We have just spotted the first-ever teardown of the Xiaomi 12 Pro that was unveiled on Tuesday in China. The premium flagship series is yet to even go on sale but a Chinese blogger has posted a video teardown/review of the Pro model on China’s top video-sharing website Bilibili.
The video provides us with our first look at the internals of the 12 Pro. There is no doubt that the Xiaomi 12 Pro comes with a top-notch design just like the rest of the lineup. The teardown also shows the device equally features well-arranged internals. The device retains a sandwich structure with a three-stage design after the rear cover is removed. Xiaomi also included a heat dissipation film, a copper foil, and silicone grease, as well as a 2900mm2 super VC soaking plate to ensure the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 doesn’t allow the device to heat up excessively.
The Mi 12 Pro is the first smartphone to pack a Sony IMX 707 sensor with 7P+ Optical image stabilization and we get to see the sensor for the first time. Also, the device features a 50MP Samsung JN1 sensor which is a portrait lens and a 50MP ultra-wide angle sensor.
In terms of flash memory and RAM, the teardown video shows that both the LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 flash storage are supplied by SK Hynix.
Another impressive hardware feature spotted on the teardown video is the four-unit crossover speakers (high + low) arranged diagonally up and down. At the same time, the X-axis linear motor is also a circle larger than those on most Android phones with a vibration comparable to that of the iPhone. The device is also shown to feature a more expensive ultra-thin under-display fingerprint solution.
