Xiaomi 12 series finally broke covers this week in China after months of anticipation. As expected, the Chinese tech giant unveiled three different models in this series namely Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi 12 Pro, and the Xiaomi 12x. The global launch is awaited and so are the official announcements on the same. However, the latest developments hint at the company’s plan to launch the Xiaomi 12x first in India. The exact variants as well as the expected pricing have surfaced online ahead of the launch.
Xiaomi 12 Series India Launch Imminent
The Xiaomi 12 series is heading to the Indian market soon. This information comes via 91Moboles. However, the publication hasn’t given any speculations on the exact launch date. Therefore, it would be hard to guess if the handset will be launching in January or February, or sometime later.
It also can’t be said if Xiaomi will introduce the remaining two models (vanilla Xiaomi 12 and the Xiaomi 12 Pro) alongside the Xiaomi 12x. That’s considering the new leak only hints at the upcoming launch of the Xiaomi 12x and not the vanilla and the Pro model. We might have to wait for a while to get some official confirmation by Xiaomi on the same.
Additionally, the Xiaomi 12X’s pricing has also been tipped by the publication. According to the report, the handset might debut starting at Rs. 40,000 in India. This could be the pricing of the base variant. Speaking of which, this report suggests the Xiaomi 12X will be launched in dual configurations similar to the Chinese variant in India.
Buyers will get the option to select the handset from 8GB RAM and 128GB storage configuration or 8GB RAM and 256GB storage option. The price of the latter variant could be slightly higher than Rs. 40,000. The Xiaomi 12X color options available in India would also be the same as the Chinese variant. The device will be available in three different shades including blue, gray, and purple.
