On December 24, @Cici_ LaoWei, the person in charge of xiaomi 12 series products, shared some details about xiaomi 12, she said that 75% to 80% of people who use iPhones are small-size standard versions and Pro versions, and small screen flagships have always been the biggest voice of online users, and it is also a "most painful decision" for manufacturers, because it involves higher difficulty component stacking, higher cost component customization, and the final result may be "thankless".
To create a "high-end" full-blood small screen flagship, the test is the determination of manufacturers to invest and the motivation of research and development, Xiao Lei learned from the information shared by the person in charge, compared with a large-screen mobile phone, the development difficulty of small-screen mobile phones is almost doubled. The internal space of small-screen mobile phones is very precious, in a small space, only the use of high-cost custom components, in order to leave room for other configurations, so that the performance of the mobile phone is relatively balanced.
Among them, Xiaomi Mi 12 uses a customized sandwich motherboard, which is crammed into more chips, sensors, etc. in a smaller area, and the cost rises by 25%; equipped with high-density fast-charging batteries, a new generation of lithium cobalt oxide system, the cost rises by 14%; large-area ultra-thin VC vaporizer plate, the cost rises by 22%; symmetrical stereo speakers, the cost rises by 31%.
We all know that the iPhone 12 mini uses a large number of custom components, which also makes the official opening price of the phone exceed 5,000 yuan at one point. The configuration of the Xiaomi Mi 12 is very sincere, but the price may not be so cost-effective.
Even so, the overall configuration of Xiaomi Mi 12 is still improved compared with the large-screen Mi 11. Lei Jun also said that Xiaomi Mi 12, small size, big upgrade. In Xiao Lei's view, the configuration upgrade can be achieved in the 6.28-inch fuselage, which can be seen to be the lower cost, and the only pity is the OLED screen that "reverses" to 1080P.
In addition, there is also a suspense in terms of battery capacity, and the person in charge said that this will be a surprise. Some netizens said below the comment area: 5000 mAh surprise, Lao Wei responded: That is not, it means that the battery capacity may be between 4500 and 5000 mAh, Xiao Lei first boldly predicted a wave of 4650 mAh bar, for the small screen flagship, this battery has been very large, as this year's "full blood small screen flagship", Meizu 18 is only 4000 mAh only.
Lei Jun said that the future Xiaomi digital flagship will maintain a "large and small double size" product portfolio, in order to be able to fully benchmark the Apple iPhone. He also confirmed that Xiaomi Mi 12 and Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro will be pre-installed with MIUI 13 from the factory, so the question is, Xiaomi Mi 12X is not mentioned, will it be shipped without pre-installation?
Xiaomi, which has not been a small-screen mobile phone, finally responded to the needs of users and directly made an all-round small-screen flagship. In Xiao Lei's view, the hardware of Xiaomi's flagship mobile phone has always been piled up at the same price, as for whether Xiaomi 12 can successfully challenge Apple, it depends on the actual performance of MIUI 13.
