Xiaomi 12X Specs: with Snapdragon 870 and AMOLED

After many months of speculation and leaks, Xiaomi has officially unveiled its Xiaomi 12 series. At this stage, the company presented the Xiaomi 12, the Xiaomi 12 Pro, and Xiaomi 12X. The vanilla variant comes to offer a true flagship performance while being more affordable than the Pro. The Pro will be Xiaomi’s true beast for all those who care for performance.

Meanwhile, the company has also introduced the Xiaomi 12X which comes as a cost-effective device with some similarities with the standard flagships, but with a little less performance – It’s still better than most mid-range smartphone in the market. Without further ado, let’s see what these 12X brings to the table.

Xiaomi 12X: A Beastly Mid-Range Smartphone

The Xiaomi 12X is the most affordable version of the trio, but that yet brings the same design as the others. It’s also the smallest model with a 6.28-inch AMOLED screen with Full HD+ resolution with a 120 Hz refresh rate.

Under the hood, the handset packs the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC. It has up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of Internal Storage. The Xiaomi 12X also draws its powers from a 4,500 mAh battery with 67 W wired charging support.

As for optics, the Xiaomi 12X packs a 50 MP Sony IMX766 sensor with OIS, a 13 MP Ultrawide camera, and a 5 MP tele-macro camera. For selfies, the device comes with a 20 MP snapper.

The device also runs MIUI 13 with Android 12.
