However, there has been no official announcement from Xiaomi regarding the launch of the Xiaomi 12T series, so these details should be taken with a pinch of salt. The Chinese manufacturer recently unveiled its latest flagship, the Xiaomi 12S Ultra in China, alongside the Xiaomi 12S Pro and Xiaomi 12S.
