Biggest Smartphone Surprise of 2022! | Xiaomi 12 Review
Ғылым және технология
Reviewing the Xiaomi 12 smartphone (global edition), which boasts better battery life and a more compact form vs the pricey Pro model. I've been testing out the camera tech, doing lots of gaming and using the Xiaomi 12 as my personal phone for over a week now. Here's my final verdict on one of the best - or at least my favourite - Android blowers of 2022.
That camera tech has been scaled back versus the Pro but you can still expect excellent tracking and HDR performance. Sony's IMX766 sensor is good enough for the Oppo Find X5 Pro and it's certainly good enough for the Xiaomi 12, although Oppo's phone is superior in low light.
This beefcake doesn't compromise when it comes to performance, so gaming on the likes of Genshin Impact and PubG is a silky experience. Helped considerably by the impressive cooling tech. Meanwhile the Xiaomi 12 boasts the best battery life of this family.
Add in a crisp and punchy AMOLED screen, respectable stereo speaker setup and MiUI 13 UI and wrap it all in a sleek compact frame. That's this handset in a nutshell. Not perfect by any means, but one of the smartphones I've most enjoyed so far in 2022.

This channel should be used in English majors to illustrate how diverse the language really is. Honestly, the script is fun, descriptive and very well written. Top bloke this guy is

Whilst I love the videos for their education about all the gadgets, I can only sort of agree. Yes, it shows the diversity of the amazing English language but many of his expressions are clichéd if you are a northerner.

I really like this guy, my friend has been looking for a new phone and I happened to come across this video. He is very honest and I like the all of the detail on the phone and how he goes over how the phone shines and how the phone maybe isn’t as good. Honesty is key when doing tech reviews. I look forward to seeing more from him. Great job my friend.

Ditto love that he just uses like basic language to explain things and compares it to the average everyday user experiences Unlike videos that blast you with stats and cool features that'll you'll probably never use anyway
I had to login to my account to comment this - this guy is so good. Funny, entertaining, direct and not trying hard. Very clever script and fuckin amazing review! Great job
Love to watch your reviews. Very helpful. Thanks... 👍
Love hearing your voice. Cheers on the way to your mill subs
Man, I just love your selection of background anime images. Sometimes I just watch your reviews for that :3. Keep it up

Great to see ‘The Sparks Brother’ footage … clearly a man of great musical taste 😎
I would have never have thought you jammed "Enterprise Earth?!" That's awesome man! You have a killer variety of taste. Cheers man
Best smartphone Review I've seen thus far in 2022 - hats off man! You've got a new subscriber and I've just bought my new device :) Can't wait to lay my hands on it 😁
Excellent review! Thanks!
shows how diverse you are you don't just review all the heavy hitters but you also show the underdogs and cover all segments keep up the great work Chris 👍🏻
Fantastic presentation well organised, enjoyed all of the information he shared on the video!
Thanks for bringing the full Review after the Unboxing. That's continuity and consistency. This phone is very enticing and I have my eyes set on it. Damn the Find X 5 pro, OnePlus 10 pro and even this one's Pro sibling.
Good channel and it has to be said sarcasm makes it more fun keep it up!
Wow. I just realized you fixed your Xiaomi pronunciation! Brits normally pronounce it "Zeeaomi" instead of "Sheaomi". Good job and great vid!
Thanks for the review!
Love your Videos.... your so funny man. Always get a honest, & informative review. 10/10 Keep Up the Good Work. & Thank You. ❤️💙💯🤗😂💯👍🥂🍺
Your cat looks so lovely; glad I found your very useful channel; greetings from Germany.
The camera is really looking amazing!!! Wow
awesome review thank you very much ❤️❤️
The best Android phones reviews and best anime wallpapers cheers 🥂
Best review thanks!
Finally the rem wallpaper which i have been using it for a week🔥🔥
I choose this phone to and did my research. Thanks btw. Great phone love it!
Just bought this off an eBay seller who had 10 of them. Brand new with charger and lead but no box. £499 Inc postage. They can keep the box at this price. It is a brilliant phone and battery life is amazing and it is lovely to hold after all the ridiculous sizes they keep bringing out. Fits in every pocket without falling out. Well happy

Got it from some guy on eBay for £280. Brand new - open but never used. I wish they sold the 12S globally instead. Would switch to that instantly.
Xiaomi 12 is the most appropriate upgrade from a s10 or s20 ( standard models )
changed my mind half a dozen times of what phone to go for think this is the one
Nice videos bro thanks for the videos
Do you think the xiaomi 12x will hit UK shores? Or xiaomi 12 the best wel get?
Hey Chris, just want to know if this phone can find and connect properly with public WiFi hotspots?
This is the one I've been waiting for mate, sold! 💸💸
great video can u pls tell me how to get wallpapers used in this video😅
After look at the audio score of this one on dxomark, i decided to keep using the mi10s since mi10s is still outstanding in audio compare to mi12 or mi12 pro

Thinking of this. Great video
Apparently big issue with internal lens fogging at least the Chinese versions as it was not IP certified ...
is the proximity sensor working well ? xiaomi has issues with it
Whats your daily driver? I have a Huawei mate 10 pro and cant decide what to pick up
Where you get your wallpapers from?
Still using my M10, wondering if i should upgrade. Also, where do you get your wallpapers?
*Techspurt full of admiration for Xiaomi 12* - Meh. *Flips the phone and sees the huge camera* - WOWWWW!!!! 😍😍😍😍
It looks like a deadly high-end camera, I was just a little taken aback that the screen spilled to the sides, and that the camera on the back was just that big. Interests him against the regular Galaxy s22.
The wallpapers you use are awesome. Can you please provide the source from where we can get them?
You are the best reviewers on the youtube channel
this mini beast will be my main phone next year lmfao eyeing at the little bugger's price tag
Am surprised how to this phone looks on vid bro🤯🤯🤯💥💥💥
This channel deserves a Stella Artois sponsorship 😁
got a one plus pro8 upgrade overdue , do I go for one plus or Xiaomi ? I am only interested in the camera ? 🙏🏼
atleast now i know how to say it ha, nice review gave a sub. how would u compare this to top samsung ?
Can someone help me out, I have the P30 Pro and I am stuck between getting the Oppo Find x5 or the Xiaomi 12... Any advice/help?
Was wondering, how do you all switch daily drivers for reviews so seamlessly? Cause just installing the apps is simple, but who has time for all the customizations in individual apps T.T
Pleaseee can you do a review of Oppo find X5 (not pro). Very few reviews on KZread and it's likely to be a real contender to the Pro.
You have reviewed several Xiaomi/Redmi budget devices. Which would you say has the best camera for photo and video? I want to make a purchase and camera is top priority
Do you get regular software updates to fix bugs with miui?
that's a bliss finding a phone under 6.5 inches with a strong chipset, battery, ram, and camera...finally a proper phone to buy..thanks for the review
Where do you get your wallpaper? They are very nice
is it still possible to use wired earphones if I get an adapter for the phone? also does anyone know what the process of importing pictures and videos from the phone to the computer is like, and also what format the files are? I'm very interested in this phone, I really like to take photos and record stuff but I need to be able to move them over to my computer so I can use them for youtube videos
Actually Chris, the display is 12-bit colour tuned if I'm not wrong.
Bought it. Can't wait. Shipping from china.
@ tech spurt. I am a big fan and have been watching you for some time now. Please could you review the ticwatch pro s as every review I search up isn't great but I know you won't let me down. Thank you
Chris what is the most premium device to hold £300 and under. Cheers
Will you also be reviewing the 12X? That's supposed to be even more power efficient because of its 870 chipset.
Was hoping for some actual specs on the video features, resolutions and fps per video resolution. where can I get that info?
Which one would you recommend between Xiaomi 12 and pixel 7? Cheers
I think you nearly sold me on this one (despite my empty box experience last time I fancied a Xiaomi - hence the Oppo Reno2 on contract I got) until you said no zoom lens. I've gone sim only with my cracked back Oppo because I can't decide.
Good information video about the phone 📱

Thanx for that! Anyone got an idea about hou this phone works with Android Auto? Are there issues or does it run just fine on the 12?
Does anyone know if there's any issues with notifications coming through? Seem to remember this being an issue with other Xiaomis
It's a hair's width taller and 5mm narrower than my old and beloved Mix 2s, I agree with you it's relatively compact

Same! Still using the mi mix 2s as my main phone. Unfortunately it seems like the battery is similarly bad on the 12 as on my 4 year old phone. Otherwise I would buy it immediately
How many hrs of SOT did you get on 5G?
can we shoot raw video with 12 or 12x camera??
All great Chris but sadly still not available in Blighty. Why is that, if Xiaomi want market share they should get it on Amazon before the S22 appears (which is still not easily available either).
6.3 is still bloody huge. I've decided to go for iOS this year because Apple offers the iPhone 13 mini. Sadly it does not seem like we are getting another mini device in the future. So I hope Samsung will keep making that lovely S-Series devices with a 6 inch screen.

Keep in mind, the Galaxy S22 is actually wider than the Xiaomi 12 (barely, though) So they're both just as good for one-handed use as each other (even tho the Xiaomi is 6.28" & S22 is 6.1") - it's just that the Mi is a bit taller But also yeah the iPhone mini is indeed way smaller than either of them
Want to see you compare it with the Xiaomi 12X😀 Both very similar spec wise but with a lower price.
I'm still using my M11 which is a lovely phone.
Cant decide between Xiaomi 12 and Realme Gt2 pro. Any tips? Thanks!
how many hours of sot you get on average during the day?
Man of culture there in the video!
Thank you so much. I've bought the phone a few days ago and waiting for it to get delivered to my home. I have seen many people complaining about the phone not having IP68 and some other little things. Thanks to your video it confirms it for me that the phone is for sure worth a buy! I managed to get 400EURO discount on it. The price of the phone is 899EURO and I've bought it for 499EURO in my country.

I really like this phone mostly because it is not huge. Honestly though, I would prefer a telephoto lans from the realistically useless macro one.
He's so bloody honest,
How many streaming services do you have? 5 at least
I actually buy a headphone jack plug (and charger plug although often lose them or forget to put them back in because I actually have to charge my phone with a cable+ it's more efficient) although the headphone jack plug never leaves the phone as long as it is my phone.
Hi how many hours of screen on time do u get daily?
Does this phone have a physical notification led for missed calls, messages?
Hi, what color is this?
Thanks for a great review. I have bought the global Xiaomi 12, and overall I am happy about it, but I have a few questions - perhaps some of you wise people have answeres. Netflix - why does this app doesn't work? The same with Google Pay? It is installed but it won't work?
@tech spurt This is a great phone but where can you buy one?
What is the haptic experience like? I'm trying to decide between this and the Oppo X5. Haptics and vibration feedback seems to be something that next to no-one reports on and yet it can be such an integral part of the UX. Thanks!

What are your wallpapers? Always look cool
I have 8/256 configuration on my Poco F3 and also no expansion memory card and to be honest it’s fine I have big picture and video library and it’s still only 120GB used from 256 and if anything it automatically backing up all pictures to my google account so what’s the need for memory card?
Screen not as bright as my Xiaomi mi8, Any setting I could adjust apart from brightness of course :) cheers
Is it worth to change from ip13 to this?
Where can I download the wallpaper from?
