Xiaomi 12 Pro Review: Design
The new color scheme does look more refreshing, but the overall design really doesn’t have as much personality as the Mi 11. I don’t mean to say that the Xiaomi 12 Pro is ugly, it’s actually quite beautiful. It just lacks the kind of recognition that makes it easy to tell that it’s Xiaomi’s latest flagship. The Xiaomi 12 Pro has an improved frame design. Because of the more rounded frame and back curvature, plus the smaller size, it feels great to hold. NFC, IR blaster and X-axis linear motor are not missing either. Looking good, feeling good in the hand and full of features, I think the Xiaomi 12 Pro has done well enough in terms of design.
Xiaomi 12 Pro Review: Display
We all know that Mi 11 comes with a very good screen. the screen of Xiaomi 12 Pro is upgraded on top of that. Not only does it keep the 1440P resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, but it uses Samsung’s E5 material. Plus, Micro-Lens technology enables the Xiaomi 12 Pro to be more power-saving. Speaking of efficiency, Mi 12 Pro has another trick: the second generation LTPO technology.
Xiaomi 12 Pro Review: Performance & Gaming
We should all know very well how the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is performing this year. So can Xiaomi tame this fire dragon? I must complain, this time Xiaomi has added Speed mode option in Developer options. If you want to play the game with the highest quality performance at full power, you need to turn on this option. Then turn on Performance mode, and then go to the game mode to turn on High quality. Antutu Bench scores are close to a million, 3DMARK 9840, Geekbench 5 single-core 1154, multi-core 3535. As much as we wanted to test the 3DMARK Stress Test, even with both Performance mode and Speed mode turned off, the Xiaomi 12 Pro was unable to complete the test in an indoor environment with a room temperature of 21 degrees Celsius. The body temperature at this point was around 52 degrees Celsius. This means that Xiaomi is not able to suppress the heat of this chip, and the temperature control is very strict.
Xiaomi 12 Pro Review: Cameras
The Xiaomi 12 Pro no longer uses Samsung’s sensor for its main camera but moves back to Sony’s latest 50MP IMX707 sensor.This time the 12 Pro is a change from its previous tuning style, the colors are more intense and the contrast is higher than before. And like other brands, the sharpening algorithm has been enhanced. Yes, Xiaomi has finally learned to please the user in terms of color. The photos are finally not very bland. At night, the performance is similar to Mi 11 Ultra most of the time. The main improvement is in color reproduction. If the environment is dark, Mi 11 Ultra photos will be greenish, while Xiaomi 12 Pro will not. And the Night View mode algorithm has been greatly improved. The night mode wait time has been drastically reduced and the benefit is that the photos don’t get blurry. If you zoom in on a Mi 11 Ultra photo, you’ll see that 5 seconds of night mode has caused the photo to become blurry. And turning back to auto mode will also trigger the night view algorithm.
Xiaomi 12 Pro Review: Charging
This time Xiaomi launched the Surge P1 chip and first time equipped on Xiaomi 12 Pro. This is a charging chip that allows the phone to do 120W charging with a single cell. Previously, 120W charging could only exist in dual-cell phones, so the battery capacity of phones with 120W charging has not been able to break through 4500mAh. The 4600mAh Xiaomi 12 Pro proves that Xiaomi is ahead of the game when it comes to charging. Wireless charging can only do 50w for some reason, you can watch our MIX 4 Review for more details. of course, Xiaomi knows that 120W chargers are expensive, so they are included in the box.
