Editorial report

Xiaomi 12S Pro 8 GB / 128 GB / China technical sheet

The Xiaomi 12S Pro suits buyers looking for a premium phone with a standout display, versatile cameras, and fast charging. Its main drawback is weight: at 204 g, it is heavier than most phones of its time.

The 6.73″ LTPO AMOLED display reaches 521 ppi and 1500 nits peak brightness; both density and brightness are among the highest of phones launched around the same time. The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 puts its performance above most phones from that period. This configuration pairs 8 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage, and the phone is also sold in configurations up to 12 GB / 512 GB.

For photography, the main camera has a 1/1.28″ sensor, among the largest of its time, and optical image stabilization. The telephoto camera provides 2x optical zoom, among the longest ranges offered then. However, the main camera’s f/1.9 aperture is worse than most phones of its time. The 4600 mAh battery supports 120 W wired and 50 W wireless charging, both among the highest figures of the period. With a NeoScore of 8.0, it is a particularly capable choice for buyers who prioritize the display, cameras, and charging.
