The Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro's target is the iPhone 13 Pro Max, which is the biggest change in this year's Xiaomi digital series, and the first time Lei Jun has publicly benchmarked Apple's home model. So how does the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro actually perform? I have been using it for a week now, so let's take a closer look at it.
For the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro, the benchmark iPhone 13 Pro Max is not only in the mouth, but also in action. For example, the same dynamic frequency conversion technology as the iPhone 13 Pro series maintains fluency while taking into account power consumption. And there are many black technologies on the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro, such as the Xiaomi Surging P1 self-developed chip, the 120W single-cell wired fast charge, the world's first Sony IMX707 sensor and so on. These are the premise of the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro super high experience, of course, good ingredients can make a good dish? The answer is no, so this time the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is light and heavy on the experience.
A rare sense of refinement
The first feeling I got when I got the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro was that Lei Jun was in the right direction this time, because this model finally had a sense of refinement. Unlike the previous digital series, it always gives people a feeling that cannot be said, but it lacks a sense of refinement. This is the first step in benchmarking the iPhone, because the exquisite feeling of any iPhone, regardless of its product strength, has always been the benchmark of the industry.
The front of the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro features a micro-curved screen + center punch design. The biggest change is that the R angle has a difference between heaven and earth from the previous generation (the disadvantage of the four-curved screen) And the overall look is very comfortable, not as abrupt as the previous generation.
It should be noted that the earpiece of the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro adopts a micro-seam design, which cannot be seen if you do not look closely, and the integrity is very good.
The back of the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro has changed a design style, and the traditional matrix is different from the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro in the form of a grid to divide the cameras and flashes into different areas, look at each for each other but for a whole. As for whether it looks good or not, it all depends on the personal aesthetic, because there is no standard for beauty and ugliness.
The individual got the plain leather version, which is very comfortable to hold in the hand. It is that everyone said that the feel is very good, and here we need to give you a clear problem. A mobile phone feel good is not simply light, thin, but also need to consider the process, material, design and other factors, only the perfect integration of these factors together to create a good feel of the model. Just like the iPhone 13 series, do you see it feels? When that right-angle border is enough for you.
Finally, I really need to praise Xiaomi, please look carefully at this bottom, the center of all the opening dots is on a line, which may be the biggest improvement. Of course, there is no perfect thing in this world, Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro due to the design language changed from the machine and the bottom of the fuselage is thicker, but in reality it is not like this. Here directly say what NFC, infrared, symmetrical double Yang, which is an ancestral one for Xiaomi can not be less, and its sound quality is excellent there is an immersive feeling, I don't believe you can go to the line to experience it.
Finally, to tell you a point, Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is a standard 120W charger...
About performance
Personally measured several times, AnTutu scored about 1.03 million, sometimes higher, sometimes lower. In fact, for performance individuals, due to the different situations used by each person, ordinary users generally do not feel the gap. Only a slightly knowledgeable friend or a knowledgeable friend can feel it through the test, and I will not talk about it here.
Because individuals don't play games much, they simply tested the most popular mobile games, what king glory, what original gods, etc., there is no problem, and Snapdragon 8 is finally not hot. But if you play extremely, you will still get hot, which is the common problem of the Snapdragon 8 platform. But to say that the hot hand is really a bit too much, reaching the temperature of the ground mobile phone itself will not be able to bear.
For the first time, the Android camp can beat the iPhone
Here to say a digression Android camp led by three years, and finally the iPhone 13 Pro series came out directly back to the original form. What I said to me was a high refresh rate screen, which has to say that the Android camp sometimes rushes to run is not a good thing.
So many people like the Android camp can use the screen technology of the iPhone 13 Pro series, and the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is exactly that. Its overall screen quality is higher than the iPhone 13 Pro, 2K resolution, E5 luminescent materials, the second generation of LTPO, etc., these cold parameters are not one by one, we still have that sentence How does the ingredients taste like the last dish?
The Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro's screen optimization aspects are similar to the iPhone 13 Pro's ProMotion, which enables shifting speed in swipes. Combined with different usage scenarios, it automatically adapts to different refresh rates, and the dynamic adjustment is more sensitive. It should be noted that this point users can not feel in daily use, which is the advantage of the second generation of LTPO technology, in your unconscious dynamic change, in order to achieve the purpose of power saving.
But LPTO has a very complex amount of technology, and if you want to make it clear, don't talk about digital players, even professionals are difficult to express in the vernacular. So everyone remembers one thing Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro's daily use of the sliding experience is similar to the iPhone 13 Pro series, and the principle of power saving is basically the same.
About taking pictures
The Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is the world's first Sony IMX707 sensor, and the three main cameras are all 50 million pixels. The other two are Samsung JN1 sensors, and surprisingly Xiaomi is finally starting to enter the portrait track. Because the front of the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro was upgraded to 32 million pixels, it adopted the same beauty technology of Xiaomi Civi, and more importantly, a 50 million pixel professional portrait lens on the rear.
This time, Xiaomi completely rewrote the bottom layer of the image, realizing the fastest way for the Android camp to turn on the camera, take pictures, and shoot continuously. I believe that this point has been understood before, and I was really frightened after I got started, and I didn't expect it to be so fast. More importantly, under the mode of turning on the night scene, we no longer have to wait for basically seconds to come out.
There is also the focus-catching technology based on CyberDog, which is really easy to use. Especially for ordinary users, what sports capture, what bear children do not cooperate with that is not a matter.
As for taking pictures of samples, I don't have to be on it, because everyone has a different aesthetic view of this stuff, plus it is too affected by ambient light. I just want to say that what can meet your own needs is a good mobile phone, and you may not be able to shoot it if you see others shoot well.
The surging P1 must be emphasized
Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro broke the industry convention and achieved a breakthrough of zero in the fast charging industry. Because this 100-watt fast charge is a dual-cell solution, and the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is a single-cell solution, which is the first in the industry to achieve a single cell to reach 120W. Mainly derived from Xiaomi's self-developed surging P1 power management chip, according to professionals, this kind of power chip research and development is much more difficult than isisP, and the investment is more.
Measured in the information screen mode, xiaomi mi 12 pro only takes 18 minutes to fill, personally want to talk about this is 0-100 speed. In reality, no one will use the mobile phone to automatically shut down (except for special circumstances), under normal circumstances, it can be fully charged in more than 10 minutes. Therefore, the daily use of face washing, brushing teeth and other fragments of time is enough, no longer need to find charging time for mobile phones.
As for the battery life of the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro, I personally want to talk about using it with confidence, and there is no problem in using it for a day.
About MIUI 13
MIUI 13 actually has not changed much in terms of functionality, that is, it has added widget functions, and it is very rich, just like the previous MIUI theme store. The biggest change in MIUI 13 is that it is stable and smooth, and it is gradually moving towards the Internet of Everything, such as the Magic Enjoyment function. General users only pay attention to stability and fluency, while Xiaomi smart home users pay more attention to the wonderful enjoyment, and if you want to talk about the magic enjoyment function that has lasted for more than a year, it can finally be used, which is very convenient.
Say something off-topic
How the overall performance of the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is, I personally think that the Android camp finally has a model that can compete with the iPhone 13 Pro. Its machine concept is actually the same as Apple's, and everything is premised on user experience. Let users forget the parameters and pay attention to realistic performance. This also means that Xiaomi is no longer so aggressive, of course, the show muscles still need to show (surging P1). Abandoning some of the bells and whistles of useless features and letting the experience return is the biggest change of the Xiaomi Mi 12 series. More importantly, Xiaomi has finally begun to pay attention to the sense of refinement and pay attention to all aspects of the experience.
Of course, no one is perfect, gold is not enough, and the machine is not finished. There is nothing perfect in this world, only infinitely close to perfection. For Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro, under the premise of increasing the amount, it is actually a price reduction, if you have the needs, you can consider it completely, it is really not possible to experience it offline.
