Xiaomi Mi 12X, positioning problematic high-priced Snapdragon 870 phone

As a mobile phone listed on the last day of 2021, Xiaomi 12X did not bring much surprise, it is more like a downgraded version of Xiaomi 12, the back design is the same as Xiaomi Mi 12, and the CPU is reduced from the new generation of Snapdragon 8 mobile platform of Xiaomi Mi 12 to Snapdragon 870, which is less than 50W wireless charging and 10W wireless reverse charging compared to Xiaomi 12. From the price point of view, Xiaomi just wants to sell the Xiaomi 12X as a sub-flagship model, but under the siege of the Snapdragon 870 mobile phone of the real self, iQOO, OnePlus and other brands, the Xiaomi 12X has been tied to the hat of high price and low match.

From the perspective of hardware configuration, the performance combination of Snapdragon 870 + LPDDR5 memory + UFS 3.1 flash memory used by Xiaomi 12X belongs to the top of the Snapdragon 870 mobile phone, and the performance is fully capable of the use needs of the vast majority of people. In terms of cameras, Xiaomi 12X front 32 million pixel camera, the configuration is relatively high; rear 50 million pixel main camera + 5 million pixel macro lens + 12 million pixel ultra-wide angle lens, the main camera uses flagship sensor SONY IMX 766, providing a good guarantee for the imaging effect, but there is no telephoto lens, the other two camera hardware specifications are general.

Xiaomi Mi 12X uses a 6.28-inch super visual screen, supports 120Hz refresh rate, screen resolution of 2400 * 1080FHD, but the screen is not Samsung AMOLED material but domestic OLED material, which is also the place where some users complain. In terms of battery life, the Xiaomi Mi 12X has a built-in 4500 mAh battery, does not use a 5000mAh battery, but supports 67W wired fast charging. In addition, Xiaomi Mi 12X supports NFC, infrared remote control, Wi-Fi6, VC liquid cooling, built-in symmetrical stereo dual speakers and X-axis linear motors, etc., basically the functions are also available, but these hardware configurations are not much better than the same specifications of iQOO Neo5, True My GT Master Exploration Edition and other models.

As for why Xiaomi 12X dares to sell at a high price, my personal feeling is that Xiaomi wants to sell Xiaomi 12X as a sub-flagship, but not to mention Xiaomi's own Redmi K40 series, the price of Xiaomi 12X is more expensive than the same specifications of Snapdragon 888 mobile phone Xiaomi 11 is more expensive than one or two hundred yuan, but the performance configuration is obviously not as good as Xiaomi 11, it is difficult not to feel that Xiaomi 12X itself has a problem, so why xiaomi 12X does not reduce the price? I don't know, maybe I want to face it, after all, the products that have been listed for less than two months have reduced their prices to make people feel like they are learning Samsung.
