I'm really considering getting this phone. I want a phone that feels new and modern and with great cameras, but I really don't want an 8 Gen 1 or 888 processor because of the overheating issues. I've had phones that warmed up to really annoying levels in the past and I really don't want to experience that again. So, by looking at phones with snapdragon 870 processors, the Xiaomi 12X looks like one of the best value-for-money options with the most complete packages (performance, battery, and camera). I'm coming from a Huawei Mate 10 Pro and the dimensions of both phones are almost an exact copy, but with a bigger screen on the Xiaomi 12X, so it sounds like a great option for me :)
Great video. In my opinion this is the best compact phone out now. I'm glad 5G works here in the states. The battery life is a strength as well for such a small device.
Hi, can you please review the virtual proximity sensor since there's a lot of complaints. Would be really helpful to know how the AI sensor fare out against real proximity sensors. Cheers buddy!
Good review, do you think it is better to go for the 12X than the 12 ? I'm not a huge phone gamer and even though I like having a good phone with the latest spec (Snapdragon 8gen1) It would bother me that the 12 is overheating a lot...
★plz help.... Im so much confused... In between samsumg s21 fe and mi12X which one should i go for??? My purposes are 1 - playing game moderately 2- 4k video record as im gonna start vlog 3- slow motion **** [ which phone does good slow mo plz say]
Well I am not spending €700 anymore. Why? Because my Xiaomi 11lite5G, Realme x2pro and Poco F2 I all bought under €400 and they all do what they need to do for me. All of them are NOT supported by my car, Skoda Octavia 4, so I found out. But I noticed Samsung was working, so I bought an M22 (€219) and that cheap phone works like a charm on my car. So now I use it as my main phone, and guess what? It still does everything I want. (yes picures could be better in the dark, but that's it) Who would have thought I could live with 4GB/128GB and 60Hz(instead of 90Hz). Apparently I can (no gamer at all, well solitary and bubble shooter). The only downside is for me still a big screen (6.4") and the heavy weight and the not so fast charging, but I manage one day . The only new phone out there, which has a small screen is from a fruit company. And I don't like fruit. My dream phone would be 5.5", weight about 130 grams and fast charging. Since 5G is expensive and is not really faster (till now) I am happy with a good 4G chip, like an old SD855. Am I the only one?

You have Google Pixel, Samsung S22 and specially Asus zenfone 8 and 7... And all are amazing phones... Still I agree in not buying it for 700 euros. But well is Xiaomi and in 3 months you have it for 200 less...
If the phone had a proper telephoto lense with optical zoom, ip68 and usb 3 then it would be ideal. I am currently wrestling with 3 options (12x , zenfone 8, mate 20 pro)
The phone is amazing but not worth 700 euros. Xiaomi did a terrible move increasing prices. This phone should be max 500 euros on release cause they will make many move to Realme and to other companies. I hope they really drop the price in a few months or release a Redmi alternative.
Really tempted to get this but waiting for launch price (tomorrow) as pricing here is almost half as what EU is getting. Hope they'll price it around 390 Euros. The screen size and form factor is what I'm looking for, not a big fan of huge phones.
Fingers crossed. I also hope they won't price it above 400 euros, otherwise it'll be too expensive. There is a lot of great phones in this price range (Nord 2, GT Neo 2, A52s 5G), so hopefully Xiaomi won't go wild with the price.
please, does his proximity sensor work correctly to listen to whatsapp audios? Do you know if it's the same as the Xiaomi 12 and 12 Pro? hugs from Brazil.
If you look at the specs on GSMArena the 12 and 12pro had virtual proximity sensors while the 12x has the standard IR one. So I think it should work fine.
@@Ryuseigan 12x also has a virtual proximity sensor which doesn't work closely with correctly. There are videos online showing this and also it's mentioned in many reviews
@@curl3v252 If price of Xiaomi 12X will be lower it might replace my F3 hoping 12X price will be less than 300Euro. It has the same SD870 chipset but better screen and charging speed.
Finally a normal person reviewing the Xiaomi, not the benchmark crazy people who look at numbers like it's a super car.
Totally agree hahaha

If it had an sd card slot nd headphone jack , would be jackpot,
so, which phone did you get ?
I just bought it mainly for its size. I'm quite tired of massive smartphones
I want to buy just because of it. Only thing,i dont play games but...what about the battery🤔
Great video. In my opinion this is the best compact phone out now. I'm glad 5G works here in the states. The battery life is a strength as well for such a small device.
Perfect option to replace my Xiaomi Mi 6 (the last compact Xiaomi flagship phone)
Omg i used Mi5😂

Its the BEST that you go with 12X. You'll save money too
Go with 12x since youre not mibile gamer. only thing thats missing in the 12X is wireless charging.
Got my 12X for 1 month and it's a really good phone (even if I had to wait 1 week for the Xiaomi bypass to put a custom firmware)
@@Raeksnake and how is the battery life?

Great info and review as always for the Xiaomi 12X.👍
hi
The proximity sensor it's work good with this phone?
Thanks TL, This phone sells for over $700- in Canada which is Galaxy S21 territory...
If it only had a 3x zoom or something... that would really finish it :)
I used mi5 and last me 4.5 years. Im sure this is a good phone
wow.. I wish I am like you a keeper
my phone last only 6-12mos max ... then replaced

Not getting it for 700euro. It's quite overpriced for an older SD870 chipset.
Still deciding to get this or the k50 pro since they almost have the same price
quick question what happen to those phone that youtuber unbox after?
You can adjust the area for accidental touches in settings

excellent mid range flagship from Xiaomi, loved it!

xiaomi 12x or samsung s21 fe??? there is a great dilemma
12x I better than s22

how îs the software on this Xiaomi 12 X?
Just like on any other Xiaomi phone
@@TechLineHD i think the best options are Samsung Galaxy A53,Realme GT 2 , Realme GT Neo 2 regarding value for money

same here bro😂❤
you skipped the IP53 part. That is also a downside. But nothing major.
Does anybody has any expirience with Android Auto connected to 12x?

where you from?
Nice design and size but without wireless charging and any kind of ip rating, I wouldn't call it a flagship.
It's not a flagship, linus said it feels like a flagship. The pro and ultra are the flagships
No flicker option? That’s nice for my eyes…
Is the screen panel LTPO 2.0?
@@pictograph exactly, still a great display tho
It's been priced little more than other sd870 phones, but still waiting for its launch in Indian market since December.
Me too bro
When it will be launch in india ?
So that why I couldn't find it on Indian market.
What would be the price range ?
Was gonna buy realme gt2 but seems like it has issues.
Either have 12X or wait for 12S as 8 Gen 1 in 12 is a bit of a power hog, battery life isn't good.
Overall balance is 12X.
Poco F3 vs 12x
Please
It's not compact, such misleading title. iPhone 13 Mini and Sony XZ1 is compact.
Yup, there are no compact Androids anymore, Sony XZ2 Compact was the last one.
Most compact Androids on sale now are Sony 5/10 and Zenfone 8...
this or the 11T Pro
can the front camera record 4k？
