Leaks about the Xiaomi 12 series keep popping up in the lead-up to its launch, and so far the information hasn't come as much of a surprise. But there is one leak related to the design of the Xiaomi 12 Ultra that makes you shake your head.
A tipster named WhyLab recently uploaded a photo of the protective case for the Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi 12 Pro, and Xiaomi 12 Ultra. This photo shows the design of the Xiaomi 12 series from the back, as well as the module and number of cameras.
The cases for the Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12 Pro look the same, and match what we already know about these phones. From the camera module, you can see that there is one large hole for the main camera and three small holes that are likely for the other two cameras and the flash.
The most eye-catching is the case for the Xiaomi 12 Ultra due to its very strange camera design. The camera module is in the form of a large circle placed in the center and there are eight holes, which may not all be for the camera lens.
In the center of the module there is a large circular hole. The large hole is surrounded by seven other holes with different shapes and dimensions, as can be seen below.

Since the camera module takes up a third of the back of the phone, the Xiaomi 12 Ultra is unlikely to carry a secondary screen on the back like the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, as quoted from TechRadar, Monday (12/13/2021).
Speculation about the specifications of the Xiaomi 12 Ultra camera was immediately crowded after the camera module design was leaked. If the two holes are used for the main camera and flash, it means that there are still six more holes that must be filled.
Other possible cameras that will be carried are periscope lenses, ultrawide, and depth sensors. While the other three holes may be filled by sensors with specific functions.
The Xiaomi 12 series is expected to be released at the end of this month, so it's not long before we see what the Xiaomi 12 Ultra really looks like. What do you think about this leak?
