Xiaomi unveiled the 12-series just days before New Year’s eve and only announced plans for a launch in China. The rest of the world is still waiting for a global launch and while there is no official time line yet, there are clues piling up that suggest that the launch is near.The Xiaomi 12 Pro and its vanilla sibling were spotted in the database of an Indonesian telco a few weeks ago, now the Pro has also gone through the FCC and has appeared in several benchmark results.The FCC report for the phone reveals support for the following 5G sub-6 bands: n5, n7, n38, n51, n66, n77 and n78. It will also feature Wi-Fi 6E support, though that is still not legalized in some regions. NFC is on board as well. This 5G connectivity is enabled by the Qualcomm modem inside the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset. A Geekbench result from the global Xiaomi 12 Pro shows 12 GB of RAM and Android 12. The score is on the low side for an 8 Gen 1 phone, so the global ROM may need work.As for the RAM, the base Pro has 8 GB, but since there is only one result in the database, we can’t draw conclusions about what memory capacities will be offered to the global audience. The vanilla Xiaomi 12 that was tested by Geekbench did have 8 GB of RAM. The phone also appeared in the HTML5Test database, using Chrome 96 on Android 12. Interestingly, this result is from two months ago, before Xiaomi unveiled the 12 series, so work on the global model has been going on for a while.
