Should you buy the Xiaomi 12 Pro?

The Xiaomi 12 Pro is a flagship offering from the brand. The handset ships with a gorgeous 2K AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, an impressive 120W charging support, and a 50MP primary camera sensor on the back. The phone gets its power from the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, which can handle day-to-day tasks with ease and no lag. The primary camera can click decent to good images in bright light conditions and the impressive fast charging speeds are an added bonus. 

On the flip side, the performance is not entirely satisfactory as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 has throttling issues, especially in extreme conditions like gaming or recording UHD videos. Regardless of these shortcoming, the Xiaomi 12 Pro at Rs 39,999 is a decent value but there are faster options like the OnePlus 11R and iQOO Neo 7 Pro at similar/much-lesser price.
