Xiaomi 12 and its Pro sibling come armed with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, upgraded cameras, blazing-fast charging, and terrific price tags in tow.
Xiaomi has just introduced two high-end smartphones that draw power from Qualcomm’s latest and greatest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, setting the ball rolling for 2022 Android flagships. Say hello to the Xiaomi 12 and its Pro sibling. The two phones are packed to the gills with top-of-the-line hardware, and despite the Pro model winning the specs race, the vanilla Xiaomi 12 is the more interesting package.
The imaging department includes an optically stabilized 50-megapixel main snapper, a 13-megapixel sensor for wide-angle photography, and a modest 5-megapixel lens for macro shooting. Camera tricks include support for 8K HDR10 video capture at 24 fps and up to 960 fps slo-mo video recording. No fancy zoom camera though Coming to the Xiaomi 12 Pro, it ups the ante with a 6.7-inch 2K display offering a variable refresh rate of up to 120Hz and an impressive 1,500 nits of peak brightness. MIUI 13 handles things on the software side, while Wi-Fi 6E, 5G, and Bluetooth v5.2 round up the connectivity package. The memory configurations on the table are the same as the standard Xiaomi 12, but things truly take the upgrade route in the camera and battery departments.
A 4,600mAh battery with a single-cell design runs the show, while its fast charging capabilities are supported by the in-house Surge P1 chip. The Xiaomi 12 Pro supports an impressive 120W wired fast charging, 50W wireless charging, and 10W reverse wireless charging. Color options that are up for grabs are black, blue, purple, and green vegan leather.
