HyperOS 3, based on Android 16, has been rolling out to Xiaomi devices for a few months now. But there’s a version of HyperOS 3 based on Android 15, which will be released for select devices that aren’t eligible for Android 16. This started rolling out in China in December 2025, and now the global rollout has begun, starting with the Xiaomi 12T Pro. The Xiaomi 15 Pro, on the other hand, is receiving a new HyperOS 3.1 beta update.

Android 15-based HyperOS 3 now rolling out globally

It’s good to see Xiaomi pushing the Android 15-based HyperOS 3 update outside China. This will allow more Xiaomi users to access the latest features without upgrading to a newer model. For the Xiaomi 12T Pro, as spotted by Xiaomi Time, the HyperOS 3 update arrives with the firmware version 3.0.1.0.VLFMIXM.

It’s a major upgrade, and therefore, the download size would be a few gigabytes. It’s best to use a stable Wi-Fi connection for the purpose, and charge your battery to at least 40% for a smooth upgrade to HyperOS 3. To check for the latest update, go to Settings > My device and tap the HyperOS logo at the top.

Xiaomi 15 Pro is receiving a new HyperOS 3.1 beta update

If you’re running a HyperOS 3.1 build on your Xiaomi 15 Pro, a new beta update should be waiting for installation. The latest one, tagged with the firmware version 3.0.300.7.WOBCNXM focuses on resolving performance issues to improve the user experience. Don’t expect to see new features or major changes with the latest beta build.

The HyperOS 3.1 beta program is currently limited to China, so the latest beta build for the Xiaomi 15 Pro is also restricted to that region. We’ll let you know when the beta program expands to other regions in our Xiaomi section.

Xiaomi has started rolling out the June 2024 security update to many devices gradually and has taken important steps in security and performance improvements with this move. This update specifically targets smartphone users under the Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO brands.

Xiaomi 12T Pro was unveiled globally towards the end of last year and recently the smartphone underwent testing for a new feature. Xiaomi and Qualcomm today announced they successfully verified meter-level positioning on the smartphone. This new feature reportedly makes a big difference in how well the Xiaomi 12T Pro performs when it comes to mapping, driving, and other location-based mobile apps. Here are the details.

Meter-Level positioning on Xiaomi 12T Pro

As per the press release, Qualcomm and Xiaomi have successfully tested meter-level positioning in a Xiaomi 12 T Pro device powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 Mobile Platform. This feature is said to improve the overall smartphone user experience in various scenarios, such as while using Maps, driving, and other mobile applications.

It could bring improved accuracy when using ridesharing apps, making it easier for both drivers and passengers to identify pick-up locations. Meter-Level positioning also enhances fitness apps, allowing users to track their outdoor activities such as cycling and jogging more effectively.

Furthermore, in-vehicle real-time navigation apps can benefit from increased lane-level accuracy, providing drivers with more detailed maps and accurate directions. Other applications that could benefit from this feature include augmented reality games and location-based social media apps.

The new feature that improves the location capabilities was made possible by the collaboration between Qualcomm and Trimble. Qualcomm’s Meter-Level Positioning for Mobile and Trimble RTX correction were used in combination to achieve an “unprecedented level of accuracy in a commercial smartphone.”

The companies conducted several verification tests, including driving tests, in different scenarios such as open rural roads and busy urban highways. These tests demonstrated that the Xiaomi 12T Pro can achieve meter-level positioning variance with 95% confidence.

MIUI 14 is the latest user interface introduced by Xiaomi. It is based on Android 13 and brings several improvements and optimizations when compared with the previous versions. The brand has also added many new features like support for more widgets, optimized animations, icon redesigning and much more. Xiaomi was a little late when compared to the competition in terms of rolling out the latest Android 13 to their devices. The launch of MIUI 14 itself was delayed when we compare it to other UI announcements.

Well, the brand is working hard to cope with the competition. Recently, the POCO X4 GT grabbed the MIUI 14 update and now, the Xiaomi 12T Pro has also received the MIUI 14 update in EEA regions. The latest Android 13-based MIUI 14 update for Xiaomi 12T Pro comes with the build number V14.0.6.0.TLFEUXM. The device was launched back in 2022 with Android 12-based MIUI 13 running out of the box. The MIUI 14 is the first major update for the device, in terms of both MIUI and Android versions. It is supposed to get two more Android updates and three years of security patches.

Xiaomi 12T series went official in the global market in October 2022. The lineup has two models, the Xiaomi 12T and Xiaomi 12T Pro. In December, the company introduced Xiaomi 12T Pro Daniel Arsham Edition, a limited-edition phone in Europe. It appears that the 12T series has achieved impressive sales result, as Xiaomi founder and CEO Lei Jun took to Twitter to say, “We hit our annual Xiaomi 12T Pro sales target ahead of schedule!”

Since the Xiaomi 12T Pro sold faster than expected, Jun thanked the people for a giving a positive reception to the Xiaomi 12T Pro. The 12T and 12T Pro are affordable flagship phones that are priced at 599 euros and 749 euros, respectively, in Europe.

Like other smartphone brands, India is one of the major markets for Xiaomi. Last year, the company had released the Xiaomi 11T Pro in January in India. However, a recent report revealed that the company may not have plans to release the Xiaomi 12T and Xiaomi 12T Pro in the Indian market.

Xiaomi 12T, 12T Pro specifications

The Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 and Dimensity 8100-Ultra chipsets, respectively, power the Xiaomi 12T and 12T Pro. The former comes with 8 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128 GB / 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage, whereas the Pro edition offers 8 GB / 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128 GB / 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage.

The 12T has a 108-megapixel (main) + 8-megapixel (ultra-wide) + 2-megapixel (macro) triple camera unit. The 12T Pro has a 200-megapixel primary camera and the same auxiliary cameras. The other specs are same on both models.

The Xiaomi 12T series has a 6.67-inch AMOLED 120Hz display that offers a resolution of 1220 x 2712 pixels. Both devices have a 16-megapixel front and pack a 5,000mAh battery with 120W fast charging. The 12T series runs on MIUI 13-based Android 12 OS and comes with an under-display fingerprint scanner for security.

Last year, Xiaomi unveiled the Xiaomi 11T and Xiaomi 11T Pro in the global market. At the beginning of this year, the company released the Xiaomi 11T Pro in the Indian market. Later in October, the company announced the Xiaomi 12T and 12T Pro globally. So far, there have been no rumours about the Xiaomi 12T series’ launch in India. It appears that the 12T and 12T Pro may not release in India.

When tipster Kacper Skrzypek was asked whether the Xiaomi 12Tv and Xiaomi 12T Pro would be released in India, he ruled out the possibility of the 12T Pro’s India release. Talking about the Xiaomi 12T, the tipster said that “there is an Indian variant for “plato” (12T) in OTA, but there were no ROMs for a long time.”

To those who are unaware, “plato” and “diting” are respective codenames for the Xiaomi 12T and 12T Pro. Since there have been no ROMs for the Indian edition of the Xiaomi 12T, it appears that it will not release in India.

The Xiaomi 12T and 12T Pro would have competed with affordable flagship phones priced around Rs 40,000 (~$483) in the Indian market. However, the company may have a different strategy to rival the affordable flagships from other brands in 2023.

Last year, Redmi released the Redmi Note 11 Pro and Note 11 Pro+ in the Chinese market. Both devices came equipped with the Dimensity 920 SoC. The Note 11 Pro duo was rebranded as the Xiaomi 11i and Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge in the Indian market.

A report from October claimed that the Redmi Note 12 Pro+, which debuted in China in the same month, will be rebranded as the Xiaomi 12i HyperCharge in the Indian market. Because the Redmi Note 12 Pro+, which will be available in India on January 5, is said to be identical to its Chinese counterpart, it is unclear whether the Xiaomi 12i HyperCharge will be available in India. Also, there is no word on the Xiaomi 12i.

Xiaomi and OPPO usually release two Global series of flagship phones per year: one in the first half and one (inferior to the first) in the second half, and this year was the same. Talking about the most powerful models of the series released in the second half of 2022, Xiaomi released the new Xiaomi 12T Pro, while OPPO came up with the OPPO Reno9 Pro Plus. While the former already made its global debut, the latter is yet to hit the global market, but it is still unknown whether we will see a Pro Plus variant Global or it will be renamed with another moniker. While waiting, we think it is time for a comparison between the main specifications of the Xiaomi 12T Pro and the OPPO Reno9 Pro Plus in order to understand the differences between them. So here you go.

Xiaomi 12T Pro vs OPPO Reno9 Pro Plus

Design

There is no challenge if we talk about the design: the OPPO Reno9 Pro Plus is way better. First of all, it is thinner and lighter, with a thickness of just 8 mm and a weight of 192 grams. Further, it is the only one from this duo with a curved screen at the sides, including a very high screen to body ratio superior to 90 percent of the front panel. It also comes with great build quality as it actually sports an aluminum frame and glass protected by the Asahi Glass AGC DT-Star2 protection. On the other hand, the Xiaomi 12T Pro is protected against water and dust with the IP53 certification, but it is not waterproof. But the Reno9 Pro+ is definitely more gorgeous.

Display

Judging from the specs on the paper, it looks like the Xiaomi 12T Pro is equipped with a better display. It comes with an AMOLED panel able to show up to 68 billion colors with a diagonal of 6.67 inches, an 1.5K resolution of 1220 x 2712 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision support, HDR10+ certification, a peak brightness of 900 nits, and an in-display fingerprint reader. It also comes with stereo speakers tuned by Harman Kardon. But the OPPO Reno9 Pro Plus still sports a good display: it is an AMOLED panel with one billion colors, a diagonal of 6.7 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2412 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ certification, a peak brightness of 950 nits, and an in-display fingerprint reader, as well as stereo speakers.

Specs & Software

The hardware found on the OPPO Reno9 Pro Plus is slightly better than the Xiaomi 12T Pro. Both phones are equipped with a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 mobile platform: a chipset built with a 4 nm production process and an octa-core architecture including a Cortex X2 CPU, three Cortex A710 CPUs, four Cortex A510 CPUs, and an Adreno 730 GPU. On the OPPO, the main core is underclocked with a max frequency of 3 GHz, while the Xiaomi 12T has the standard 3.19 GHz max frequency of the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. However, the Reno9 Pro Plus sports a higher quantity of RAM: 16 GB instead of just 12 GB provided by Xiaomi, as well as more internal storage: 512 GB instead of 256 GB. Further, the OPPO Reno9 Pro+ has a more advanced Android version: it ships with the latest Android 13 out of the box instead of Android 12.

Camera

At first glance, it seems like the Xiaomi 12T Pro has a better camera as it sports the new 200 MP Samsung ISOCELL sensor. However, the 50 MP Sony IMX890 sensor found on the OPPO Reno9 Pro Plus guarantees a higher photo quality, especially because it is supported by the OPPO’s proprietary NPU known as MariSilicon X. Last but not least, the OPPO flagship has a better front camera, with a 32 MP resolution instead of 20 MP found on the 12 T Pro.

Battery

The Xiaomi 12T Pro is equipped with a bigger battery and it should provide longer battery life in several scenarios. It also charges quicker thanks to 120W fast charging, instead of just 80W.

Price

The starting price of the Xiaomi 12T Pro globally is $897/€850, while the OPPO Reno9 Pro Plus, as already mentioned, is not available globally. It costs about $649/€615 in China. Which is your favorite one?

Xiaomi today unveiled the Xiaomi 12T Pro Daniel Arsham Edition with an iconic sculptural design. Like any other limited-edition handset, this one also comes with customized accessories, packaging, and user interface. The company says the new model is limited to just 2,000 units, and its pre-orders begin on December 5. Let’s have a closer look at the details.

As the name suggests, the new Xiaomi 12T Pro model is designed in collaboration with Daniel Arsham, a contemporary artist based in New York City. You might know Arsham from his crystallised Pokémon sculptures, which gained quite some popularity.

The limited-edition smartphone features the New York-based artist’s signature fossilized style, a decaying style that he calls “Fictional Archaeology.” It is designed to be “a sculpture with a purpose outside of being a functional object.” The device comes with bronze crystals integrated into an eroded green patina. Even though the crystals aren’t protruding, the printed gems in the coating and parts of the patina make them appear more convincing.

The artist said, “In 20 years, people who have this phone will no longer use it as a phone but as a sculptural object, linked to a particular moment in time and carrying it beyond its functionality.”

Xiaomi has also customized the UI of the device, giving it a more contemporary look. The smartphone comes with a custom-made gyroscopic wallpaper that continues Arsham’s theme of erosion. The wallpaper shifts gently with the motion of the device to create a 3D effect.

Xiaomi 12T Pro Daniel Arsham Edition will cost around $932 and be available for pre-order starting December 5. It will go on sale on December 16. Note that the handset will only be sold in France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. Interested readers will be able to purchase the device from Mi.com.

Earlier today (17th November 2022), the Xiaomi 12T series of high end smartphones were finally announced in the Philippines market. The lineup is the company’s flagship model that offers capable specs at a competitive price point, so let’s have a look.

The Chinese tech giant’s 12T series consists of two models, namely the Xiaomi 12T and the 12T Pro. Both models share a number of similarities as well as some key differences. In terms of design, the two 12T models have similar dimensions and also offer stereo speakers. On the front, both devices sport a 6.67 inch AMOLED display that has a 1220p resoluton, HDR10+ support, 900 nits of peak brightness, and up to 120Hz refresh rate with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection. The Xiaomi 12T Pro model also has Dolby Vision support for an improved viewing experience.

Under the hood, the 12T lineup pack a large 5,000mAh battery pack that supports up to 120W fast charging, which can charge the devices to full in just 20 minutes. On the rear, both phones have a triple camera setup. Although the Pro variant has a 200 megapixel primary sensor that is paired with an 8 megapixel ultra wide angle lens, and a 2 megapixel macro shooter. The base model has a 108 megapixel primary camera, but the two other sensors are the same as the Pro variant. Another notable difference between the two is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip on the 12T Pro and the MediaTek Dimensity 8100 Ultra SoC on the vanilla 12T.

The standard Xiaomi 12T starts from P26,999 (roughly 469 US Dollars), while the 12T Pro will retail for a price of P37,999 (roughly 660 US Dollars). The pre-orders will begin on November 18 and last till the 29th, with the brand also offering a free S1 Active smartwatch worth P8,999 (roughly 156 US Dollars) to those that pre-order the new smartphones.

The Xiaomi 12T Pro is definitely one of the most advanced flagship killers of the second half of 2022. Its price is not the most affordable, but it is not even the most expensive. Despite that, this is a phone with an outstanding camera and the best Qualcomm chipset out there, as well as one of the fastest charging technologies in the whole market. Is it enough to make it the best flagship out there in terms of value for money? We think there is no better way to understand it than comparing it to the most impressive flagship killers released by other brands. Here is a comparison between the main specifications of the Xiaomi 12T Pro and the Motorola Edge 30 Pro. The Edge 30 Pro is currently one of the most affordable flagship killers with top-tier hardware you can buy in the global market, that is the reason why it is the perfect rival of the new Xiaomi flagship. Here you will learn which one suits your needs the most.

Xiaomi 12T Pro vs Motorola Edge 30 Pro

Design

Despite being high-end phones, the Xiaomi 12T Pro and the Motorola Edge 30 Pro do not come with the most beautiful designs, but they are not ugly phones. These phones are built with glass backs and they sport very high screen to body ratios, thanks to narrow bezels around the displays. The Motorola Edge 30 Pro looks to have a more minimalistic look, with a camera module sporting the same color as the rest of the rear cover. These are not thin and lightweight phones because they pack above-average batteries, and they are not compact phones as well. An important added value of the Xiaomi 12T Pro is the presence of the IP53 certification making it dust resistant and splashproof, but the Motorola Edge 30 Pro has a water repellent design, so it offers some protection against water allowing you to use it under the rain. For the rest, follow your tastes and choose which one is the best for you consequently.

Display

The displays of these two phones belong to the same range, but on paper, it looks like the Xiaomi 12T Pro has a more advanced panel. It is an AMOLED display with a diagonal of 6.67 inches able to show up to 68 billion colors with a Full HD+ resolution of 1220 x 2712 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, HDR10 certification, Dolby Vision support, and a peak brightness of 900 nits. It also comes with an in-display fingerprint reader and stereo speakers. The Motorola Edge 30 Pro has an OLED display able to show up to one billion colors with a diagonal of 6.7 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 144 Hz refresh rate, and HDR10+ certification. The phone has stereo speakers and, despite its panel being an OLED, the biometric sensor is not in-display but it has a side-mounted fingerprint reader.

Specs & Software

If your goal is to get the most advanced hardware department, then you should opt for the Xiaomi 12T Pro. It is powered by a more powerful processor: the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. It is currently the best processor by Qualcomm, built with a 4 nm production process and with an octa-core architecture composed of a Cortex X2 CPU running at a max frequency of 3.19 GHz, three Cortex A710 CPUs running at 2.75 GHz, four Cortex A510 CPUs running at 2 GHz, and an Adreno 730 GPU. Alongside the chipset, there are up to 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. The Motorola Edge 30 Pro is fueled by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 built with a 4 nm production process and sporting an octa-core architecture composed of a Cortex X2 core running at 3 GHz, three Cortex A710 cores running at 2.5 GHz, four Cortex A510 cores running at 1.8 GHz, and an Adreno 730 GPU. It is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 3.1 native storage. Both phones run Android 12 out of the box, but with different user interfaces on top.

Camera

If you love to shoot normal photos and you are looking for the best main camera, choose the Xiaomi 12T Pro because it is one of the world’s first phones with a 200 MP shooter, including OIS support. But if you want better ultrawide shots, then you should go for the Motorola Edge 30 Pro because it comes with a 50 MP main camera and another 50 MP camera for ultrawide photos. Further, the Edge 30 Pro has a better front camera with a 60 MP resolution.

Xiaomi launched a new flagship for the global market: it is the Xiaomi 12T Pro. Announced alongside the vanilla version from the same lineup, this is one of the world’s first phones with a 200 MP camera and it also comes with the most advanced chipset by Qualcomm. However, its price tag is quite affordable if compared to the other top-tier flagships out there. After reading its listing price, a lot of people are wondering whether or not this device stands a chance against the iPhone 14 Pro, which is the latest Apple flagship. The price difference is huge, but is it the same when it comes to the specifications? We decided to give you an answer through this article: here is a comparison between the main specifications of the Xiaomi 12T Pro and the Apple iPhone 14 Pro.

Xiaomi 12T Pro vs Apple iPhone 14 Pro

Design

If your goal is to get the most beautiful design, there is no doubt about the fact that you should go for the Apple iPhone 14 Pro. First of all, it is built with better materials: glass for the back and stainless steel for the frame. It is very beautiful and also very compact; further, it introduces for the first time the new Dynamic Island: a pill-shaped punch hole acting like a secondary display to show important information. It also comes with the IP68 certification proving that it is waterproof and dustproof. The Xiaomi 12T Pro is bigger and chunkier, there is no way for it to compete with the iPhone. However, it is still built with premium materials including a glass back and an aluminum frame. It has the IP53 certification making it dust resistant and splash resistant, but it is not a waterproof device.

Display

If you are looking for the best display, you should go for the iPhone 14 Pro without thinking twice. It has a Super Retina XDR OLED panel with a diagonal of 6.1 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1179 x 2556 pixels, the LTPO technology enabling an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz, HDR10 certification, Dolby Vision support, and a peak brightness of 2,000 nits. The display is protected by Ceramic Shield and, as mentioned above, it includes Dynamic Island which contains the hardware sensors for 3D facial recognition. The Xiaomi 12T Pro has a high-end display, but it is not comparable to Apple. It is an AMOLED panel with a diagonal of 6.67 inches, a 1,5K resolution of 1220 x 2712 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ certification, Dolby Vision support, a peak brightness of 900 nits, and an in-display fingerprint reader, protected by Gorilla Glass 5. The only advantage of the Xiaomi is the wider diagonal: 6.67 inches instead of just 6.1 inches, but for the rest, the display of the iPhone 14 Pro is superior.

Specs & Software

The iPhone 14 Pro and the Xiaomi 12T Pro are two phones with flagship-class hardware, so you will get the highest level of performance you can get with Android and iOS by choosing these devices. The iPhone 14 Pro is powered by the new Apple A16 Bionic mobile platform: a chipset built with a 4 nm production process and sporting an hexa-core architecture with two Everest CPUs running at a max frequency of 3.46 GHz, four Sawtooth CPUs running at 2.02 GHz, and a 5-core Apple proprietary GPU. The chipset is paired with 6 GB of RAM and up to 1 TB of native storage. If the iPhone has the best Apple chipset, the Xiaomi 12T Pro comes with the best Qualcomm chipset: the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 built with a 4 nm production process and sporting an octa-core architecture composed of a Cortex X2 CPU running at 3.19 GHz, three Cortex A710 CPUs running at 2.75 GHz, four Cortex A710 CPUs running at 2 GHz, and an Adreno 730 GPU. Alongside the chipset, there are up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. Do not get fooled by the RAM because iOS has better optimization than Android: the iPhone 14 Pro is able to provide better performance. These phones run iOS 16 and Android 12, respectively.

Camera

The iPhone 14 Pro wins the camera comparison in all of the scenarios. It is equipped with the first 48 MP camera ever seen on an iPhone, a 12 MP telephoto sensor, and a 12 MP ultrawide lens. With the Xiaomi 12T Pro you get an excellent 200 MP main camera with OIS, but the secondary sensors are midrange-class: an 8 MP ultrawide lens and a 2 MP macro shooter.

Battery

The Xiaomi 12T Pro is able to last more on a single charge in several scenarios thanks to its bigger 5000 mAh and it even charges faster thanks to 120W fast charging, but, unlike the iPhone 14 Pro, it does not support wireless charging.

Price

You need either $1000 or €1300 to purchase the iPhone 14 Pro globally, while the Xiaomi 12T Pro starts from €899 or $899. The iPhone 14 Pro wins the comparison thanks to a better display, cameras, build quality, and wireless charging.

The post Xiaomi 12T Pro vs iPhone 14 Pro: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

A new Xiaomi flagship is on the shelves on the global market, and it is again a flagship killer. We are referring to the Xiaomi 12T Pro, a new variant of the Xiaomi 12 lineup focused on the quality price ratio. Earlier this year, the Chinese giant released the Xiaomi 12 Pro and a lot of people are thinking that the new device is actually an upgrade of the older one, but it is not so. The Xiaomi 12T Pro has a few better specifications, but it also comes with a few downgrades over its predecessor. That is the reason why a lot of people are confused about these two devices. This is a comparison between the main specifications of the Xiaomi 12 Pro and the Xiaomi 12T Pro which will hopefully clear your ideas in regards and let you understand which of these phones is the best for your actual needs.

Xiaomi 12T Pro vs Xiaomi 12 Pro

Design

Even though it is an older device, the design of the Xiaomi 12 Pro looks a lot more attractive than the one found on the Xiaomi 12T Pro. It is entirely built with premium materials including glass for the back protected by Gorilla Glass Victus and aluminum for the frame. Further, it has a higher screen to body ratio as the display covers almost 90 percent of the front panel, while the Xiaomi 12T Pro has thicker bezels. On the other hand, the recent flagship has the IP53 certification making it dust resistant and splash resistant.

Display

The display of the Xiaomi 12 Pro is actually better than the one found on its younger sibling. It is an AMOLED panel able to show up to one billion colors with a wider diagonal of 6.73 inches and a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3200 pixels. It supports the LTPO technology enabling an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz, it has the HDR10+ certification, Dolby Vision support, and a peak brightness of 1,500 nits, as well as an in-display fingerprint scanner. The Xiaomi 12T Pro has an inferior display, but it remains a very interesting panel as it is the first display with a 1.5K resolution of 1220 x 2712 pixels. We are talking about an AMOLED panel with a diagonal of 6.67 inches, 68 billion colors, a 120 Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ certification, Dolby Vision support, a peak brightness of 900 nits, and an in-display fingerprint reader. Both phones feature stereo speakers tuned by Harman Kardon for an improved audio experience.

Specs & Software

The hardware setup of the Xiaomi 12T Pro wins the comparison because of the presence of a stronger chipset. The Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 found on this device is actually an upgrade of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 found on the Xiaomi 12 Pro. It is a chipset built with a 4 nm production process and sporting an octa-core architecture composed of a Cortex X2 CPU running at a max frequency of 3.19 GHz, three Cortex A710 CPUs running at 2.75 GHz, four Cortex A510 running at 2 GHz, and an Adreno 730 GPU. Instead, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 has lower frequencies for the cores. In both cases, the chipsets are paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. These handsets were released in different periods, but they both run Android 12 out of the box, customized by MIUI 13.

Camera

If we talk about the main cameras, then the Xiaomi 12T Pro is a superior phone thanks to the presence of the world’s first 200 MP camera for a mobile device. But the secondary sensors are just midrange-class: an 8 MP ultrawide camera and a 2 MP macro shooter. The Xiaomi 12 Pro has flagship-class secondary sensors: a telephoto lens with a 50 MP resolution and 2x optical zoom, and another 50 MP sensor for ultrawide shots. The 12 Pro also features a better front camera with a 32 MP resolution.

Battery

If your goal is to get the longest battery life on a single charge, then you should go for the Xiaomi 12T Pro. It sports a bigger 5000 mAh battery and, given that the other components are not so different, it is definitely sure that it will provide longer battery life. On the other hand, the Xiaomi 12 Pro is the only one featuring wireless charging, as well as reverse wireless charging.

Price

The Xiaomi 12 Pro hitten the global market with a very high listing price: €1100 or $1100 for the European market. The Xiaomi 12T Pro is way more affordable as it hitten the shelves with a starting price tag of €899 or $899. So the 12T Pro has a higher value for money, but overall, the Xiaomi 12 Pro is a better phone. It sports a superior display, a better camera department, and wireless charging.

With eSIM functionality becoming more popular day by day, OEMs will soon replace physical SIM cards with electronic SIM cards. Although there is still time for that to happen since most smartphones don’t support eSims, not even alongside a standard SIM card. Xiaomi’s smartphone lineup was no exception to this. However, the Chinese company has rectified this with its latest Xiaomi 12T Pro.

Xiaomi 12T Pro was introduced in the global market on October 4, and it is the company’s first globally launched smartphone to offer eSim functionality. However, it is supported by a limited number of carriers, and the availability may vary depending on the country/region and carrier.

It is worth noting that the 12T Pro was launched in two sim card configurations— nano SIM + eSIM and nano SIM + nano SIM. Currently, users residing in countries like Germany, Italy, France, Japan, and Malaysia, among others, can use eSim. You can check the full list of countries/regions, and carriers with eSIM support here.

eSIM functionality is also available on the Redmi Note 10T, but only in Japan. Further, it is reported that the upcoming Xiaomi 12 Lite NE will also support this feature.

To recall, the Xiaomi 12T Pro comes with a 6.67-inch AMOLED display offering a resolution of 2712×1220 pixels and a maximum refresh rate of 120 Hz. The handset is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, clubbed with 12GB LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB storage.

It is equipped with a new 200-megapixel primary sensor. The handset also has an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera with an F/2.2 aperture and a 2-megapixel macro camera. On the front, the device comes with a 20-megapixel selfie camera. 12T Pro has a 5000mAh battery and supports 120W fast charging.

The post Xiaomi 12T Pro becomes the company’s first smartphone to support eSim globally appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier this week, Xiaomi announced the Xiaomi 12T series globally. There are two models in the lineup this year, the Xiaomi 12T and the 12T Pro, and they directly succeed the Xiaomi 12 series models that were announced late last year. Given that there are two new models in the Xiaomi lineup, we thought it would be a good idea to compare these two devices and see how they differ from each other. 

If you look at the specs alone, there are very few differences between these two models. In fact, even in terms of their designs, the Xiaomi 12T looks identical to the Xiaomi 12T Pro. They share the same display and form factors, but there are some subtle differences when it comes to memory configurations and the processor underneath. 

So let’s take a closer look at the Xiaomi 12T vs Xiaomi 12T Pro in this comparison and see how they differ from each other. 

Xiaomi 12T vs Xiaomi 12T Pro

DESIGN

In terms of design, both phones are nearly identical. In fact, they both share a similar design profile as its Xiaomi 12 series predecessors announced last year. That doesn’t mean the design is bad, but if you were looking for a design refresh, you will be disappointed. 

So both the Xiaomi 12T and the 12T Pro feature rounded corners with a rectangular camera module housing three cameras inside. The primary camera is pretty large on both the models, which is not surprising given how the 12T Pro features one of the highest resolution cameras in the market right now – a 200MP sensor. On the front, the two phones share the same panel with a punch-hole camera on the top. 

Overall, in terms of the design alone, it will be extremely difficult to distinguish between the two models. Both have the same 163.1 x 75.9 x 8.6 mm dimensions, but the 12T Pro is a bit heavier at 205 grams vs 202 grams of the Xiaomi 12T. 

In terms of colors too, both phones have the exact same color variants, namely Black, Blue, and Silver.

DISPLAY

Another area where the Xiaomi 12T and the 12T Pro are identical is in terms of the display. The two phones share a 6.67-inch OLED screen featuring a 1.5K resolution of 1220 x 2712 pixels, a 120Hz refresh rate, and HDR10+ support. Notably, it looks like only the Xiaomi 12T Pro will come with Dolby Vision support. But this seems to be the only major differentiating factor between these two models’ displays.  

Both phones feature an under-display fingerprint scanner. 

SPECS

The biggest difference between the Xiaomi 12T and the 12T Pro will be found in the processor department. The Xiaomi 12T Pro comes with Qualcomm’s fastest processor of 2022, the Qualcomm SM8475 Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset clocked at 3.2GHz. On the other hand, the Xiaomi 12T comes with Mediatek’s fastest chip, the Dimensity 8100-Ultra clocked up to 2.85GHz. While the Snapdragon chip might have a slight advantage in terms of processing power, both chips are extremely capable and should deliver similar performance and graphics power. You should have no issues running high-intensive apps or games on both devices. 

In terms of available configurations too, there are some differences between these two devices. The Xiaomi 12T comes with only 8GB of RAM in 128GB and 256GB storage variants. On the other hand, the Xiaomi 12T Pro comes in 8GB and 12GB RAM models, with storage going up to 256GB. 

Since they are from the same 12T series, both models run on Android 12-based MIUI 13 UI. 

CONNECTIVITY

In terms of connectivity, there are some differences too. For example, the Xiaomi 12T Pro supports dual SIM but also supports eSIM which the 12T doesn’t. The Pro version gets Bluetooth 5.2 while the standard 12T gets the newer Bluetooth 5.3 support. 

The Xiaomi 12T Pro also brings Harmon Kardon tuning on its Dual speakers which the standard variant lacks. Other connectivity features like 360° Ambient light sensor, Flicker Sensor, and IR Blaster are common between the two phones. 

CAMERA

One of the biggest upgrades on the Xiaomi 12T Pro over its predecessors is in the camera department. The phone gets a massive 200MP primary camera at the back, supports by a 120-degree 8MP ultra wide-angle sensor and a 2MP macro shooter. The primary camera flaunts an f/1.69 aperture, with OIS, and an 8P lens. 

On the other hand, the standard variant gets a 108MP primary shooter with f/1.7 aperture and OIS (no 8P lens) along with the same 8MP ultra-wide and 2MP macro cameras from its Pro siblings. 

Notably, the 12T Pro’s 200MP primary camera will bin up to 16 pixels at a time to output extremely detailed 12.5MP images. Similarly, the 108-megapixel sensor on the 12T bins nine pixels at a time to output crisp 12MP photos. 

Another difference between the two models is the additional camera features on the Pro model. For example, the more expensive sibling adds Xiaomi ProCut and ProFocus features to its camera setup. The Pro model can also record videos at 8K 7680×4320 at 24fps and 4K 3840×2160 at 60fps while the standard model is limited to 4K 30fps video recording support. 

On the front, both phones feature a 20MP f/2.2 camera for selfies and video calls. 

BATTERY

The battery and charging technologies on both phones are identical. The Xiaomi 12T and 12T Pro come with 5000mAh batteries with up 120W fast charging support which promises 100% in under 20 minutes! 

PRICE

The Xiaomi 12T starts at EUR 599 whereas the Pro variant starts at EUR 749 globally. 

VERDICT

Overall, the Xiaomi 12T Pro seems like a better buy among the two with a bunch of additional camera features and a slightly better processor too. That said, if you want to save a few bucks, the Xiaomi 12T is a capable device too, and won’t disappoint for the value it brings at EUR 600.

Last week, Redmi unveiled the Redmi K50 Ultra in China. Reports have claimed that this device will be debuting in October with the Xiaomi 12T Pro name in the global market. Speculations are rife that a vanilla model named the Xiaomi 12T will also debut alongside it. A recent report revealed the configuration, color variants, and price range of the Xiaomi 12T series. Now, a new leak by Snoopy Tech has revealed the exact price of the 12T series.

According to the tipster, the Xiaomi 12T will come with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. It will be available in Black, Silver, and Blue. It will be priced at 649 euros.

The Xiaomi 12T Pro will also come in the same configuration and color variants. It will be priced at 849 euros. As mentioned above, it may borrow its design and specifications from the K50 Ultra.

The Xiaomi 12T Pro is expected to feature a 6.67-inch OLED FHD+ 144Hz display with an in-screen fingerprint scanner. It will run on the MIUI 13-based Android 12 OS. The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip may power the device with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage.

Last month, Lu Weibing, General Manager of the Redmi brand, revealed that the company will be launching a new Redmi K50 series smartphone powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 SoC. A few interesting details about this upcoming handset have now emerged.

The forthcoming Redmi-branded smartphone with a Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset is rumored to go official as Redmi K50S Pro. According to Digital Chat Station, this phone will also arrive with an improved display, cameras, and battery/charging.

Most importantly, the tipster also suggests the presence of a telephoto camera. But it will be likely a normal 2x or 3x shooter instead of a periscope module.

The last Redmi phone with a zoom camera was the China-exclusive Redmi K30 Pro Zoom Edition whose 8MP telephoto camera was paired with a 3x lens and OIS.

Prior to that, both the Redmi K20 and the Redmi K20 Pro had an 8MP telephoto shooter with a 2x lens. The Redmi K series was expected to retain a proper wide +  ultra-wide +  telephoto camera setup after its debut. But unfortunately, that did not happen.

The Redmi K30 and the Redmi K30 5G came with useless 2MP macro and 2MP depth sensors. Xiaomi’s popular 5MP telemacro camera with auto-focus debuted on the Redmi K30 Pro. This camera was later used by the entire Redmi K40 lineup (except Redmi K40 Gaming Edition) but has been dropped by this year’s Redmi K50 series in favor of useless 2MP macro snapper.

The Redmi K50S Pro is expected to release as Xiaomi 12T Pro in international markets. Hence, if the aforementioned information is true, customers outside mainland China will be also able to use a zoom camera on a flagship killer Xiaomi smartphone after a long time.

A new Xiaomi device with a 22071212AG model number has been certified by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the US. The listing (via) has revealed key details like its variants and connectivity features. This device is likely to come out in late Q3 or early Q4 of this year with the name Xiaomi 12T.

Previous reports have revealed that Xiaomi is working on two devices that have “plato” and “diting” codenames. These devices have 22071212AC/G and 22081212C/G model numbers. The letters “C” and “G” indicate their China and global versions. The shortened model numbers of these devices are L12 and L12A.

The L12 (diting) is likely to debut as the Redmi K50S Pro in China. It may arrive with the Xiaomi 12T Pro name in global markets. This phone has two more variants with model numbers: 22081212UG and 22081212R. The former is likely to be called the Xiaomi 12T Pro Hypercharge, whereas the latter could be a Japan-exclusive mode, which may debut as the Xiaomi 12T Pro.

Two new Xiaomi devices have bagged certification from China’s MIIT authority (via). One of them appears to be the upcoming Xiaomi Pad 6 tablet, while the other one could be the rumored Redmi K50 series flagship.

The CMIIT authority has approved two Xiaomi devices with model numbers 22081212C (shortened model number L2) and 22081281AC (shortened model number L81AC). Readers can visit this dedicated post to learn more about the tablet. The below-shown table was shared by Xiaomiui around two months ago.

As can be seen in the table, Redmi may launch the Redmi K50S (codename: plato; model number: 22081212AC) and Redmi K50S Pro (codename: mayfly; model number: 22081212C) in China. These devices are expected to be rebranded as Xiaomi 12T (model number: 22081212AG) and Xiaomi 12T Pro (model number: 22081212G).

In addition, the global market is expected to receive another variant called the Xiaomi 12T Pro Hypercharge (model number: 22081212UG). This device may possibly support 120W fast charging. The Xiaomi 12T Pro heading to Japan has a 22081212R model number. Readers are advised to take the final marketing names of these devices with a pinch of salt. These devices are not expected to be released in India.

The publication claimed that the Xiaomi 12T will feature the Dimensity flagship chipset, whereas the Xiaomi 12T Pro will be equipped with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. It appears the same goes for the Redmi K50S and K50S Pro.

The predecessor T-branded phones, such as the Xiaomi Mi 10T series and the Xiaomi 11T lineup, were released in September 2021 and 2020, respectively. Hence, it is likely that the Xiaomi 12T lineup may break cover around the same time this year. As far as the K50S series is concerned, it may launch earlier as it has bagged CMIIT certification.

As the rumour mill for Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ turns faster, it seems that more leaks have surfaced online regarding Android phone manufacturers opting for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ SoC as their preferred chipset for their upcoming flagships that are planned to launch in the second half of 2022.

So far, it seems that Xiaomi may be the biggest customer for Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ SoC as a recent leak shows that the tech giant may have at least 6 upcoming 2022 flagships that will sport the unannounced chipset which is respectively the Xiaomi 12 Ultra, Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold 2, Xiaomi 12S, Xiaomi 12S Pro, Redmi K50S Pro and the Xiaomi 12T Pro.

The leaks come from the team over at Xiaomiui, as the team has discovered several Snapdragon Xiaomi devices that are currently in development, most notably the ones with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ chipset, via Xiaomi’s MIUI Internal Source Code. 

The internal source code references a list of devices that are utilising an unannounced SM8475 chipset, in which SM8475 is the codename for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+. The list mentions 5 internal codenamed devices, which can then be traced back to 6 upcoming Xiaomi devices with their respective marketing names that will be sporting the unannounced flagship chipset: 

• Xiaomi 12 UItra (thor)
• Xiaomi Mi MIX FOLD 2 (zizhan)
• Xiaomi 12S (diting)
• Xiaomi 12S Pro (unicorn)
• Xiaomi 12T Pro / Redmi K50S Pro (mayfly)

Out of the 6 devices, the Xiaomi 12 Ultra is expected to be the brand’s first flagship to sport the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+, as an earlier leaked poster of the Xiaomi 12 Ultra was circulating around in April citing that the device is due to be launched on May 10th. 

Although we have heard the Xiaomi Mi Mix FOLD 2 and Xiaomi 12T Pro popped up in earlier leaks, it seems that Xiaomi still has 2 more flagships, the Xiaomi 12S and 12S Pro to launch in 2022, which could provide a very crowded competition in 2022’s Android flagship space.

The reason why the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ is so highly anticipated over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is that industry insiders have been hearing that Qualcomm will be switching from Samsung’s 4nm chip fabrication process to TSMC’s 4nm process for its next flagship chip. 

Predictions indicate that the switch to TSMC’s process could lead to higher yields, better power efficiency and lower thermal throttling for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ chipsets, making it a very attractive prospect for Android phone manufacturers in the market.
