All the differences between the new models: Xiaomi 12 vs Xiaomi 12 Pro vs Xiaomi 12X
Design and display
It is precisely on the design and display that the greatest differences between the three models are denoted. It almost seems that Xiaomi, with the launch of the basic variant and the Pro, wanted to address two completely different audiences: on the one hand we find the Xiaomi 12 with display OLED da 6.28 "Full HD + and on the other - in the Pro variant - a panel Quad HD + Samsung E5 da 6,73". In both cases, however, we have protection Gorilla Glass Foods e IP68 certification. As for the small of the series, Xiaomi 12X, this has nothing to envy to the older brothers since we have a style (and most of the specifications) borrowed directly from the standard 12 model.

Xiaomi 12 presents itself to us with a trio of sensors from 50 + 13 + 5 MP, while the Pro variant opts for a 50 + 50 + 50 MP. A notable difference which, on balance, translates into the use of the unprecedented Sony IMX707 as main sensor on Xiaomi 12 Pro, replaced - instead - by Sony IMX766 on the standard variant.
More we find differences in relation to secondary sensors: wide-angle and telemacro on the 12 and telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom on the Pro. The selfie camera does not change, both smartphones opt for a solution from 32 MP.
