Speed-wise, the Xiaomi 12 actually outperformed the Oppo Find X5 Pro in the Geekbench 5 single- and multicore CPU tests. With scores of 1,214 and 3,610 respectively, it’s as rapid as Android gets at the moment, with only the iPhone 13 having a slight lead. Again, there is no OIS on the rear or front cameras, the sensors rely 100% on EIS which is not good at all. The same can’t be said about GPU speeds, although in this case the Xiaomi 12 is the phone to beat. Reaching the maximum 120fps in the GFXBench Manhattan 3 test, the Xiaomi 12’s graphics rendering capabilities are second to none, especially when you take into account the barnstorming 237fps off-screen result. The iPhone 13 is left trailing behind at 170fps. Installed on the handset are several sensors which enable convenience when communicating and handling the device. The moral of the story is if you’re a casual user who doesn’t play games for hours and you’re okay with 4G connectivity then Redmi Note 12 4G is the best option to consider.

This is not a huge problem as most of the users in India love bit saturated color. Also, the sensor tries to soften the human skin a little bit, so if you have pimples on your face then don’t worry, the sensor will try to soften and you won’t look that horrible (pun intended). The cameras are pretty decent. It’s nothing over the top but still impresses us. You could expect a 4K recording option, which is missing. 5000 mAh battery comes with 33W charging.

Similarly, you get Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection, 240Hz touch sampling rate, 100% DCI-P3 coverage, and a peak brightness of 1200 nits. Finally, the Xiaomi 12 can record video up to 8K resolution at 24fps, although you’ll want to drop this setting down to 4K at 60fps to enable image stabilisation. I recommend doing this because 8K footage is much too choppy, despite being full of detail. Xiaomi 12 review: Verdict
