Wow you are superman. Full time job and doing good videos. Every phone release is fairly incremental. I have used the redmi note 10s, Poco X3 pro and recently a MI11. Between them, there is not much difference if a casual user. The mi 11 definitely has more. I own a S10 plus. In all honesty, all the phones works as intended.
Thanks for getting this review out so quickly. Only just got a mi 11 but I like the progression on the 12. They just need to focus on getting updates out quicker and giving 3 years of support.
Hi Frankie, on latest MIUI13.0.5 Update Xiaomi MI 11 Ultra finally records video with rear screen enabled and has other features working within it. Finally!
Great review. Unfortunately I will give it a pass. No 4K 30fps at this price on top of no headphone jack and no microSD card with 128GB as base model, sorry no can do!! I love the design though.
@@Александар.П That's not a reason to give it a pass neither to this one nor to any other. A shame that we are accepting getting less for more money as the norm instead of calling it out as loud as we can regardless of our brand loyalty . We are not getting real value for money anymore.

I'm mainly on Samsung camp but I'm not happy with what Samsung has been doing lately either and I call it out whenever I can and the reason I recommend people to consider old flagships over the new releases. I have to draw the line with every brand. Enough is enough, no more passes to any brand.

Hola Frankie no sabia q hablabas español, te sigo desde hace algunos años, excelentes videos, de donde eres originalmente? Tengo un Mi 11i, crees q vale la pena el salto a este nuevo Xiaomi 12 Pro?
Mi 12 series were very dissapointing. 1)The XiaoMi 12 screen downgraded 1440(Mi 11) --> 1080p(Mi 12) 2)The processor became even Hotter .The device couldn't even handle your 3rd test and stopped working 3)The screen of Xiaomi 12 pro looks weird in this video.(Maybe it's that anti flickering thing) 4)Still No Front Camera 4K 5) Expected bigger batteries (due to advanced tech they were hyping) and better charging time(than 30min -> xiaimi 12pro 120W) 6)They ditched the 30X zoom capabilities of Mi 11 .BIG DOWNGRADE... A X2 ZOOM is Pathetic We need to stop praising them and demand Value out of expensive Devices ,Guys I'm a Xiaomi fan but this has started to go the wrong way
@@mrtee183 Exactly! More youtubers need to address this and not act like it's not a big deal. Frankie is talking a bit (not enough, i think) about the downgrades but other "tech reviewers" have turned a blind eye
@@movi_95 Find me a X20 Zoomed Photo of the Mi 11 and Mi 12 pro and if they re comparable i ll say, I'm wrong .(108Mp vs 50mp). Mp is not everything in terms of quality of a photo but when it comes to details when you zoom a lot ,it matters
The fact that they downgraded the screen resolution is the reason why there's not much difference in the pricing of mi 11 and 12 because majority of people would pick a high refresh rate instead of high resolution, but at least they kept important fundamentals like camera, build etc and also you're getting an improved oled panel and heating can be managed through few software updates like they did on mi 11. And since this is a 4nm chipset battery life won't be an issue.
It’s what you expect in many ways from a sequential upgrade experience, price will be key for UK and Europe but I want to see what they do with the Ultra 🤷🏻♂️ Good coverage though Frankie, doff cap to you 👊
Not too sure on the market around the world but my gut feeling is no matter how good the smartphone may be, if the internal space is insufficient for users, he/she will never change to the new set. In short, most producers have over look this area of requirement resulting in losing selling more of their new launch.
The phone is gonna overheat only with maybe 5% of the heavy users. Other people that use the phone for the social media and photography won't even notice this, so this is, in my opinion, not something to worry after if you are an average user. Just buy the phone and enoy the good design, screen and cameras.
I really wish the Xiaomi phones worked in the USA well. I had issues with so many bugs like calls and messages not received or late and the other major thing was app optimization, some apps had weird bugs…. The phone itself was amazing. 1. Screen was gorgeous (loved the 120hz refresh rate) 2. Phone was fast and comfortable to use It’s really a shame but I’m going back to apple 🤦
Thanks! It’s only visible when filming, but it is the worst flickering I’ve ever seen on a phone. And sadly anti-flicker mode is only available in developer settings
Hello Frankie, awesome review as always. Need you quick thoughts on the Xiaomi 11T. I ordered one and I want your honest opinion about the phone. Am a heavy gamer and watch lots of movies and content on my phone. Currently using a realme x2 pro. Thanks buddy
Yup,,agreed with you. This 12 pro is a little bit underwhelmed. Need to re-evaluated my expectations for 12 Ultra . Hope it is a slam dunk😁 By the way, great video as always Frankie 👍✨
Thank you for the review, looks a like good phone but not much upgraded compared to mi 11 pro, and the mi 11 pro has bigger screen and better camera so 🤷
I can only justify better phone design and large sensors. But otherwise not the upgrade from last year's model. I think the Mi 11 Pro was Chinese model only.
i know samsung gets alot of credit for the possible designs before release, especially with camera modules. i mean the S22 was possibly going that way at one stage until they basically merged the note to S series together. The camera tech it self was the big highlight to see if xiaomi was going to do much with the tech. But really felt a little let down in the end with it performance. expected alot more .. i mean they could done so much more - i still think the Mi 11 ultra is the beauty champion! the 12 pro seems a little less pro :( i mean yeah 1500 nits is fantastic but they could pushed it to the 1750 barrier with the S22 coming to have. The battery could be better, But all cons aside, the phone does perform great in real life :) Frankie really does bring balanced reviews and real honest ones! Mi 12 Ultra will be a beast!! :)
@hanstechtalk says there is thermal throttling, iQOO 9 pro cannot back to back run antutu benchmark, is it true? please do a antutu thermal throttling of iQOO 9 Pro
*squints* 30 minutes of screen on time = 45% battery left? Oof, that's no bueno my friend.. Although the cell does take up an even bigger chunk of battery drain.. How long was the standby?
From what I've seen and heard, the SD 8 GEN 1, doesn't really impress me much and everything seems so incremental, there is virtually no reason to upgrade. There's nothing in Xiaomi 12 Pro that my Mi 11 Ultra can't do right now. Hopefully, there will be some real advancements with the Xiaomi 12 Ultra.
@@Crazy09starkillor Virtually any of today's phones would be an upgrade coming from a 3 yr old device, but over last year's device, not much of a difference. You may want to save a few bucks and buy one of last year's phones.
@@jimmcnevin9367 why would I? If I do that I lose out on 1 year of software support, lose out on the Imx 707 (I shoot RAW), also SD 8 Gen 1 is still better than 888, also the screen on this is fantastic, and is also priced quite well, so why not? I don't need xiaomi to try and 'be exciting' when their biggest flaw is software, I actually wish they go all in regarding optimizations and perfecting camera software, debloat all their shitty apps and clean up the ui, add third party launcher gesture support etc, those are more important for them to do imo, hardware wise they have been really solid
@@Crazy09starkillor With being able to flash third party software with a Xiaomi, software updates are not as crucial. Tests have shown the SD 8 Gen 1 runs hotter than the SD 888, which already ran hot. To compensate, the SD 8 Gen 1 is throttled and in some cases, actually runs slower than the SD 888. However, the best SoC in my opinion may actually be the SD 870, which doesn't have the same overheating and throttling issues, but you do what you want.
Hey Frankie, I've been using my Xiaomi 12 Pro for a couple days now. The battery life is really bad, even when I'm not playing any games on it. I end up charging it 3 times a day. Any thoughts on this? I tried playing Mobile Legends, ended up having to uninstall it because of the phone overheating and battery drain.
Sorry to hear you’ve been having issues with battery Brandon. I haven’t pushed it as much as you did I think, but battery I feel was one of the weaker points of this phone. It sounds like the power hungry 8 Gen 1 combined with the 2K display and under 5000 mAh battery is leading to less than stellar endurance. Keep me posted on how it’s doing, and hope it gets better soon!
I think you didn't turn on the boost charging from the settings. If you have turned you should have got it done within 20 mins 🥳 By the way love your content and it is getting better day by day 🥳 Love from Nepal ❤️
For me, I think the bugs noticed isnt going to be a deal breaker. But Xiaomi needs to commit to providing an update to fix these bugs. Also, given that the 12 Pro has some bugs, the major factor in its sales will be the pricing. Just my 2 cents. 😊 All the love from the Philippines.
Frankie first of all nice review. Is it worth to upgrade from Vivo X70 Pro to Mi 12 or Mi12 Pro just for the speakers quality ?? Only thing am missing from Vivo X70 Pro is loudspeaker quality.
Its all about personal preferences, some says the taken photos from 12pro is over saturated others says its dull lack of color and vibrants, for me it serves its purpose 10/10
I like that you mention haptics in your reviews. Xiaomi have really become the king of haptics. At the moment I am using Mi 11 Pro and typing on this phone is fantastic due to the silent but strong haptics. Of all the phones I have used only Pixel 4 XL and S20 Ultra come close (have not tried S21 Ultra). There seems to be two types of flagship haptics, the strong type like on Mi 11/12/ P4XL/S20Ultra and the weaker more subtle type used on iPhone and Poco F3/Mi 11T. I prefer the stronger type.
Good day Frankie. I received a reply on my comment supposedly comingnfrom you that I was among the winners and was asking for shipping payment up front. . But the response does not have your trademark signature. Kindly look into it. Thank you.
Sorry about that bro, there’s been another stupid spam attack on my channel, that was not me! Please ignore and report if you see these fake comments bro! Thanks!
Many users have reported that the lens fogs up when recording at 4k after a few minutes in cold weather or at night, it would be good if you do the test
Amazing review, especially the ship scenes are so awesome 👍 This stupid flickering is really not necessary, so sad to see you efforts and the whole work you put into it and then such annoying flickering. Anyway thanks a lot for your work! Really enjoyed the video!
Appreciate Olli! Yeah the flickering was super annoying! Glad to be done with this review! By the way sorry it appears your comment was held for review, but you still weren't spared from this bloody spam attack! So annoying sorry about that!
Thanks bro! You made it possible! I still think it’s a great phone but ultimately I think we’re still waiting for the true breakthrough release from Xiaomi, this ain’t it! Appreciate the support bro and hope to see you again soon! 😀
@@FrankieTech I think if UK and EU price this right, at around £700 or €800 it could be competitive in the mid-high range. A lot of people could use a phone of this price with this quality 👍🏼 of course, we're tech nerds so we'll definitely be looking forward to the big Flagships 🤣 Xiaomi X Leica is gonna be sickk.
Nice phone but I am expecting to do camera comparison with s20fe with this to see how far it can competence with previous budget phone .. do it if possible please......,..bye take care
Yeah the periscope camera is missing, that's a must for me. If the 12 ultra can give me that along with the phone being lighter than the 11 ultra then I would consider an upgrade.
They didn't want to put this is a 10/10 phone because the 12 Ultra is expecting to drop (or not? According to some rumors. 🤷♂️) But that front camera with no 4K resolution in a flagship phone is still a crime.
Nice video and comments Frankie...btw 4K60 is much better on this phone than 4K30...anyway, I don't believe that this mobile will also be in the EU version
What I love about xioami is that the ultra phones are actually ultra At Samsung or iPhone the ultra phones are just bigger, with not really big improvements At Xiaomi is pretty much a completely different phone
That's not true at all. iPhone 13 pro max and Samsung's ultra phones have significantly better specs, especially with one or two additional cameras, bigger sensors, better front cameras...etc with this Xiaomi you can only record 1080/30fps video vs 4k/60fps with autofocus of Samsung and Apple.
@@paul_2710 it depends on the consumer. I've had plenty cheap phones with 1080/30fps video recording with the front camera. I would never buy a flagship phone without an optical zoom camera and 4k/60fps with ALL cameras.
Yes it is a beautiful city! I’m a trader now for the largest platform for preowned luxury watches, buying and selling and trading brands like Rolex, Patek Philippe and more. I love tech still but I’m loving watches MORE these days 🤣
@@FrankieTech wow that sounds really interesting! I also really like luxury watches. I have a seamaster 300 white dial / black bezel and a datejust 41 wimbledon 👌🏼 keep it up and stay safe. Love your videos! Regards from germany ✌🏼
@@Balota23 wow awesome! Love that Seamaster, but man I’m definitely in love with getting a 41mm Wimbledon at some point!

Thanks for sharing ,it's very nice form Thailand
I think you didn't turn on the boost charging from the settings.
If you have turned you should have got it done within 20 mins 🥳
By the way love your content and it is getting better day by day 🥳
Love from Nepal ❤️
Is there a huge difference between mi 11 pro and this in camera and overheating.. I decided to buy 11pro whats u think?
For me, I think the bugs noticed isnt going to be a deal breaker. But Xiaomi needs to commit to providing an update to fix these bugs.
Also, given that the 12 Pro has some bugs, the major factor in its sales will be the pricing.
Just my 2 cents. 😊
All the love from the Philippines.
How would you review it in the "value for money category" when putting it up against phones from Apple, Samsung etc?
Frankie first of all nice review.
Is it worth to upgrade from Vivo X70 Pro to Mi 12 or Mi12 Pro just for the speakers quality ??
Only thing am missing from Vivo X70 Pro is loudspeaker quality.
Thanks Ben! I honestly don’t think it’s worth the upgrade from that phone. I’d wait for something bigger and better from Xiaomi to upgrade to!
@@FrankieTech thanks Frankie
Camera compairison about Pixel 6 or iPhone 13 :)
I am looking forward to dimensity 9000 and 7000 as these sd chips are frying pans.
Its all about personal preferences, some says the taken photos from 12pro is over saturated others says its dull lack of color and vibrants, for me it serves its purpose 10/10
I like that you mention haptics in your reviews. Xiaomi have really become the king of haptics. At the moment I am using Mi 11 Pro and typing on this phone is fantastic due to the silent but strong haptics. Of all the phones I have used only Pixel 4 XL and S20 Ultra come close (have not tried S21 Ultra). There seems to be two types of flagship haptics, the strong type like on Mi 11/12/ P4XL/S20Ultra and the weaker more subtle type used on iPhone and Poco F3/Mi 11T. I prefer the stronger type.
It is worth to upgrade from mi 11 to xiaomi 12 or 12 pro?
from mi11 to mi12 is just normal,
12Pro will be a upgrade
Good day Frankie.
I received a reply on my comment supposedly comingnfrom you that I was among the winners and was asking for shipping payment up front. . But the response does not have your trademark signature.
Kindly look into it.
Thank you.
Sorry about that bro, there’s been another stupid spam attack on my channel, that was not me! Please ignore and report if you see these fake comments bro! Thanks!
so beautiful mr. Frankie 💯💯💯
Why didn't you show sample of 4k 60fps and 8k 24fps.
Finally the video I have been waiting for the earlier ones felt like leaks tbh
Well, I’ve been doing content of Xiaomi 12 Pro all week, including my camera and throttle tests, go check them out too
Many users have reported that the lens fogs up when recording at 4k after a few minutes in cold weather or at night, it would be good if you do the test
Good Day Sir Frankie 🧡

Amazing review, especially the ship scenes are so awesome 👍 This stupid flickering is really not necessary, so sad to see you efforts and the whole work you put into it and then such annoying flickering. Anyway thanks a lot for your work! Really enjoyed the video!
Appreciate Olli! Yeah the flickering was super annoying! Glad to be done with this review! By the way sorry it appears your comment was held for review, but you still weren't spared from this bloody spam attack! So annoying sorry about that!
Do a review on Realme GT 2 pro if it's already available, please
Great indepth review as always bro
Thanks bro as always!
Great review, a bit more positive than I expected but still great down-to-earth review! Lol I love the timelapse with the Speedmaster.
Thanks bro! You made it possible! I still think it’s a great phone but ultimately I think we’re still waiting for the true breakthrough release from Xiaomi, this ain’t it! Appreciate the support bro and hope to see you again soon! 😀
@@FrankieTech I think if UK and EU price this right, at around £700 or €800 it could be competitive in the mid-high range. A lot of people could use a phone of this price with this quality 👍🏼 of course, we're tech nerds so we'll definitely be looking forward to the big Flagships 🤣 Xiaomi X Leica is gonna be sickk.
It's has over saturation issues in the camera I hope xiaomi fixes it in their upcoming software updates. After the update camera would be too good🔥👌🏻
So here i am still stuck with my mi 8 (2017). Will it worth the upgrade from mi 8 to 12 pro? 😂
😁😂 seeing Jean Claude Van Dam me dance is the best memories of my life (a total classic)
Haha always a classic! 🤣
Is that xiaumi 12 pro coming out glabally?
Please check mi 12 's virtual proximity sensor in call, mi 11 was awful job.
Nice phone but I am expecting to do camera comparison with s20fe with this to see how far it can competence with previous budget phone .. do it if possible please......,..bye take care
Good video Frankie tech
Great review, this 12 Pro is definitely a downgrade from 11 Pro in my opinion. Not worth it at all.
I agree it is a downgrade in almost everything except charging speed and display
Yeah the periscope camera is missing, that's a must for me. If the 12 ultra can give me that along with the phone being lighter than the 11 ultra then I would consider an upgrade.
I'm happy I got a mi 11t pro 256gb it came with a free mi watch and free mi Bluetooth 5 earbuds
They didn't want to put this is a 10/10 phone because the 12 Ultra is expecting to drop (or not? According to some rumors. 🤷♂️)
But that front camera with no 4K resolution in a flagship phone is still a crime.
Agreed bro it is a crime! Yeah perhaps that’s why! We shall see!
very good review !
Very balanced device overall. Probably the mi 12x or the realme gt 2 pro are better choices though, if priced correctly
How much is it in dollars?
Beautiful color 💙
Nice video and comments Frankie...btw 4K60 is much better on this phone than 4K30...anyway, I don't believe that this mobile will also be in the EU version
shots fired at technick👀
Thanks frankie
Plis review xiaomi 12 regular
Wow that speaker on the 12.
Ну наконец-то, полный обзор
Creo que tu fuiste el primero en el mundo en subirlo a youtube
What I love about xioami is that the ultra phones are actually ultra
At Samsung or iPhone the ultra phones are just bigger, with not really big improvements
At Xiaomi is pretty much a completely different phone
That's not true at all. iPhone 13 pro max and Samsung's ultra phones have significantly better specs, especially with one or two additional cameras, bigger sensors, better front cameras...etc with this Xiaomi you can only record 1080/30fps video vs 4k/60fps with autofocus of Samsung and Apple.
@@canalconsumismo5497 lmao
Well that's just a few better specs
Not big things
@@paul_2710 it depends on the consumer. I've had plenty cheap phones with 1080/30fps video recording with the front camera. I would never buy a flagship phone without an optical zoom camera and 4k/60fps with ALL cameras.
Why you're no test Pubg mobile and support 90FPS ?
I really loved this blue color 🌅💙
I'll stick to my mi 11 pro I think. Hongkong is a beautiful city! What full time job do you have if I am allowed to ask - tech related?
Yes it is a beautiful city! I’m a trader now for the largest platform for preowned luxury watches, buying and selling and trading brands like Rolex, Patek Philippe and more. I love tech still but I’m loving watches MORE these days 🤣
@@FrankieTech wow that sounds really interesting! I also really like luxury watches. I have a seamaster 300 white dial / black bezel and a datejust 41 wimbledon 👌🏼 keep it up and stay safe. Love your videos! Regards from germany ✌🏼
@@Balota23 wow awesome! Love that Seamaster, but man I’m definitely in love with getting a 41mm Wimbledon at some point! I have Speedmaster Professional, Tudor Black Bay Chrono, GMT and Fifty-Eight but my favorite is my Oyster Perpetual 41mm Green Dial! Hope to introduce my business and chat about your collection soon! Feel free to reach out to Francisco.Herrera@thewatchbox.com
Mi 10 Pro/Ultra were the last amazing and well-rounded flagships by Xiaomi.
Add Mi 11 Pro to that list.
Love the look of the Xiaomi 12 Pro 👍
Yeah no doubt Monty! Design is definitely one of the highlights!
Hope you do review of mi 12x....
L1 party on Frankie Tech 🕺🏻🎉
Yeah but Prime video is only showing in SD
Flashing that Speedmaster 👍
Hehe glad you like it 😜
@@FrankieTech Watch-dude mysel 😁 Skipped the Speedmaster though. But it's a undeniable sexy classic.

The design is stunning but that flickering is off putting I'll still keep me note 9 pro cheers Frankie 👍🙏
