In this comparison evaluation of Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro and Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro，We only focus on some of the parts that consumers are more concerned about as users，such as appearance、performance、image、battery life etc.，The next step is to enter the formal test，Interested friends may wish to take a look。

Exterior：Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro feels light and thin，Design bonus

If you win or lose by appearance，This generation of Xiaomi Mi 12 series can really play a lot more than Xiaomi Mi 11 series，I don't think there's even a need for a comparison。 As the flagship of the beginning of the year，The appearance and style of the Xiaomi Mi 12 series have changed greatly，The Mi 12 Pro is not a small flagship like the standard version，But the first feeling after getting started is still very pleasant。

Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro adopts center punch + dual micro-surface design，The Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro uses the upper left punch hole + double micro-surface，Both have narrow borders，不過小米11 Pro螢幕R角位置一直有個”小耳朵”露出來，至少在筆者看來是非常”礙眼”的。 Even after the phone is in a case，There's always a black edge sticking out here，quite unsightly，It doesn't look like a high end。

in comparison，Although Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro has not completely abandoned this "small ear" design，But it has also been narrowed to a certain extent，If you don't look closely, the border even has a feeling of equal width.，The frontal vision is much more harmonious than the Mi 11 Pro。

in terms of feel，Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is not a feather，But 3-4g lighter than Mi 11 Pro，slightly thinner，The grip has been significantly improved。

in addition，Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro has more plain leather version，Compared with the full glass version of Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro, there are more choices。 The Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro in our hands has a good texture，Detail craftsmanship is also acceptable，Not too big flaws，Friends who like plain leather mobile phones can enter Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro without thinking。And on the glass version，Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro has finally abandoned the glossy design，Instead, the glass back case is matte，Soft and delicate touch，Not easy to stick fingerprints。

rear lens design，Personally, I think the Mi 12 Pro is better than the Mi 11 Pro by a lot，Although the lens module of Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro is very recognizable，But more for design's sake，Not to mention how beautiful。

Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro returns to the list of common matrix module designs，And the area between the lens and the lens is also divided by the dividing line，Looks neater and more organized，With a certain sense of design。

In terms of design and overall feel，Mi 12 Pro has a lighter body、More delicate touch and more high-quality industrial design，Almost completely beats the Mi 11 Pro，It can be seen that the Xiaomi Mi 12 series has made great progress in design.。

performance：Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro scores higher，Game frame rate is higher

Not much to say about the performance part，In this regard, the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is definitely far superior to the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro，After all, compared to the Snapdragon 888，The improvement of the new Snapdragon 8 is still obvious，Especially the GPU part，Almost a qualitative upgrade。

Here, let's first take a look at the AnTuTu scores of the two：

can be seen，Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro AnTuTu scores 943346 points，Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro scored 7,142.06 million in AnTuTu benchmark。specific to each item，The difference between the two in the CPU part is nearly 30,000 points，The GPU part of the gap is even more obvious，Mi 12 Pro is about 150,000 points more than Mi 11 Pro。

With such powerful GPU performance，In theory, the game performance of Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is also stronger than that of Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro。 However, the actual situation may be more complicated，Also consider the heat dissipation of the phone、system scheduling, etc.，The real game performance needs to be tested to know。so，We go straight to the game testing session，Through "King of Glory"、The three games of "Peace Elite" and "Yuan Shen" are verified。

The first is "Glory of the King"，in 120fps mode，The average frame rate of the 15-minute game on Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro reached 106.4fps，The average frame rate of Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro reached 98.8fps。From the frame rate，When the body temperature rises，Both adopted similar strategies，Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro can run at 120fps in the early stage，Dropped to 90fps in post，Then it will keep switching between 90 and 120。

Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro can only run to 110fps in the early stage，It drops to 100fps as the temperature rises，Then continue down to 90fps。In "Honor of Kings"，There is still some difference in the frame rate performance of the two，But overall stable，The perception is not obvious during the actual game。

Next is "Peace Elite"，Under 90fps+ smooth picture quality，The average frame rate of the 15-minute game on Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro reached 59.3fps，The average frame rate of Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro reached 59.2fps。Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro fluctuated violently in the second half，Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro drops frames from time to time，But overall it is more stable than Mi 11 Pro。

The final highlight is left to "Yuan Shen"，From the actual game experience，The gap between the two is still huge。At 60fps+ extreme picture quality，Run from Mond City to Liyue Harbor，The average frame rate of Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro games reached 48.8fps，The average frame rate of Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro games is only 27.2fps。

It is expected that "Yuan Shen" has a large test of mobile phone performance，But the gaming performance of both phones is unsatisfactory，Although the frame rate of Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro is more stable，but less than 30 frames，It's really not smooth to play。Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro freezes a lot，It can be seen that even if it is as strong as Snapdragon 8，There is still a lot of pressure to play "Yuan Shen" in full picture quality。

same as appearance，There's basically no suspense in terms of performance，Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro still surpasses Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro，If you are a performance party，Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is definitely the first choice。but，From actual experience，Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro performance is not weak，More than enough for daily use or gaming，If you are not looking for extreme performance，There is no problem with choosing Mi 11 Pro。

image：The photo experience is on par，Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro telephoto is stronger

後置影像是這一代小米12 Pro存在較大”爭議”的部分，Just from the hardware parameters，Mi 12 Pro finally no longer stabilizes Mi 11 Pro。

Both use a rear three-camera solution，Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro adopts the basic configuration of wide-angle main camera + portrait main camera + ultra-wide-angle main camera，Both are 50 million pixels，The wide-angle main camera uses a Sony IMX707 wide-angle lens，This sensor is also one of Sony's top sensors.，Has a 1.28-inch oversized sole。 The portrait lens supports 2x optical zoom and 20x digital zoom。

But Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro is not bad，The main camera of Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro is 50 million pixels，The sensor model is Samsung GN2，Has a 1/1.12" oversized sole;The ultra-wide-angle lens is 13 million pixels，123° super wide viewing angle，The telephoto lens is 8 million pixels，And supports 5x optical zoom and up to 50x digital zoom。

From the specifications，Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro still needs to be more balanced，All three lenses have reached the main camera level，However, compared with the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro, the telephoto does not rise but falls.，From 5x light change to 2x light change，To put it simply, it's from a long shot to a portrait.，It's a personal choice。

in a well-lit environment，The main camera of the two phones is still very different。in color rendering，Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro screen is more vivid，Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro screen brightness is higher，But in the details，Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro has higher resolution，Architectural details are clearer，The edges of the buildings captured by the Mi 11 Pro begin to appear blurry，Imaging is not very stable。From the point of view，Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro's rendering of color saturation and dynamic range，Better than Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro，The look and feel of the photos is also better than the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro。

The second night scene sample comparison，The screen brightness of the two phones is very close，but in the details，The Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro is actually a bit clearer than the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro，And the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro has obvious overexposure in the highlight。In fact，This generation of Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro focuses on improving the imaging speed in night scenes，This means less time for the phone to process night scenes，It may also be an important reason for the general night scene performance of Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro。

In terms of ultra wide angle，Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro whether it is day or night，The overall look and feel is better than the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro，First in the daytime，The color of the ultra-wide-angle proofs of Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro will still be stronger，The contrast of the picture is stronger，The atmosphere is better than Xiaomi 11 Pro。In night scene imaging，Xiaomi Mi 12Pro screen is brighter、Highlight suppression in place，Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro is a bit overexposed，Especially the light box in the distance，Can't see the details。

Telephoto proof part，at 5X zoom，Mi 11 Pro is indeed better，The picture is clearer，The details are displayed very well。by contrast，Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro has a more smearing feeling in the eyes，The later traces are too heavy，It can be seen that the 5x optical zoom has a significant improvement in the telephoto capability of the mobile phone.，Hard to make up for with high primitives。

Overall，Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro and Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro have each other's winners and losers in photo comparison。 Among them, Xiaomi 11 Pro has a significant advantage in telephoto，The Mi 12 Pro is stronger in the ultra-wide angle。

As for the main camera，Mi 11 Pro's night scene is brighter，Mi 12 Pro has better details。 However, since both are，Satisfaction with light intensity comparison，Therefore, the preservation of dark details is relatively good.。in addition，The overall color optimization of Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is more intense，The focusing experience is also better than the Mi 11 Pro。

battery life：Mi 12 Pro charges faster，longer battery life

Lastly, keep going，Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro supports 120W single-cell fast charging and 50W wireless super fast charging，Battery capacity 4600mAh。 Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro has a built-in 5000mAh large battery，And supports 67W wired fast charging and 67W wireless fast charging。 obviously，From the basic parameters，Mi 12 Pro and Mi 11 Pro have mutual advantages，So what about actual performance?

In order to better demonstrate the endurance strength of the two，The author tested the two mobile phones for 5 hours of battery life respectively.：

(Unified environment，In the measured standard mode, the two mobile phones start to use from 100% power，Current room temperature 25°C，from 50% brightness，50%Volume，Connect to the same WiFi，Turn off Bluetooth positioning)

After 45 minutes of video playback at station B、50Minute Douyin short video playback、45minute weibo、30Minute 1080P camera recording、50WeChat chat in minutes、20Minute Taobao、60After a total of 5 hours of power consumption in "Honor of Kings"，Mi 12 Pro's battery finally remains at 46%;Mi 11 Pro's battery finally remains at 39%。

From the results，Although the Mi 12 Pro has a smaller battery capacity，But the actual battery life is stronger than Xiaomi 11 Pro。 Why is there such a result，The reasons are also multi-faceted。Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is equipped with Snapdragon 8，Using E5 luminescent material，And support LTOP technology，The actual power consumption is lower than that with the Snapdragon 888、Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro with E4 luminous material is lower，This will have a certain explanation for the extended battery life。

Charging，There's basically no suspense about this part.，The 120W fast charge on the Mi 12 Pro can fully charge the entire phone in about 20 minutes，Can charge 230mAh per minute。Mi 11 Pro in the 30-minute charge test，Only 67% in the first 20 minutes，30A total of 88% charged in minutes，It can actually charge 147mAh per minute，In terms of charging efficiency，The Mi 12 Pro is indeed much faster。

By comparing the above，It is not difficult to find that the performance of Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is、Exterior、image、battery life、Compared with Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro, there are some improvements in several aspects such as charging，Improve daily experience。have to be aware of is，The Mi 12 Pro's lead over the Mi 11 Pro is not all-encompassing，such as wireless fast charging、Battery capacity、Compared with the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro, the telephoto lens and IP68 are actually a step backward.。

The current price of Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro starts at 4699CNY，Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro minimum 3649CNY，There is a difference of about 1000CNY，If you think that the experience improvement brought by Xiaomi 12 Pro is more than 1000 yuan，Or simply not bad for the money，Hope to pursue the ultimate experience，There is no doubt that it is recommended to start with Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro。certainly，If you just want to buy a comprehensive configuration、not outdated，And the cheapest flagship phone possible，3000Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro with more CNY is obviously more cost-effective，Also worth choosing。
