          I don't understand why you not simply advise to buy the 11pro?

          The Xiaomi 12 Pro is a disappointing iteration of the Xiaomi 11 Pro. Only the display and the connectivity are really “professional” on the Xiaomi 12 Pro. Otherwise, for example, the IP certification is missing, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 has massive heat problems, the cameras (main sensor is even a downgrade to the 11pro) and features are too weak considering the price and the battery life slips below average with intensive use. If you want a Xiaomi flagship, then get a Xiaomi 11 Ultra or Pro, which is not only (much) cheaper, but also the much better overall package.

          The 11pro I just ordered on tradingshenzen.com for 560 EUR incl. 67w charger, all fees & shipping.

            I know there are flaws and some things are missing in the device. Also the price this time is a way off the mark.

            However, when compared to Samsung or Apple as other viable cost-comparisons shouldn't the price of a fast charger be also considered? Both the devices could be charged by some old charger at home, however, that would not give that fast charging boost that those devices need.

                  I'm old, so old actually I still use these devices to make phone calls. All the reviews on this site never touch on the reception and antenna strength which is an essential thing to some. Please just give a line or 2 for this quality of the phone

                            Xiaomi must throw MIUI in the dumpster and write a their new UI overlay for Android, like Samsung did with Samsung Experience and created new One UI

                                Let's see, what does the introduction page of this review say..?

                                > Video capture: Front camera: 1080p@30/60fps, 720p@120fps.

                                I have no idea where you got the "locked at 1080p 30fps" part, but you're welcome. As for the video quality, they didn't test it so I can't tell.

Perhaps because on paper it is as dull as a rusty axe, that even they did not realize the holy thing they created (I find myself having excuses to use th eportrait mode even though I never use front cameras)

                                        Nick Tegrataker, 16 Mar 2022It's for the selfie camera, like literally who cares?So selfie camera locked at 1080p 30FPS with poor quality is acceptable? If you are a hardcore Xiaomi fan then yes. S22 and iPhone 13 have sjgnificantly better front camera quality. And I use the front camera frequently.
