This afternoon, Lu Weibing, president of Xiaomi Group China and general manager of the Redmi brand, posted a recommendation for Xiaomi 12 Pro, saying, “I have been using Xiaomi 12 Pro for a long time. This is both a flagship machine and a tough machine”. However, it appears that users will struggle to get this smartphone as it seems to be very popular. The Xiaomi 12 Pro is already on pre-sale on all major platforms in China. The starting price of this device is 4699 yuan $737 for the 8GB + 128GB model. However, some of the models are already selling out. The most popular green leather top version (12GB+256GB) is no longer available on Xiaomi Mall and Jingdong Mall. For this smartphone to sell out this early, it is a sign of things to come. The Xiaomi 12 Pro will likely be in short supply for a few months.
We can understand the popularity of this device. This flagship device uses a second-generation LTPO screen with a screen size of 6.73 inches. Under the hood, it has the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen1 SoC as well as up to 12GB of RAM. In the camera department, this smartphone uses a 32MP front camera. On the rear, it has a 50MP wide-angle, 50MP ultra-wide-angle, and another 50MP camera. To keep its lights on, the Xiaomi 12 Pro comes with a 4600 mAh battery that supports 120W wired, 50W wireless, and 10W reverse charging.
