Xiaomi has finally lifted the veil on its two new high-end smartphones: the Xiaomi 12T and the 12T Pro. The latter represent the evolution of the 12 range and want to bet on both their power and their photo part.
Xiaomi wants to strike a blow with its two new smartphones: the Xiaomi 12T and 12T Pro. As their name suggests, these are the evolution of the 12 range released a few months ago. The goal is to compete with the market leaders with slightly cheaper products. The focus is mainly on power and photo.
The Xiaomi 12T Pro is the new king from the range. It embeds a technical sheet that makes you want. The Chinese brand has taken care to equip its terminal with the latest components and its recent innovations in terms of fast charging.

The Xiaomi 12T Pro, the new king of photography?
The Xiaomi 12T Pro has a large flat 6.67-inch AMOLED panel with a definition of 2712 x 1220 pixels. It adopts an adaptive refresh rate up to 120 Hz. Inside the smartphone, we find a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, is the most powerful SoC on the market today. This makes the product very interesting for performance enthusiasts.

The 12T Pro has a 5000 mAh battery, but also and above all fast charging at 120 Watts (charger included). It is theoretically possible to fully recharge it in less than twenty minutes. A real asset.
But it is on the photo that the Xiaomi 12T Pro wants to hit hard. It offers a module consisting of three sensors, an 8 megapixel ultra wide angle (f / 2.2), a 2 megapixel (f / 2.4) macro sensor but also and especially a 200 megapixel wide-angle sensor (f / 1.6). This is a Samsung ISOCELL HP1, already used on the Moto Edge 30 Ultra, which wants to appeal to photo enthusiasts. It remains to be seen whether the software processing will be up to the task, as big numbers aren’t everything.
The 12T Pro takes the design of the 12 range and is sold in three colors: blue, black and silver. It is intended to be relatively imposing with dimensions of 163.1 x 75.9 x 8.6 mm and its 205 grams. A beautiful baby. It has Android 12 with MIUI 13 overlay. It will be available on October 13 at a price of 799 euros (8 GB of RAM / 256 GB of storage).
The Xiaomi 12T, the same with a less efficient sensor
The Xiaomi 12T, presented at the same time, embarks the same characteristics as its big brother. However, it “only” has a 108 megapixel (f/1.7) main sensor, which is already beefy, and a MediaTek Dimensity 8100 Ultra processor. It will be available the same day at 649 euros (8 GB of RAM / 256 GB of storage)
Two phones that therefore want to attack the competition head-on by offering an ultra-inflated technical sheet. It only remains to determine if these are good products. We will make sure of this during the tests.
