With a smartphone like this, you don't even need a camera! Xiaomi 12S Ultra in one fell swoop sends almost the entire guard of digital compacts to the dustbin of history. And that's why.
Inch image sensor
As a background, it is necessary to mention Xiaomi's fresh partnership with the German manufacturer of photographic equipment Leica. We talked about such cooperation in more detail in the article “Collaborations of well-known smartphone manufacturers and giants of the photo industry”. So, with the support of Leica, the newly minted flagship Xiaomi 12S Ultra got hold of a top-end main camera with an inch Sony IMX989 image sensor at 50.3 MP as the leader. It also implements a highly effective HyperOIS optical image stabilization system. Sensors of similar physical dimensions are widely used in the family of compact cameras with non-replaceable lenses.
Camera stylization
Shooting video on the main module of the rear camera of a mobile device is allowed in Dolby Vision HD format with a resolution of 8K. On one huge protruding die with a leading image sensor, a 48 MP ultra-wide and a 48 MP telephoto with a fivefold optical zoom found shelter. Visually, the main camera is framed for a large round lens. The rest of the surface of the “back” of the device is covered with leather trim.
Juicy AMOLED panel
On other fronts, Xiaomi 12S Ultra also holds its own. The smartphone was equipped with a large screen of 6.73 inches diagonally based on an AMOLED panel with LTPO 2.0 technology. The display of the model is characterized by a resolution of the broadcast image of 3200x1440 pixels and an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz. A fingerprint scanner is built directly into the screen.
Flagship hardware
The hardware platform of the smartphone is based on the flagship mobile Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, coupled with 8/256 GB of onboard memory. The cooling system of the "insides" of the device imitates the veins on the leaves for better heat dissipation. In addition, the model has acquired a fast charging function for a 4680 mAh battery (67 W via wire and 50 W via wireless technology), Harman Kardon stereo speakers, Wi-Fi6E and Bluetooth v 5.2 adapters, IP68 dust and water protection. Finally, to optimize battery performance and extend its life, two custom processors Surge G1 and Surge P1 are introduced into the design of the smartphone.
