Does the 200MP camera really take better pictures than regular cameras?

The 200MP sensor allows for photos that can be cropped very large without losing detail. Under normal conditions, the phone uses pixel binning to create 12.5MP images with excellent dynamic range.

Is 120W charging safe for the battery's health?

Xiaomi uses two separate battery cells and 42 safety features. Although fast charging generates heat, the system is designed to maintain battery life similar to slower-charging phones.

Is the Xiaomi 12T Pro waterproof?

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

Does this model support eSIM?

Yes, the Xiaomi 12T Pro supports eSIM, allowing you to use two phone numbers without a second physical SIM card.

How is the screen readability in direct sunlight?

Thanks to its 900 nits peak brightness and AMOLED technology, the screen is easily readable in sunlight, although it falls slightly short of the most expensive flagships.

Does the phone support a memory card?

No, the Xiaomi 12T Pro lacks a microSD card slot, so we recommend choosing a model with sufficient internal storage (128GB or 256GB).
