              WHY DON’T THEY announce any phones with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1??? Xiaomi is always very fast to announce phones with new SoCs, but this time they completely ignore the new premium mid-range chip!!! 🤬

The 12s and 12s pro in China though have the same design as the 12 and 12 pro. They are likely to be the same phones but just with the newer snapdragon 8 gen1+ processor switched for the snapdragon 8 gen 1 and whatever input Leica have for the image processing and camera lenses. They camera hardware is likely to remain unchanged. The 12s pro will probably also have a Dimensity 9000 version. Yeah, the true successor to the 12 series will be the 13 series. The t series is different. That has always been a lower end and cheaper series than the main number series and is designed as a more cost effective model with a different design. The 12s is basically the same as the 12 but with a supposedly better processor and Leica branding which is why it probably won't be cheaper than the 12 series was in China. There is a good chance that the whole 12s series will remain China exclusive

                  With these specs the 12 series user will understand that the 12 series replacement is 13 series

But it would alienate their Chinese customers who bought the Xiaomi 12 a couple of months ago for full price if this comes in significantly cheaper than the Xiaomi 12 in China. Like you said though, maybe overseas pricing will be cheaper if it's rebranded

                      I bet 12s will have some cost cutting that will make it cheaper.

                      Otherwise it will not make sense to launch xiaomi 13 very early.

There is no 11t or 11tpro in China. Xiaomi 12 launched at 3,699rmb for the base variant. Just guessing the 12s should be the same but possibly a small bit cheaper. Here the 12s series is being launched not the 12t series. That will be a different launch

                          But these are a gimmick that you can get better result from the main camera and pinching in. The ones on 12 and 11T Pro are legit and might be the best macros on a phone.
                          I have no OIS and no zoom but this little feature somehow made up for it... a little.

                            i really wish 12s Pro will bring back the persicope lenses and IP rating.. it would be a perfect all rounder...

                                  Hoping 12S costs as much or maybe even cheaper as it still should be mostly the same phone, and if Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ is actually more efficient and even has less heat, 12S even at same price as normal 12 should be mega deal

                                    12S is 12T + leica
                                    12S pro is 12TPro + leica
                                    it will be priced bellow the 12/12Pro, but defenetly above the 11T/11TPro.

                                    This is why the 13 coming soon.
                                    The 13 is the direct replacement of 12/12Pro.

At least that's what happened to both Huawei and Sharp when they released their first Leica-branded phones.

                                        Great, if they will come to where I live and be offered at reasonable prices, I will definitely consider buying one of them to replace my aging Huawei P30.
