Reviewing the Xiaomi 12 Pro (Global Version), a premium flagship smartphone rivalling Samsung’s Galaxy S22 Ultra as one of the best Androids of 2022, including a full camera test, gaming performance and more. I’ve been using the Xiaomi 12 Pro as my full-time mobile and enjoyed almost every aspect of it, except for one crucial issue.
That camera tech is among the greatest right now, easily rivalling Samsung and Apple smartphones. You can capture attractive, detail packed photos and video at any time of day, albeit with less natural colours than the Pixel 6 Pro and other rivals. You can even shoot the moon, if that’s your bag.
Performance is top notch thanks to the Xiaomi 12 Pro’s ultra-fast Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset and effective cooling system. Genshin Impact and other games play on top detail settings without a struggle, even for the duration. Unfortunately battery life is the Achilles Heel here. Vs the Pixel 6 Pro and Oppo Find X5 Pro, this phone struggles to last a full day.
So that’s my verdict on the Xiaomi 12 Pro, check out my unboxing of the global version of the regular flagship device, with a side-by-side camera, gaming and specs comparison vs the Pro.
