    I think Xiaomi will skip launching the 12S and 12S Pro globally, but launch the 12S Ultra in limited quantities

        For your information GSMarena, 1" sensor format has 116 mm² area. The diagonal of these sensors only measures 0.63″ and to be blamed are the old cathode-ray tubes (CRT) technology for this misleading marketing technique.

        A reputable publication before posting something should do some investigation first if expects to be taken seriously. :)

Instead they calculate this 1" from some BS metric from a whole century ago when they still used vacuum tubes to capture images. It's ridiculous.

              Wish Sony made the biggest sensor, the best lens, best in all field of view in their xperias. It's like they hit themselves.

Lei Jun has officially confirmed this about 7 hours ago on Weibo. Most rumours suggest these models are likely to remain China exclusive though

                  Many phone companies used 1" sensor, but they don't use the whole sensor, just a small part of it, which makes it no different from others currently used.

                  I don't think Xiaomi will be that different in this part, they will not use the whole sensor.

                    It's time for 3:2, 24MP camera sensors, 3:4, 12MP is disgusting, boxy, yakk!

                        dedicated macro isnt neccesary. hoping there will be telephoto. so it would be main + uw + telescope setup. just like iphone 13 pro max.

                            "All these specs seem the same as the Xiaomi 12 - the difference will be the new Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset while the cameras will receive the Leica treatment."

                            Thats wrong. Only the xiaomi 12 pro offered the IMX707. The 12 variant the weaker IMX766.

                            In the original Chinese source it says anyway: the 12s will get a sensor upgrade and thus offer the same sensors as the 12 pro.

                              YESSS!!!!

                              Hope the Xiaomi 12s and 12s pro will use the main cam of mi 12 pro, same ultrawide as mi 11 ultra, and at least an 2x or 3x zoom.

                              While the 12 ultra should have the 5x periscope , 2x tele from mi 12 pro, and the ultrawide should get OIS
