Its rear side features a 50-megapixel (Sony IMX989, 1-inch main sensor) + 48-megapixel (ultra-wide) + 48-megapixel (periscope telephoto) triple camera unit with dual OIS. The device runs on the Android 12 OS with MIUI 13 on top.

The 12S Ultra is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset, LPDDR5 RAM, and UFS 3.1 storage. It houses a 5,000mAh battery with 67W fast charging support, 50W wireless charging support, and 10W wireless charging support. The device offers IP68 rated dust / water resistance.
