The Xiaomi 12 is among the company’s most small smartphones to date. This phone won’t make your palm or wrist sore with its 152.7 x 69.9 x 8.1mm dimensions and 180g weight. The curved-edge display is the first feature that makes the phone feel comfortable in your hand. The second feature is the device’s back glass, which has a pleasant and smooth feel. There is also an IR Blaster. However, it would help if you had compatible devices to use the phone as a remote control for your TV or smart home features.

DISPLAY

The Xiaomi 12’s screen is much smaller than expected from the brand, at 6.28 inches across the diagonal. It uses an AMOLED display and excellent contrast, and the colours seem brilliant. The display updates at 120Hz, or 120 times per second, making motion—whether from gaming or just browsing through social media—appear seamless. Xiaomi also says that the display supports 68 billion colours, Dolby Vision, and HDR10+, but if all you’re doing is watching a 90s comedy over unstable 4G, you definitely won’t notice these capabilities.

PLATFORM AND MEMORY

The Xiaomi 12 has the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 CPU to power the phone’s activities. In other words, the phone provides a  smooth gaming experience with few delays and speedy load times. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1  also allows the phone to handle multitasking effectively. The phone is available with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. Xiaomi’s derivative of Android, MIUI, which is this time built atop Android 12, is included.

The customization features are excellent, and you can choose from various always-on display themes and pre-installed wallpapers.

MAIN CAMERA

The Xiaomi 12 boasts three cameras on the back: a 50MP primary camera with an f/1.9 aperture, a 13MP ultra-wide camera, and a 5MP telephoto camera. To put things in perspective, it is the same as the Mi 11, but for the 50MP camera that has replaced the 108MP one on that device. Xiaomi decided to get off its high-res high horse. The primary camera produces good-looking images with vivid colours, strong contrast, and great detail. A 32MP f/2.5 front-facing camera is available for taking selfies. You may shoot “regular” films in 8K at 24 or 4K at 60 frames per second with additional features like HDR, stabilization, digital bokeh, or basic colour filters on top. Additionally, there is slow-mo, which can only be recorded at a rather sluggish 1920 frames per second (fps).

BATTERY

Given how many functions are sapping its limited capacity, the Xiaomi 12 has an amazing endurance level. The phone’s 4,500mAh battery is more than enough. If you use a cable charger, charging is done at 67W, which is wonderful and quick. Using a decent charger, you can charge the device from empty to full in less than 40 minutes. Additionally, 50W wireless charging is also available and quick, which is significant given that most companies don’t provide cable-free powering as quickly as its wired counterpart.
