Ahead of its official launch in tomorrow in China, Xiaomi is now confirming hardware features of the Xiaomi 12S Pro. Most notable is the presence of the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, dual-mode 120 W charging, and solid cameras that should be even better thanks to Leicas contributions.

Despite being "only" a Vivobook, the Vivobook S 14X uses the same 14.5-inch Samsung OLED panel as the Zenbook Pro 14 Duo for a similar viewing experience at a much cheaper price. If youre looking to spend just under $1000 USD on an Ultrabook, then this Asus can offer a lot for the money.

Sadly, though, all of that may be irrelevant to fans outside China, as the phones look unlikely to ever launch globally.
