show me the money xiaomi 12 Monies
xiaomi is here with the xiaomi 12 Pro
their 12th Pro phone I don't think that's right but we're gonna go with it
I'd love to take a look at this phone except that it's in a locked box with a
combination on it what's your freaking problem jono what are you doing this to
me everything what is this what am I supposed to do answer answer my riddle
I did not sign up for this a few moments
later hey wow that was almost too easy the
xiaomi 12 PRO Sound by Harmon and carton
they got both of them this time and 5G
connectivity because it's got the Snapdragon 8 gen 1 which I think comes
comes with 5G by default most of the time unless they disable it this is the
pro I think I was expecting it to be more of like a budget Flagship option
this phone is aiming squarely at the s22
ultra and the pixel 6 Pro I'll take the thing off first oh you know what this
happens to me every time on ShortCircuit I don't care about the actual
finish on a phone but then I take off the wrapping paper and I look at the
back and I'm like that looks pretty nice sometimes I can understand why people
would want to not put a case on their phone even though not putting a case on
your phone is objectively stupid they did the science the science is in I'm
sorry the xiaomi logo like leaves a little Shadow you can see it now you
can't see it you're lying the point is that's kind of cool
what else comes in the Box they give you a case with it is that normal or is that
for us
that's rude very few people got some papers that
probably say careful don't take a bath with it ip68 water resistance so that
means you can take it for a bath but none of these companies are going to tell you to take it for a bath but I am
just kidding don't do it should I put
the case on no gross looks cheap you
want you want other people to know that you have an expensive phone
wow I'm also angry about this this is
the 120 Watt uh charging brick this thing's huge and
also in the box we have a USB a to c so
on the back we already had like a little bit of a look at it the cool like design
on the on the camera module you ever seen lines like that Brandon
so on this side we got the power button and the volume rocker on the top we got
Mike some holes the speaker things this thing apparently has a quad speaker
setup we'll test that out I mean like there's definitely one on either side
over here absolutely nothing on the bottom a dual
SIM card tray as far as I'm aware but no micro SD card USB type c for charging
and the other speaker Grille let's turn this sucker on after this visit from our
sponsor vessi vessi Footwear is known for being lightweight easy to pack
comfortable and most importantly waterproof with its dymatex technology
and even more importantly on my foot their everyday move lineup is
made to keep up with your active lifestyle with its added support at the
midsole and better breathability it also has a pull tab to take them off and put
them on with ease and it's made creature free so you can take each step in them
guilt-free trust me you'll want to wear these puppies everywhere
keep your feet dry and save 25 bucks with offer code ShortCircuit at
vesi.com ShortCircuit the display we're
looking at six point
seven three inches 20 by nine aspect ratio and it's
120 hertz refresh rate like most of the
big old flagships we're dealing with nowadays in terms of iPhones and
Androids and like those other ones it has it's supposed to have like an
Adaptive sync thing where it like will adjust the refresh rate depending on
what you're doing lpto AMOLED 3200 by
1400 pixels now you have all the information we gotta hunt a thousand
nits sustained I believe and 1500 Peak brightness which is actually the same as
the fancy old mini LED iPad Pro that
came out last year that everyone was making such a big deal about about the brightness and the contrast and the
dynamic range and whatnot but that's pretty impressive to see like basically the same capability in a handheld
smartphone 480 Hertz touch sampling I
don't know what the touch sampling is for the main phones because I haven't paid attention
but that's more than 120 hertz I think wait what battery are we at 38 I want to
plug it in while I keep talking and then we can like time it now look at this 38
point that you can see the percentage going up that's pretty cool I feel like
all the way smartphones should have that so xiaomi claims that their fast
charging technology can get the phone to 100 in 18 minutes but they also have an
ability to enable a constant temperature mode which I guess will make it like a
little bit less hot and even using that it'll get a hundred percent in 24
minutes then they also have like 50 watt wireless charging which I think we're
saying is faster than the Galaxy s22 wired charging these are all on paper
claims you know so this is ShortCircuit the phone apparently also has reverse
wireless charging at 10 watts ah the UI
here I I don't remember
ever using a xiaomi
uh the like they're they're I think they call it MIUI which is their flavor of
Android it's Android 12 here apparently I haven't looked at the system but
that's what it's supposed to ship with and they have their app drawer that's
split into different uh categories so that's pretty cool I like the sort of uh
transparency that kind of looks like Samsung's deal will it charge my pixel 3
it is and actually this is funny now because pixel 3
I Believe by default it only charges wirelessly at 5 watts and you needed to
buy like the 10 watt pixel stand if you bought the pixel stand it would charge a
10 watts new tag collected oh no it
thinks it's like an NFC thing they're already at 66 and I started at 38. and
the phone is getting a little warm my only criticism is make this a regular
plug and then I'll buy this phone is this available in North America
all right time to take a look at these fancy fancy cameras that they make is
such a big deal about 50 megapixels each the s22 ultra has a 108 megapixel main
camera but the pixel 6 has a 50 megapixel camera just one of them but I
I think this is the only phone that I've seen correct me if I'm wrong in the
comments with three 50 megapixel sensors this better be good Brandon what should
I take a picture of I'll take a picture of you pretty good I feel like I see a
little bit more softness in some areas than I would like to but otherwise
things are looking pretty sharp viewing the camera performance of a phone at
this point is almost more like you're talking more about the software than
you're talking about the actual Hardware the selfie camera is not 50 megapixels
it is 32 megapixels there's a vlog mode
wait 50 megapixel now we're in 50 megapixel mode is this
like using all three sensors I don't know but let's see if that's any
sharper oh yeah so that first photo I took was not
50 megapixels because I can't yeah I can't zoom in as far I'm guessing it's
not as a I can zoom in farther in the 50
megapixel mode photo I took than I can in the other one
so I'm guessing that in order to make full use of the 50 megapixel shooter you
have to enable 50 megapixel mode which is kind of weird I don't love that but
like I guess they're trying to save storage but the the configurations on
this phone especially the pro one it comes with 256 gig storage options so I
don't think you're really worried about space that much with that
uh Pro oh okay so they have like a pro
mode where you can like uh
manipulate each of these settings manually so that's cool oh they have a
manual focus even selfie time so I'm not
seeing like an extra wide uh option here
but this already looks like plenty wide oh I can't take a selfie and not make a
noise ai ai camera
I don't know what the AI camera does but it's plenty wide though look at how wide
that is wow we got the whole building in this
photo basically how's the stabilization
stay on you for a second pretty freaking stable
Brandon
this shot could be on a tripod I'm shaking the camera right now that could
be on a tripod too I was that was a joke I don't know what resolution that
footage was at but apparently you can shoot 8K 24 FPS video with the main
shooter on the back they're all 50 megapixels but only the main one can
shoot 8K 24 uh and 4K 30fps and 60fps but I guess if
you're going to be switching between cameras and stuff you don't have the
option of doing 8K so you can just click up here and then you have the option of
switching between that's pretty cool actually I like this little Quick Settings thing a lot of the time you
have to go into a full settings menu but I like that you can still see the
viewfinder while just like switching between 4K 8K yeah AKA 24fps 4K 30 or
60. but what happens if I switch it to the ultra wide can I shoot oh I can
still no if you click AKA it defaults to the regular wide camera
but on 4K you can switch between the different lenses oh I should be able to
film AKA however I want okay now I'm in 4k mode zooming in on jono tell me all
your thoughts what are you thinking in your brain all right show me these quad
speakers whatever that means
this gives me such joy every time we do this
the screen looks uh you know
it looks pretty bright I believe them I believe them with their nits claims
definitely loud like we're shouting over it right now as
far as I can tell like maybe they have like two speakers in behind each of the
grills or something the phone does like seem a little bit thicker than some of
the other Flagship phones we're seeing these days so maybe they had room to
stick to speakers per Grill one thing I
also didn't say earlier about the display was that it there's like a
little bit of an edge going on which uh most other manufacturers have kind of
stopped doing many of them have anyways the speakers were I mean about as good
as I'd ever heard in a smartphone maybe the iPhone might be a little bit better
because we were yelling over it the one
big question the the most important question in my mind the price and this
one is uh 1100 Euros I think for the 128
gig model and one and 1200 for the
256 gig model we don't have official pricing info from xiaomi right now but
that appears to be what it is there is a xiaomi 12 and a 12x that we didn't get
and I think those are that one starts at 650 Euros so there are some if you are
like oh I definitely want to xiaomi there are some options as well but uh at
1100 Euros probably look elsewhere if you're looking for one with like a much
better price to Performance ratio but I am impressed especially with the
charging well that was a ShortCircuit or as I call them long circuits because
