Xiaomi 12 camera specifications have been tipped.
The flagship is said to come with a 50MP primary sensor, accompanied by a 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a 50MP telephoto camera.
The 50MP telephoto camera will reportedly have a 5X zoom.

Xiaomi 12 (formerly, Mi 12) is known to be in the works for some time and is expected to launch later this year, probably after the latest Qualcomm chipset is unveiled. Quite a few rumours have revealed a good deal about the flagship. Now, the latest leak, courtesy of Digital Chat Station, has spilt the beans on the camera details of the Xiaomi 12. It appears that the company will be ditching the 108MP sensor that was seen on the Mi 11 and MIX 4 recently. The Xiaomi 12 is said to use a 50MP triple camera setup on the back. This means the phone will have a 50MP primary sensor, accompanied by a 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a 50MP telephoto camera. The latter is said to have a 5x periscope zoom functionality. However, Xiaomi is said to be working on 10x periscope as well.

As it currently stands, the Xiaomi 12 is still in the design verification stage, according to the leakster. This means the final hardware details may vary. That’s pretty much it about the Xiaomi 12 camera details, for now, but we should hear more details in the next few weeks.
