Yesterday, Xiaomi held its second on-ground launch event of the year in India, where the Xiaomi 12 Pro and Xiaomi Pad 5 were unveiled to the Indian public. The Xiaomi 12 Pro and Xiaomi Pad 5 are well-known, as both devices have been available in some Chinese and European markets for some time.

Xiaomi 12 Pro

The Xiaomi 12 Pro, Xiaomi’s “showstopper” smartphone, was launched in India today. Xiaomi’s flagship Android smartphone was released in global markets earlier this year. It is currently the Xiaomi 12 series’ top-tier smartphone in the world. Qualcomm’s top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC powers the Xiaomi 12 Pro. Xiaomi has also launched the Xiaomi Pad 5 in India, in addition to the Xiaomi 12 Pro. The Android tablet has an 11-inch display and a Snapdragon 860 processor.

Specifications and Features

A 6.73-inch QHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate is included in the Xiaomi 12 Pro. The screen has a Corning Gorilla Glass Victus layer and a peak brightness of 1500 nits. The screen also has a 240Hz sampling rate for touch.

There’s a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC under the hood. In India, it comes with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. The phone’s 4600 mAh battery supports 120W fast charging right out of the box. Additionally, 50W wireless charging and 10W reverse wireless charging are supported.

The Xiaomi 12 Pro camera setup on the back includes three 50MP sensors. Optical image stabilisation is supported by the main 50MP Sony IMX707 camera.

Specifications and Features
