Lucky for me have been using Xiaomi 12 since November 2022 and so far so good. Daily used as it is out from package battery setting *balance* and temperature *cool to normal* only never experience *warm or hot or overheat*

For some reason I got 2h SoT with a full charge, no matter what I did on the phone (basically nothing). Therefore, I'd suggest you @Anonymous from "Kx6" to not buy the Xiaomi 12 unless you want to deal with a lot of problems. I returned the device and will get the Oppo Find X5. It is - reportedly a great device despite having a SD 888. The Mi 11 lasts much longer too, and for a comparison, I did run the same stuff on both phones, the Mi 11 had no dark mode enabled tho. 3h SoT and 58% remaining. That's absolutely fine, no modifications on the Mi 11. Get yourself a Mi 11 which has been manufactured a bit later, not in the first manufacturing months as these phones had a problem where the WiFi chip got fried because of excessive heat. The Mi 11 I have is actually pretty okay, my sister is using it right now, but to be fair, she's only texting on WhatsApp and rarely uses Instagram.

                Emre, 13 Feb 2023Ok, so I found a real fix for those who like the Mi 12 and ... moreThe next day, still connected to Galaxy Watch4, 35% left, 5:23h SoT. I'll try calibrating the battery by discharging the device to 1% and recharging it all the way up to 100%.

                  Oh, and yeah.. it will not throttle the performance, as it doesn't get as hot as it did before. Even if it does, I completely disabled thermal throttling.

I have successfully underclocked the CPU and GPU and also changed the scaling governor to "schedutil" which is known for optimal battery life and performance. I have also switched to "none" I/O scheduler and aggressively reduced impact on the Prime core, as the prime and the GPU is the reason for the overheating issue and also for the high battery drain. Right now I got 3:36h SoT, 53% left, it's the same usage pattern and now I even enabled Bluetooth and it's always connected to my watch. GPS is on, temps are very low, device feels a lot cooler and is on par with a SD 870/888, even more efficient I'd say. This is the only fix to be honest, as I said before, the chip is too fast and relatively inefficient, but the stuff I have listed above will definitely help to get a better battery life and thermals. To sum it up, I'd definitely recommend it for those who want to use the device for at least 1 year. And to be honest, no one requires that high power on a mobile...

I bought the Mi 11 for testing purposes, but unfortunately, it's the same. Overheating, phone needs to be charged every single day, sometimes for more than 2 times. I'd recommend the Xiaomi 12X, it would be great if it would support wireless charging, the good thing is that the charging speed is really fast, so you wait 7 minutes and get a reasonably good 40-50% charge for the next 3 hours with very light usage.

                                        Less warm or more warm it is still warm so basically it's not better
