The Xiaomi 12 models will go on sale immediately in Europe, Southeast Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America. The global release in other regions could take a while.
The Xiaomi 12 and 12 Pro had launched in China in December and their specs are pretty much out in the open and we are pretty familiar with them. The new entrant is the Xiaomi 12X, the device comes with a Snapdragon 870 chip, which is also why it is priced lower than the other two devices in the lineup.
In terms of pricing, the Xiaomi 12 Pro begins at $1,000 or 76,417 INR for the 8GB+256GB variant, there is also a 12GB+256GB variant. The Xiaomi 12 is priced at $750 or 57,313 INR for the 8GB+128GB variant. It is priced slightly higher than the Xiaomi 11 which seems fair.
