  • Xiaomi co-founder Lei Jun says the Xiaomi 12 Ultra was canceled in favor of the 12S Ultra.
  • Jun said the 12 Ultra was originally scheduled to launch in March or April.

The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra was the company’s first ultra-premium flagship phone, packing features like a flexible triple rear camera system, IP68 rating, and fast wireless charging. We expected the Xiaomi 12 Ultra to debut in 2022, but the firm is offering the Xiaomi 12S Ultra instead.

Now, Xiaomi co-founder Lei Jun has revealed in the comments of a Weibo post (h/t: ITHome and Phandroid) that the device was originally supposed to launch in the first half of the year before being canceled.
