The first live photo of the promising flagship Xiaomi 12s has been published on the Web – it is expected that it will replace the current Xiaomi 12. The image shows familiar features with one difference – the camera unit is now branded with the Leica inscription.

This means that Leica cameras will be more widely used in Xiaomi smartphones than previously thought. Rumors attributed such a block only to Xiaomi 12 Ultra, a top-end and obviously expensive camera phone. Now it turns out that the Leica camera will also be in the much more affordable Xiaomi 12s.

Little is known about Xiaomi 12s yet. Rumors attribute to this model SoC Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 and still a small screen. Probably, the AMOLED panel with a diagonal of 6.28 inches will go to the new product from the current Xiaomi 12. The camera, of course, will get better, but, judging by the photo, there will be no periscope module.
