Strengths

The audio quality is not mentioned as being anything special, aside from it being loud and clear when using the dual stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos.
The rear panel is made of plastic and has a Kevlar texture that may be prone to fingerprint smudges.
The phone's performance would have been better if there were less third-party applications or if users were given the option to uninstall them all.

Xiaomi 12X

The Xiaomi 12X is the most affordable phone in the company's new flagship series, yet it shares many features with its more expensive siblings, including the Xiaomi 12. Despite being the cheapest option, the 12X has an identical design to the 12, featuring a similar matte finish and camera island layout. Weighing just 176 grams, the 12X is one of the most compact smartphones on the market, making it easy to use with one hand. The phone's 6.2-inch AMOLED display boasts a full HD resolution, up to 120Hz refresh rate, and 480Hz touch sampling rate, delivering excellent media consumption experiences. The camera system, although lacking a telephoto lens, is impressive, producing well-balanced photos with accurate colors and dynamic range. The main camera captures detailed shots in bright conditions, while the ultrawide lens produces pleasing images with minimal distortion correction. Portrait mode shots are particularly outstanding, with subjects rendered in great detail. In low-light situations, auto night mode performs admirably, taking sharp, detailed, and noise-free photos. The selfie camera is also capable, capturing well-exposed and detailed images with good dynamic range and accurate colors. The 12X's performance is bolstered by its flagship-grade chipset, which is less prone to throttling than the one in the Xiaomi 12. While it may not be perfect, with no water resistance and an underwhelming telephoto lens, the phone's many strengths make it a compelling option for those seeking a high-quality smartphone at an affordable price. Overall, the Xiaomi 12X has all the ingredients necessary to become a popular smartphone, offering a great display, comfortable design, good camera performance, and respectable battery life. While it may face competition from other phones like the Realme GT2 Pro, its strengths make it a phone worth considering.
