Editorial report
Xiaomi 12 technical sheet
The Xiaomi 12 suits anyone looking for a compact phone with a high-resolution display, powerful hardware, and fast charging, along with a main camera that has optical stabilization. Its trade-off is the camera’s f/1.9 aperture, which is less favorable than that of most phones of its time. The 4500 mAh battery has typical capacity, so it is not a distinguishing reason to choose this phone over its contemporaries.
The 6.28-inch AMOLED display has a density of 419 ppi, among the best, and 1100-nit brightness, better than most phones launched around the same time. At 180 g, the phone is lighter than most, and its 89.2% screen-to-body ratio is among the best. Its 120 Hz refresh rate is typical for phones of its time. Overall, its design and display stand among the best.
The 12 GB RAM and 256 GB storage exceed what most phones of its time offer in both respects; the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 records 985,115 points in AnTuTu. The camera stands among the best: its 1/1.56-inch main sensor is larger than most, it records video up to 8K at 24 fps, and it has optical stabilization. The f/1.9 aperture is its comparative weakness. The 50 W wireless charging is among the best, while 67 W wired charging is better than most. Connectivity is also better than most phones of its time. With a NeoScore of 7.6, the Xiaomi 12 is a well-rounded pick for anyone prioritizing the display, hardware, and charging.
