    Entirely a preference thing but - central dots irk me big time. Stick it off to the side where it's easily forgotten. I don't think under display camera's are worth it yet, huge quality drop

      507AMS, 28 Dec 2021do you know the official pricing of S22 lineup??? it seems ... moreSamsung manufactures almost every single component in this phone. Guess who'll be able to squeeze the price the most? Just look at what they did with the Flip3 vs the competition.
      The only way Xiaomi will be able to compete price-wise is by selling these expensive phones at a massive loss or learn to build stuff themselves.

        YUKI93, 28 Dec 2021Seems like Snapdragon 870 is still here to stay for a littl... moreIt's the Samsung jn1 for the ultrawide and telephoto. Same ultrawide as the moto x30. The 1.28um is the binned pixel size

              Also, secondary sensor on the 12 Pro is the JN1 since JN1 pixel binned is 1.28um

                    The IMX707 prediction was right but it was on the wrong phone

                      Raky, 28 Dec 2021They are, perfectly ok devices...but it will cost cost as m... moreTrue.

                        Anders, 28 Dec 2021So the Xiaomi 12 is a downgrade over the Mi 11 in terms of ... moreIt's less expensive and got a SD 8 Gen1, go check Mi 11 and Mi 11 Pro launch price before talking...

                          So the Xiaomi 12 is a downgrade over the Mi 11 in terms of display, resolution dropped from 1440p to 1080p and it's much smaller too. It's also had a downgrade in the main camera yet it's more expensive?

                          Smartphones suck so much these days

                            Everything boring after p50p, even though 12's got the greatest value right now.

                              Raky, 28 Dec 2021They are, perfectly ok devices...but it will cost cost as m... moreAt launch the Mi 11 was 800€ where I live for the 256GB storage, and seeing the downgrades and lower price of the 12 in China, it could be 700-750€, clearly not the price of an iPhone 13(910€ for 128 GB) or 13 Pro(1160€ for 128 GB).
                              And 256 GB storage options of these iPhones would cost even more, 1030€ for the iPhone 13, 1280€ for the Pro.
                              Maybe prices are different where you live...

                                Hills od, 28 Dec 2021Fact mate... I am so disappointed, those pricing for the sm... moredo you know the official pricing of S22 lineup??? it seems your dissapointment will be higher

                                  With apple at least you're getting 5 years of support and even after 3 years, you still can sell used phone (there is a market for it).
                                  Buying Xiaomi means that you are throwing away your money.

                                    Non pro looks nice, finally smaller phone after years, now make a version without hole in the display, They already did it with poco f2 pro, mi9t/k20 and mix4, so if only they could remmber how they did it.

                                        The SD 870 is not that great, the SD 8 Gen1 seems like a great chip, power efficiency is close to Apple A15 based on Golden Reviewer.
