When combined with Eye tracking focus and enabled Motion capture, the camera setup opens up a whole new realm of possibilities for impromptu stylish cover shots.
The 32MP front camera features a GD2 sensor and autofocus capabilities, enabling high-quality selfies with refined clarity. Powered by Xiaomi’s self-developed algorithm that leverages depth estimation and portrait matting to simulate a true-to-life bokeh effect, the Selfie portrait mode with auto HDR manages to deliver flattering fashion selfie results. Complemented by Xiaomi Selfie Glow—two soft LEDs, the front camera captures your natural beauty in exceptional detail in all scenarios.
Xiaomi 12 Lite breaks ground with flagship-level 5G performance powered by the Snapdragon 778G chipset, while its multi-tier cooling system ensures efficient heat dissipation and overall smooth experience.

Yupp. Good luck with the cashback
Why was the other thread deleted?
I've just flagged it up with a moderator and been advised:
"The deal was removed due to self promotion."
Doesn't make any sense and when asked to double check I was told:
"We can't share specifics of moderation for other members so we couldn't discuss/comment further."

This or the one plus nord ce2 offer? Ah so much choice!! Thank you in advance (edited)
Nice work from you and giffgaff

Another SEXY phone from xiaomi 5G AMOLED 120 Hz... which will make £800 used phone buyers.... with one word...

Sorry not sorryI got Poco F3 last year £164 on deal here, it is a rocketship
I suspect this gets raised a lot when these Chinese phones get hot on here, but I’m assuming buyers realise their personal data is being feed back to China:
forbes.com/sit…se/
I realise a response would be ‘well Google and Apple’ do the same. Whilst that may be true (but seemingly in a more policed manner according to their publicised data privacy policies), you have to consider which organisation/country is more likely to use your data nefariously in the worst case scenario. For example Apple and Google are likely to use it for economic reasons come rain or shine. Should the Ukraine war ever involve China and things got ugly….good luck to those with Chinese phones. (edited)
If I lived in China (or the Ukraine I guess?) I would indeed be more worried about Chinese actors having my data. As it is now, Meta and Google are probably much worse in how they can affect me as I am part of the western world. Apple is less data driven so far compared to those two (probably because they enjoy crazy margins with their devices, app store etc) - and I say that while I use an Android phone
That said, I personally have accepted that I am tracked in multiple ways as a cost of using phones/internet/etc...
[deleted]I've got WiFi calling working with my o2 contract SIM (edited)
Isn't the Poco f3 at 240 a better deal though?
That old brick?! Noo
Why is this better than the redmi 12 on the other deal? Apart from the 5G (which is not useful for some) and having 6GB ram instead of 4GB.
You've answered your own question...
I have this phone and honestly it's brilliant. The only thing I hate is when it's cold out the screen response is sometimes questionable.
For the camera here's a photo of my dog, it's portrait mode on the camera.
Battery life is alright for a budget phone, mine lasts 6-8 hours heavy use but will recharge within 20/30mins. If your using maps + streaming it's about 5/6 hours without charge.
I have zero lag playing games on the device.
For this price too it's a bargain, I paid +£20 about 4 months ago.
It doesn't have auto horizon correction then?- Any idea where the O2 £199 deal thread for the same device has gone? It's vanished!No idea why that's vanished - last I saw on it people were buying them in o2 stores for £199 + £10 sim card. I did the same, bought it yesterday and using it now!
- 108MP phone camera LoL
4.5x my DSLR
Yes, but I bet the lense is no where near comparable. 
No micro SD support and only 128GB storage is quite limiting imo especially as you won't actually have 128GB available to you it will probably be more like 115GB
It's closer to 105gb.
Most people store using cloud services now meaning thy do not require large storage and the space they do have will be for some games.
It is poor why they keep doing this not offering hybrid support for msd when a lot of the cheaper models have it.
I thought ooh, not a bad price for a new 5G phone for myself (still on 4G phone), but it turns out it's worse than my X3 Pro from 2 years ago! A miss from me on this
Not wise to compare a Pro phone to a Lite phone I suppose, even some years on. My Huawei P30 Pro 4G from 4 years ago is better than this in most respects, especially in the key areas.
It was still here at around 6am when I surfaced.Now has disappeared,strange :/
🔥 good price
Is this actually 6gb ram? The mi site says 8gb?AuthorI know, but I am going by what giffgaff has listed at
I'm still using a Xiaomi Mi A1 I got in July of 2018, after 3 months it stopped connection to any computer regardless of computer or cable used so having to transfer files remotely. The screen illumination has faded, half way on the brightness bar was blinding even outside but now I have to use maximum when outside or the screens too dim. Battery used to last 24hours between charges with occasional use, would say it's half that now.
I do have a blackview BV9900 Pro i have yet to transfer to but not got round to it, fun using the thermal camera on it.
I've got a Mi9T Pro for over 4years and never had those issues (edited)
Got mine yesterday and it has 8gb of ram in it thanks OP
It doesn't weigh much then ?173g. Phone's don't come much lighter now days.- I haven't noticed on reviews only having 128gb memory and no sd card support that's only been the issues but apart from that all positiveYou also didn't mention 6gb ram, it should have preferrably 8gb. (edited)
Good phone, and excellent reviews!
I'm between this and a refurbed pixel 6a, might try this for the 3 weeks return
I'd go for this personally- I went to the xiaomi store in the city centre (town for you brummies) impressed with this phone
The picture quality on this must be insanely good? It has 3 lenses!! Imagine if my bank account balance have 3 extra 0s, I would be awesome!- Anyone know where I can purchase the blue one from?Try AliExpress
- Do giff gaff put any network bloatware on these ?
I'd be more bothered about the Chinese OS skin than any additional bloatware! 
I am in the market for something new. I bought the Poco X4 last November after having the X3 and I don't like it at all. Build quality is great and it's a visually pleasing phone but it's laggy and the camera isn't great. I've been using my X3 this week while on hols as a main camera and a WiFi hotspot and it's miles above the X4. Anyway, if this had a bigger screen id have gone for it
I had the note 10 and loved it but their is no proximity sensor so it's useless as a phone. Great screen and camera, but it failed at the main point of a mobile phone. Does anyone know if this has a sensor?
"Xiaomi 12 Lite uses an AI Virtual Proximity Sensor from Elliptic Labs, the same that many (unfortunately) criticize."
So another phone to avoid! They are useless and don't work at all.
This or the redmi note 12 pro? Seen the 12 pro on eBay for £275 with a codeGo for the Redmi Note 12 Pro, as it will have more updates over 2 years. Camera is also decent for the price- Oos
This or the pixel 6a?I'd go for this.- why is is hot its £199 @ 02This was posted before that deal
Just out of curiosity, Would you guys take this or an iPhone 12?This all day long. I have an iPhone 13 and I'm moving everything off today over to this phone. Apple phones are nice in terms of hardware but I'm sick of iOS. Wish I bought an android originally instead of switching to Apple for the past year.
Anyone know how to get in-band ringtones working on this ?
This is to allow the phones ringtone to be played via the car..
Thanks- Something funny is going on, with the name change and posts being deleted.Sorry, I don't follow. What name change and what sort of posts being deleted?
- Sorry that reply should have been to and is related to the comments about the 12 Lite and WiFi calling.Cool. Mind still boggles!
