A range of Xiaomi smartphones, including the 12 Ultra (code name: L1), the 12S Pro (code name: L2S), the 12S Pro Dimensity Edition (code name: L2M), and the 12S (code name: L3S), have all obtained network access certificates from China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The Xiaomi 12 Ultra, the firm’s imaging flagship model, will be released soon. Domestic technology industry tipster with Weibo username “Digital Chat Station” indicated that this smartphone will be released in early July.

The account also claimed that the Xiaomi 12 Ultra will not have Leica logo on the cover of the phone, but there will be a surprise with the image watermark. This may mean that there will be a Leica logo on the watermark of Xiaomi 12 Ultra photos.

Last month, Xiaomi announced that it had reached a global imaging strategic cooperation with Leica. The new mobile phone is expected to have a 50MP main camera, a 48MP super wide angle camera and a 48MP telephoto camera.
