Xiaomi is officially joining the 200-megapixel train with the unveiling of the 12T Pro, along with its vanilla sibling, as a variation of the China-only Redmi K50 Ultra. There are only two key differences between the Pro and vanilla 12T: the 12T Pro gets a 200-megapixel main camera with OIS, along with a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor and up to 12GB RAM, while the vanilla 12T gets a 108-megapixel main camera with OIS and a Dimensity 8100 processor that’s paired with 8GB RAM.
Save for those differences, both phones come with up to 256GB UFS 3.1 internal storage, and a 5000mAh battery with support for 120w charging. Like the Redmi K50 Ultra, the Xiaomi 12T series has a 6.67-inch 120hz AMOLED panel with an unconventional 1220p resolution and a punch-hole for the 20-megapixel IMX596 selfie shooter.
Other features of both phones include in-display fingerprint scanners, 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, 2-megapixel depth sensor, stereo speakers, NFC, and Android 12-based MIUI 13. Xiaomi commits to 3 years of Android updates and 4 years of security updates for the 12T series.
