Xiaomi 12S Ultra The most Powerful Smartphone to Date!

The Xiaomi 12S Ultra is the latest flagship smartphone which is part of the new Xiaomi 12s series. It's the brand’s most powerful and feature-packed smartphone to date, it utilizes Leica's world-class optical design with Sony IMX989 sensor.

Xiaomi 12S Ultra features a 6.73" AMOLED color display with E5 luminescent material that delivers professional detail, brightness, and color performance, as well as 1500 nits peak brightness, 2K resolution, P3 color gamut, and 1-120Hz AdaptiveSync Pro. Xiaomi 12S supports P3 color gamut display, HDR10+, and 120Hz AdaptiveSync.

Xiaomi 12S Ultra uses an 8P aspheric lens to reduce flare, ghosting, and chromatic aberration. The camera module also has anti-glare lens coating, lens edge ink coating, cyclic olefin copolymer material, and an infrared light filter using spin coating technology. These improvements provide a clearer, more consistent lens image.

Xiaomi 12S Ultra uses Sony's 1" IMX989 sensor with 1.6m pixels. Pixel binning reduces noise, extends the dynamic range, increases light collected, and improves low-light imaging. Xiaomi 12S Ultra supports Dolby Vision HDR video recording and playback. Dolby Vision improves video quality by enhancing colors, contrast, and details. Xiaomi 12S Ultra features HyperOIS for ultra-stable video recording. HyperOIS uses the interval between two frames to drive the OIS motor, giving each frame a full stabilization range.

Xiaomi 12S Ultra "co-engineered with Leica" is the first flagship model to be equipped with two proprietary Xiaomi Surge processors, Xiaomi Surge P1 fast-charging chipset and Xiaomi Surge G1 battery management chipset.

Xiaomi 12S Ultra supports 67W wired, 50W wireless, and 10W reverse wireless charging. The Xiaomi Surge Battery Management System includes a 4,860mAh single-cell silicon-oxygen anode battery and Xiaomi Surge P1 fast-charging chipset, which provides up to 16A output current with 96.8% conversion efficiency. Xiaomi Surge G1's battery management chipset includes self-developed algorithms to ensure the battery's operating safety and monitor discharge load to predict battery life. Xiaomi 12S Ultra offers adaptive charging to prevent overcharging, increasing charge cycles by 25%.
