What reviewers say

Reviewers like the slim body, bright display, responsive performance and quick charging, while finding MIUI awkward and the single speaker limited. Camera opinions differ; Trusted Reviews rates the main camera above the 12 Lite’s, whereas Tech Advisor finds its processing less reliable and the photos a step backwards.
