Since 618, the price of Xiaomi 12X has actually risen a little, and it has returned to the starting price of 2699. The price of Xiaomi 12S is also relatively strong. It has been maintained at 3999 for a long time. However, there is a discount of 200 yuan during the National Day. The current price is 3799 yuan . The price difference between the two is 1100 yuan, which is not big or small. So, what are the improvements of Xiaomi 12S compared to Xiaomi 12X for the 1100 yuan difference of ?
1. Performance improvement
Xiaomi 12S uses Snapdragon 8+ processor, and Xiaomi 12X uses Snapdragon 870 processor. The performance gap between the two is still large. Compared with Snapdragon 870, Snapdragon 8+ is at least two levels of . This performance gap can be perceived. Not only in game scenarios, but also the smoothness of daily applications is better.
2. Photo improvement
Both phones are equipped with 50 megapixel main camera + 13 megapixel ultra-wide angle + 5 megapixel macro camera. The difference is this main camera.
Xiaomi 12X uses IMX766 sensor. The base size of this CMOS is 1/1.56-inch , supports full pixel omnidirectional focus , supports optical anti-shake , and the photo quality is OK, and it is used on many mid-to-high-end mobile phones.
Xiaomi 12S uses IMX707 sensor. The base size of this CMOS reaches 1/1.28 inches, and can output 2.44μm large pixels in four-in-one. In addition, also supports optical anti-shake , and Leica has the optimization involved, and the photo quality is extremely excellent.
In terms of photography strength, Xiaomi 12S is stronger than Xiaomi 12X, and this gap is not small.
3. Battery life is improved
The battery size of these two phones is 4500mAh. However, due to the Snapdragon 8+ greatly improving energy efficiency, the battery life of Xiaomi 12S is slightly better than that of Xiaomi 12X after actual measurements of .
4. Improve charging capacity
Their wired charging speeds are all 67W, but Xiaomi 12S also supports 50W wireless charging and 10W reverse charging , while Xiaomi 12X does not support it.
Overall, the improvement of Xiaomi 12S compared to Xiaomi 12X is in these four aspects, including performance, photography, battery life and charging . As for other aspects, the two are basically the same. Let’s talk about it below.
5. Screen quality
Both use a 6.28-inch OLED screen with resolution 2400*1080, PPI are both 419, and suppliers are Huaxing Optoelectronics , both support 120HZ refresh rate, and the appearance is good.
However, there is a small difference between these two screens, that is, the Xiaomi 12X originally supported the 480HZ touch sampling rate, while the Xiaomi 12S shrank to 240HZ. I don’t know what the consideration was castrated.
6. Body measurement size
Both are exactly the same, both are 152.7mm*69.9mm*8.16mm. The difference is that Xiaomi 12X weighs 176 grams , while Xiaomi 12S weighs 182 grams . This should be the difference caused by the difference between the processor and the main camera sensor.
Other aspects, both of them use X axis linear motor , Harman Katon symmetric stereo dual speakers, full-function NFC, infrared and screen fingerprint recognition functions.
is OK. The difference between these two phones should have been explained thoroughly. objectively means that I think the difference of 1100 is still worth . From the perspective of experience, Xiaomi 12S is indeed better. However, if everyone's application scenario is relatively simple and there is no high performance requirement, then Xiaomi 12X can also meet the needs.
