Launched in China earlier this year, the Xiaomi 12 Series has now officially launched worldwide, which means it will soon appear in a store near you.




There are three devices in the family, and the Xiaomi 12 Ultra is still a rumor.


The Xiaomi 12 Pro is a top-of-the-line device, powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and has a large 6.73-inch LTPO AMOLED display. There are three cameras on the back, each with 50 megapixels, and it promises to give you a photographic experience again.


In our review of the Xiaomi 12 Pro, we concluded that "whether you're shooting in good light, in harsh lighting, or in poor lighting conditions, the Xiaomi 12 Pro rarely impresses," which is really very commendable because there are no tricks. .

But the battery is surprisingly almost the same size, 4500mAh, even with 67W charging.


Then you have the Xiaomi 12X. It's a unique sibling, powered by the Snapdragon 870. It's a slightly older piece of basic hardware, essentially packaged in the same design as the Xiaomi 12, but lacks some key features. do. name the category "flagship".
