Xiaomi ha triunfado con el 12 Lite. Un diseño de móvil francamente ligero y cómodo que va acompañado de un gran rendimiento, gran duración de batería y cámaras sorprendentemente buenas. Es un gran todoterreno y hace que te preguntes: ¿tiene sentido comprarme un móvil más caro?

The Xiaomi 12 Lite is an affordable smartphone that combines a gorgeous iridescent design with a smooth display and equally slick 67W fast charging. The 108-megapixel camera delivers bright results with natural colours but images are over-sharpened and the phone misses out on some key features available on the Xiaomi 12.
