Xiaomi 12 mini has been spotted online in an alleged render shared by a tipster, suggesting that Xiaomi could be working on a compact smartphone. Xiaomi is yet to reveal plans for a compact smartphone as part of the Xiaomi 12 series that could rival iPhone 13 mini. The Chinese smartphone manufacturer launched the Xiaomi 12 series in China in December 2021, and Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi 12 Pro, and Xiaomi 12X are set to debut in global markets by the end of February or early March.
