Xiaomi 12T Pro

“The Xiaomi 12T Pro is a powerful high-end smartphone with an interesting strength-weakness profile. On the one hand, the T-model features sensible improvements compared to the Xiaomi 12 Pro, such as a new 200 MP sensor from Samsung, an efficient Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 and eSIM support. On the other hand, the RRP is lower than that of the manufacturer's flagship series and the cooling is much better, which results in more consistent performance values. However, users looking for something for gaming will not be happy with the Xiaomi 12T Pro despite the strong SoC - we recommend taking a look at the Asus ROG Phone 6.”

“The Xiaomi 12T Pro is a very solid smartphone that does a lot of things well. It's not outstandingly great at anything (aside from how fast it charges), but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Earth-shattering 'this changes everything' features come with risks, while the 12T Pro's formula is more about packing a lot of things that are proven to work into a product that's cheaper than all-out flagships while still coming with a lot of things people expect from a high-end offering.”

“In a world of ever-increasing flagship prices, product lines like the Xiaomi T series are truly a great sight to behold. They prove that the flagship killer concept is alive and well and arguably now better than ever in its value proposition. The Xiaomi 12T Pro is an incredibly well-rounded device. It has many bells and whistles to entice prospective buyers and hits particularly hard in a few key areas. The 6.67-inch, 120Hz, 12-bit CrystalRes AMOLED display is nothing short of gorgeous in person. It delivers great brightness and contrast, perfect colors with lots of customizability and even has HD10+ and Dolby Vision certification to take full advantage of that 12-bit color depth. The excellent stereo speaker setup, with Harman Kardon, tuning and Dolby Atmos tech and equalizers, completes the awesome multimedia experience on the Xiaomi 12T Pro.”

“If it weren’t for the Edge 30 Ultra, which has better specs but is only slightly more expensive, the Xiaomi 12T Pro would be relatively easy to recommend. As it is, most people are better off with Motorola’s phone.”
