Thank you so much, Chris, for your opinions on this smartphone... been waiting for a proper review on it for a long time! This smartphone will definitely be one I will consider buying. Just a shame there's no expandable storage, but beggers can't be choosers.
He talked about curved phone not curved screen. Curved phone with flat screen is best.. this apple bullshit flat android phones are ugly as hell and very uncomfortable to hold
I don't know why everyone is so fanboying 870, I have a 778g and it's more than capable for everyday tasks, handles everything like a breeze and gaming is decent as well. It's also a newer and slightly more efficient architecture.
well of course it's good but next year, two years later so on so on the games are more demanding unlike the Snapdragon 870 chip thats is future secured
Xiaomi 12 Lite is a nice phone, but at the 400$ price, you're better off getting the 11lite 5g NE for about 240-260$. The only really big upgrade here, compared to the previous model is the camera, the rest is more or less the same. And yes, I'm aware you may receive more updates, but is Xiaomi, they tend to update stuff quite slowly anyway. Just look at 2:47 the phone is on Android 12 but the security patch is from April.
@@romernous Hmm, didn't see anything on line about the power button, most people just complained about the screen, depending on who made the screen, is either a great one or a mediocre one.
@Heseth Pfff you better buy second hand phones it's way cheaper than brand newly released phones. If you truly seeking for cheap price better go forSD855+, SD865, SD865+ just what happened to Pocophone F1 its 100$ now. also iPhone XS is now 250$. Better aim for flagship devices not the midget phone. 2018, 2019,2020 Flagship phones can now be bought for a cheap price compare to your Mi 11 lite 5G NE which is still roughly 300$.. LMFAO🤣... SMH🤦🏽♂️
@@datsmoke4363 I would buy second hand, but in my country people tend to keep their phones longer than your average 2-3 years. By the time they sell it, the phone won't be in a great shape. Do you wanna buy a Poco F1 for 150$ without a charger, dead battery and scratched screen ? I don't think so, that's the situation here in my place. So yeah, i would rather pay 220-240 for a xiaomi 11 lite 5g NE or a Samsung A52s than buying what ever SH phone some guy had 3 years ago.
Thanks TS, I still miss my Mi9 lite, The size, the weight. This seems like an ideal and pocket-able mid-ranger with a capable chip. My R Note10 Pro is a heavy shovel, so a light and handy handset is overdue..
Same...when i added a phone case to my Note 10 pro i just couldn't use it (i have small hands)...it's a great phone really but i think this could be a perfect switch
I got my gf the mi9 lite when it first dropped & im upgrading her to this for her birthday. mi 9 lite is still going okay-ish but complaints about camera quality compared to my poco f3 & battery isn't in top condition anymore so i think this will be the perfect upgrade.
As a Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G user, I find it disappointing that the 12 lite is not as slim as its predecessor. The light weight, thinner dimensions and beautiful glass back (white) were one of the main reasons I chose this phone. Other than that, the internals of newer 12 lite aren't much different so I'll be keeping my 11.
@@honeypower A good IPS isn't way worse to look. I have phones with all kind of screens and good IPS can actually have as good colours etc. They are never better though and can have some light bleed in full dark screen. I guess their benefit is that they are almost immortal compared to OLED that has more limited life span.
Not any OLED this is 12 bit colors OLED that makes it capable of 12 bit Dolby vision in it's full glory no other phone has that except for the Xiaomi 12 and 12 pro.
The 120hz is smooth but Apple fan try to open and close many app in 20 seconds clumsily and then say than the phone is laggy, not fluid but in in reality it is buttery smooth
This one could use a better processor, battery and sd card support. Midrange buyers look for future proofing, like Sony Xperias that you can just manually update using AOSP.
Right, does it let you watch Netflix and amazon prime movies in HD??? I returned my xiaomi last year and my Google 6pro because it doesn't let you!!! It's all good getting cheaper phones but not being able to watch HD movie content is just ludicrous! Will reluctantly stick with Samsung and getting the S22 plus which looks and feels the best out of the S22 line ups..
Since the Mi 11T - Xiaomi has committed to update all new released phones (Mi 11T included) to get 3 years for OS Updates and 4 years of security updates.
Hey Tech Spurt I just finish watching your amazing review for this phone and I have questions in mind.. What is better overall for you Last year's Poco F3 or this Xiaomi 12 lite
Is it possible to switch to a super wide-angle lens while shooting video with a 1080P, 30FPS, wide-angle (main) lens? Or do I need to stop shooting to switch lenses?
See your ranting and raving does not fall on deaf ears lmao. BTW that MIUI is not bad....a bit weird sometimes but not bad at all. And it does charge superfast. Let's see if Android 12 turns up at some point. Frankly I think my Xiaomi is better than that 12 Lite you got there....it has bigger battery, bigger screen, sd card support and the headphone jack. I would suggest getting an antivirus since they're pretty slow on security upgrades.
@@HShango Just did a quick comparison between the S21 Ultra and the Xiaomi....I got them both playing the Katy Perry video 'Dark Horse'...it's damn good...gives the flagship a run for it's money...that video is pretty colourful that's why I keep a copy lol Not using the default player tho...it sucks. I have the XPlayer for videos.
Kind of regret getting the 11 lite ne. While I like the look of my phone, this one looks even better. But I don't regret this too much as I bought my phone way before this one at February this year and the price might be a deal breaker.
Not just an OLED screen this is 12 bit colors OLED that makes it capable of 12 bit Dolby vision in it's full glory no other phone has that except for the Xiaomi 12 and 12 pro.
Cant believe how nice specs for my money, i got it new for 200$ ofc its a year ago it released, but still, its better han Xiaomi redmi 12 so it was a no brainer for me 😅
I was between the Xiaomi 12 Lite and the Pixel 6, for blogging. Just got the pixel 6 for £300. But still hesitant, as it feels too heavy. Which one is better at that price point? Cheers!
@CamoTech Boi now it's rare.. but 780G won't last... as days turned into years that 780G will soon become cheap.. better start selling it now before it gets deteriorated 🤣
starting at 400€. lol. it's basically the same as 11 lite 5g/ne but without memorycard support and different display. kinda funny that you can buy a52s 300€, s20fe for less than 400€ or even s21 fe usually on the same price.
Bro i got the redmi note 11! I love the size! I love the birghtness and oled screen. stereo speakers. These are the only things really important to me. 120 HZ would be sick! Cant wait to buy redmi note 12 when it comes out! I like the base redmi phone as i use it with the monitor plus app to monitor my sony cameras. FX3
