Xiaomi 12 (pro)
in China, Xiaomi has launched the Xiaomi 12 series. The new flagships will probably only come to the Netherlands in the first months of 2022, but we will already discuss the most important features.
Before discussing the differences with the Pro version, let’s take a look at the Xiaomi 12. The housing of the Xiaomi 12 is made of glass and aluminum. Corning Gorilla Glass Victus is provided on both the front and back and it protects the smartphone against drops and scratches. The stereo speakers of this phone were made in collaboration with the audio technology company Harman Kardon.
Smaller screen, powerful fast charger
The Xiaomi 12 has a 6.28-inch AMOLED screen, compared to the 6.81-inch panel of the Xiaomi Mi 11. The new screen has a 120Hz refresh rate and supports HDR10+ content. Furthermore, the brightness is lower at 1100 nits, compared to 1500 nits on the Xiaomi Mi 11.
The absolute engine of this phone is Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, and you can read all the details about this chipset in this article. The Xiaomi 12 is also available in different storage variants: 8 GB / 128 GB, 8 GB / 256 GB and 12 GB / 256 GB. It is not yet known which of these models will eventually be available with us.
The Xiaomi 12 also has a 4,500 mAh battery and works with a 67W fast charger. The device can also charge wirelessly with 50W. It works on MIUI 13, the new software shell based on Android 12. Xiaomi already announced some MIUI 13 functions this week.

No wide-angle camera, flash under the screen
Xiaomi’s flagship has three camera lenses on the rear: a 50MP main camera, a telephoto camera that is good for 3x optical zoom and a macro camera. The phone comes without a wide angle lens. On the front is a 32 MP selfie camera in a screen notch in the middle. It is striking that Xiaomi comes out with a flash under the screen that should support the selfie camera.
Xiaomi 12 Pro
At the time of writing, Xiaomi is still discussing the Pro version at its launch event.
Prices and availability
The Xiaomi 12 will only be released in China for the time being, but we expect to welcome it in the Netherlands and Belgium in the first month of 2022. The device comes in a blue, green, pink and black hue. It remains to be seen which colors will be available with us.
If we convert the price and apply VAT, we discover that the phone costs at least 620 euros, that is the model with 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage.
