Is 120W fast charging safe for battery health?

Yes, Xiaomi uses dual battery cells and a dedicated charging chip to keep temperatures under control. However, it is recommended to use slower charging daily if rapid top-ups are not needed.

Will the Xiaomi 12 Pro still receive software updates in 2026?

In early 2026, the device will still receive the last security patches. Android 15 will likely be the last major operating system update for this model.

How does the camera perform in low-light conditions?

Thanks to the large 50MP main camera sensor, night photos are very detailed and have low noise, competing with mid-range phones even in 2026.

Is the phone waterproof?

The Xiaomi 12 Pro has an IP53 rating, meaning it can withstand light rain and splashes, but should not be submerged in water.

Does the screen support Always-on Display?

Yes, thanks to the LTPO AMOLED panel, Always-on Display is available and very power-efficient, as the screen can lower its refresh rate to 1Hz.

Does the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 get hot during normal use?

During normal use (web browsing, social media), the device stays cool. Heating is noticeable only when playing demanding games or recording video for extended periods.
