• Xiaomi co-founder Lei Jun says the 12 Ultra was scrapped in favor of the 12S Ultra.
• The phone will have a brand-new Sony IMX989 1-inch camera sensor.
• It will reportedly have a 50MP resolution with 1.15m pixels.

In the end, Xiaomi won’t ever release the Xiaomi 12 Ultra. The phone might no longer serve as the organization’s upcoming flagship model.

Lei Jun, a co-founder of Xiaomi, has revealed that the rumoured Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra replacement has been scrapped.

He disclosed that the phone was initially slated to launch earlier this year, but the business opted to abandon the plan in order to concentrate on enhancing the user experience.

In answer to a fan’s inquiry on the distinction between the impending Xiaomi 12S Ultra and the 12 Ultra on Weido, he provided the confirmation.

The Snapdragon 8, which was previously scheduled to launch in March and April but was postponed, is included in the Xiaomi Mi 12 Ultra, according to Jun.

“We updated [to a] Snapdragon 8+ in search of a better experience, and Qualcomm and Leica continued to train for several months.”

There is a positive aspect to the cancellation, though. The 12 Ultra was discontinued by Xiaomi in favour of the 12S Ultra, as Jun’s comment demonstrates.

Thanks to its collaboration with Sony, Xiaomi revealed an important camera upgrade for the 12S Ultra yesterday.

The phone will have a brand-new Sony IMX989 1-inch camera sensor. The sensor is praised for its improved dynamic range, increased light sensitivity, and quick focus time.

The phone’s camera will reportedly have a 50MP resolution with 1.15m pixels, giving it an advantage over some of the top Android phones, however the resolution is still unknown.

This is in addition to Xiaomi’s current partnership with Leica. For its upcoming flagship device, Xiaomi agreed into a “long-term strategic cooperation” with the German photography juggernaut in May.

Recent rumors said that the phone would use a Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 SoC and 120W quick charging.

A 120Hz screen refresh rate, 8GB or 12GB of RAM, and up to 256GB of internal storage are also reportedly included.

On July 4, Xiaomi will announce its newest high-end device, so by then we’ll probably know what happened to the Xiaomi 12 Ultra.
