Xiaomi 12 Pro is COMING for iPhone 13, iQOO 9 Pro

The Xiaomi 12 Pro is finally coming to India! After releasing a bunch of affordable Redmi branded devices in the past, Xiaomi India is now preparing its flagship series for the Indian market. The Xiaomi 12 series was launched in China late last year, and in Europe last month. While the series consists of three models globally, it seems India is only getting the Xiaomi 12 Pro at the moment.

Xiaomi India’s Manu Kumar Jain took to Twitter to announce the Xiaomi 12 Pro for India. There is no launch date given yet but Xiaomi says it will be going soon. “Life is a show, let's make it worth the wait. #𝑋𝑖𝑎𝑜𝑚𝑖12𝑃𝑟𝑜 5𝐺 is coming soon to India! Because the show is incomplete without "𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘄𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗿”, says Xiaomi in its post.

Xiaomi 12 Pro 5G to be Xiaomi’s top-notch flagship

The Xiaomi 12 Pro 5G is the most loaded phone in Xiaomi’s lineup at the moment. This is a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 flagship that comes with up to 12GB LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256GB UFS 3.1 storage. A 4600mAh battery powers it and it brings along a 120W wired fast charging as well as 50W wireless charging. The phone also supports 10W reverse wireless charging.

Similar to the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, the Xiaomi 12 Pro 5G gets a 6.73-inch Quad HD+ AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 120Hz refresh rate and 480Hz touch sampling rate. The display also supports up to 1500nits peak brightness, as well as HDR10+ and Dolby Vision formats. It is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus.

Lastly, the cameras on the rear are what makes the Xiaomi 12 Pro special. The phone comes with a 50MP Sony IMX707 OIS assisted main camera, another 50MP ultrawide camera with 115-degrees field-of-view, and another 50MP portrait camera. For selfies, the phone uses a 32MP camera sitting in a punch-hole cutout.

What remains to be seen is whether Xiaomi brings the other two models to India. The vanilla Xiaomi 12 is a smaller version of the Xiaomi 12 Pro, offering a watered-down camera hardware. Then there’s the Xiaomi 12X that achieves an even more accessible price but relies on the very old Snapdragon 870 platform, which is essentially based on the Snapdragon 865, which originally powered the Xiaomi Mi 10.
