At the just-concluded Xiaomi 12 series conference, Lei Jun repeatedly stressed that Xiaomi should officially benchmark Apple, specifically the Xiaomi 12 benchmark iPhone 13, and the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro benchmark iPhone 13 Pro/Max. But the price of Apple's iPhone 13 reached 5999 yuan, while the price of Xiaomi Mi 12 was only 3699 yuan. As the saying goes, "a penny, a penny", how many odds does the cheap Xiaomi Mi 12 have in the face of the expensive iPhone 13?
This time, the screen of the Xiaomi Mi 12 is only 6.28 inches, and the fuselage is slightly longer than the Apple iPhone 13, but it is much narrower, and even girls can hold it in one hand. Therefore, the Xiaomi Mi 12 and the iPhone 13 can be regarded as a small size flagship phone, which is also the main reason why the Xiaomi Mi 12 dares to benchmark the iPhone 13.
In terms of specific screen parameters, Xiaomi Mi 12 uses a 1080P screen from Huaxing Optoelectronics, with a resolution of 2400 * 1080 and a pixel density of 419PPI. The resolution of the iPhone 13 is 2532 * 1170, although it is also 1080P level, but the pixel density is higher, reaching 460PPI, so the display effect of the iPhone 13 is still more delicate than that of Xiaomi 12.
However, one advantage of the Xiaomi Mi 12 is that it supports a refresh rate of 120Hz, while the iPhone 13 only has 60Hz. Netizens who use too high brush screens should know that the high refresh rate is still more obvious when surfing the Internet and playing games. So in terms of screen display, xiaomi mi 12 and iPhone 13 have their own advantages.
In terms of hardware performance, the iPhone 13 is equipped with its own A15 processor, which adopts TSMC's 5nm process, and the game performance is very powerful. The Xiaomi Mi 12 is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 series processor, which uses Samsung's 4nm process. The two are stronger than the CPU performance of the Apple A15, while the GPU performance of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 is better. Therefore, the performance of the two is also a win-lose situation, of course, the performance of the processor also has a lot to do with the heat dissipation of the fuselage. Therefore, the performance of xiaomi mi 12 can only be finally determined after the real machine is listed.
In terms of battery and endurance, Apple's iPhone 13 has a built-in 3240mAh battery, and the Xiaomi Mi 12 is a 4500mAh high-density battery. From the parameter point of view, Xiaomi 12 has more advantages, but Apple's iOS system has always been known for power saving, so whether Xiaomi 12 can benchmark Apple in terms of battery life, or wait for the follow-up real machine test.
However, in terms of charging, the Xiaomi Mi 12 supports 67W wired second charge, which can be charged to 100% in 39 minutes. As well as 50W wireless second charge, 53 minutes charge to 100%. It can be said that the Xiaomi Mi 12 is far better than Apple in both wired charging and wireless charging. And the battery of Xiaomi mobile phones is also very cheap to replace, so there is no need to worry about fast charging will lead to shorter battery life.
As for taking pictures, Apple's iPhone 13 has two 12-megapixel main cameras, covering wide-angle and ultra-wide-angle respectively, and the video function is very powerful. The Xiaomi Mi 12 is equipped with a 50-megapixel IMX766 main camera, a 13-megapixel wide-angle lens, and a 5-megapixel telephoto macro lens, which is stronger than the iPhone 13 in terms of camera parameters.
Although the phone takes pictures not only to see the parameters but also to see the adjustment, but in terms of selfies, the Xiaomi Mi 12's 32-megapixel front camera is obviously more outstanding, it supports the beauty function, can bring a very natural whitening and skin beautification effect, and can repair acne scars, wrinkles and other imperfections on the face. The iPhone 13's front camera is based on real imaging as a selling point, and there is basically no beauty function.
As for some details, the Xiaomi Mi 12 and iPhone 13 both support stereoscopic dual yang, but the iPhone 13 uses the earpiece to produce sound, while the Xiaomi Mi 12 is a symmetrical dual speaker, and the stereo sound effect is more outstanding. Both phones have built-in X-axis linear motors and full-featured NFC. The Xiaomi Mi 12 has a practical feature of an infrared remote control.
Overall, this time the Xiaomi Mi 12 has some similarities with the iPhone 13 in terms of body size, and even has a better one-handed grip. While having a small body, it also takes into account large-capacity batteries and high-power fast charging to ensure sufficient endurance. Although the Xiaomi Mi 12 still has a certain gap with the iPhone 13 in individual areas such as screen resolution and processor, considering that the price difference between the two is also far away, the Xiaomi Mi 12 can keep up with the iPhone 13 in terms of experience.
