Xiaomi 12 Pro
The Xiaomi 12 Pro is the new flagship smartphone in the range. Equipped with the currently fastest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, the Xiaomi 12 Pro promises a lot of performance in gaming and in everyday life.

Xiaomi attaches great importance to the camera equipment. The triple camera on the back uses a 50 MP Sony IMX707 sensor, which captures impressive images of the highest quality day and night. A 50 MP ultra wide-angle camera and a 50 MP telephoto zoom camera complete the camera equipment. There are also many AI gimmicks that further improve the camera experience.

Xiaomi 12
The Xiaomi 12 is cheaper and slightly different in terms of features, between the 12 Pro and the 12X. A high-resolution 120 Hz AMOLED display has also been installed, which, however, is somewhat more compact with a 6,28 inch diagonal. This also makes the smartphone more compact and handy overall.
