          Anonymous, 02 Jan 2022Virtually zero real life improvement over Xiaomi 11 series.... moreThink of it as the Samsung S20 to S21 minus the plastic back. And I wish Xiaomi really puts more effort on software. Can’t believe Xiaomi is not treating customers around the world equally by giving some versions of its ROM with lots of bloatware and adware but the rest doesn’t (Xiaomi doesn’t tell them this). Samsung is still better in terms of software but the Exynos chipset is a letdown and has quality control issues as of late.

          Also the Mi 11 had a motherboard issue due to the SD888 overheating where it can get damaged and then either bricked or won’t start at all. Mi 10 was good.

            Anonymous, 02 Jan 2022Virtually zero real life improvement over Xiaomi 11 series.... moreAgreed. It's embarrassing they used the 12 moniker for practically identical (in some aspects even inferior) phones to their predecessors. I hope Xiaomi doesn't go down the Realme route with successors that are actually inferior to their predecessors.

                    Both the 12 and the 12 Pro is equally awesome.

                        Xiaomi 12X is so good, I can't see why someone will choose other.

                          With pixel 6 giving better software experience, quite similar hardware capabilities (apart from soc) and cheap price as well, I don't see any reason to buy Xiaomi 12 if your region has pixel 6 available. Europe pricing for xiaomi 12 will be higher, so that's a problem as well.

                          Xiaomi 12X is fine, but redmi k40 pro+ is better.

                            Virtually zero real life improvement over Xiaomi 11 series. SD8G1 feels more or less like an overclocked SD888 which already had heating issues. inb4 "b-b-but the camera will be a massive generational upgrade" no it will not, and you know it.

                              Ugly curve screen

                                Im still sure there will be a mi 12 more.... Ultra or something and hopefully with a bigger battery... Untill this day i keep my mi 11 ultra.

                                  The Xiaomi 12 is just... Alright..

                                  The snap 8 gen 1 is gonna ruin basically every flagship out there because of heating and efficiency problems

                                  Cameras improvement are marginal/diminishing

                                  High refresh rates are now industry standard.. so nothing that stands out too much for this flagship
