4.1/5

The Xiaomi 12 Lite is the cheaper version of the base model Xiaomi 12 flagship model, which trades in the flagship grade processor for a more affordable price point. You do get a similar design and camera layout as the more expensive model, but with a different finish to the rear panel, as well as special colour options that make it stand out. You do get the same amazing 120Hz AMOLED display, which features support for Dolby Vision as well as HDR10+ playback. The processor, as we mentioned, is a bit of a letdown, as you get a mid-range Snapdragon 778G 5G instead of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 found in the other models.

Bottom Line

The Xiaomi 12 Lite is a more affordable version of the base model flagship device from the brand, which features a similar design and display and the same larger main camera sensor. You do have to compromise in the performance department, though, as the Snapdragon processor used here is generally reserved for mid-range smartphones instead of flagship killers.
