Micro sd card slot removal is a huge minus for the new model. I have the Xiaomi 11 lite 5G NE and I have placed a 512Gb micro sd card. I don't know what will be my next phone after a few years, but i certainly want the micro sd card slot.

    With the current price that one can get an 11 Lite NE for, why would anyone consider the 12 Lite? The 120hz display is probably nice, though the removal of the SD card slot and the inferior battery life, all while running the same 778G under the hood makes this an unfortunate flop compared to the previous generation and even if the price were to fall off dramatically I don't see this being a good step for Xiaomi. Baffling.

      Raffel, 09 Jul 2022A53 has its cons too -exynos 1280 is worse than sd778 -... moreOf course, i didnt say that a53 is without any flaws. But its really strange that this gets even higher not only from Samsung mid rangers but also from previous years Xiaomi Mi 11 lite.

            -snap778
            -noMicroSD card
            -4300mah battery, lower than competition
            -only 2 years of software support
            -no ois on main camera
            -around 400euro.

            So how exactly did this device get 4.3 stars and Samsung A53 5G only 4.0?? Even A52s 5g got only 4.2 stars....

              Raffel, 09 Jul 2022How is tjis a downgrade? Thicker, heavier, no microSD, still no OIS, and unergonomic square sides.

                      "6.55 is compact in 2022"

                      literally everything is "compact" by that reasoning. we're talking about millimeters. 6in is just as huge as 6.7

                        The desgin is very nice but Unfortunately there is no big change spesfications and very expensive.
                        If you want to buy so realme gt master edition and galaxy m52 is better for your money

                          I like how you guys give this smartphone a 4/5 rating

                          But the X4 GT got a below 4 starts all while being cheaper , having a superior chipset

                          But according to you guys the X4 GT display is a con and not flagship grade smh

                              Trash

                              ... Xiaomi just don't know how to build a proper successor .. this once again repeat the mistake they make with Poco X4 and F4 .. aside from changing design to be as close to the iphone, they keep downgraded the hardware compared to the predecessors.

                                  Looks like Xiaomi is being conservative about the charging speed on this specific device as the POCO F4, which comes with the same charger and a larger battery, charges faster.

                                    It's not really an upgrade over the 11 lite model. Big chunky square sides on it. What happened to the super slim body of the 11 lite ? You can buy the 11 lite 5g NE for less then 300 euro. I got mine for 229...

                                      The most important features were downgraded and they ask for more money.

                                        better buy a nord 2, it has OIS and no bloat similar performance.
