The Xiaomi 12 series consisting of Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12 Pro went official in China last week. Just within days from the announcement, an image showcasing a prototype of both these handsets has emerged. Let’s check out how the final product is different from when it was in the development stage.
Someone posted a picture of Xiaomi 12 series prototypes on the Xiaomi Community. The image came into the limelight when a blogger shared it on Weibo.
As you can see, although the prototypes of Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12 Pro in the photo look identical to the official devices at first look, they aren’t actually.
First and foremost, the primary camera on the prototype duo is comparatively larger than that found on the actual device. We could spot it easily as we are used to the design of the phones. Most people wouldn’t know unless they compare side by side.
Secondly, the vanilla Xiaomi 12 prototype in the picture sports a paint job that’s not available officially. According to ITHome, his color looks more like pink than the purple version sold by Xiaomi.
Finally, the rear camera island on the Xiaomi 12 prototype has a dual finish. The main camera part has a glossy metallic finish, while the auxiliary part has matte. In reality, the entire camera module has a matte finish as seen on the Xiaomi 12 Pro prototype.
We personally like how the actual Xiaomi 12 series turned out to be in terms of design though it looks generic. What are your thoughts on the design? Share with us in the comment section below.
