The device is midrange priced, but it has many features you would expect from a flagship device, and Xiaomi 12 Lite aims to provide that.
It features a Samsung 108-megapixel HM2 sensor, which is one of the highlights of the Xiaomi 12 Lite. The usual suspects are next to it: an 8-megapixel ultra-wide and a 2-megapixel macro lens. A 32-megapixel camera handles face-taking on the front.
Furthermore, we have a 6.55-inch AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ certification, and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate.
With a battery capacity of only 4,300mAh, the 12 Lite is one of the thinnest on the market. In addition, it comes with a powerful 67W turbo charger.
A few of its features include Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, NFC, stereo speakers, and a fingerprint scanner embedded into the display.
However, since it’s a midrange phone, it still has the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G 5G processor. This phone has two RAM options: 6GB or 8GB and a UFS 2.2 storage option of 128GB or 256GB.
