A recent leak from Weibo’s well-known tipster, Digital Chat Station, provides us with an idea of the design of the impending Xiaomi 12. The most important conclusion is that the phone will have a high screen-to-body ratio.
Sure, flagships from the last few years have high screen-to-body ratios by definition, but the chin has remained slightly broader than the rest of the bezels. Only a handful of handsets have symmetrically thin bezels all around. The Xiaomi 12 will most likely have a thinner chin that matches the sides, increasing the ratio more than its predecessor.
There will also be a minor curvature to the sides, which isn’t surprising, but based on machine-translation from Chinese, the tipster is predicting lower curvatures than before. Furthermore, the cutout for the front-facing camera will be significantly smaller than on the Xiaomi Mi 11 family.
The report does not mention whether the modifications affect both the vanilla and Pro models or only the latter.
