New Delhi: Xiaomi is launching the Xiaomi 12 Pro in India this month, the company confirmed on late Thursday, moments ahead of the OnePlus 10 Pro's launch in the country. The India launch of Xiaomi 12 Pro comes months after its unveiling in the company's home turf China and other regions globally. The Xiaomi 12 Pro is a flagship offering from the handset maker, as the name suggests. However, it will sit below a rumoured Xiaomi 12 Ultra, as and when the latter launches.


The Xiaomi 12 Pro will take on the likes of OnePlus 10 Pro and Realme GT 2 Pro among others.


"Life is a show, let's make it worth the wait. #π‘‹π‘–π‘Žπ‘œπ‘šπ‘–12π‘ƒπ‘Ÿπ‘œ 5𝐺 is coming soon to India! Because the show is incomplete without "𝗧𝗡𝗲 π—¦π—΅π—Όπ˜„π˜€π˜π—Όπ—½π—½π—²π—Ώ"," Xiaomi officially announced on Twitter.






Minutes later, the launch of Xiaomi 12 Pro was also confirmed by Manu Kumar Jain, the Head of Xiaomi India and the Global Vice President of Xiaomi on Twitter. "The π˜π—Άπ—Ίπ—² will tell. #π‘‹π‘–π‘Žπ‘œπ‘šπ‘–12π‘ƒπ‘Ÿπ‘œ 5G is coming soon! 😍 I ❀️ #Xiaomi," Jain tweeted.


Even though Jain did not mention a specified date for the launch of the Xiaomi 12 Pro in India, but the picture posted along with his tweet featured a calendar with April 12 marked, thus, indicating that the smartphone may be unveiled in India on April 12. It is also not known if the Xiaomi 12 Pro India launch will also witness the launch of the vanilla Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12X.
