The UnboxingTN Verdict
out of 100
The Xiaomi 12S combines strong performance, a capable 120Hz display and broad connectivity, but its modest battery and aging software limit its appeal.

- 6.28-inch AMOLED display supports 120Hz, Dolby Vision and HDR10+.
- 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, NFC and dual-SIM connectivity are well covered.
What is not
- The 4500 mAh battery is modest for this category.
- Android 12 with MIUI 13 feels dated.
- IP53 protection is limited against dust and water.
