The Xiaomi 12 Ultra may now not be quite as dead as earlier leaks have indicated. A prominent leaker has hinted that the Mi 11-series flagship successor is indeed on the way, and with faster wired charging this time. Its next generation is now slated to offer its OEM s current top speed of 120W - although it might compromise a little on other specs to do so.
According to the latest leaks, Xiaomi may defy expectations by replacing a successor for the Mi 11 Ultra with the Mix 5 Pro. However, a new Weibo post from an executive with the company suggests that this is not the case and there will be a top-end 12-series variant after all. The device might be released soon in order to honor the OEM s CEO.
The new Xiaomi 12 series of flagship smartphones was released to its first market on New Year s Eve 2021. Now, the sales data from that event is in, and the OEM claims to have made just under 2 billion yuan (~US$300 million) from the first 5 minutes worth of orders. This has beaten the record set by the Mi 11 by a good margin.
