Xiaomi 12T is attracting attention, since it is one of the latest proposals of the brand within its high-end catalog. However, it is necessary to consider how this proposal compares to the rest of the Xiaomi models that seem to have a combination of similar characteristics.
We have already compared this model with the Xiaomi 12T Pro, Xiaomi 12 and the Xiaomi 11T. And now it’s time to see how it differs from the Xiaomi 12X.
Same design, different size
Although at first glance the design of the Xiaomi 12T and the Xiaomi 12X do not seem to have major differences, we cannot say the same in terms of size.
The Xiaomi 12X is a very comfortable mobile to carry in your hand with a height of about 152.7 mm and 69.9 mm width, compared to 163.1 x 75.9 mm of the Xiaomi 12T. And yes, you will also notice the difference in weight, about 26 grams less for the Xiaomi 12X.
As for the rest of the design, there are more similarities than differences, beyond the rounded edges and its elegant colors. Both have an in-display fingerprint sensor, dual Dolby Atmos speakers, and the same design for the camera module.
Screens that differ in details
The Xiaomi 12T has a 6.67-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen with 120 Hz refresh rate and 480 Hz touch sampling rate. As for the Xiaomi 12X, we have a 6.28-inch screen with the same main features that we saw in the Xiaomi 12T.
In other words, in both we have the 120 Hz refresh rate and 480 Hz touch sampling frequency. However, there are some differences to consider. For example, the Xiaomi 12T can offer up to 900 nits of maximum brightness, and the Xiaomi 12X reaches around 1100 nits.
And if you are interested in screen protection, you will find that the Xiaomi 12T has Corning Gorilla Glass 5 and the Xiaomi 12X with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus.
Power and performance by Mediatek and Qualcomm
Xiaomi 12T has a great feature: it is the first mobile device to have the MediaTek Dimensity 8100 Ultra. So there is still no big data on its performance, beyond the expectations created by having a latest generation 5nm processor.
As for the Xiaomi 12X, we have a processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 870. A high-end processor launched in early 2021, which is between the features offered by the Snapdragon 865+ and the Snapdragon 888, since it aims to be a cheaper proposal without losing performance.
As for the proposal in RAM and internal storage, it is the same: 8 GB + 128 GB and 8 GB + 256 GB. And not a minor fact is that both have UFS 3.1 type storage.
Other details that we can mention is that both have liquid cooling systems, although Xiaomi mentions that the system offered by the 12T is 65% larger than that of previous models.
In the rest of the specifications, we find NFC, WiFi 6, 5G SA and NSA, Dual GPS… And one difference to note is that the Xiaomi 12T has Bluetooth 5.3 and the 12X has Bluetooth 5.1.
Different proposals in battery and charging
Turning to the autonomy that these two Xiaomi proposals can offer, we find a 5,000 mAh battery in the 12T and a 4,500 mAh battery in the 12X.
As for fast charging, the Xiaomi 12T is compatible with a 120W fast charge, which promises to fully charge the mobile in 19 minutes. And if we go to the Xiaomi 12X, the fast charge is 67W, which could complete 100% in 39 minutes.
Both are more than enough for you to have a full day of autonomy. Of course, it will depend on the use of the device and your needs.
A photographic section more interesting than another
Maybe just by reading that the Xiaomi 12T has a 108 megapixel main sensor Let’s think that it wins the game over the Xiaomi 12X.
However the 50 MP 12X main sensor is nothing less than a Sony IMX766. One of the most chosen sensors among this year’s mid/high range mobiles for its advanced features.
And if we look at the complete photographic section, we will see that the Xiaomi 12X has a more balanced proposal, with its 13-megapixel ultra-wide angle and a 5-megapixel telemacro sensor.
As for the Xiaomi 12T, the camera module is completed with an 8 megapixel ultra wide angle and a 2 megapixel macro sensor. As for the front, we have a 20-megapixel sensor on the Xiaomi 12T, and a 32-megapixel sensor on the 12X.
Price, conclusions, Xiaomi 12T or Xiaomi 12X?
We have already seen that, in general terms, both mobiles have similar characteristics.
As he Xiaomi 12T like the 12X have a screen that will allow you to enjoy to the fullest any multimedia content or games. It is true, the screen of the Xiaomi 12X is much smaller, but it also has its plus if you like mobile phones that are easy to carry in your hand.
As for the configurations, both have the same proposal in RAM and storage, although the Xiaomi 12T has an extra by brand new processor recently launched on the market, which promises to improve performance and energy efficiency. Of course, it will have to be tested if its performance goes hand in hand with expectations.
If we turn to autonomy, the Xiaomi 12T has a more complete proposal, but it does not mean that the Xiaomi 12X left you halfway. Of course, everything will depend on the use and your habits with the mobile, but the 4500 mAh they can give you the autonomy you need for a full day without problems.
And if we go to the cameras, we have already seen that it is not enough to take a look at the number of megapixels of the main sensor, and we must take into account all the details of the photographic section.
So it may be that what makes the real difference for you, when choosing one model or another, is the price, so let’s make a quick comparison. The Xiaomi 12T is around 600 to 650 dollar, depending on the version. And the Xiaomi 12X, at about 700 dollar in the 8GB +256 version.
