Are you from the future. We are only in 2022 but you're in 2029. Any good chips to recommend?
Yeah!! I like this kind of phone this is look like the Mi10S. Great Job Chris
Yes the SDGen16++ they finally sorted out the thermals!
Does it have a wireless charging?
@@guillynlimpag9618 No. Only Xiaomi 12 vanilla and pro have it
The Snapdragon 870 was the last line of the 8 series to not include a built in stovetop feature.
That's true haha
Which is showing that the miniaturization is a bad thing. 6-8 nm is the lowest acceptable
😂😂
@@alxdava2004 ... that's not how it works. That's not how any of this works.
@@DarkExternalHeart really?! Under 6nm(mediatek) everything needs a better cooling, everything is heating to the point that games or camera are shut down. I don't see any benefit in this. And the prices for these useless extreme are getting insane also.
I've been kinda out of the circulation happily owning my Mi 10T Pro for a year now (a buy influenced by your review!) but just a few days ago I recommended 12X to a friend because of the critical eye that I got in large part from watching your reviews!
No other tech channel out there like yours, period.
Thanks!
I have the Mi 10T Pro for 2 years now, and it's still a solid performer, didn't even disappoint me 😊
What critical eye?
@@stevethea5250 a dictionary may be useful to find out
@@iamdissapoint4614 hmmm
Definitely the best smartphone reviewer I found
Hi Chris! I haven't asked this and it has been lurking in my head for a while now. There has this common issue amongst Xiaomi phones with AMOLED panels this so called "Black Crush" ( lines or marks of black / grey discoloration all over the screen. I hope you could provide an insight on this one. Could you test this unit?
To test:
- Dark mode on
- Reading mode on (paper mode)
- lowest Auto brightess
- room with NO Lights / off
- navigate to any dark moded apps or any thing that has a darker background
To conclude:
- The color is just plain dark
- no discoloration to some parts of the screen
Excellent review! Very detailed and informative! Do you know if it has an option for shooting videos in log, as the 11t pro has for example?
Hello :) did you have any issues with the HDR video playback? (youtube, Netflix...) There are some reports that HDR videos are dim with poor conrast in comparison to the xiaomi 12 pro for instance.
Holy hell Batman! You started the review without any nonsense in the beginning. Ristecpa!
Yes I don't do all that stupid "what's up guys welcome back everyone. Before we start make sure you hit like and subscribe" etc etc. When I hear that crap the first thing I do is close that video and move on.
I'm glad someone finally got this one to you. I usually rely on your reviews but I bought it anyway for the same reasons stated here: the 870 seems like the most stable, efficient gaming snapdragon and especially due to the smaller size. Reasonably compact, good quality phones are rare nowadays.
Glad I did review it such a great smaller phone. And the SD870 is still awesome even in mid 2022!
@@Techtablets please compare xiaomi 12/12x vs s21 fe
@@Techtablets Can you recommend other small phones like this but cheaper? Currently using MI A2 lite, but want an upgrade
@@Techtablets which do you think it’s better? The REALME GT NEO 2 Or this ?
I hope smartphone manufacturers are able to use Snapdragon 870 instead of the overheat 888 for flagship killers. Not only it is slightly cheaper, but also more stable chipset. I miss the last year's hype with snpdrgn 870 phones.
Sd888 s21 fe works good
Such a wholesome review. Did not rush at all and covered all aspects that re necessary to make a decision. Great job mate!
As always appreciate your thorough review. Would you please do the androbench test on this device ?
Great review. I purchased the 12X here in the states and couldn't be more happier. Its getting 5G and everything works including group and picture texts after changes to the APN settings. The customization options are endless and it even has a double tap feature to silence the phone comparable to the alert slider on my old Oneplus 10 Pro. The battery life is also great for a compact device.
How is the blutooth connectivity?
And type c headphones?
Does it work on US networks?
Great review! Most complete out there :)
However I ve seen the same pcwork battery test in another review with dynamic mode on hz and it.s almost 15 hours (instead of 12)!!! That would mean about 8,30/9 hours of on screen (including dark mode, I guess). That.s really possible? On notebookcheck they rate 17 hours of web browsing, not that far away from Pro Max 13... I bought the phone today (coming from an old Samsung Note9), 479 euros 256gb version, and I cannot wait to prove that battery. Again, congrats. It.s a pleasure to follow your honests reviews. :)
Omg the camera and video sample footage!
Hi, great review, is the phone used in your video Blue or Purple? Thanks.
You can not use an infrared thermometer for your thermal tests! On a reflective surface it measures the reflections. You would have to stick non reflective tape on it first or use a thermal couple.
Hi Chris, forums are full of problems with the non-existant proximity sensor of xiaomi phones. What is your take on that? Any issues?
I wish they'd launch this phone in India soon... Been waiting for a long time. When you wield your phone around all day, big chunky phones become very annoying esp if you don't play games. So the compact size is so refreshing and much more practical.
Yes it has been very refreshing
Hey Chris, any word on ZTE for the new Axon? Waiting on your review before I buy it
I was hoping to get one, but not seen it yet
It's goes Globally next month from the press release I had
I hope to have it in the next few weeks in time for the global release.
I'd to know the capabilities in terms of slow motion recording, does it have 4k 120 Hz?
Thank you for great video .
Do you think battry life is better from s21 5g or s22 5g؟ i am not gamer and not photographer ، just a lot call and whatsapp
Excellent review Chris and 200 thumbs up😉
Thanks 👍
Excellent review!! Waiting for it to launch in India sooooooon...........!!!!!
I really hope the upcoming 12S and 12S Pro are Dimensity 9000 variants of the 12 and 12 Pro. Exact same phone except for the better chipset.
Same here the Dimensity 9000 is a cooler running chipset.
Is it not 12T and 12T Pro?
I wondering how an older Galaxy S21 compares. Can get used (almost new) for 380-450 bucks, with still 3 more years of updates to come.
Thanks for covering this. Greetings from Scotland.
Great review! Want to buy it after almost a year, but sadly can't find a global version selling anywhere :(
The first time i watched the video i gave it a like
The second time, i went on and ordered the model.
I dropped to watch your video a third time to sub to your channel as well.
You did an excellent job presenting the device and you 're projecting a nice positive vibe, the summer location for the camera helped, but it was something more than that for sure!
Keep up the good work!
Thanks 👍
10:20 suprised me the loudspeaker test
Yes I did not expect that!
Where can you buy this in the UK?
Clear review. Very capable phone for its price.
Any thoughts on this one compared to the basic S22? Both ''small'' form factor phones. Just wondering if the price bump of around €200 is worth it for the S22.
The S22 is smaller and has worse battery life, to be expected as the phone is alot thinner too. Camera performance is dependable on your taste, both seem adequate. It all comes down to preference (excluding the size difference) - do you want samsung bugs or xiaomi bugs?
Oooor, at that price point you bite the bullet and get an iphone, in which case, you get iphone bugs.
@@thecrionic Managed to pick up a 12X for half the price of a S22. Should be fine for my use cases.
How are the low light videos? Missed them on this video!
What does it mean Audio tuned by AKG, Harmin etc ?
Other than the lack of wireless charging and the telephoto lens, this phone is literally one the best compact phones you'll ever find on any smartphone at the moment. I sold my iphone 13 pro for it and Its been nothing but pleasant. It won't blow you away but it works well for what it is. The weight, the narrowness of the phone feels like it's way above it's price tag.
In case you guys are wondering about how it feels in hand, imagine a Samsung S10+ but flatter.
Overall good phone for it's price.
Very good build, screen it rally has everything and I agree it's the best compact phone you can get right now.
How's the software? I want to move over from s20fe, I'm very sensitive to phone lagging and giving me BS even for under a second, I don't give a f about camera, I want it to run smooth, thank you
I wondering how an older Galaxy S21 compares. Can get used (almost new) for 400 bucks, with still 3 more years of updates to come.
@@Reza-sl4jm I’m having a hard time picking between this and the REALME GT Neo 2
@@elijnr i went for 12x and I'm satsified
What about if I had to exchange my mi 11 lite ne 5g with this. Is that option available???
Thank you so much for this awesome review, so in-depth and detailed!
how many phones have video on usb-c ? its some kind of update will help ?
Does it support 3.5mm jack when adaptor is used?
Thank you for the good review. I decided to buy Mi 12X after watching this video 😂 After using for 4 days, it's really good for me. Love it!
I experience that loading screen animation even while using my poco x3 pro, it's so annoying because it crashes the app your using and you can't do anything except wait for it to load back
Yes I hate seeing that spinning animation as it loads in the UI elements, app icons etc. It does it more when I haven't used the phone for a while. Sometimes 2-3 seconds. But even my 12 Pro does it.
@@Techtablets I think its because of the latest miui 13 update, because I have not such problem from 12.5
Yes often new updates add in it bugs the same time it removes others. Always seems the way with MIUI.
Seems like they tried to go for a similar size factor as the current iPhones.
Great video Chris love your honest reviews :)
Thanks for watching
Any decent compact phones in lower prices (budget or midrange)?
What about callings? No proximity sensor?
Will you do a review of ZTE Axon 40 Ultra?
Does the Mi12X has symetrical bezel like S22 series?
I hope this will come official to Indonesia.. as if i buy it unofficially from overseas the imei will not be detected and the signal will not be appeared
Where can I get this in Bangkok? They seem to have only the xiaomi 12, not the 12X
absolutely gutted I never went for this went it was released now, Xiaomi forever teasing us with the mix 5
Nice review mate , always exactly what need to know for a decision 👍
Thanks for watching
Hi Chris, thanks for this review. I have been looking for a compact phone to upgrade my mi 9t and have a hard time finding a good one. I recently discovered the Sony 10 IV which seems to be promising in this regard (besides the 12x). Do you have any plans of reviewing it? I think there’s no other option for people who want a really compact phone (~6 inches), clear screen (no cutouts or notches), and overall respectable specs with no gimmicks.
HI it seems like a good option that 10 IV, but no plans to review it sorry.
In exact same situation with my Mi 9T. The Xperia 10 iv also has OIS for the first time in the series. Should warn you though - in the hand the 21:9 Sony phones feel weird - like a TV remote or something. The other warning is that Sony's software is actually worse than Xiaomi's when it comes to ads, bloatware etc. Doesn't get much coverage, but that was my experience with XZ1 compact.
I bought the zenfone 8 exactly because of the size. Perfect phone size but the camera is a bit shit especially at night.
I also own a Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro and wanting no cut outs or notches. 😆 It feels like a downgrade if I buy something with punch hole. I hope they make Sony 10 IV available globally.
870 still flexing after 3 years! I have the Mi11X (Poco F3) and I don't feel the need for anymore power. With all my banking, work and gaming. Heavy user here, screen on time usage of atleast 10-12 hours every day with 2 hours of calling, 2-3 hours of some heavy duty games, 5-6 work apps with constant mails and notifications! Do have to charge twice everyday though due to my usage.
poco f3 و a52s و 11t pro و 11t و 12xوs21 fe ? What is your choice between these?
man I wish they'd allow these models to use the leica camera app. there was an apk floating around but that's been blocked now. I wonder will new unblocked apk's surface at some point?
The fact that the 12X looks like the smarter purchase over the 12 and 12pro, is crazy! Because the 12x is allegedly the lesser model in the line up. And it comes down to, that it comes with 870 chip set. Which is cooler and more efficient than the 888 and 8 gen 1 chipsets.
Great assessment from you Sir Chris. 👍
Nicely done👏👏
It's really good, cheaper, great size and not a throttling mess. The SD870 still has the power everything needs.
the only issue is are the software updates, as Xiaomi doesn't have the same update commitment for the 12x while the 12 and 12 pro are guaranteed to have 3 years of OS updates
If one is not gonna play demanding 3D games, is Xiaomi 12 with Snap 8 gen 1 gonna be a problem still? 12X is not really that cheaper here anymore, guaranteed software updates for 12 and bidirectional wireless charging are nice additions as well
@@OYeahan it shouldn't be a problem if you dont play games that demand a lot of power from the phone
Are you going to get Redmi K40S for review since it's going to be the global version of POCO F4?
Hello no plans to buy it at the moment sorry
Just got a couple for my wife and me and couldn't be happier with the purchase. Best phone for usability and performance, excellent pictures inside and outside and great design. The only thing I don't like is the shape of the speaker grilles.
Great to hear!
Very good and honest review. Appreciate it.
Thanks for watching!
in england is not coming.. This what they told me in xiaomi shop london.
I took 12..
good phone..
Only negative pron to heat bit...
How cute your little one is!
Could anyone please help me out and tell me why I'd choose this phone over the 11t pro?
Great video... i recently got this phone.. and its amazing .. the size of the phone is perfect. i just have one issue with it. Gmail , Chrome and phone dialer apps appear in orange color instead of the regular dark mode color.. do you have this same issue? any suggestions to fix this ? thanks.
It changes or adapts to the color of present wallpaper.
10:48 the XD right there, the 12x for me it's just the form factor how it's compact
Which one would you prefere compared to realme GT2 Pro concerning especially camera quality
Which you choosed?
Hi, Do you think can be a good phone in 2023 for 270 euro?
Thank you, that's the way I like tech reviews...
Don't geht a sunburn after all the rain ;)
Good to know!
I honestly love this 12X
Yes, it's a great phone, the size of it cheaper and (I think) better than the 12 Pro. What was a shock was to hear the speakers are better than the 12 Pro it makes zero sense.
@@Techtablets maybe somehow because it is smaller it bounces more inside the phone xD? No clue hahaha
Major complain with this phone:
1, no anti-banding at 120hz
2, auto brightness only works with back camera, resulting in constant wrong brightness level, especially indoors.
Great content keep it up as always Sir
Thanks for watching!
@@Techtablets welcome Sir
Hi, does it have stabiliser when taking videos?
Yes
waiting a full comparison of xiaomi 12X vs realme gt2 pro. hoping very soon.. thank you..
can't decide.. One Plus 10 Pro or Mi 12x 🤔
How to get X12x global set?
12x vs poco x4 gt.,,,which one is better? Thx.
Your opinions are the best and highly valued
Thank you
How many android update it’ll get؟
what phone would you suggest for around £600 budget?
great video subbed
Maybe wait for the Xiaomi 13 (review coming on the 26th)
how does it compare to the normal 12? the lack of wireless charging is a bit of bummer, beside that, current mi note 10 does everything I need, but I like how compact 12 is and other features
It runs a lot cooler and throttles a lot less plus is cheaper. Otherwise the 12 is faster in benchmarks and ahs the wireless charging.
@@Techtablets I might be emulator gaming instead of benchmarks or Genshin Impact, probably dolphin, will it be as bad too?
Im confused between the Xiaomi 12x and Pixel 6, its just 40$ difference in my region
So, realme gt2 or xiaomi 12x, which one would you go for?
Was planning no buying gt2 but seems like it's has issues according to customers who bought it with battery drain ,poor mic quality, heat issues I guess it an overall issues with the chip which is why I am now considering buying this phone(Xiaomi 12x) or might just wait out another year.
So what did u decide for been 6month since this comment .
Very nice phone! Great review!
Where is this place man?? Its looking amazing! In some island?? 🤔👍👍
Spain
this looks like could be a good replacement for my redmi note ten pro which ive had over two yrs.the size is abit more compact. but im having hard time finding one in the uk for a decent price.
I don't think i would go back and reflash my Redmi note 10 pro back to miui 13, when it came and gave two patches performance became terrible, lag everywhere, bugs and other crap. Using CrDroid 8 for more than month. Performance is great, pixel like, no lag mostly. No bloat. Only reason to get Redmi phone is that you can install custom and there is plenty of custom roms.
Hello good job
Just one thing, u should review the pictures yourself tho
Makes the videos too long I once did that and people prefer a slide show with samples not me talking over it
watching this with my regular 12. absolutely no regret buying😊
good phone, but its not that great value like before, +500$ ..
I think the gpu in new qualcomm phones go on wrong way, more power usage, and more heat
What do you think is Better? 12x or 11T Pro in terms of camera. in my area, both have the same price (PHP 25,000+)
12x mas latest chipset ang gamit.
im using this phone for over 10 months but howly shit i want another one keeps restarting on its own almost evry week freezes alot when using surten apps
the in screen sensor is located low because they have small hands, shorter fingers.
I have the Xiaomi 12 global version love the handset, my only issue really is if uploading videos or using multiple apps it heats up bad. What makes the 12X a better phone? Great video again.
It doesn't throttle as much or hat up like the 12. Which I have also reviewed and it's cheaper that the 12 and 12 Pro.
@@Techtablets good point!!
Did you have any problems with proximity 'sensors'. I'm using three Xiaomis and each one of them dimoes have an issue with their strange, so called, sensors.
Hi, no on this unit no, but on other POCO phones.
Please make comparison video with samsung s22.
Excellent review.
I was interested until I found out it has a curved screen...
After the OnePlus 8 Pro, never again, curved screens are awful...
Beware of the "Qualcomm crashdump mode" in OnePlus phone thought..once bitten twice shy and forever banning OP phones.
why?
That's one an interesting phone, especially given the compact size. I'm waiting for Poco F4 Pro to see if it will be worth the wait.
I guess It's quite dumb for me to upgrade from f3 to f4 but have you seen Redmi k50 with d8100 it's gaming performance is better than all non gaming smartphones even d9000 (golden reviewer channel has good comparisons) yet it has great battery life I guess it's not as good as Redmi claims that the battery life is better than iphone 13 pro max but still great
Which ever Poco f4 version comes with d8100 is going to be a real champ
@@swetea6908 Poco F4 is K40S if the leaks are correct according to the certification. K50 is not going to be Poco F4.

Do you have any plan to review the S21 FE?
I think it should be a great comparison between these two models.
No plans to review the S21FE sorry, I did review the S20FE
@@Techtablets Oh I see, nice review by the way
Overall great phone but poor battery life especially the exenos
this camera is better píxel 6 a ?
I have a device with a 865+ (which is what the 870 is basically a rebranded version of) and one with the 8 gen 1.
Day to day use I would say the difference is minimal. But for gaming and heavy productivity, it does make quite a bit of difference and you can tell that the 8 gen 1 is 2 generations ahead.
Even for long period of time when you do gaming? Or ocasional gaming?
This phone (12x) is insanely good, i had mi10 and 11lite and cant believe differences. Its like perfect phone, really. And first android which launches camera app and takes picture and then see that picture almost instantly. Vibra motor is perfect also, and for some reason typing is much more precise, sound great, speed so far blazing fast. Ok i will finish now :D
Is this better than the mi10?
