Xiaomi 12 Specs and Price

 

Following months of leaks and rumors, the Xiaomi’s 12 series is finally official with three entries – Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi 12 Pro and Xiaomi 12X The vanilla model comes as a compact phone with its 6.28-inch screen while still fitting the very best Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip. The 12 Pro features a 6.73-inches display and also boasts the same SoC but it also adds an LTPO AMOLED display, bigger battery, faster charging and more capable camera hardware.

Xiaomi 12 launched

Xiaomi 12 brings the smallest screen on a Xiaomi flagship since the Xiaomi Mi 8 days which is a welcome move for compact flagship enthusiasts. The Samsung-made 6.28-inch AMOLED panel supports FHD+ resolution and refreshes at up to 120Hz. There’s an under-display fingerprint scanner while Corning’s Gorilla Glass Victus is here to fend of scratches.

Xiaomi 12 brings the familiar 50MP Sony IMX 766 sensor found in several of the 2021 crop of flagships from major Android makers. It’s a 1/1.56” size with 2.0μm large pixels and OIS. The two auxiliary sensors are a 13MP ultrawide snapper and a 50mm equivalent 5MP tele-macro cam.

Xiaomi engineers managed to shrink the vanilla 12’s motherboard while still fitting an adequately sized cooling pad and all other key components. The smaller Xiaomi 12 gets a 4,500 mAh battery with 67W wired fast charging, 50W wireless charging and 10W reverse wireless top-ups. Xiaomi 12 series phones will ship with the brand new MIUI 13.
