But for the new 12T Pro, Xiaomi has decided 12, 48, or even 108 megapixels isn’t the headline number it wants — and has therefore used Samsung’s ISOCELL HP1 200-megapixel camera instead. Taking photos with a 200MP camera Samsung announced the ISOCELL HP1 sensor in 2021, and the Xiaomi 12T Pro is the first phone to use it. There’s also plenty of speculation it…

Introduction We will be the first to admit that the ever-expanding Xiaomi phone family has been hard to keep track of. We have it easy with the just announced Xiaomi 12T and the 12T Pro, as it's easy to see how they come to replace the Xiaomi 11T and Xiaomi 11T Pro.

The Xiaomi 12T and 12T Pro are still running Android 12 (with MIUI 13) given that other phones (including ones from Xiaomi itself) are already looking forward to Android 13. However, there is some good news – the phones will receive software support for 4 years after launch. This includes three major OS updates, i.e. they will get Android 15 as their final OS version (who know what version MIUI will be at that point).
