Xiaomi 12S Ultra sports a stunning camera, but you won’t get to try it

The camera module at the back is designed to resemble an actual DSLR camera lens. The design also functions as a tribute to Xiaomi’s partnership with Leica, the German camera-maker. However, the 12S series will remain limited to the China market, according to the company. This was first reported by Android Central, and Xiaomi PR teams also confirmed to us that this would be the case.

It is surprising, given Xiaomi streamed the event on its global YouTube channel as well. For now, all we know is that the Xiaomi 12S Ultra is unlikely to be made available in India and other markets. There’s still a chance that the Xiaomi 12S Ultra could come to other markets, but with a different name or number line. However, that’s all speculation as of now, and we will have to wait for confirmation.
