Xiaomi 12T Pro

Classic design. Solid and well put together.

Battery life is solid but could be a bit better.

Honestly, it's hard to find any serious omissions or faults with the Xiaomi 12T Pro. A proper ingress protection rating would have been great, and so would wireless charging. The same goes for a telephoto camera and perhaps some expandable storage. At...

Superb performance ; Dazzling 120Hz AMOLED display ; Competitive price ; Incredible battery life ; 200MP wide camera is crazy…

…but not anything special ; Weak supporting cameras ; Bland design

There’s little else you could want from a high-end smartphone that Xiaomi 12T Pro doesn’t offer. From the dazzling 6.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED display and strong battery life to the powerful Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip and 200MP camera, it’s a flagship at an...

Fast performance for a great price ; Almost no throttling makes this great for gaming ; Solid battery life ; 120W charging is much faster than rivals

Sub-par ultra-wide camera, no telephoto shooter ; MIUI aggressively kills background apps, messes with push notifications ; No wireless charging

Amazing 200 megapixel camera, 120 watt fast charging, one of the fastest mobile processors on the market delivers top performance.

The phone has to make do with IP53 certification and Gorilla Glass 5 screen protection to keep the price down. The screen isn't the brightest either. Still, the phone is considerably more expensive than its predecessor.

It is very natural to compare the Xiaomi 12T Pro with the OnePlus 10T. Both mobiles can be said to be downgraded upgrades compared to the respective top models, both come with the fastest Qualcomm processor, Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, and the two mobiles...

If it had wireless charging and a proper telephoto camera, then Xiaomi 12T Pro would be an even stronger competitor to the Pixel 7 or Galaxy S22. Stay tuned for our full rated review.

Big, bright screen looks clear outdoors ; Powerful Snapdragon processor ; Very fast charging

Unremarkable secondary cameras ; Disappointing low-light stills performance at this level ; Overheats under prolonged stress ; A design downgrade from 2021’s version

The Xiaomi 12T Pro is big, powerful and ready to entertain, but some 2022 design downgrades, overheating issues and an over-reliance on an impressive-sounding-but-not-quite-killer 200-megapixel camera mean it’s not the best buy at £700. However,...

Super fast to charge ; 200MP is fun to play with ; Powerful chipset

Entry price hike ; Missing features from predecessor ; A few questionable design decisions

In most departments, the Xiaomi 12T Pro is either an incremental or a negligible upgrade over the 11T Pro. It has a few key features that may appeal to you, such as its powerful chipset and 200MP camera, but a few downgrades over the Mi 11T Pro might...

Top tier performance ; Two day battery ; Super fast charging ; 200MP camera seems great on first impressions

MIUI 13 software is more convoluted than ever ; Second and third cameras aren't all that impressive

On the whole, the first experience of looking at and using the Xiaomi 12T is very much like using a lot of other Android phones. Except when you enable the 200-megapixel camera mode in good daylight and then see the sharpness on offer.
