Xiaomi 12 Pro

Overview

The Xiaomi 12 Pro is one of the most balanced phones around, and the fact that it costs just shy of $1,000 means it undercuts the best from Apple, Oppo, and Samsung. It misses out on a good camera zoom, which is the only real drawback to an otherwise great package, which combines a refined design that keeps fingerprints at bay, class-leading fast-charging, a zingy screen, and stacks of power.

The Xiaomi 12 Pro is a fine flagship phone, then, with a few flaws that are cast in a rather unforgiving light by some newly premium pricing.

The Xiaomi 12 Pro has an awful lot going for it, with a sleek design, fast charging, and decent camera - but bad battery and so-so software hold it back from true greatness.

With the Xiaomi 12 Pro, Xiaomi is ready to take on the Galaxy S22 Plus and iPhone 13 Pro. The phone gains ground on its rivals by offering some notably better display and charging specs for the same price, but photo and audio quality don’t measure up.

The Xiaomi 12 Pro is undoubtedly a champion when it comes to features and performance. With a great display, great speakers, and great cameras, there are only a few flaws in Xiaomi's formula. Performance throttling could probably be fine-tuned with a firmware update, and the smaller battery is easily balanced by the market's fastest charging technology.
