120 hertz screens, 200 megapixel cameras and the most powerful processors. Xiaomi wants to ensure that its users have a high-end mobile experience, but without having to pay the 4-figure prices that are asked for these terminals. With the Xiaomi 12T and Xiaomi 12T Pro you can view content in HDR and take the best photos without having to mortgage your salary for a few months. And they are also pure power.
Quality is paid, but sometimes you pay more. Xiaomi, the first Chinese brand that managed to conquer the West with its smartphones, continues with its proposal to offer its customers the best on the market, but with a much more affordable price range than other brands. And we see this policy in models such as its new Xiaomi 12T and Xiaomi 12T Pro, which we are going to review in depth below:
Xiaomi 12T
A spectacular AMOLED
The screen is always the first thing that jumps out at you on a current smartphone, and little by little we have seen how the sizes and qualities of these have been increasing so much, that nowadays watching Netflix or YouTube content on the mobile is something usual . And in Xiaomi 12T it helps a lot to maintain that thanks to its spectacular 6.67-inch CrystalRED AMOLED screen, with a resolution of 1220p, 446 ppi and an AdaptiveSync panel capable of offering various screen refresh rates ranging from 30Hz to 120Hz , helping to maximize battery life by allowing automatic adjustment of refresh rates based on content.
But, in addition, the panel has TrueColor, is certified with HDR10 + for 4K content and comes with a fingerprint sensor under the screen that adds a more Premium touch in a design that comes in Black, Silver and Blue colors with Gorilla Glass 5 glass protection. on the front and anti-glare glass on the back. That plus dual Dolby Atmos speakers.
Charged in 19 minutes
We take a look inside its guts and find a proprietary MediaTek processor, the 5nm Dimensity 8100-Ultra with an updated GPU that gives it 30% more performance and power efficiency than its predecessor. To that we add two options in terms of 8GB of RAM + 128GB of internal space, or 8GB + 256GB . And with the MIUI 13 customization layer based on Android 12.
The terminal makes use of a 5,000mAh battery with 120W HyperCharge, which gives you up to 13.5 hours of screen time if you want to watch content. The best thing is that you can charge it to 100% in just 19 minutes, ideal if you are away from home.
Triple 108 MP camera

- 108MP professional grade wide angle camera

- 2MP macro camera
The main camera offers OIS technology for fast, stable and clean shots. The mobile includes a night mode and ultra night video , capable of offering sharp and bright images in extremely low light conditions, which makes them ideal for partying at night.
Xiaomi 12T Pro
Dolby Vision and anti-eye strain
An expanded and improved edition, that is how we could define the Xiaomi 12T Pro, since it has the same elements as the 12T, but expanded. To begin with, the base screen is the same, a 6.67-inch CrystalRED AMOLED panel, with a resolution of 1220p, 446 ppi and an AdaptiveSync panel capable of offering various screen refresh rates ranging from 30Hz to 120Hz, helping to maximize battery life by allowing automatic adjustment of refresh rates based on content.
In addition, the panel has TrueColor, is certified with HDR10 + for 4K content and comes with a fingerprint sensor under the screen that adds a more Premium touch in a design that comes in Black, Silver and Blue colors with Gorilla Glass 5 protection on the inside. front and anti-glare glass on the back. That plus dual Dolby Atmos speakers.
How is it different? In that Xiaomi 12T Pro has support for Dolby Vision and adaptive HDR , which translates into more vivid colors and higher contrast. Plus an adaptive reading mode and SGS certification to reduce eyestrain by reducing the amount of blue light emitted for eye comfort during extended periods of use. Add to that a frosted, curved back that ensures reduced fingerprints on the rear panel, along with a compact feel in the hand.
Snapdragon powerhouse with up to 12GB RAM
Inside we do find differences, since the Xiaomi 12T Pro uses the most powerful Android processor of the moment as its ‘heart’: the 4nm TSMC Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 . This chipset, the same one that all the 2022 range tops mount, improves performance and reduces the power consumption of both the CPU and the GPU. The mobile equips a thermal system that includes a 65% larger vapor chamber and a 125% larger thermal material coverage than Xiaomi 11T Pro, which improves heat dissipation.
And so that you can choose, Xiaomi offers you three variants: 8GB + 128GB, 8GB + 256GB and up to 12GB + 256GB. Xiaomi 12T Pro has the best battery life among Xiaomi flagship devices, mounting a 5,000mAh battery that provides up to 13.5 hours of screen time, with 120W HyperCharge technology to charge to 100% in just 19 minutes. .
200 megapixel triple camera
Another section in which the Pro model shines is in the camera, since we also have a triple module, but with a 200 megapixel main camera with 2x zoom on the sensor, which takes full advantage of the capabilities of the large size of the sensor. 1/1.22″ for ideal portraits. With the combinations of this large sensor, along with the 16-in-1 2.56μm super pixels, 8P lens, OIS and Xiaomi’s night mode, users are able to take bright and clean photos even in extreme low light conditions. brightness.
