Compact dimensions and flagship-grade internals make the Xiaomi 12 a rare breed. Its combination of performance, image quality, premium design and capable cameras would normally be reserved for larger handsets, but there are no such compromises here for those who prefer a more palm-friendly phone. It just lacks a few features – a telephoto rear camera and expandable storage, for example – that would make it truly exceptional.

The Xiaomi 12 is an attractive flagship phone that’s a little rough around the edges. While its small form, attractive design and fast charging ensure it plays well in the big leagues, its cameras, display and software experience are only ‘okay’. Given that this is a high-price flagship phone, we had hoped for better.
