In the article released by the Xiaomi 12 series two days ago, the brother promised some friends to arrange a review of the Xiaomi 12 series.
Well, everyone's messages and questions, the machine brother has seen.
Without much beep, today's topic is one:
Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro hands-on experience
Appearance to get started
In fact, the appearance part is not much to say, everyone has seen the conference, and there should be a general judgment on its appearance.
This part of the machine brother, it is mainly to give you a chat about the feeling of getting started.
Now, xiaomi 12 pro has a total of four colors, and the machine brother got a purple version this time.
8.16mm thickness, 205g weight.
Holding it in your hand is certainly not related to the word "light and thin".
But in the flagship machine, this thickness and weight is actually OK.
Like black and blue, the back cover is also made of AG glass. But one thing is different, the purple version uses the flash sand process.
There will be some subtle graininess on the back cover, and there will be a slight glittering feeling when encountering light.
By the way: this time the metal frame is also frosted, and finally does not stick fingerprints.
The design of this camera module is also a point of concern for many people.
As for whether it looks good or not.
The machine brother took a group of comparisons with xiaomi 11 pro, and everyone judged it by themselves:
front...
(Front Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro; Rear Mi 12 Pro)
After a brief chat about the appearance part, let's go straight to the inside of it.
screen
The Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro uses a 2K+120Hz Samsung E5 hyperboloid screen.
Hardware quality is nothing to say, the standard of the top flagship in 2022.
What the machine brother is most concerned about is this LTPO2.0, whether there is any change in the end.
There really is such a test.
For example, with 120Hz turned on, the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro desktop will automatically drop to 10Hz after standing for 2-3 seconds.
But as soon as the phone is touched again, the screen will immediately cut back to 120Hz.
Station B is also similar, standing for 2-3 seconds to switch to 60Hz.
Touch again and switch back to 120.
The benefit of this setting is simple, ensuring smooth use while achieving a power-saving effect.
That is to say, Android's LTPO is finally no longer AN LTPO.
performance
Let's go through its core hardware first:
Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, Full Blood Version LPDDR5, Full Blood Version UFS3.1.
Because last year's Snapdragon 888 was too "hot" performance, the machine brother is also looking forward to how this Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 performs.
Entertainment rabbit running sub-points, Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro on a million is very easy.
But you know, the running score is also a lot of fun.
The following is directly on the "League of Legends mobile game", "Glory of the King", "Original God" three-piece test.
The first is the "League of Legends Mobile Game", which has just opened up the 90-frame mode recently, in the mode of full picture quality + 90 frames.
Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro a game down, the frame rate curve is still very stable.
In addition, when the game enters the game and selects the hero interface, it will also play the characteristics of LTPO2.0 again, automatically reducing the refresh rate to 60 frames to reduce power consumption.
After correcting this part of the data, the average frame rate is 88.09 frames.
"Glory of the King" because it supports 120 frames, the same brother, also arranged it to HD +120 frame mode.
Average frame rate 118.52, one word: stable.
It seems that the challenges of these two games are still a bit insufficient.
Come, on "Original God".
With the "Extreme Mode + Performance Mode" enabled, the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro can basically be above 55 frames in the first 15 minutes.
Although the fluctuation of the frame rate in the next 15 minutes began to increase, the final average frame rate was still 54.4 frames.
As for the fever, it is actually fine.
The brother took out the ancestral temperature gun and measured it.
The maximum temperature on the front and back of the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is 43.1 degrees and 42.6 degrees, respectively.
To completely conquer the Original God, the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro really can't do it.
However, compared with the Snapdragon 888 models previously tested by the starting brother, there is still progress.

As we all know, since the impact of the high-end "generation" Xiaomi Mi 10, the main camera of the Xiaomi flagship is a Samsung sensor.
The brother originally thought that the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro would continue to use the previous generation of Samsung GN2.
No. This time Xiaomi and Sony got an IMX707, 1/1.28-inch outsole.
In order to verify the performance of this new main camera, the machine brother found the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra and competed with it.
PS: Compare the whole process to auto mode + turn on auto HDR + turn off AI.
During the day, the two mobile phones shoot the sky in a relatively saturated style.
But the photos taken by the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro are a little more tolerant
Pay attention to the part of the white wall opposite, the picture taken by the machine brother in this big noon sun.
In contrast, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra shot a bit like a cloudy day.
This group of Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra takes advantage of the larger amount of light entering the GN2.
but... It still feels too bright, a little white.
The brother personally still prefers the texture of the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro.
Coming to the night scene, the comparison of the two mobile phones is actually a win-lose situation.
Take this group, for example.
The high-light suppression of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra is very violent, and it has the texture of a night scene.
The Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is bright overall, but the light tag is a little bluish.
This group...
Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra's highlight suppression is a bit overdone, the overall look and feel, the machine brother still prefers the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro a little.
One is the big brother who has been polishing for half a year, and the other is the new flagship that has just used the new CMOS.
To tell the truth, the machine brother originally thought that the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro should be pressed to the ground and rubbed.
As a result, I patted it back and forth, and found that the whole did not lose.
And the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro takes pictures faster, clicks out of the film, and the software experience is much better.
Note: Even if night mode is triggered, the 12 Pro will not circle.
If it had a top-of-the-line periscope telephoto, it would probably be killed.
Unfortunately not.
(5X casual shooting, can only say that there is no comparison)
system
In addition to the hardware, MIUI 13 changes, there are also some worth talking about.
The machine brother has used it these days, and the fluency is indeed quite smooth, and no bugs have been found.
But to say that one of the most favorite new features of the machine brother, it must be the mobile phone and the tablet, which can finally be coordinated.
XDM, put "tears" on the public screen.
After the mobile phone and tablet are upgraded to MIUI 13, turn on Bluetooth, and you can automatically connect without feeling when you get closer.
Now, you can see that the dock bar of the tablet will automatically appear in the icon of the mobile app after connecting.
Click on it and the phone screen will be projected.
If you watch videos with IYoteng, the tablet click can also achieve seamless relay.
The tablet screen continues to watch, and the phone automatically pauses.
One thing to say, this function is really easy to use.
I hope that MIUI will increase its efforts to get Xiaomi Miaoxiang out quickly.
At last
Finally, limited by the length of the relationship, there is no way to talk about all aspects of the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro here.
For example, fast charging, Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is also quite strong.
120W wired, less than 20 minutes to charge to 100%.
As for battery life.
It is estimated that it is also due to the role of LTPO2.0.
The 4600mAh battery is a little more durable than the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra's 5000mAh.
But to say regret, it is not nothing.
Like the telephoto mentioned earlier, and this generation also has no IP68.
I guess these, should be left to the back of the Xiaomi Mi 12 Ultra to make up, right?
