A Bold Phone?: Xiaomi 12T Pro Review

Blazing fast performance! Huge camera specs! The BOLD Xiaomi 12T Pro represents both great value and some missed opportunities--so is it the right phone for you?

In this Xiaomi 12T Pro review I go over the potential overheating issues with its very fast Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 processor, its very good--but not quite great screen, perfectly acceptable speakers, promising 200mp camera (hopefully), decent battery life, and whether the 12T Pro 5g will work on US networks.

The 12T Pro Xiaomi is far from your average 2022 smart phone. I did enjoy testing it, but I do hope that some of the bugs I experienced and camera issues are sorted out quickly. Honestly though, the 12T Pro Xiaomi is such a fantastic value at under $600 USD, that I think most users can deal with these issues (if they experience them at all), the only users who might want to avoid it in favor of something like the OnePlus 10T would be serious gamers that specifically play demanding games, or users who want to film a lot of 4K or 8K video outdoors in the heat. This phone just is not able to keep that blazing performance in check when under serious stress and, at least at the time of recording, it will overheat. In this 12T Pro Xiaomi review I did run 3D Mark Wildlife Extreme as well as Geekbench and the CPU Throttling Test--short term 12T Pro 5G performance is wonderful . . . . sustained performance is a different story.

Just sharing my experience - I tested the displayed 12T Pro model in a Mi store here in the Philippines. Installed 3DMark and Geekbench (can't find Antutu in Play Store). Was able to finish 3DMark Wild Life Extreme at 16FPS, and maxed out result the standard Wild Life test. Geekbench just a little higher than Poco F4 GT (can't remember exact numbers), but none of the tests crashed, though I only ran them once. There's noticeable heating of the body after each test.

Can't comment on camera since it's inside the store so there's really no other environment to test.

This device is a real monster absolutely there no any comments in this spec along with price tag, i seek too much in market and never find such a deal ! It is beast for the year !

Performed really well in golden reviewer's gaming test

I really want to know which is better the samsung s22+ or the xiaomi 12t pro

Just use a phone cooler to help with the overheating and it simply works well. Also haven't experienced the bugs you experienced so it was probably patched when I got mine. MY main complaint is this phone not having mhl since I like to use my phone as a gaming emulation machine attached to a tv and controller but I was able to solve that issue with a displaylink dock which I already had and didn't know the feature existed. Now I'm just waiting for the newer Miui 14 to be available to see if there will be more improvements on the software side of this phone. To be honest I've used redmi phones for a long time and I didn't have any issues with them or experienced any major bugs that I would have remembered.

3:42 I am facing this WiFi drop issue in my Poco F4 as well and because of it, now I have keep the mobile data off. I like to keep the mobile data ON so that I don't miss any important chat notifications in case my WiFi goes down.

[kazemtaher]

I want to download the Gcam app and I don't know how. Do you have a video about that?
Mobile is 12T Pro

[prozak]

Thanks for the review.
Any eyes strain or sort of discomfort while you were using that phone? My eyes are extremely sensitive and this issue is a real deal breaker when considering any smartphone for purchase...

As much as I love these Xiaomi phones (current owner of 2 generations of redmi series phones), I am getting tired of MIUI. The never ending bugs, glitches, crashes and overall OS instability is slowly getting on my nerves. I still admire their phones because of the value but it's just that MIUI is very off putting.

[colmankiwale]

Which should i buy between redmi note 11 pro plus or 12T Pro? the earlier being cheaper is the 12T worth the extra cash?

Still have an ads randomly appear when using cleaner or when watching video in mi videos? The random ads are super annoying in any xiaomi phones.

Can you help me who is better xiaomi 12t or oneplus 10r or is there a better option

[TechNomadUK]

The Xiaomi 12T Pro was on my crosshair few days ago. But I couldn't make up my mind until I bought the Poco F4. Since you had all of these phones which one has a natural-looking skin tones, better dynamic range and a better audio pickup using the selfie camera: OneOlus 10T, Xiaomi 12T Pro or a Poco F4?

[flashpointgaming]

Seems like some bugs are in all Xiaomi phones...even my Poco F3 does that screen freeze glitch on YouTube

[OSSAMq]

Great review bro but, how much screen on time you were getting?

[Sosoismyname]

A minor issue here. When using WeChat. I can't hold to talk. It will automatically move to delete without me moving an inch of my finger. Anyone facing this kind of wechat issue using xiao mi 12t pro?

nice fucking timing (sorry for swearing)
