Xiaomi’s 12S series of flagship smartphones is official and it’s fair to say that the trio of handsets are all packing high-end hardware. While the Xiaomi 12S Ultra, with its mammoth 1-inch sensor, is the star of the range, neither the Xiaomi 12S or the 12S Pro should be dismissed as anything other than flagship material.
