Weekly poll results: Xiaomi 12 Pro well loved, its two siblings remain in its shadow

09 January 2022
While the Mi 11 had a large 6.81" screen, this year Xiaomi tried something different for the vanilla model - 6.28" - and it didn't pan out.

impinas, 09 Jan 2022The only reason the 12 remains in the shadow is that it is ... moreI can agree about Apple as they got the whole idea right. Both 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max are the same two except for the screen size.

    I really can't see the point of the 12X with its Poco F3-like specs. If Xiaomi market the 12X as the smaller version of the 12 with the same internal hardware specs, that could be a different story altogether. Xiaomi can make the 12X with a smaller 6.28" screen while keeping the Mi 11's 6.81" screen unchanged for the 12. It seems like Apple and Sony still got the formula right. The current 13 Pro/13 Pro Max and Xperia 1 Mk3/Xperia 5 Mk3 are the same phone between the two variants except for the screen and the battery.

      impinas, 09 Jan 2022The only reason the 12 remains in the shadow is that it is ... moreThat's what Samsung does too. They downgrade the vanilla and + versions as much as possible while they keep all the new goodies only for the Ultra. It's a tactic to make the Ultra look more appealing otherwise everyone would just buy the other models. When they used plastic on the S21 and limited the S21+ to only 8 gb ram, it's clear just how greedy they are

        The only reason the 12 remains in the shadow is that it is worse than the pro. Why, oh why, aren't they the same with the size being the only difference? Seriously, I am interested in compact flagships but I would prefer the ltpo screen, better camera etc. It's like android manufacturers push us to Apple, whose IP13 pro is exactly the same as the pro max apart from size and battery.

          Waiting for Xiaomi 12 in my country, reasonable body size is one of the reasons. Getting huge phone is not a problem, getting phone with normal specs and size comfortable to hold with single hand - impossible! Let's see what reception will be when phone will be released on global market.

            If the 12 doesn't sell, it will be hardly a surprise, not because of small phones being unwanted, but because, Xiaomi simply has no clue on how to make one. They created two big phones and then called the slightly smaller one as the compact one

              Tatti, 09 Jan 2022Dumb question. Is Mi 11 = Xiaomi 11? Or 11T? Are they th... morexiaomi 11 series (first released in china) was released as mi 11 series globally. so, mi 11 and xiaomi 11 are the same phone just named differently in china and rest of the world. however, thats no longer going to be the case. xiaomi 12 series is going to release as xiaomi 12 series globally as well, not mi 12 series.

                          I was about to jump on the 12 or 12X wagon, until I saw the curved display... next.

                                every day i check gamarena for compact flagship releases, this is really disheartening :(

                                  I've loved Xiaomi phones for years, currently using the Mi 11. On the whole I like the phone but too hard to get consistent sound notifications and this has been a challenge with most of the recent Xiaomi phones I have used so I will hesitate to buy another one.

                                      my thoughts about new meme 12 pro as DXO scores (bought by Chinese and crapple)

                                      Camera : [special IMX 707 + two Smol JN1] probably more than 130 and will be in top ten (irl it's worse than Galaxy S7)

                                      Selfie : NEW sensor[JD1] and lots of money give 99 or 98 scores to meme (your skin looks fake and smooth as peach)

                                      Display : Scammy new number game[2K, LTPO, 12bit] and added TCL money will pump the score more than 93 (depends on how much apple paid)

                                      and at the real world S21 FE is a lot better with Samsung screen, better camera(90% of times), less heating chip with Samsung cooling, 5 years of support starting from A12, samsung dex, and no spyware
                                      Meme's 2 years update start with A11 and ends with A13
                                      but FE started with A12 and ends with A16
                                      [JUST COMPARING PHONES THAT RELEASED IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS]

                                        Vivo X60/X70 are cheaper and more interesting....
