Editor Rating
4.3/5

The Xiaomi 12 series is the flagship range from the popular Chinese brand, and the 12X is the cheapest variant available on sale from this series. It features the same metal unibody design that features smoothened edges, a sturdy aluminium frame, and a curved 120Hz high-resolution display that slightly wraps around the sides. You also get a stereo sound system that has been tuned by Harman Kardon. Both the audio-visuals have been tuned to deliver a great listening experience, thanks to support for both Dolby Atomos and Dolby Vision. The only thing that is less than ideal is the older processor.

Bottom Line

Xiaomi 12X is the base model of the flagship 12 series, so it shares a lot of the same components that make the series so great but misses out on the powerful processor that is the highlight of this generation.
