Xiaomi recently brought a range of new products to China before bidding adieu to this year. The new products include the flagship series Xiaomi 12, a smartwatch, earbuds, and yes MIUI 13, a new upgrade to its custom ROM. Together with these, Xiaomi also surprised its users with Xiaomi 12X, a relatively cheaper edition of Xiaomi 12 so that the users do not go out of options.

Now, we are hearing Xiaomi might be prepping to launch this cheaper edition in India as well. A report from 91Mobiles citing its sources not only claims an impending launch but also reveals storage and color variants of the phone. As per the report, the Xiaomi 12X will arrive in two storage variants – 8GB/128GB and 8GB/256GB. The report goes on to state that the phone will arrive in purple, blue, and gray color options.

However, there are no details available on its tentative launch and pricing. But, we can expect the device to be priced somewhere around Rs. 40,000 in the country.

It is worth mentioning that Xiaomi 12X gets the same processor that its predecessor Xiaomi Mi 11X came with. It is the Snapdragon 870 SoC, which went official earlier this year as a follow-up to the flagship Snapdragon 865 Plus SoC. Nevertheless, the Xiaomi 12X does bring some notable upgrades to the table, including a compact design, 67W fast-charging, 8K video recording, and “toughest” Gorilla Glass protection, though the changes aren’t too deal-breaking.
