The render shows that the Xiaomi 12 mini comes with a triple camera setup at the rear paired with a vertical LED flash and Xiaomi branding. The camera setup houses a main primary sensor, which is significantly larger than the other two cameras. The Xiaomi 12 and 12X come with a 6.28-inch display, while the Pro variant comes with a 6.73-inch display. As the name suggests, the Xiaomi 12 mini will be a compact version of the flagship model and is likely to be under 6-inch. However, the leak’s legitimacy is still questionable, as there is no confirmation of the device. So, we suggest you take it with a pinch of salt.
