Other specs (via GSMArena) include a 6.73-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 3,200 x 1,440 pixel resolution, 8/12GB of RAM, 128/256/512GB of storage, and a 4,820mAh battery with 120W wired charging, as well as 50W wireless charging.

The rear camera array is Leica-branded and consists of three 50-megapixel sensors, which were also featured on last year's Xiaomi 12 Pro. There are differences, though; the main camera has Sony's 1-inch IMX989 sensor, and the telephoto lens has 3x zoom.
