Since the official launch of the Xiaomi 12X, there has been a price cut for the basic model. However, the top version is now getting its first-ever price reduction since its launch. According to the Xiaomi JD.com flagship store, the top version of Xiaomi 12X 12GB + 256GB now sells for 3299 yuan ($518). This is 300 yuan ($47) cheaper than the original price.
This device is the cheapest version of the Xiaomi 12 series. Like the Xiaomi 12, the Xiaomi 12X is also a small-screen flagship. The screen size of both smartphones is 6.28 inches, and the body width is only 69.9mm. Thus, the Xiaomi 12X can be operated with one hand stress-free. Furthermore, the weight of this device is only 176g and it feels excellent.
The device comes with the reputable Snapdragon 870 flagship processor (the Xiaomi 12 uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 flagship processor). The battery capacity is 4500 mAh and it supports 67W wired fast charging. The Xiaomi 12X does not support wireless charging. PS: Xiaomi 12 not only supports 67W wired but also 50W wireless.
