Xiaomi 12 Ultra will reportedly launch on July 5. The tech company is expected to tease the arrival of the smartphone from June 28. Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun had announced this week that the Chinese tech giant is preparing to launch a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC-powered handset in July, which was believed to be the Xiaomi 12 Ultra. Key specifications regarding the smartphone were leaked earlier this month including that the Xiaomi 12 Ultra will come with up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB storage.
According a recent report by Hong Kong-based tech media platform Tech Going, the Xiaomi 12 Ultra will launch on July 5 along with the Asus ROG 6 series smartphones. The Chinese company is also said to start releasing the official teasers of the Xiaomi 12 Ultra on June 28 in China. Interestingly, the report added that they got the information from a tipster without a good track record, so there are chances that this leak may be false too.
