Finally, a 12T review, ah yes! Whilst others opted for the Pro model, I'd love to see how 12T (base version) stacks up against its bigger sibling. Thanks JuanBagnell for this review.
I bought this phone this week upgrading from the 11 lite 5gNE, and im very happy with my purchase, very capable phone, i really like the photo processing and the performance.
Great review as always, just bought this phone. One "correction" maybe: At 4:30 - you just click dont agree and youre done. From the part of the video where youve shown the stats I could see the ROM name (slqeuxm), and apparently its the EEA one intended for the European market. That means, among other things, that it fully complies with the rather strict GDPR policy of the EU. Out of all the localized versions you need to worry the least about privacy with this one. Click "dont agree" wherever you encounter such a screen and thats it.
3:55 Sleak and fast is when certain controls are at your reach and not burried under settings menu, like fast silence, DND, rich volume menu, app info and etc...
Ok, glad to see you and I are on the same page when it comes to Ultra labeling. I really like the 8100 series. I kind of wish they included the 200MP but they needed a cheaper variant. Also, I would' love for the phone to remember your recording resolution when switching cameras.
@@SomeGadgetGuy can you tell me why this phone doesn't allow all customers to use 90fps or 120fps in the games? Some of them can, and some can not. Same for other apps, not just for games. Maybe you know to give us the answer m beacuse I'm thinking to buy this phone
3:40 i think those heavy customisation forced Android to introduce some of that fun in to their vanilla system. To me it was funny that many reviwers complained about customized Android system, like vanilla Android is faster... To me it was like comparing race cars on barebones just to make them faster, and and everyday car that is built for comfort and pleasent drive.
I like Xiaomi. I like MIUI as well. But as soon as there is a stable custom ROM I'd root the 12T. Been a Xiaomi advocate for over 7 years. I think they make great devices. But there are annoying quirks that I can't live with anymore.
Do you think 12t is the best choice for a middle range phone in terms of camera and battery? Or there is a better one in the market right now? Thank you.
So between this, the note 12 pro plus and the poco f5, what are your thoughts on the winner? Also, any insight into signal strength with this device, when compared to others? Thanks!
Definitely eyeing the vanilla 12T because of that Dimensity SoC. The 12T Pro doesn't win me because of Motorola Edge 30 Ultra. That has a complete wide/ultrawide/telephoto camera setup and USB-C 3.1 with video output and Ready For support.
I’ve been confused for a while on how bands and service is for phones such as these. Do i have to get the global rom version? I’m in the US for reference. I usually look at these phones on giztop. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks for the video :)
Saw the 12T at the shop the other day and now I'm stuck between the 12T and the Oppo Reno8. While the 12T does seem to offer more performance etc, I've never really seen anyone use a Xiaomi phone. Do I go with the Oppo that I know or try a different brand and not knowing anything of that brand.
I have phone with finger print scanner in power button and this is not a good solution. You will touch this button just by taking it out of your pocket and lock it so you need to use pin number. On screen is better if you use it as navigation in your car or to unlock it without picking it up.
I am thinking between x4 GT and 12T but the price difference is around 100 dollar more for 12T so I'm thinking is it worth the 100 dollar extra given the screen and camera the 12T cost 499 for 256 gb storage here and x4 Gt 400
@@ungtan3752 I think it's better to get Redmi k50 ultra u get the same camera and awesome display and with 8+ gen 1 chipset which will perform very good in gaming and it's very stable at price 499 same as 12T u can purchase it through gizstop or Lazada
Hi Juan I like your channel. Do you think I should get a S22 plus or a Pixel 6 Pro. I am a tech blogging teenager but I don't use social media. I appreciate features like Dex but I don't have them on my current phone. (A71 5G) Thanks
If you want those kinds of work features, the real fight might be Samsung vs Moto. The Pixel will have the better cameras, but won't have the productivity or compute features.
Against the S22+, the Edge+ is silly good. Fast charging, better desktop mode, stylus support, and you can find the 512GB version for less than the S22 128GB. The software support is a factor, and you won't get as many OS updates, but you will get MUCH more timely feature updates. Most of the phone is updated directly through Google Play instead of waiting for bloated OTAs every other month.
Wonderful review, But my major concern is that, why is Xiaomi sticking with these Mediatek chipsets these days. Why can't they just opt for equal Snapdragon chipsets.. Because that was the case just a few years before.. and they had built their reputation with that, a good package with an affordable price range.. But, now, they're just only Mediatek and just one Super flagship High end Snapdragon model!
Because Dimensity 8100 is a lot more powerful than SD870 and more consistent than SD888. Qualcomm screwed up with 888 and 8 Gen 1 with their throttling and overheating issues because they let Samsung manufacture them instead of TSMC. 8 plus Gen 1 (and later Gen 2) is back with TSMC, but those are for Pro and flagship phones. Despite this, Xiaomi (with Poco) does offer phones of all of the other SoC's mentioned, just look them up. It's actually great that we got a Dimensity 8100 option that isn't stuck on an LCD phone like Poco X4 GT
Eh? It's got some fun little improvements like the charging speed, and the 8100 is more powerful, but I think a LOT of the experience would feel the same?
It's a tough call. If you think you're really going to game that hard, then the only way to go is gaming phone. This should be good at gaming for the hardware on tap though.
Better screen on 12t and better charging speed with a smaller battery on gt neon3 (the 150w one). However, 5000 mah and 120w is better than 4500mah and 150w or 5000 mah and 80w. The big difference is at the android ekin. Miui vs realme ui.
I'm thinking about getting a 12T. It sounds like it's a really good phone looking at what you get for what you pay. I did read about proximity sensor issues on the older T models. Have you experienced any sensor issues on your 12T?
@@colinwright1637 I haven't had any issues with the phone and it's going well currently and I'm waiting for miui 14 to come out so yeah excellent phone for the price
4:10 I used Blokada on my Xiaomi device to block ads and pinging back home. Then I used debloat software for Xiaomi phones and cleaned it little bit more. Issue is, wr are already tracked by Google, now other manufacturers try to do the same, especially Xiaomi and as of recent Huawei.
I have been using this phone for a month. The display is pretty good. The battery life is pretty bad, it can"t last a full day. The main camera is a disaster, the images are blurry it looks like there is no focus in the system. Colors are oversaturated and unnetural. The mediatek processor performance is good no lagg at all. I regretted buying it.
Don't have any permissions on my calculator I don't use the stock file manager I use simple file manager as well simple gallery pro on my redmi note 10 Pro global version plus every phone review I see it's always sunny its October 2022 and it is not sunny here totally jealous
I prefer to buy Xiaomi 11t pro insted of 12t. Have same camera, but better or maybe way better macro camera. Only one less year software update and a bit power hungry chip and that's it. Rest of the features in 11t pro is better than or same as 12t. And you can get it for 30k INR in India, which is $400-450 if converted to USD.
It's one of those features that's "overkill" until you use it, and then don't ever want to give it up LOL. It's totally changed my idea of charging for how little you have to plan ahead.
You can still charge it a lower wattage, just use a lower watt charger, they just provide the option of higher wattage charging, if some people are worried about battery degradation just charge it with a lower wattage charger.
@@SomeGadgetGuy most def, my next phone coming with a 67w charger. I wish manufacturers would add bigger batteries too lol, I want it all. Let's go 6000mah on most phones. 👏
It's pretty close. There are test that demonstrate advantages for the 888, but the 8100 is VERY similar to an 865 with a die shrink. Simply an outstanding design.
@@SomeGadgetGuy I like 8100 power efficiency better than 888, Snapdragon 888 by Samsung too much overheat issues. Good Job Qualcomm return TSMC is a great decision.
@@SomeGadgetGuy Dimensity 8100 is much better than Snapdragon 865. It's not even close in test performances. The closest Snapdragon rival is the 888 version in which the 888 version is only slightly better overall. Although I like to add that Dimensity 8100 beats Snapdragon 888 in multi-core tests.
Hello Since you have experience with Samsung Dex and touchscreens combo I wanted to ask for advices. I also appreciate answers from any viewer, in case the creator of this channel can't respond to my message. I'm interested in using Samsung Dex with a touchscreen monitor myself. Since I spend time in my home mostly and don't really need an additional battery. To not mske things longer, I have my eyes on two devices. 1. Magedok OLED full HD 13,3. Has touchscreen and no battery. Very similar to Asus Zenscreen OLED 13,3 (you can find more reviews for the later here on UA-cam). 2. Magedok IPS full HD 14'. Similar to above, just a little bigger and IPS instead of OLED technology. Had no battery as well. My phone is Samsung S20 FE. I tested Samsung Dex using another monitor (no touchscreen) and it works, but drains my battery very fast. So asking about BOTH monitors my questions are as follows: 1. Does plugging the power source (to the monitor) stop phone battery drainage? Does it even slow it? I watched reviews, but all they say is that plugging the monitor I can just boost the brightness. So I'm worried it would still consume my phone's battery even when I plug monitor to separate energy source (even if it doesn't need it). 2. If you aren't sure about the above. What would you recommend me to get additionally? Would buying an USB adapter solve it? I have hope that maybe an active (and not passive) adapter could help, being able to PD power deliver devices using it. Any experience with using it? 3. Most importantly. Can an use touch screen from the MONITOR when connecting monitor to my phone? Does it transfer both signal (image) AND touch or just the image? I want to control my phone through the monitor (its touchscreen), so both signal and touch transfers are needed. 4. If the above is true, how much control it gives. Can I use the monitor just like I used my phone? Meaning, could I play 3D android games and use controls just like on my phone? I play one game especially (Sky Children of the Light), it has two on screen 'sticks' (for moving the character and camera, with two thumbs). So I was wondering if using Samsung Dex I can play it normally just like with my phone - Or if it supports only clicking one area at the time (so I couldn't play normally with both thumbs and move the character/camera at the same time). You can even test the game itself if you got some time as it's free and without adds. I'm worried that it works just like a mouse even with touchscreen and offers zero support for multiple touch points pressed at the same time. For now this is all. Thank you. Best wishes, Jon
Always love hearing your thoughts on these new devices! Awesome work.
Yep
Your channel is nice as well
Finally, a 12T review, ah yes!
Whilst others opted for the Pro model, I'd love to see how 12T (base version) stacks up against its bigger sibling.
Thanks JuanBagnell for this review.
So happy U get to play with a Xiaomi. I'm still loving my 10T Pro [as mobile number two]
This does everything well right down to the speakers. They even throw in an IR blaster so you can change TV channels at the bar.
whats wrong with the speaker ?
Lmao, you can change the sport channel before something interesting happens 😂
The choice of the Mediatek processor upgrades the performance of this smartphone to a considerable extent.
More people should be talking about Xiaomi 12T smartphones. The mediatek D8100 ultra and 108MP camera cannot be missed by people.
Would you suggest this as a powerful gaming option since it comes with the Mediatek D8100-Ultra?
I bought this phone this week upgrading from the 11 lite 5gNE, and im very happy with my purchase, very capable phone, i really like the photo processing and the performance.
The 11 Lite was super cute, but the 12T is a champ. Congrats on the new phone 👍
Is the camera not worse?
same, coming from 11 lite 5g ne, is it really a big upgrade in gaming and camera? or just wait for 13T

a bit older: yes
Larger 108 MP sensor: yes

So I was wondering if using Samsung Dex I can play it normally just like with my phone - Or if it supports only clicking one area at the time (so I couldn't play normally with both thumbs and move the character/camera at the same time). You can even test the game itself if you got some time as it's free and without adds. I'm worried that it works just like a mouse even with touchscreen and offers zero support for multiple touch points pressed at the same time.
For now this is all. Thank you.
Best wishes, Jon
