Xiaomi has unveiled the latest model to join its 12-series phones. Curiously, this announcement comes after the 12S launch, in which many of the 12-series models were superseded (at least in China).
Still, the Xiaomi 12 Lite brings with it the usual traits of the 'Lite' model
This primarily means we're getting a slim and light phone, packed with some high-end tech in a device which costs considerably less than its flagship models.
The design is a key focus for this phone and - just like the 11 Lite - it features a really slim body: just 7.29mm thin, and it weighs 173g.
That means, roughly the same weight as an iPhone 13, in a body that's a few millimetres thinner than Apple's popular device.
On the front, there's a 6.55-inch AMOLED display that's certified for both HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, features up to 120Hz refresh rates and 240Hz touch sampling.
This impressive-sounding panel is joined by a pair of stereo speakers, equipped with Dolby Atmos spatial audio support.
Inside you get the Snapdragon 778G platform, which enables 5G support as well as near-flagship performance and is joined by a 4300mAh battery.
