Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro has been in hand for a while, every time you feel that the experience is almost over, you will receive a new system update reminder, MIUI 13's biggest feeling at present is that the update is much faster.
I have been using 11 Ultra for the past six months, and the overall impression is still good. Xiaomi has a very folk saying that I don't know how many people have heard, that is, the product model is even more worthwhile than the singular, it is easy to understand, Xiaomi 6, Xiaomi 10s, Xiaomi MIX4, etc. It is a good model to sell.
So this makes me have a higher expectation for the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro, after a few days of Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro, my feeling is that the overall experience of the 11 Ultra has been significantly improved, but less of the amazing feeling when I got the 11 Ultra. Of course, this is not a professional review in itself, so it is for reference only.
Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is not as recognizable as the previous generation, my 11 Ultra even with a shell, others will take it and stroke it when they see the obviously raised lens module, and the 12 Pro has not attracted much attention from people around. But the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro looks a lot better, and I personally think it's the best-looking Xiaomi phone.
What I got was black, and it was black and not black at all, it was that kind of dark gray. I have always liked high-grade gray, I will think that the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro black, blue, purple, green four colors are not ugly, of course, I like that blue the most. This black makes the already less recognizable 12 Pro more low-key.
The back cover of this AG frosted glass, overall very textured and not easy to leave fingerprints, which is more advanced than the 11 Ultra, but it is still too slippery. The biggest problem with the 11 Ultra is that the head is very heavy, the fuselage is very slippery, and it always feels like falling down when you hold it in your hand. The Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is better than the head is not so heavy, but it is still recommended to use it with a shell.
The 205-gram phone weighs a lot better than the 234g 11 Ultra handheld experience, especially when watching videos with one hand.
Xiaomi Mi 12Pro came out with its own film praise, I have been not good at pasting the film of the curved screen, so it is convenient. But unfortunately, the film is not pasted along the side of the screen, touching the screen will still have the feeling of paddling, and it will be much better after the shell.
In addition, the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro grip is still very good, it is recommended to go to the store to touch it yourself. Nor did I use the 11 Ultra to send some reminders to the leader of the society who was always easy to touch by mistake.
Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro this 6.73-inch E5 material Samsung 2K screen display effect is still relatively excellent. The resolution is 3200X1440, but the default is 2400X1080, it is recommended to modify it to 3200X1440 to get a better display effect. It is also recommended to turn on video quality enhancement, dynamic picture compensation, etc., for a better experience, but it may be more expensive.
This screen also supports 120Hz screen high brushing, supporting intelligent dynamic refresh adjustment. For example, 30Hz when sending voice, 60Hz when typing, 120Hz when brushing Weibo... The advantage is to make the screen of the mobile phone more power-efficient. However, at present, this dynamic refresh is only achieved by some APPS, and it is expected that more APPS can be adapted in the future. And the lock screen interface is also 120Hz, which is estimated to be a bug.
The signal of the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is obviously much better than that of the 11 Ultra, I like to pick it repeatedly, and every store with the 11 Ultra on the subway will load for a while, and it takes half an hour to order a takeaway. The 12 Pro doesn't signal as well as on the street, but loads pages significantly faster.
In addition to loading faster, the smoothness of the entire system is also significantly improved, the animation is more delicate, and the transition animation continuity of opening and closing applications is stronger and smoother. Except for sliding left to the negative screen occasionally jammed, but it's already a lot better. At the beginning, there was no smoothness, and when I used it on the first day, I often failed fingerprint recognition, and I often stuck it unsureally. After the system is updated twice, it is much smoother.
The headphone connection is also much more reliable. I use the 11 Ultra to connect flipBuds Pro, often the headset belt ear waits for a long time before the phone is connected, and when watching the video, as long as you jump out to answer the phone or lock the screen and then unlock, the video will not make a sound. 12 Pro can't even hear the first half of the flipBuds Pro every time he plays the video, but the overall experience is much more stable.
Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro can finally play the glory of the king of 120 frames, before the 11 Ultra opened 120 frames, I tried for half a day for the first time and found that the highest 71 frames. Of course, 12 Pro wants to experience 120 frames and needs to turn on performance mode + extreme mode, and normal mode is locked at 60 frames. League of Legends mobile game experience 90 frames also need to open the performance mode + extreme mode, normal mode is locked at 55 frames.
The performance mode is still relatively easy to find, the setting point saves points and the battery can be seen, but the switch of this extreme mode is hidden very deeply, you need to click the MIUI version number several times in all parameters, and then turn down in the developer options to find this extreme mode, and each switch has to be found in the developer options for half a day.
After opening the performance mode + extreme mode, it will obviously feel more power consumption and hotner body, and the cooling back clip for a better game experience is still "always available at home".
The 4600mAh battery is not as big as the 11 Ultra's 5000mAh battery, but the two machines have about the same battery life in my hands. I full power state began to use at 7 o'clock in the morning, commuting time in addition to scanning the code is to see the news, brush Weibo, shopping e-commerce app, in the office back to WeChat, play two games at noon, around 2 o'clock 11 Ultra will run out of power, 12 Pro can last until 3 o'clock. So for me, who loves to play with mobile phones, I have to charge it once in the morning and once in the afternoon. Anyway, there is a 120W wired fast charge, the problem is not big.
I used the Note 11 Pro+ to last until around 7 p.m. without battery. But after all, the screen display effect is not a level.
120W wired fast charger is a feature that is difficult to return. Measured 22 minutes full, much faster than the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra's 67W.
In the past, I charged my mobile phone before going to bed, and if I forgot to go to work the next day and take the subway, I didn't dare to play with my mobile phone casually. With 67W fast charge, you can charge your mobile phone at night the next day and go back to sleep. And 120W brushing your teeth, washing your face and changing clothes is enough time to fill, and then you look at the iPhone next to you with a fast charge and charge 30%.
I am a person with battery anxiety, when the battery is not 100% when going out, it will be very uncomfortable, especially when the day will be off work, I can't care about charging. Of course, it is not necessary to need this 120W, my daughter-in-law's approach is to tell me to carry the charging treasure, so I developed the habit of carrying the charging treasure every day. If you are willing to go out with a 120W charger at any time, then just find a café and you may queue up for an order time to fill up, and the charging treasure is saved.
Taking pictures of the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro and the 11 Ultra is definitely a loss compared to the picture quality, after all, there is no periscope telephoto lens.
The real shots of the two phones I took completely with the default shooting mode. Whether it's you or I certainly have a way to shoot better, this is just to show the difference in imaging more intuitively.
I don't feel like there's a uniform standard for judging photos, so I'll just say how I feel. Unlike you, it's all you' right.
The difference in clarity is not large if the main camera is not enlarged, especially if you send a circle of friends Weibo, it is even less obvious. The 11 Ultra looks brighter in color, while the 12 Pro is much more intense. Of course, this is not important for young people who are going to be in the later stages anyway.
The 11 Ultra's 128° wide angle is significantly wider than the 12 Pro's 115° wide angle, and of course the object deformation is more severe.
10x telephoto quality has a noticeable drop. Comparatively speaking, the difference is more obvious, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra telephoto performance is not bad, and the 12 Pro has a more obvious sense of smearing. The 11 Ultra's image quality is better, but it is normal, after all, there is one more periscope telephoto lens. It is not practical, I feel that it varies from person to person, every time I use 11 Ultra to shoot "big pants", I will feel that the telephoto picture quality is really good, but in the past six months, because of the epidemic, I basically did not go anywhere, so I basically did not use telephoto. And I really endured the weight of 234g for half a year. So I suggest that you seriously consider whether you are really willing to endure the weight of 234g for the sake of image quality improvement.
The Night View Xiaomi 11 Ultra and 12 Pro performed well. The 11 Ultra still looks brighter, and the 12 Pro is much more vibrant. When shooting night scenes, it is recommended to shoot in night mode, the effect is better.
Although the picture quality of the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro did not take advantage, but the photo experience is much better.
Compared to the 11 Ultra, the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro has made significant improvements in focus speed, imaging speed, and smoothness of the camera app. The moment the shutter is pressed, the album preview screen is immediately displayed. Night mode feeling is more obvious, 11 Ultra to take a night mode photo, press the shutter need to remain still until the progress bar around the shutter runs a full circle, while waiting for another 1, 2 seconds to preview the album will be displayed, and 12 Pro can do instant display.
It's a pity that the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro castrated the IP68 waterproof function, although I am usually more careful outdoors and next to the pool, but I am still afraid of it. At the same time, there is no "extremely advanced" 3.5mm headphone jack. There is no 512GB version, I have always thought that 256GB is enough, but my 512GB 11 Ultra has a lot of 10 GB of movies, and the 256GB Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro does not dare to put down so much.
So the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro has improved a lot in the experience, but there is also a mysterious Xiaomi Mi 12 Ultra on the top that feels that the 12 Pro is less amazing.
Of course, you think that the Xiaomi MIX4 is more than 3000 more than the 12 Pro value that is more than you are right, you think the Xiaomi 12X is more valuable after all, the 870 is the "real flagship" that is also your right, you think this price you would rather add some money to buy the iPhone 13 is your right.
