Xiaomi announces the 12T series with the Pro having a 200MP camera sensor
Xiaomi today unveiled its latest flagship smartphone to international markets Xiaomi 12T Series. Xiaomi 12T Pro and Xiaomi 12T both feature Xiaomi’s latest imaging system for those seeking enhanced performance and creative ways to produce content.
Flagship imaging systems offer images rich with detail
Both Xiaomi 12T Series flagships feature pro-grade cameras that offer users an exceptional smartphone photography experience. Featuring a pro-grade 200MP imaging system backed by ground-breaking hardware and Xiaomi’s own advanced AI algorithms, Xiaomi 12T Pro delivers superb imagery with high clarity, accurate night photography, and quick focusing. These together with a variety of other optimisations allow for the capturing of fine details, even in low-light conditions, or when shooting fast-moving subjects, without losing focus.
The camera also features an in-sensor 2x zoom that can utilise the capabilities of the large 1/1.22″ sensor size, ideal for portrait shots. With Xiaomi ProCut and Ultra burst, Xiaomi 12T Pro helps you to crop and create professional-looking content intelligently. To unlock movie-making creativity, Xiaomi 12T Pro supports 8K video in full resolution.
Meanwhile, Xiaomi 12T implements a triple camera array: a 108MP pro-grade primary camera, 8MP ultra-wide camera, and 2MP macro camera. Powerful low-light capabilities deliver crisp and bright pictures, even in challenging situations.
Mega performance to power the ultimate experience
Xiaomi 12T Pro is equipped with the best Snapdragon processor with a leading 4nm TSMC manufacturing process, which significantly enhances the performance of CPU and GPU by 16.7% and 11% respectively compared to Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, and reduces the power consumption of each by 33% and 30%. Equipped with a heat dissipation system comprised of a vapour chamber 65% larger with 125% higher thermal material coverage than the Xiaomi 11T Pro, the Xiaomi 12T Pro also provides a smooth user experience and great power efficiency without worrying about overheating.
Xiaomi 12T is powered by MediaTek’s leading chipset — MediaTek Dimensity 8100-Ultra which is built on the 5nm TSMC manufacturing process. The chip is fully upgraded with an all-new GPU structure, increasing performance and power efficiency by up to 30% compared to its predecessor, as well as the clock, cache, and storage speeds, leading to a much faster user experience. Whether it’s capturing incredible photos and videos, watching movies, or scrolling social media, Xiaomi 12T delivers peak performance across all your favourite moments.
Mega battery to extend your favourite moments
Xiaomi 12T Series offers incredible battery life, even amongst Xiaomi flagships, plus exceptionally fast charging. Both phones have a large 5,000mAh battery and feature 120W HyperCharge.

Additionally, with Xiaomi AdaptiveCharge, the devices learn users’ day-to-day charging routines to optimise long-term battery health. Supported by Xiaomi’s long-lasting battery and supercharging, users can confidently go anywhere, do anything, and never miss a moment.
Stunning display meets stunning design
A mega viewing experience is a given with Xiaomi 12T Series’ 6.67″ CrystalRes AMOLED display. With 1220p resolution and over 68 billion colours, both are perfectly designed to balance clarity, colourful details, and power efficiency. The display is also enhanced by intelligent features such as AdaptiveSync, which dynamically adjusts refresh rate based on content viewed. Meanwhile, for all users who interact with their phones for prolonged periods, Adaptive Reading mode reduces the amount of blue light emitted to improve eye comfort.
Xiaomi 12T Series is accented with an iconic premium design. A curved frosted back reduces fingerprints on the back panel, along with a compact in-hand feel. Front and back, top to bottom, this is a complete flagship design language offered in 3 stunning colours: Black, Silver, and Blue.
