Xiaomi 12T Pro: Camera Setup (Rumored)

The Xiaomi 12T Pro was first spotted with a codename "Diting" and a model number "220121UG" by folks over at Xiaomiui in June/July 2022. Later, it was spotted on multiple certification websites such as the IMEI database, FCC, and China's 3C. There was even a leaked image that revealed its camera island with the 200MP branding, corroborating the rumors of a 200MP sensor.

Now that the brand has confirmed the availability of the sensor in its upcoming smartphone, you can expect it to be the one that debuted with the Moto X30 Pro/ Moto Edge 30 Ultra.

Xiaomi might club this sensor with OIS for steadier shots and videos. Also, the OIS will aid in improving night photography. Expect it to boast up to 8K video recording capabilities. The ancillary cameras are nothing to write home about. Reportedly, they will be an 8MP ultrawide snapper and a 2MP macro sensor.
