Xiaomi today released a new disassembly video for its compact flagship Xiaomi 12, highlighting its innards comprised of the latest and greatest tech in the smartphone industry.

The video made the process look like a breeze with almost all of the parts looking like they’ve been loosely stuffed inside, although we doubt an actual dismantle will be that simple.

Upon lifting the back cover, the first thing you’ll notice is the circular wireless charging coil that rests atop the 4,500 battery. This coil is capable of quickly filling up the battery at 50W, and a lot of components have been packed into the phone to keep its temps low during charging.

Unscrewing some more parts will then lead you to the cameras and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor. The primary camera on the Xiaomi 12 has a resolution of 50MP and comes with OIS, as seen in the image below. The front 32MP camera can be removed easily without messing around with the display.

But the most impressive bit is easily the extensive cooling system packed into the device, comprised of 10345 mm² oversized graphite, 226 mm² white graphene, and 2600 mm² Super VC liquid cooling. Of course, all of this is visible in the disassembly video.

Another cool thing that while isn’t featured on the video but is still worth knowing is that the Xiaomi 12 comes with the smallest and highest density 5G motherboard in the history of the company, with 10% more components and a 17% smaller area.

Moreover, the battery of the Xiaomi 12 features a new generation of lithium cobalt oxide, has a cost increase of 14%, and is the highest density fast charge cell in Xiaomi’s history.

The Xiaomi 12 is currently only available in China for a starting price of 3,699 Yuan or around USD 580 and there hasn’t been any announcement yet about a global release. It was launched on the same day as the Xiaomi 12 Pro and Xiaomi 12X.
