Not long ago, the Xiaomi Mi 12 series new machine was launched. As a Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro user, the author wrote an article of brief comparison and analysis between the two according to the content of the conference, and the response was good after the release, and everyone's discussion was very positive. However, as the article said, at that time, the author had not yet got the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro real machine, so many conclusions were based on parameters and could not represent the mobile phone performance experience.
Fortunately, recently the author got a new machine, taking this opportunity to compare with the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro. Here we only focus on some of the parts that consumers are more concerned about as users, such as appearance, performance, image, battery life charging, etc., the following will enter the formal test link, interested friends may wish to take a look together.
01 Appearance: Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro feels thin and light, and the design adds points
If you win or lose in terms of appearance, this generation of Xiaomi 12 series can indeed play too much than Xiaomi 11 series, and I personally feel that there is even no need to compare. As the flagship of the new year, the appearance style of the Xiaomi 12 series has changed greatly, and although the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is not a small-size flagship like the standard version, the first feeling after getting started is still very pleasant.
Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro (left)/Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro (right) R-angle comparison
Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro adopts a mid-hole + double microsurface design, while Xiaomi 11 Pro uses the upper left punch + double microsurface, both of which have narrow borders, but the R corner of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro screen has always had a "small ear" exposed, at least in the author's opinion is very "eye-catching". Even after the phone has a shell, there will always be a black edge protruding here, which is quite unsightly and looks like it is not related to the high-end.
The Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro R corner "Little Ears" is almost gone
In contrast, although the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro did not completely abandon this "small ear" design, it also did a certain degree of narrowing, and if you don't look closely, the border even has a little iso-wide feeling, and the frontal vision is much more harmonious than the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro.
In terms of feel, although xiaomi 12 pro is not lightweight, it is 3-4g lighter than xiaomi 11 pro, and the thickness is slightly thinner, and the grip has been significantly improved.
In addition, the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro has more plain leather versions, compared to the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro full range of glass versions with more choices. We have this Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro in our hands with good texture, the details of the process is also acceptable, and there is not too much slot point, friends who like plain leather material mobile phones can brainlessly enter xiaomi 12 Pro. In the glass version, xiaomi 12 pro finally abandoned the bright design, but did a matte treatment on the glass back shell, the touch is warm and delicate, and it is not easy to stick fingerprints.
In terms of rear lens design, I personally think that Xiaomi 12 Pro is also better than Xiaomi 11 Pro, although the lens module of Xiaomi 11 Pro is very recognizable, but it is more designed for design, not how beautiful it is.
Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro returns to the list of common matrix module designs, and the lens and lens are also divided by a dividing line, which looks more neat and orderly, with a certain sense of design.
In terms of design and overall feel, Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro has a lighter body, a more delicate touch and a more high-quality industrial design, almost surpassing Xiaomi 11 Pro, which shows that the Xiaomi Mi 12 series has made great progress in design.
02 Performance: The Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro has a higher running score and a higher game frame count
Having said that, let's talk about performance.
In fact, there is nothing to say about the performance part, in this regard, the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is definitely far beyond the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro, after all, compared with the Snapdragon 888, the improvement of the new Snapdragon 8 is still very obvious, especially the GPU part, almost a qualitative upgrade.
Here is a first look at the two of the Rabbit Running Points:
It can be seen that the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro AnTu rabbit running score reached 943346 points, and the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro Antu rabbit running score was 714206 million. Specific to each individual item, the difference between the CPU part is nearly 30,000 points, and the gap between the GPU part is more obvious, and the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is about 150,000 points more than the Xiaomi 11 Pro.
With such a powerful GPU performance, the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro's game performance is theoretically stronger than that of the Mi 11 Pro. However, the actual situation may be more complicated, but also consider the mobile phone heat dissipation, system scheduling, etc., the real game performance needs to be tested to know. So, we went straight to the game testing session and verified it through the three games of Glory of Kings, Peace Elite and Original God.
The Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro Has an average frame rate of 106.4fps
The Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro Has an average frame rate of 98.8fps
The first is "Glory of Kings", in the 120 frame mode, the average frame rate of the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro fifteen-minute game reached 106.4fps, and the average frame rate of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro reached 98.8fps. From the frame rate point of view, when the fuselage temperature rises, the two adopt a similar strategy, Xiaomi 12 Pro can run full 120fps in the early stage, drop to 90fps in the later stage, and then will continue to switch between 90 and 120. The Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro can only run to 110fps in the early stage, and after the temperature rises, it will drop to 100fps, and then continue to drop to 90fps. In "Glory of kings", there is still some gap in the frame rate performance of the two, but the overall stability is not obvious, and the perception is not obvious in the actual playing process.
The Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro has an average frame rate of 59.3fps
The Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro Has an average frame rate of 59.2fps
Next is Peace Elite, at 90fps + smooth picture quality, the average frame rate of the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro fifteen-minute game reaches 59.3fps, and the average frame rate of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro reaches 59.2fps. The second half of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro fluctuates relatively violently, and although the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro has dropped frames from time to time, it is more stable overall than the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro.
The Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro has an average frame rate of 48.8fps
The Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro has an average frame rate of 27.2fps
The final highlight is left to "Original God", and from the perspective of the actual game experience, the gap between the two is still very large. At 60fps + extreme picture quality, from Mond City to LiyueGang, the average frame rate of xiaomi 12 pro games reached 48.8fps, and the average frame rate of xiaomi 11 pro games was only 27.2fps. "Original God" for the performance of the mobile phone performance is expected, but the game performance of the two mobile phones are not satisfactory, Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro although the frame rate is more stable, but less than 30 frames of the screen, play is indeed not very smooth. Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro stutters are also quite a few times, which shows that even if it is as strong as Snapdragon 8, there is still a lot of pressure to play "Original God" with full picture quality.
And the same as the appearance, the performance is basically not too suspenseful, Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is still beyond the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro, if you are the performance party, Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is definitely the first choice. However, from the actual experience, Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro performance is actually not weak, whether it is daily use or play games are more than enough, if you do not pursue the ultimate performance, choose Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro is no problem at all.
03 Image: Between the photo experience Bo Zhong, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro telephoto is stronger
The rear image is the large "controversial" part of this generation of Xiaomi 12 Pro, purely from the perspective of hardware parameters, Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is finally no longer stable Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro.
Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro rear lens configuration
Both use the rear triple camera scheme, Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro uses a wide-angle main camera + portrait main camera + ultra-wide-angle main camera of the basic configuration, are 50 million pixels, of which the wide-angle main camera uses Sony IMX707 wide-angle lens, this sensor is also one of Sony's top sensors, with a 1.28-inch oversized bottom. Portrait lenses support 2x light change and 20x digital zoom.
Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro rear lens configuration
However, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro is not bad, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro main camera is 50 million pixels, the sensor model is Samsung GN2, with a 1/1.12-inch super-large bottom; the ultra-wide angle lens is 13 million pixels, with an ultra-wide viewing angle of 123°, the telephoto lens is 8 million pixels, and supports 5x optical zoom and up to 50x digital zoom.
From the specification point of view, Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is still more balanced, the three lenses have reached the main camera level, but the telephoto compared to the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro does not rise and fall, from 5 times the light change to 2 times the light change, simply put, from shooting the long view to shooting portraits, which depends on personal trade-offs.
Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro/Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro Daytime Main Camera Sample Comparison
In a well-lit environment, the main camera of the two mobile phones is still very different. In the presentation of color, the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro picture is more vivid, the Mi 11 Pro picture is brighter, but in terms of details, the Mi 12 Pro is more analytical, the architectural details are clearer, and the edges of the buildings photographed by the Mi 11 Pro begin to appear blurry, and the imaging is not very stable. From the look and feel point of view, the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is better than the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro in terms of color saturation and dynamic range, and the look and feel of the photo is also better than that of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro.
Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro/Mi 12 Pro Night View Main Shot Sample Comparison
Compared with the second night sample, the brightness of the two mobile phones is very close, but in terms of details, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro is actually a little clearer than the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro, and the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro has obvious overexposure in the highlight. In fact, this generation of Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro focuses on improving the imaging speed of night scenes, which means that there is less time left for the phone to process night scenes, which may also be an important reason for the general performance of Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro night scenes.
Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro/Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro Daytime Ultra Wide Angle Sample Comparison
Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro/Mi 12 Pro Night View Ultra Wide Angle Sample Comparison
In terms of ultra-wide angle, Xiaomi 12 Pro, whether it is daytime or night, the overall look and feel is better than Xiaomi 11 Pro, first of all, in terms of daytime, Xiaomi 12 Pro's ultra-wide-angle sample color will still be more intense, the picture contrast is stronger, and the sense of atmosphere is better than that of Xiaomi 11 Pro. In terms of night scene imaging, the Xiaomi Mi 12Pro picture is brighter and the highlight suppression is in place, while the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro is somewhat overexposed, especially the light box in the distance, which has been unable to see the details.
Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro/Mi 12 Pro Night View 5X Telephoto Comparison
Telephoto sample part, under the 5X zoom, Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro is indeed better, the picture is clearer, and the details are very good. In contrast, Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro has a more eye-catching sense of smearing, the late traces are too heavy, it can be seen that there is a 5x optical zoom for the improvement of the phone's telephoto capability is still very significant, it is difficult to make up for it through high pixels.
Overall, Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro and Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro have won and lost each other in terms of photo comparison. Among them, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro has a significant advantage in telephoto, while the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is stronger in ultra-wide angle. As for the main camera, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro's night view is brighter, and the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro has better detail. However, because both are large outsoles and the amount of light intake is relatively sufficient, the preservation of dark details is relatively excellent. In addition, the overall color optimization of Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is strong, and the focusing experience is better than that of Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro.
04 Battery life: Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro charges faster and has a stronger battery life
Finally, the battery life, Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro supports 120W single cell fast charge and 50W wireless super fast charge, battery capacity 4600mAh. The Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro has a large 5000mAh battery built in and supports 67W wired fast charging and 67W wireless fast charging. Obviously, from the perspective of basic parameters, Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro and Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro have advantages over each other, so what about the actual performance?
In order to better show the endurance of the two, the author conducted a 5-hour battery life test on the two mobile phones:
(PS: in a unified environment, the two mobile phones start from 100% of the power in the measured standard mode, the current room temperature is 25 ° C, from 50% brightness, 50% volume, connect to the same WiFi, turn off Bluetooth positioning)
After 45 minutes of B station video playback, 50 minutes of Douyin short video playback, 45 minutes of Weibo, 30 minutes of 1080P camera recording, 50 minutes of WeChat chat, 20 minutes of Taobao, 60 minutes of "Glory of the King" a total of 5 hours of power consumption, Xiaomi 12 Pro's power finally remained 46%; Xiaomi 11 Pro's power was finally 39%.
From the results, although the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro battery capacity is smaller, the actual endurance is stronger than the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro. The reason for this result is also multifaceted. Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is equipped with Snapdragon 8, using E5 luminescent materials, and supports LTOP technology, the actual power consumption is lower than that of Xiaomi 11 Pro equipped with Snapdragon 888 and E4 luminescent materials, which will help extend the battery life.
In terms of charging, this part is basically no suspense, the 120W fast charge equipped with Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro can fill the entire phone in about 20 minutes, and 230mAh can be charged per minute. Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro in the 30 minutes of charging test, the first 20 minutes only rushed in 67%, 30 minutes a total of 88%, the actual minute can be charged 147mAh, in terms of charging efficiency, Xiaomi 12 Pro is indeed much faster.
Finally, there is something to say:
Through the above comparison, it is not difficult to find that the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro has indeed made some progress in performance, appearance, image, battery life, charging and other aspects, and has a certain improvement in the daily experience. It should be noted that the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro's leadership over the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro is not all-round, for example, in terms of wireless fast charge, battery capacity, telephoto lens and IP68, the Mi 11 Pro is actually a regression.
At present, the xiaomi 12 pro starting price of 4699 yuan, xiaomi 11 pro minimum 3649 yuan, there is a difference of about 1000 yuan, if you think that the experience improvement brought by the xiaomi 12 pro is more than 1000 yuan, or simply not bad money, hope to pursue the ultimate experience, there is no doubt that it is still recommended to start xiaomi 12 pro. Of course, if you just want to buy a flagship phone with a comprehensive configuration that is passable, not outdated, and as cheap as possible, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro of more than 3,000 yuan is obviously more cost-effective and worth choosing.
