When the 2020 Xiaomi 11 series was released, Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun shouted out the slogan of "believe in beauty, light loading", but after experiencing this year, everyone found that the Xiaomi 11 series was actually not so beautiful, on December 28, 2021, the Xiaomi 12 series arrived as promised, and the slogan this time was relatively simple, only a simple 3 words "faster and more stable".
In the past year, because Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 is really not powerful, Xiaomi 11 series in the fast aspect, has not played a real strength, this time Xiaomi 12 series released a total of three models, due to some special reasons, we only got the "Android new machine emperor" Xiaomi 12Pro this model. As Xiaomi's first mobile phone product, what will happen to the Xiaomi Mi 12 series equipped with the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8Gen1 processor?
First, the appearance
Compared with Xiaomi 11Pro, the front camera of Xiaomi 12Pro moved from the upper left corner to the middle, if we do not light up the screen, it looks like there is actually little difference between the two, the back of the fuselage, Xiaomi 12Pro did not continue the design of last year's Xiaomi 11 series, the lens module was changed to a large and two small layout, it looks a bit like a plus 9Pro, the actual look is more coordinated than the Camera Module of the Xiaomi 11 series, it looks better, but the thickness of the camera module is more terrifying.
Second, the screen
Xiaomi Mi 12Pro is equipped with a 6.73-inch screen, using the luminous material of Samsung E5, supporting LTPO 120Hz adaptive high brush, resolution up to 3200 * 1440, and has a peak brightness of 1500nit and Dolby Vision. We all know that the ProMotion refresh experience on the iPhone13Pro is very good, Xiaomi's LTPO is not weak, perhaps in the field of Android mobile phones, it is the first screen to achieve intelligent dynamic refresh rate of sliding speed, it can automatically adjust the intelligent speed according to the sliding operation and animation, but because this function has just been released, there are not many suitable applications, and now only some of the applications that Xiaomi comes with can be realized.
In addition, the screen of Xiaomi Mi 12Pro also uses micro-Lens microprism design, with the blessing of this function, it can increase the display brightness of the mobile phone screen in the case of the same power consumption, which has great benefits for watching HDR videos.
Third, performance
Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8Gen1 processor, the specific parameters we will not go into detail to say, it is estimated that there are not many to understand, then its performance compared to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 Xiaomi Mi 11Pro has not improved? In the two-hour King of Glory and native games, the difference in actual use experience is not very obvious, but in terms of power consumption and heat, the Xiaomi Mi 12Pro is obviously better, and the power consumption is also a little lower.
4. Images
Every time a mobile phone new product conference is held, as long as the image part is a variety of various reading parameters, it is really sleepy, but this is indeed what most consumers are more concerned about. I have to say that this Xiaomi Mi 12Pro in terms of image upgrade is very large, the first time equipped with Sony IMX707 sensor, 1/28 outsole, support OIS optical image stabilization, three lenses are 50 million pixels, in addition to the main camera, there is a telephoto lens, the aperture to F/1.9; the other lens is an ultra-wide angle lens, the aperture to F/2.2.
After simply saying the parameters we said experience, the biggest improvement in the image of this Xiaomi Mi 12Pro is to take pictures, in the camera start speed and night shooting speed to improve a lot, the stickiness when taking pictures is almost gone, even if you press the shutter very quickly and continuously, you can also instantly take pictures, completely meet the needs of daily use of the hand shot.
Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro focus has also been greatly improved, autofocus is very accurate, as if it can understand the owner's intentions, always the first time to focus to the place where the owner needs, even if the light is not good, its focus performance is also very good, open the auto focus method is also very simple, just double-click the screen, the camera can automatically lock the object that wants to focus.
The daily photo experience is even more difficult to xiaomi 12Pro, this time xiaomi's tuning is very different from xiaomi 11Pro, when shooting scenery, the color taken is more intense, the flowers will appear very gorgeous, very pleasing to the eye, the tolerance of the picture is also more relaxed, and the sense of atmosphere is very strong.
Xiaomi 11Pro equipped with the "Night Owl algorithm" in the evening effect is very good, this time Xiaomi on the "Night Owl algorithm" upgraded again, the threshold of the trigger than the Millet 11Pro raised a lot, will only be triggered in a very dark place, usually even if it is shooting at night, it is basically a normal shooting mode, of course, the reason for Xiaomi to do this can also be understood, after all, the "Night Owl Algorithm" has high requirements for the stability of the hand, if it is often triggered, it is not very convenient to use.
Fifth, the system
MIUI12 was scolded for a year, I think no one is more depressed than MIUI R & D personnel, Xiaomi 12Pro debuted with the latest version of MIUI13, from the interface point of view, with MIUI12.5 enhanced version of the change is not much, these days of use, indeed than MIUI 12.5 enhanced version to be much smoother, although occasionally there is a little stutter, but basically can be ignored.
It is worth mentioning that Xiaomi has added a lot of desktop widgets for MIUI13, such as shortcut functions, weather, travel, etc., and has also made a variety of widget forms for some other applications, users can personalize the settings according to their preferences, and the convenience has also been improved. MIUI13 is more like the patched version of MIUI12.5 enhanced version, there is no major change in functionality, mainly based on stability, MIUI R & D team finally understands the real needs of consumers.
6. Battery life
Xiaomi 12Pro this time equipped with 120W single-cell super fast charging, while Xiaomi also equipped its debut with a self-developed surging P1 charging chip, basically in about 20 minutes can be charged from 0% to 100%, in addition to it also supports 50W wireless fast charging and 10W reverse charging, basically to the top.
7. Summary
Did the Xiaomi Mi 12Pro achieve the "faster and more stable" mentioned at the conference? At present, the perception is not very strong, but stability is really stable. We see that Xiaomi did not blindly stack parameters this time, but put a lot of effort into the experience, and it can also be seen that Lei Jun's ambition and determination to learn from Apple against the standard Apple.
Overall, the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is not surprising, perhaps for the xiaomi mi 12 Ultra to have reservations, but one thing is very certain, that is, the mi 12 pro is a good phone that is very well worth buying. At present, Xiaomi seems to have suddenly found the right path, and also took its own first step, after Huawei is restricted, Xiaomi is the most promising mobile phone brand to carry the banner of domestic mobile phones, hoping that in the future it can maintain the current pace of development, steadily move forward, and complete the ultimate goal of global shipments as soon as possible.
