The 12 series from Xiaomi is one of the most value-for-money flagship series in the market today, and the 12 Pro makes the strongest case for that proposition. You get the same design, build quality, and striking colours as the other flagship models, which give the device a premium look and feel. You also get a vibrant and brilliant display, an extremely fast-charging battery and the latest Snapdragon processor. There is even a quad-speaker setup that has been tuned by Harman Kardon to sound the best. But the real highlight of the phone is perhaps the one thing most people would consider a minus point, i.e. the tried and tested 50MP triple camera array, which features a pro-grade wide, ultrawide and telephoto lens.
