In recent years, more and more users have complained about the now mammoth size of most smartphones on the market. Unfortunately, not all manufacturers satisfy this group of users, but as we know Xiaomi is different and has always released more compact versions of their flagships, even if with less attractive specifications.
Xiaomi already working on the Mi 12 Youth Edition: it will be compact like the iPhone 13
Well, apparently it will be like this again next year. The well-known blogger Digital Chat Station has in fact shared a post on Weibo (the Chinese Twitter) in which he states that “L3 (code name), a flagship with a small 6,3 ″ ± screen is ready to be certified”.
It is speculated that this model with code name "L3" belongs to the Mi 12 series and will most likely be the next Xiaomi 12 Youth Edition.
The same leakster also revealed another equally important detail, namely that this hypothetical Xiaomi 12 Youth Edition will not be equipped with a mid-range chip as typically happens, but will instead be equipped with a high-end Snapdragon 8 series processor. we are talking about at least one Snapdragon 870 or a new generation equivalent chip.
In any case, the low power consumption and low heat generation of the Snapdragon 870 chip will bring huge benefits on a small model like the Mi 12 Youth Edition is supposed to be. Obviously, other high-end specs should not be missing, such as high refresh rate (120Hz?), A higher screen-to-body ratio and much more. Overall it should emulate Apple's iPhone mini series, which is apparently very popular.
We recall that previously, Xiaomi executives had repeatedly given the news of a possible flagship from the small screen, but to date we have not yet seen anything of the kind.
So hopefully these latest updates are confirmation that a new mini flagship from Xiaomi will debut next year.
