Xiaomi 12T Pro Review: Affordable Flagship with a Brand New 200Mp Camera

Xiaomi 12T Pro Intro

The Xiaomi 12T Pro came out just in time for the 2022 winter holiday season and it is an impressive piece of kit with the latest powerful Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor and a brand new 200 megapixel camera. Not only that, the base model of this phone comes with 256GB of storage, double what you get on most other devices.

And in a typical Xiaomi fashion, all of that goodness comes at a price that undercuts the competition big time!

The 12T Pro starting price is around £700 in the UK and 800 euro in continental Europe, which is around 15% cheaper than the already affordable Pixel 7 Pro, and is literally around half the price of an iPhone 14 Pro Max. The 12T Pro is actually cheaper than last year's base model iPhone 13, which is quite the achievement, especially considering the growing prices recently.

However, there are some pitfalls you should know about, so read on as we dive deeper in our Xiaomi 12T Pro review.

Xiaomi 12T Pro Unboxing

The Xiaomi 12T Pro comes with a well-equipped box where you can find the following:

  • Phone itself
  • 120W fast charger with USB-A output
  • USB-A to USB-C cable
  • See-through silicone case
  • SIM tool
  • User manuals 

Xiaomi generally includes a charger in the box, a luxury that you don't find on many other phones of the same caliber, but it's also not just a regular charger, but an impressively speedy 120W fast charger.

The presence of a simple silicone case in the box is also welcome, so you know that you can have your phone well-protected from the moment you unbox it.
