The listing shows an 8GB RAM variant with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, similar to the China models. It is running Android 12, most likely with the MIUI on top, similar to the variants available in China. Xiaomi also sells a 12GB RAM variant of the Xiaomi 12 in its home country, but we’re not sure if that’ll be sold globally. We’d have to wait a couple more weeks to find out for sure.
