What is the practical combat ability of the Xiaomi Mi 12 series that has attracted much attention? Regarding the tuning of snapdragon 8, what kind of answer can Xiaomi hand over this time? Through the hands-on experience of this Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro, I hope to be able to share my personal feelings during this time with everyone, if I can help some small partners to choose difficulties when changing new machines, it will be a great honor.
First, the appearance and feel
The Xiaomi Mi 12Pro has four colors, black, blue, purple and green in AG glass. The blue model in my hand is a feeling of fine sand to the touch, the matte material is not easy to stick fingerprints, and I personally feel that it is better than the grip of the glossy surface, and it will not be "very slippery" in the hand. In order to obtain a stronger sense of unity, the middle frame also did a similar "flash sand" process on the fuselage.
The rear camera module, between each lens and the flash, cleverly uses the concept of flat typography design, three extremely thin lines cut open. Not as radical as the previous generation, but more easily accepted by most people, should be the result of careful deliberation after a deep understanding of consumer needs.
69.9mm width, 205g weight, the parameters are comparable to the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro, but the actual grip is better. Xiaomi Mi 12Pro is not only the width of the phone to pinch is very appropriate, the thickness and curvature of the middle frame are also controlled just right, held in the hand, the thumb is gently touched, even if the position of fingerprint recognition, personally feel very comfortable one-handed operation.
6.73-inch 2K screen, support 120Hz refresh rate, this time launched intelligent dynamic refresh rate technology. In actual experience, this function can only be effective in some system applications, and the refresh rate is maintained at about 10Hz when browsing static content, and the maximum 120Hz can be automatically reached in an instant when sliding the screen. After adapting to more applications, the experience should be better.
The openings on the fuselage are handled very smoothly, and the joint gaps between the screen, the middle frame and the back cover are difficult to perceive, and the sense of integration is good. One look is the result of working hard and crafting on the details.
Second, the performance experience
Although the Xiaomi Mi 12Pro did not grab the snapdragon 8 start this time, it also meant that more time was freed up for tuning. The process process has also been upgraded from the Samsung 5nm process process of the Snapdragon 888 to the 4nm process. The processor is also optimized for "top quality" and "ultra-high frame rate" games, taking into account the smoothness and power consumption of the game. This time, the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro Antu rabbit run scored 990,000 points, Geekbench single-core score 1156 points, multi-core score 3662 points.
The Snapdragon 888 Plus of the Xiaomi Mix 4 we used last September was 810,000 points. Geekbench single-core 1123 points, multi-core is 3378 points. Although the improvement of single-core scores is average, the improvement of multi-core scores is still relatively obvious.
How does the game perform?
We tried to play "Original God", in the case of turning on the performance mode, the picture quality was adjusted to the highest, the frame rate basically did not fluctuate, stable between 55-58 frames, and some simple scenes were running at 60 frames at full frame. During incentivized battles or when entering city dungeons, due to the large burden, there will be frame rate fluctuations, occasionally to about 50 frames. Under the highest quality of "Glory of Kings", the frame rate is set to 120FPS. Half-hour gameplay without stuttering. In the case of heat, there will be a warm feeling near the camera, but it will not be hot, and the personal feeling is improved compared to the previous generation of products.
Third, the camera experience
Rear camera combination, the main camera is Sony IMX707 sensor, 50 million pixels; the other is the Samsung JN1 sensor, 50 million pixel portrait lens; and then the 50 million pixel ultra-wide angle lens, is also the Samsung JN1 sensor. The biggest experience of actual use is that the imaging speed is faster, basically it is to press the shutter immediately after the film, especially the "night mode" is particularly obvious, pressing the shutter is almost 1 second out of the film feeling, there will be no longer that kind of "turning" and other seconds of the phenomenon.
Here are some samples I took
▲ The above is shot directly in normal mode, the overall feeling, xiaomi mi 12Pro camera perception of color is very keen, fully reflects its 1/1.28 inch outsole advantage.
▲ The main camera and ultra-wide angle contrast, the ultra-wide angle imaging effect is still good, the field of view is very open, and it is difficult to find distortion at first glance, and the picture quality is also very clear and sharp. The only minor flaw is that ultra-wide mode has a slightly lower saturation.
▲This was shot under conditions of heavy fog and visibility in Changsha. After shooting the building at an ultra-wide angle and upgrading it to 50MP, the picture quality has improved significantly, and the text engraved on the near building and the details of the clouds in the distant sky are very clear.
▲Rear-facing portrait
▲ There is no macro lens, above are three small doll ornaments taken in portrait mode, you can see the bokeh effect from the near and far layers of advance, very natural.
▲The resolution of the night scene is greatly improved, the picture is clean and refreshing, and the brightness and purity are quite in place. In extreme low light environments, you can also take bright photos, but the exposure should be slightly longer, and pressing the shutter requires holding the phone and waiting for 2-3 seconds. But the normal night scene, as long as it is slightly wide and visible to the naked eye, is the effect of the above picture; and press the shutter for 1 second to form a film, no need to wait. If you can improve the effect of highlight suppression a little, you are invincible.
When shooting video, the focus is very accurate and stable, now is an era where everyone can produce content, and the improvement of the Xiaomi Mi 12Pro camera is still quite in line with the needs of this era.
The picture below is a selfie sample, the Mi 12Pro front camera is 32 million pixels, equipped with pixel-level skin renewal technology, resolution and reproduction are guaranteed. Judging from the selfie sample, the picture is bright and the skin of the characters is warm and delicate. Zoomed in, a lot of the skin texture and facial detail are still there, so it will be more realistic.
Fourth, the sound quality experience
Personally, I think the external amplifier effect of Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is still worthy of the title of flagship, four-unit speaker, and there is a low-frequency unit and high-frequency unit at the top and bottom of the phone. The actual sense of listening, the sense of power of the bass is relatively sufficient, and the vocals are quite warm. Listening to the symphony can have a good sense of sound field, the layers are also very clear, and there will be no mixing.
Fifth, battery and battery life
Xiaomi Mi 12Pro is equipped with a 4600mAh single-cell large battery, which has a higher energy density than dual-cell batteries, so the thickness of the fuselage is still relatively thin. This time there is no need to buy additional chargers, randomly equipped with 120W Gallium nitride charger, Xiaomi spent a lot of money to build the P1 chip is finally practical. With the timer to monitor a bit, the mobile phone is out of power, please, 5 minutes can charge to about 30%, speed mode 20 minutes can be fully charged.
It is also worth mentioning in the system optimization that MIUI 13 has improved whether it is the opening speed of the application, the fluency of the animation, the follow-up of the operation or the retention rate of the background application.
In general, the Xiaomi Mi 12Pro is indeed the right direction this time, whether it is faster camera speed, smoother game experience, more powerful video shooting capabilities, or painstaking efforts in battery research and development and fast charging technology, are digging deeper along their core advantages. It may not be radical enough, but it has a little more stability and patience, at least, the Spring Festival new machine time period is quite competitive.
