It has a MediaTek Dimensity 1080 5G SoC, up to 12GB of LPDDR4X RAM, and 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage. With a 200MP primary sensor on the back and help from an 8MP ultrawide angle sensor and a 2MP macro sensor, the phone does admirably in the optics department, while for selfies, a 16MP camera is hidden inside the punch-hole. A 5,000mAh battery that supports 67W rapid charging powers the Note 12 Pro. Additionally, it gets support for Dolby Vision, Hi-Res audio, a 3.5mm audio jack, an IP rating, runs Android 12 with MIUI 13 on top, and comes with a promise of 2 major Android upgrades and 4 years of security upgrade.

Xiaomi 11i Hypercharge

The Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge 5G‘s fastest charging speed, which made news in 2022, is its main selling point.
