Reviews
Overall rating and the reviews that impact it
Pros
Camera
The 108-megapixel camera delivers bright results with natural colours.
[trustedreviews]
The Xiaomi 12 Lite is a fun selfie-focused phone that does a good job in most areas, combining rich styling with a great screen.
[digitalcameraworld]
The Xiaomi 12 Lite arrives a bit later than the rest of the 12 series. Aside from the completely revamped, boxy and trendy design, it brings an updated 120Hz OLED panel, a better 108MP main camera and faster charging.

Another notable update is the selfie camera. It has a higher, 32MP resolution, but more importantly, it offers autofocus. That's an extremely rare feature nowadays.

Battery
The Xiaomi 12 Lite is an affordable smartphone that combines a gorgeous iridescent design with a smooth display and equally slick 67W fast charging.

Software
The 12 Lite is also one of the first Xiaomi phones to offer Android 12 under the company's MIUI 13 interface.

Other
The Xiaomi 12 Lite is yet another excellent mid-ranger from a company putting out a lot of phones.

It's nice to see the company able to fit the upgrade around the €400 mark.

Phone Appearance
There’s no IP rating to protect the phone from dust or water.

Battery
While you can get the phone's rear camera mix for less and its battery life could be better.

Software
Images are over-sharpened and the phone misses out on some key features available on the Xiaomi 12.
[trustedreviews]
Even most flagship devices omit it. We find it cool yet puzzling since even the Xiaomi 12 and 12 Pro have the same 32MP shooters but with fixed focus.

Audio
As with many phones these days there’s no 3.5mm jack in sight.
