Xiaomi 12X: 120 Hz AMOLED, Snapdragon 870 and up to 50 MPx camera
The compact Xiaomi 12X smartphone has the same dimensions as the base Xiaomi 12 model, namely 152.7 x 69.9 x 8.2 mm. The device weighs 176 grams. On board, it offers a 6.28″ AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolution and a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz.
The display also offers up to 68 billion colors, brightness of up to 1100 nits, a DCI-P3 color gamut, 5000000:1 contrast, and supports HDR10+ technology, as well as Dolby Vision and TrueColor.
