The Xiaomi 12 Pro not only comes with a new design, but also an entirely revamped camera setup with three highly capable 50-MP sensors. Additionally, there are a lot of modern high-end features. In this review we will explore why there is still room for improvements.

The Xiaomi 12 Pro 5G is an all-round premium flagship smartphone. The phone cuts corners on a few things such as ingress protection, macro camera sensor, wired audio jack, etc. but compensates generously on other fronts to balance out the equation. That said, the Xiaomi 12 Pro 5G is not exactly an undersell but a modestly priced premium smartphone better than many of its peers.

After the whole Mi 11 Ultra (Review) availability fiasco, it's nice to see the 12 Pro on open sale right after its launch. Xiaomi's focus on performance and quality instead of numbers with the 12 Pro has really paid off. This phone still falls a bit short when it comes to consistency with the rear cameras, but I'm hoping these minor issues can be ironed out with software updates. Regardless, the overall image and video quality that you get with these cameras is quite good which makes the Xiaomi 12 Pro a solid contender in the premium smartphone space. It also happens to offer great value with a starting price of Rs. 62,999. The only feature that's missing is an official IP rating. Those who don't like a heavily skinned Android OS can always look at Motorola's Moto Edge 30 Pro (Review), which is priced lower (at Rs. 49,999). The iQoo 9 Pro (Review) is a good alternative as it has a unique design and a very good gimbal camera system for video recording plus a noteworthy macro mode.

There’s no doubt that the Xiaomi 12 Pro is a very capable device. It has all the specs and features to be considered ‘premium’. But Xiaomi knows that isn’t enough. It is competing against serious players. The biggest target is the OnePlus 10 Pro, which packs a very unique camera setup (link to our review) with Hasselblad branding. Samsung’s Galaxy S22 Plus and the iPhone 13 all also sport very capable cameras, and are potential rivals, given the price bracket. Even the Realme GT Pro has quite the specs and camera. So has Xiaomi done enough to take on them? In some sense, yes. The design, camera, and performance are what a premium user expects. The battery seems to be the weak point, but the 120W fast charging helps replenish this quickly. It also has the advantage of a slightly lower price of Rs 62,999 compared to say, the OnePlus 10 Pro and the Galaxy S22 Plus, which it will be hoping gives it an edge.

The Xiaomi 12 Pro retails for Rs 62,999 and for the price, brings a lot of unique features to the mix. For starters, the device offers an exceptional media consumption experience, which can be accredited to the smartphone’s stunning display and its fantastic quad-speaker setup. Furthermore, the Xiaomi 12 Pro is stupendously fast too, and the device employs a capable main camera that clicks outstanding photos. Be that as it may, the smartphone isn’t perfect and I would’ve liked to see a more capable set of auxiliary cameras with the phone. Furthermore, the handset runs hot, which could be construed as a deal-breaker by hardcore gamers. And, while MIUI 13 has a lot going for it, I wish the company would’ve offered better customisation features with the device. All said and done, the Xiaomi 12 Pro is a good phone that, with some software updates, can match (and even surpass) a user’s expectations.

The Xiaomi 12 Pro has an awful lot going for it, but that’s coupled with a pair of major flaws. I love the sleek, understated design. I love the beautiful display and the impressive performance. And I (mostly) love the camera, which is a solid performer, if not quite best-in-class. Unfortunately, the battery life is a clear failing, and the software suffers too – both from accidental bugs and intentional design choices. Some of these failings could well be fixed with updates, but for the moment they frustrate. That’s not enough to stop me from recommending the Xiaomi 12 Pro, but it is enough to make me encourage you to take a close look at the phone's rivals before you commit.

As a premium smartphone priced starting at Rs. 62,999 in India, the Xiaomi 12 Pro sure looks the part of a proper flagship. It seems premium and classy, but it's missing one important feature, which is an official IP rating for dust and water resistance. It's a little odd considering some of Xiaomi's budget phones do have IP ratings. This alone could be a deal-breaker for some buyers. I'm also interested to see how Xiaomi's Android 12 implementation compares to Samsung and OnePlus' flagships. If you are interested in this premium smartphone from Xiaomi, stay tuned for my full review, which will be out soon on Gadgets 360.

Okay, so what do I make of the Xiaomi 12 Pro? I think Xiaomi is definitely off to a good start with this phone. It provides a really good display experience, the design is well built, and the cameras are reliable and consistent enough—although not entirely flagship-level—while the company has also improved on the software side of things a lot compared to last year. And more importantly, this phone is somewhat cheaper than your typical flagship phone, so you are getting a premium experience at a lesser price as well. On the other hand, there are some things that I’m not happy about the Xiaomi 12 Pro like the missing IP68 rating. And I also wish the phone had a better cooling mechanism to keep the thermals in check. But overall, the Xiaomi 12 Pro surprisingly is an easy recommendation.

The 12 Pro is Xiaomi’s latest attempt to take on the best of Samsung and Apple at the top of the premium market, which delivers in some areas while falling short in others. It certainly looks the part, feels great, performs well and has the fastest charging currently available. The camera is pretty good too but lacks extended optical zoom, limited only to 2x magnification where others offer 3x or 4x for the same price. Xiaomi’s Miui software is improving but still feels geared towards enthusiasts. The biggest problems for the 12 Pro are relatively weak battery life and high cost. The buyer is simply getting less with the Xiaomi than with similar phones from OnePlus, Google, Samsung or Apple.

A well rounded and powerful smartphone, the Xiaomi 12 is one of the best Android devices out there right now. It directly competes with big-name smartphone makers like Apple and OnePlus, as well as the best Samsung phones on the market. You should buy this phone if you care more about the screen and performance than you do the camera and battery life. In fact, its performance actually outshone some of its biggest rivals, and that’ll be one of the most convincing factors here. There are some areas where it's not quite up to the same level as other smartphones, but not everyone needs to take professional-grade photographs or have their phone last for two days at a time, especially given the super-fast charging capabilities you get. I wouldn’t let those things put you off if they’re not be-all-and-end-all features for you because outside of those complaints this is without a shadow of a doubt, a truly fantastic smartphone.

The Xiaomi 12 Pro is arguably the company’s best phone yet, but it doesn’t quite strike the impeccable price-to-performance balance of last year’s Xiaomi Mi 11. Its stealthy design, speedy performance and vibrant display put it right up there with the Oppo Find X5 Pro and the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus. Meanwhile, the 12 Pro’s triple 50MP camera system is impressively balanced, and the main sensor in particular is capable of producing top-notch results in all conditions. There are a couple of areas where the Xiaomi 12 Pro doesn’t quite justify its new premium pricing, however. The provision of a mere 2x telephoto lens is forgivable, given that its inclusion represents a big advance on both the Xiaomi Mi 11 and the Xiaomi 12. But the lack of any kind of IP rating is a curious omission for a phone with genuine title aspirations. Elsewhere, we have some concerns about the phone’s battery life, at least when it comes to media playback performance. The Xiaomi 12 Pro is a fine flagship phone, then, with a few flaws that are cast in a rather unforgiving light by some newly premium pricing.

Powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, the Xiaomi 12 Pro is another high-performance smartphone from the Chinese manufacturer. All three rear-camera modules — primary, ultra-wide and tele — use sensors with a 50MP resolution. The variant in the primary module is one of the largest we have seen in a smartphone camera, at 1/1.28″. While the ultra-wide camera allows you to squeeze a lot of scene into the frame, the tele is a little more limited in terms of focal length when compared to the direct competition.

Xiaomi had all the right pieces in place to build a competitive flagship. The 12 Pro came very close to putting those pieces together in just the right way, but it managed to misplace a few things along the path toward flagship perfection. The most concerning shortcoming of the phone, battery life, is somewhat balanced out by ridiculous charging speeds. I’d feel better about the Xiaomi 12 Pro if it had more left in the tank at the end of the day, though it is absolutely awesome that the phone can fully recharge in about 20 minutes. Xiaomi also opted to leave an IP rating off the feature list and that was a critical mistake. Nearly all the top flagships are certified against water immersion and the 12 Pro is not. Further, most competing devices up the wow factor a bit with designs that stand out and materials that carry a more premium feel. Toss in the average camera with its inconsistent zoom setup and you have a phone that doesn’t quite measure up, particularly considering the price of the competition. It’s not all bad, of course.

The Xiaomi 12 Pro impressed us in our review for the Philippines, thanks to that amazing-looking screen, solid build quality as well as ultra-fast charging time. Unfortunately, Xiaomi’s latest top-tier flagship has increased considerably in price, and the Xiaomi 12 Pro’s Php 48,999 sticker price is a little hard to swallow considering it doesn’t have a formal IP rating, as well as short reach on its supposedly zoom optics. That being said, it’s not a bad phone, and it demonstrates just how well the brand has caught up to its rivals in terms of offering a flagship contender.

For RM3899, should you get the Xiaomi 12 Pro? If what you want is a beautiful big display and a great camera setup, the Xiaomi 12 Pro comes strongly recommended by me. But if what you want is a true flagship that covers all the bases… I am not quite sure that the Xiaomi 12 Pro is there yet. At this price point, I feel like Xiaomi is still a little shaky, and the Xiaomi 12 Pro is not quite ready to go up against the sub-RM4000 flagships in the market as an overall package. There’s no IP rating, unlike most of the top dogs at this price range out there. Performance is also at times worse than last-gen devices, with heating being a real issue here, although Xiaomi might not be entirely to blame here. Battery life is just par for the course, despite the LTPO AMOLED display intended to help lower power consumption. The upside is that charging is just ridiculously fast, with a full charge easily attainable in less than 30 minutes. Not quite as fast as the 18 minutes that Xiaomi claimed, but it is still super quick. In fact, Xiaomi also took another step backwards.

Battery life is just par for the course, despite the LTPO AMOLED display intended to help lower power consumption. The upside is that charging is just ridiculously fast, with a full charge easily attainable in less than 30 minutes. Not quite as fast as the 18 minutes that Xiaomi claimed, but it is still super quick. In fact, Xiaomi also took another step backwards.

The Xiaomi 12 Pro has an awful lot going for it, but that’s coupled with a pair of major flaws. I love the sleek, understated design. I love the beautiful display and the impressive performance. And I (mostly) love the camera, which is a solid performer, if not quite best-in-class. Unfortunately, the battery life is a clear failing, and the software suffers too – both from accidental bugs and intentional design choices. Some of these failings could well be fixed with updates, but for the moment they frustrate. That’s not enough to stop me from recommending the Xiaomi 12 Pro, but it is enough to make me encourage you to take a close look at the phone's rivals before you commit.

The Xiaomi 12 Pro is a frustrating handset. Nicely made and featuring a superb AMOLED screen, a top-end chipset and a triple 50MP rear camera array with a usable zoom mode, it also offers very fast charging and a useful IR blaster. However, the speakers are nothing special, there's no IP rating, and battery life is disappointing.

So, we’re at the end of this comparison review and I really think we need to look at the price. Here in Malaysia, the prices are as below: I personally think that the Xiaomi 12 – the tiny one – is a good choice. At the price of RM2,999 (don’t buy the 128GB version please), I think it’s expensive, yes – but it’s a good compact phone. I should say – it’s also a phone that I’ll consider carrying in my pocket too. As for the Xiaomi 12 Pro, at RM3,899, I think it’s just way too expensive for what it has to offer. Despite having 50MP for all the camera sensors, other parts of the phone fell apart for me. The battery life, the reality of the charging speed, USB 2.0, that price tag – yeah I’ll rather get the Samsung Galaxy S22 or S22 Plus at that price point.

Admittedly, this was my first time using a high-end Android phone as my daily driver in recent years, and I’m happy to say that the Xiaomi 12 Pro did not disappoint. It’s an absolute beast with an amazing camera and breezes through any task or app I throw at it, despite the fact that it can quickly and noticeably heat up in a variety of situations. It can go toe-to-toe with the likes of Samsung while outpricing it and the lightning-speed charging is a huge convenience, to say the least. The 12 Pro is a great choice for those looking for a flagship smartphone, though you could save yourself some money and go for the regular Xiaomi 12 model if you want a smaller version that’s easier to handle with one hand.

While the nearly $400 price gap between the Xiaomi 12 Pro and the OPPO Find X5 Pro (price converted from EUR) is large enough that should convince many to pick Xiaomi over OPPO, I’m not sure the $200 price difference between Xiaomi 12 Pro and Galaxy S22 Ultra is large enough, as Samsung just brings a more polished and versatile package all around. I suppose the Xiaomi 12 Pro should be compared to the Galaxy S22 Plus (not the Ultra), in which case I think Xiaomi 12 Pro holds up very well. But like I said, I think there will be a Xiaomi 12 Ultra coming, one that will be more equipped to tackle Samsung’s best of the best. But knowing this also puts the Xiaomi 12 Pro in a sort of lame duck spot — if you want to save money, you’re better off getting the Xiaomi 12, if you want Xiaomi’s best slab offering, everyone knows this isn’t quite it. So despite the Xiaomi 12 Pro being a good flagship, there are propositions above and below it that take the spotlight away from it.

The Xiaomi 12 Pro is one of the most balanced phones around, and the fact that it costs just shy of $1,000 means it undercuts the best from Apple, Oppo, and Samsung. It misses out on a good camera zoom, but that's the only real drawback to an otherwise great package - one that combines a refined design that keeps fingerprints at bay with class-leading fast-charging, a zingy screen, and stacks of power.

Overall the Xiaomi 12 Pro is a masterclass in high-spec screen performance and subtle design. Its unassuming visuals hide a powerful performance within, while its cameras are gimmick-free and great across the board (if only it was a 3x zoom rather than 2x though). Why not a higher score then? The battery life is knocking on the door of unacceptable, really, which is the one big question mark over this product (sure, super-fast charging goes some way into negating this, but doesn't offset our anxiety completely). And there are still some quirks with software notifications and Android Auto functionality that grate (although MIUI 13 here acts far better than its predecessor). So we're still on that Xiaomi rollercoaster: the 12 Pro's high peaks are met with some troughs that might prevent you from riding again. There are moments of pure class, though, that's for sure.

From what we’ve seen so far, the Xiaomi 12 Pro looks like a very tempting device. Not only is its starting price lower than key rivals such as the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus, but it seems to perform well across all the key metrics that we’ve briefly tried out, from the triple camera sensor to the lush screen, to the processing power. Stay tuned for our full review to see whether this phone could be the go-to Android smartphone of 2022.

Xiaomi 12 Pro starts at $999 for the 8GB variant with 256GB of storage, which is in line with similarly equipped flagships. If you want the sexiest phone around, it probably won't fit the bill — the design is bland and Xiaomi still doesn't have the brand power to match Samsung and Apple. The camera, while very powerful on paper, is a bit uneven; the main sensor can often match any flagship out there, but zoom and ultra-wide performance aren't the best. The phone also lacks certain features that it should not lack at this price point, such as (official) water and dust resistance. On the other hand, the Xiaomi 12 Pro has loads of power, with the fastest Snapdragon chip and up to 12GB of RAM, as well as a gorgeous display. If those features are important to you, the Xiaomi 12 Pro is a good deal.

The Xiaomi 12 Pro is a very direct successor to the Mi 11, inheriting basically all of that older phone’s strengths and weaknesses. However, because it's now much more expensive, the Xiaomi 12 Pro lost the value that made it such a good buy despite those issues. I've not had much time testing the standard Xiaomi 12 yet, so we'll see if it offers the superb bang-for-buck that is missing here. That said, the Xiaomi 12 Pro still offers superior value in some ways to the iPhone 13 Pro and Galaxy S22 Plus it's priced against. It charges way faster than either phone, and offers a big display that inherits the best features of both. (Just ignore how the speakers sound.) It's just a pity that this is another phone you won't be able to get in the U.S., despite Xiaomi giving the MSRP in dollars. I picture the ideal user of this phone as someone who loves watching video and playing games until their battery is completely drained, rather than a photography geek or someone chasing the ultimate performance per dollar.

The Xiaomi 12 Pro, starting at $999, is taking on the other flagship Android manufacturers on even ground and while that may be a slight misstep on the retail pricing front, the fact that it should typically be available for less means consumers will ultimately see it as the value brand. To be fair, the hardware matches up well with anyone else on the market — from its beautiful LTPO 120hz display to its trio of 50MP cameras capable of up to 8K or 4K HDR 10+ video recording and powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor. That’s before we get to its mind-bending 120W charging with the bundled charger and outstanding battery life. Xiaomi has even addressed software support with its three years of major OS updates and four years of security updates commitment. However, we still need to see how fast it manages to deliver those updates. MIUI is a more significant overlay than most, but it’s good to see that level of support.

The Xiaomi 12 Pro is not without its flaws. Perhaps most significant among those is the battery life, where key competitors have it beat. The lack of dust and water protection also raises eyebrows on a phone at this level. Top-tier chipsets tend to suffer under peak load, and so does the Snapdragon in the Xiaomi 12 Pro, but this one throttles especially aggressively. And for all its camera goodness, the missing autofocus on the ultrawide module and the relatively short reach of the tele limit its potential as a cameraphone. We understand that paying a little extra will get you more elsewhere, and we might argue that a more complete package at a price just a fraction higher would be the right way to go. However, paying as much as Xiaomi charges for this one comes with trade-offs that may or may not be justified depending on whom you ask. So while we wouldn't straight up recommend the 12 Pro, we'd say it's well worth considering - even more so if a discount of any sort comes its way at some point.

The phone retails for $999 USD, but this price will vary by region. That puts it in the same category as the Galaxy S22+, and between the two, I would rather have the Xiaomi 12 Pro. It has a top-tier camera, super-fast 120W charging, a crisp display, fantastic speakers, and decent software (really, you'll get used to it). The build quality is fantastic and it's hard to think of anything that's necessarily wrong with the phone. At the end of the day, it all comes down to if you like Xiaomi's software. MIUI stands out compared to the competition. It's smooth, fast, efficient, and looks good, but lacks some of the third-party support that skins like Pixel UI and One UI have. Whether this phone is for you really comes down to how much you value a more generic Android experience and how much you use social media apps that demand good selfies.

With a sharp design, premium build and absolutely gorgeous display, the 12 Pro is a true flagship phone – but one that makes a few missteps with its uncompromising approach to hardware. High internal temperatures hamper performance when gaming, and although its photos are on par with other top-end handsets, the choice of secondary lenses mean it isn’t quite as flexible as its periscope-packing rivals. Xiaomi has avoided prioritising specs above all else, and the 12 Pro is a better handset as a result, but it means that unless you’re seriously jazzed about the prospect of unmatched charging speeds, it does little to stand out against similarly-priced alternatives.

With its starting price of $999 for the 8GB/256GB version of the phone and considering its decidedly flagship features, the Xiaomi 12 Pro is up there with the very best flagships. It certainly has what it takes to challenge any of the top contenders in its category, and despite the high price tag, it surely feels like the phone is a good value for money. It's got everything a modern Android flagship should have: super-fast charging, great camera, and a feature-rich interface. Still, I'd have loved a slightly better battery life, more consistent image quality when using the different cameras, and finally - better cooling. The Google Pixel 6 Pro starts at $899 and is a nice, albeit slightly less feature-rich alternative that still offers excellent image quality and comparable battery life. If you want to go all out, you can certainly go for the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, which is a couple of hundred bucks more expensive, but you could also opt for the Galaxy S22 Plus, which is comparable in terms of pricing.

The Xiaomi 12 Pro is undoubtedly a champion when it comes to features and performance. With a great display, great speakers, and great cameras, there are only a few flaws in Xiaomi's formula. Performance throttling could probably be fine-tuned with a firmware update, and the smaller battery is easily balanced by the market's fastest charging technology. You will, however, have a hard time picking the Xiaomi 12 Pro out of a lineup unless you explicitly ask for this model. And unlike past phones, Xiaomi no longer has qualms in raising its flagships to flagship prices, as well. The Xiaomi 12 Pro starts at $999 with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, though there is an even higher configuration with 12GB of RAM. The Xiaomi 12, on the other hand, starts at $749 with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, while the "standard" Xiaomi 12X retails for $649 with the same memory configuration.

The phone retails for $999 USD, but this price will vary by region. That puts it in the same category as the Galaxy S22+, and between the two, I would rather have the Xiaomi 12 Pro. It has a top-tier camera, super-fast 120W charging, a crisp display, fantastic speakers, and decent software (really, you'll get used to it). The build quality is fantastic and it's hard to think of anything that's necessarily wrong with the phone. At the end of the day, it all comes down to if you like Xiaomi's software. MIUI stands out compared to the competition. It's smooth, fast, efficient, and looks good, but lacks some of the third-party support that skins like Pixel UI and One UI have. Whether this phone is for you really comes down to how much you value a more generic Android experience and how much you use social media apps that demand good selfies.

With a sharp design, premium build and absolutely gorgeous display, the 12 Pro is a true flagship phone – but one that makes a few missteps with its uncompromising approach to hardware. High internal temperatures hamper performance when gaming, and although its photos are on par with other top-end handsets, the choice of secondary lenses mean it isn’t quite as flexible as its periscope-packing rivals. Xiaomi has avoided prioritising specs above all else, and the 12 Pro is a better handset as a result, but it means that unless you’re seriously jazzed about the prospect of unmatched charging speeds, it does little to stand out against similarly-priced alternatives.

With its starting price of $999 for the 8GB/256GB version of the phone and considering its decidedly flagship features, the Xiaomi 12 Pro is up there with the very best flagships. It certainly has what it takes to challenge any of the top contenders in its category, and despite the high price tag, it surely feels like the phone is a good value for money. It's got everything a modern Android flagship should have: super-fast charging, great camera, and a feature-rich interface. Still, I'd have loved a slightly better battery life, more consistent image quality when using the different cameras, and finally - better cooling. The Google Pixel 6 Pro starts at $899 and is a nice, albeit slightly less feature-rich alternative that still offers excellent image quality and comparable battery life. If you want to go all out, you can certainly go for the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, which is a couple of hundred bucks more expensive, but you could also opt for the Galaxy S22 Plus, which is comparable in terms of pricing.

The Xiaomi 12 Pro is undoubtedly a champion when it comes to features and performance. With a great display, great speakers, and great cameras, there are only a few flaws in Xiaomi's formula. Performance throttling could probably be fine-tuned with a firmware update, and the smaller battery is easily balanced by the market's fastest charging technology. You will, however, have a hard time picking the Xiaomi 12 Pro out of a lineup unless you explicitly ask for this model. And unlike past phones, Xiaomi no longer has qualms in raising its flagships to flagship prices, as well. The Xiaomi 12 Pro starts at $999 with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, though there is an even higher configuration with 12GB of RAM. The Xiaomi 12, on the other hand, starts at $749 with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, while the "standard" Xiaomi 12X retails for $649 with the same memory configuration.

The mobile should also point out here that it is NOT warming up! Because I also heard this from the ready-made images given by the companies, if you do not have a product, DO NOT say you want it! It is not right to misinform the world. In fact, if I compare it to the Mi 10, the 12 Pro is cooler. I’m waiting for you to make a video where I will unlock the mobile bootloader to pass the ROM through Xiaomi.eu, but this will happen in the next few days as soon as I find some time. In the meantime, watch a video I prepared for you for the Xiaomi 12 Pro. Yes, I’m not talking, but I’m telling you why. I immediately hope you subscribe to my YouTube channel, click Like on the two videos and share them, so that the truth is learned everywhere! If you want to get the Xiaomi 12 Pro, definitely at a lower price than the one that will be released in Europe, when it is released, you can get it from GizTop as I did, of course WITHOUT a customs problem!

Xiaomi 12
Specifications

Average Score:
Flagship smartphones should be as large as possible - at least that is what many manufacturers seem to think. The Xiaomi 12 does exactly the opposite: at 6.28 inches, it is as compact as the Apple iPhone 13 but still delivers a performance worthy for a flagship. As our test shows, it also plays in the top league in terms of the rest of the equipment.

Like the larger Xiaomi 12 Pro, the 6.28-inch Xiaomi 12 both pleases and disappoints. Its compact dimensions will be a real plus point for many people. The cameras are good, and the macro mode is fun to use, although it's a shame it is so hidden away in the menu system. The top-end chipset, 120Hz screen refresh rate and fast charging are also very welcome. However, there's no IP rating for dust and water resistance, battery life is below par and there is a lot of bloatware. If you're looking for a smaller-format flagship-class phone, the Google Pixel 6 is worth considering, among others.

The Xiaomi 12 is the junior model of the Chinese manufacturer’s top-end 12 series, featuring the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset as the 12 Pro flagship phone. The 12 comes with a smaller display though, and there are also some important hardware differences in the camera setup. Like on the 12 Pro the Xiaomi 12’s primary camera has a 50MP resolution, but the pixels are distributed across a slightly smaller image sensor. The ultra-wide camera uses a 13MP sensor instead of the Pro’s 50MP and a 5MP macro with 50mm equivalent focal length takes the place of the Pro model’s 50MP 48mm variant.

The Xiaomi 12’s audio was quite similar to the 12 Pro’s performance, even though the 12 has stereo speakers, compared with the 12 Pro’s four-speaker setup. When it came to volume, the Xiaomi 12 actually received a higher score than the Pro version. But the Pro did better in other key areas like playback dynamics. In playback, the Xiaomi 12 scored well in the gaming use case. Playback and recording showed good wideness and few artifacts. Both playback and recording lacked bass for a premium-segment device. But overall, the Xiaomi 12 remains a steady performer with no big flaws and some very good points for all types of playback and recording scenarios.

The Xiaomi 12 is a compelling flagship smartphone in a number of ways. For starters, its new compact form factor will appeal to those who don’t want a huge handset and overall, the design looks and feels great. You also get a decent collection of high-end specs such as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, AMOLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate, and speedy 67W charging. It’s also got a solid main camera along with a good ultrawide, but few buyers will be excited by a telemacro lens. While there’s lots to like about the Xiaomi 12, it still has no waterproofing, battery life is nothing special, and MIUI continues to lag behind rivals. Considering the asking price here, it’s slightly tough for it to stand out compared to handsets like the Galaxy S22 and cheaper options like the Pixel 6.

The Xiaomi 12 is an attractive flagship phone that’s a little rough around the edges. While its small form, attractive design and fast charging ensure it plays well in the big leagues, its cameras, display and software experience are only ‘okay’. Given that this is a high-price flagship phone, we had hoped for better.

There are a few areas where the Xiaomi 12 could be improved. For instance, the battery life and charge time could be given a boost, Xiaomi could increase the camera's zoom and another point I would make is that while the design is very classy it risks getting a bit lost amongst the rest of the mid-range smartphone crowd. But even so, in comparison to other phones at this sort of price, the Xiaomi 12 is definitely one of the best because it doesn't sacrifice at all on hardware which means you'll still get fantastic performance, a stunning display and a good camera. Its stand out feature has to be its size, though. If you have small hands, or if you just prefer a more compact handset, this will be the best cheap phone for you right now. It's tiny!

A phone of two halves, the Xiaomi 12 isn’t a huge step-up from its predecessor. Despite the performance improvements, lavish design and superbly colour-accurate display, the Xiaomi 12 still has its drawbacks, and frustratingly these are things that could have been addressed following the launch of the Xiaomi 11 last year. The lack of a telephoto camera is a deal-breaker for some, and the fact that there’s no official IP68 rating is a bit of a bummer, too. Both of these omissions are simply too big to ignore. By all means, go for the Xiaomi 12 if you aren’t fussed about either of these missing features, but realistically you should be buying the Samsung Galaxy S22 instead.

So, we’re at the end of this comparison review and I really think we need to look at the price. Here in Malaysia, the prices are as below: I personally think that the Xiaomi 12 – the tiny one – is a good choice. At the price of RM2,999 (don’t buy the 128GB version please), I think it’s expensive, yes – but it’s a good compact phone. I should say – it’s also a phone that I’ll consider carrying in my pocket too. As for the Xiaomi 12 Pro, at RM3,899, I think it’s just way too expensive for what it has to offer. Despite having 50MP for all the camera sensors, other parts of the phone fell apart for me. The battery life, the reality of the charging speed, USB 2.0, that price tag – yeah I’ll rather get the Samsung Galaxy S22 or S22 Plus at that price point.

A few days ago, the Xiaomi company officially unveiled its series of smartphones, Xiaomi 12, which consists of three devices, the regular version Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi 12 Pro, and Xiaomi 12X. The Xiaomi 12 series phones are designed to enable users to enjoy the latest video shooting technologies and entertainment capabilities, providing the utmost sophistication through Xiaomi’s AI algorithms, the power of the main processor, and a comprehensive and sophisticated all-round experience.

When we first took the Xiaomi 12 in hand, we were really impressed. We instantly thought that this would be the compact flagship to recommend in 2022. A quick scroll through the specs sheet suggests exactly that. Bright and fast OLED, premium build, big battery, fast wired and wireless charging, dedicated stereo speakers and a triple-camera setup with a big main sensor. And then, of course, at the helm of it all - the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. Sadly, through the course of writing this review, we found out that most of these standout features come with caveats. The big battery fails to deliver satisfactory endurance, the dedicated stereo speakers are imbalanced, and the camera setup lacks proper zoom solution, nor does it have a dedicated telephoto camera. The SD8G1 implementation seems to be troublesome, too, as sustained performance isn't on par with other rivals running the same or comparable chipset. These drawbacks keep us from recommending the handset right away, yet they are not enough to dismiss the Xiaomi 12's strong points we truly liked.

The Xiaomi 12 packs in plenty of punch for a modestly-sized device, and while it looks to be an evident downgrade from the standards of the Pro, there’s still plenty to recommend here based on our earliest impressions, including the screen, performance, and fast-charging. If a smaller Android phone is on your wishlist, then this one might be worth considering along with the Asus Zenfone 8. Check back to see our full verdict on this handset, coming soon.

So, does the Xiaomi 12 deliver on being the everyday flagship? Almost. This is a great smartphone: the screen is gorgeous, it’s wicked fast, looks great, charges fast (and wirelessly) and has a nice camera system, too. It does come with some problems though, like the battery life, the curved display over a flat panel, the busy MIUI skin and the tendency to overheat under strenuous pressure. But for most users, these issues can be looked past in what is a brilliant Android blower that does it all at a competitive price.

It’s hard to find any fault with the Xiaomi 12. There were some decisions there that seemed like a downgrade from the Xiaomi Mi 11 but those were all reasonable compromises considering that it’s a middle child and they wanted to make it as practically compact as possible. If we had to nitpick, the lack of IP68 rating for water resistance and absence of expandable storage via microSD card slot are the two most noticeable shortcomings we could think of. Everything else is spot on. Xiaomi has been consistent that way — nothing overkill or over-the-top — just a good balance of hardware fit for a flagship phone and pretty compelling for its price point. And mind you, there’s at least a Php10k difference between the Xiaomi 12 and many other flagship phones of this caliber. If you want a better camera system, bigger display, and 120W HyperCharge, then there’s the Xiaomi 12 Pro for that. The Xiaomi 12 comes in three variants — 8GB+128GB, 8GB+256GB, 12GB+256GB. The recommended retail price starts from USD749.

Another year, another Xiaomi phone release that makes me wish it were easier to get these phones here in the U.S. Honestly, Xiaomi is likely the only brand that would make me switch away from Verizon just to be able to use these phones on a daily basis. The Xiaomi 12 not only confirmed my desire to see the company enter the western market, but it also made me re-think my idea of not using a compact flagship. I wouldn’t go for something like the smol Galaxy S22, but I am considering picking up the Xiaomi 12 for myself just to use with my Google Fi SIM so I can carry it around with me. Xiaomi has done a wonderful job over the years with its flagship devices, and that trend continues with the Xiaomi 12. If you’re in the market for a new flagship, don’t want (or need) a behemoth like the Galaxy S22 Ultra or iPhone 13 Pro Max, and can actually get your hands on the Xiaomi 12, then you should definitely consider this one.

I wouldn’t go for something like the smol Galaxy S22, but I am considering picking up the Xiaomi 12 for myself just to use with my Google Fi SIM so I can carry it around with me. Xiaomi has done a wonderful job over the years with its flagship devices, and that trend continues with the Xiaomi 12. If you’re in the market for a new flagship, don’t want (or need) a behemoth like the Galaxy S22 Ultra or iPhone 13 Pro Max, and can actually get your hands on the Xiaomi 12, then you should definitely consider this one.

The Motorola Edge S30 is the best and magnificent choice, definitely check it out.

The Xiaomi 12 smartphone is the younger sibling of the Xiaomi 12 Pro. Like other Xiaomi phones, the phone was also released in china around December 2021, and the rough estimated price is $580 (Rs 42,999 in India) Approx. However, when this phone will come outside of mainland China, there’s a high chance that the price will vary differently for each market. Apart from this, you are getting exceptional features that make your life easier and provide a next-level performance experience with the new 4nm – Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset. Besides this, you will attain an improved Adreno 730 GPU unit. However, the phone is not lacking in any way, and the 6.28-inches OLED panel grants impressive colors and saturation effects with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection. Moreover, the screen offers a 120Hz refresh rate and HDR 10+ certification with Dolby Vision support, making the overall viewing experience impressive. The camera department is not far behind as you will attain a flagship-level 50MP primary, 13MP ultrawide, and 5MP telephoto macro lens.

The Xiaomi 12X is a rather good-looking and conveniently compact smartphone offering plenty of power for comparatively little money. At the time of writing, it was Xiaomi's most affordable gateway to their premium series of smartphones. Let's take a look, shall we?

Xiaomi 12X Review 3 Months after release, I think it's better than the Xiaomi 12, and Xiaomi 12 Pro for most people! It's cheaper, great size. No overheating issues and the same build as the larger model. Xiaomi 12X NFC 5G Smartphone

The more I'm using the Xiaomi 12X, the more I'm appreciating the form factor. Thanks to its curved screen, it fits perfectly in the hand, even when using the transparent case that comes with it, and I absolutely love the fingerprint-rejecting etched glass back. I was even able to find remedy for the awful edge touch rejection I've experienced by decreasing the sensitivity in settings. It baffles me that the phone doesn't ship with that option enabled by default, as I haven't noticed any downsides like rejected intentional touches on the sides of the screen. Of course, most of these things can probably be said about regular Xiaomi 12 that comes in the same form factor but with a better processor, a newer Android version, and wireless charging, so this isn't a unique selling point. In fact, everything I really like about the 12X can also be found on the regular 12, which is arguably a better phone. My conviction that the 12X only exists to tempt you to get the 12 instead has just been strengthened this past month.

The Xiaomi 12X is a good overall device that will catch the eye of a few prospective phone buyers for a number of reasons. First, the device is on the smaller side compared to other flagship smartphones and despite its $649 price, it looks and feels like a well-made and premium device. While you aren’t getting the latest chip from Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 870 is still plenty powerful for everyday tasks. Plus you’re still getting a 120Hz AMOLED display, fast 67W charging and a set of cameras that works well in most situations. There are some downsides to the Xiaomi 12X like the lack of wireless charging, official waterproofing and MIUI won’t be to everyone’s tastes. If you want better cameras, look to the Pixel 6, otherwise the Realme GT 2 will be an excellent choice if your heart isn't set on a metal and glass design.

Rather not. The company is using the $650 12X to upsell you to the more expensive models, with some arbitrary limitations on the processor, wireless charging capabilities, and software update promises to serve as a reason to entice you to get the $750 Xiaomi 12 instead. If you don’t care for these or absolutely need to save that $100, then the Xiaomi 12X might be the top-of-the-line Xiaomi phone for you, though. Luckily for Xiaomi, the company is mostly catering towards markets that don’t offer the Google Pixel lineup, so the obvious conclusion — just get a Pixel 6 instead — might not be an option. Instead, the Xiaomi 12X should make you think really hard about what you value in a smartphone. Are you content with a petite, easy-to-hold smartphone with excellent battery life? Or would you rather pay just a little more for a phone that will offer software and security updates for the foreseeable future, if you've got your eyes set on a Xiaomi phone?

Obviously, there are better phones than the 12X, even if there is no match for its display. The Xiaomi 12X is a brand-new phone, and as it always happens, aging flagships are now cheaper and sometimes a preferable purchase over the 12X. Still, the Xiaomi 12X is an easily likable smartphone with a reasonable price in 2022 terms, and we think it has everything to become a best-seller. Our suggestion for you is to exhaust all options around the €650-€700 price range, weigh the pros and cons, and then proceed to buy what suits you best. We are sure you will like the Xiaomi 12X as we did if you decide to get it. We do recommend this phone even at this price, though we will do it even more passionately when it gets its first price cut.

Undoubtedly, the Xiaomi 12X is an excellent phone that brings a robust set of attributes, though it’s not on par with the latest gen chipset phones. But still, it will outperform the Pixel 6 series, and brings better processing result. The camera quality is enhanced with the AI software, while the photos and videos quality stays constant in each mode. Battery life might feel underwhelming for heavy usage. But overall the Xiaomi 12X is an astounding phone that offers an elegant design layout. However, for some reason, you didn’t like the phone, the Motorola Edge X30 is a decent alternative.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
Qualcomm Adreno 730: Graphics chip for smartphones and tablets that is integrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. Qualcomm claims that it is 30% faster than the Adreno 660 in the Snapdragon 888 SoC. For Android it should be one of the fastest graphics cards in late 2021.
Qualcomm Adreno 650: Graphics chip for smartphones and tablets that is integrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC. Qualcomm claims that it is 25% faster than the Adreno 640 in the Snapdragon 855 SoC and offers 50% more compute units (ALUs). For Android it should be one of the fastest graphics cards in 2020.
