Fortunately, a smartphone isn’t just a pretty face, and the Xiaomi 12 Lite manages to check almost all the right boxes. Well, almost. The 6.55-inch 2400×1080 AMOLED screen, for example, is bright and vibrant, and it’s easily usable outdoor, even under the sun. The bezels around it are quite narrow, save for the typical chin at the bottom, leaving plenty of room to enjoy content in HRD10+ and Dolby Vision format. It’s protected by Gorilla Glass 5, a step down from the more common version 6, but that won’t matter much in day-to-day use.
That screen is capable of reaching a refresh rate of 120Hz, but it isn’t as flexible as others with variable refresh rates. You’re only free to pick between 60Hz and 120Hz, with no middle ground. If set to 120Hz, the operating system will still pick which apps use which refresh rate, throttling the screen down if necessary. There’s no whitelist or blacklist of such apps, so it’ll be on a case-to-case basis. Unless you’re hurting for battery life, your best bet would be to leave the setting at 120Hz.
Mid-range phones aren’t exactly known for being excellent music players, yet that’s changing slowly but surely. The Xiaomi 12 Lite is definitely a cut above the rest, even among mid-range phones with stereo speakers. The sound that comes out of both ends is decent and clear, at least for mids and highs. There is almost no bass, so you’ll be missing out on the thumps and heavy beats in EDM and similar genres. All-in-all, it does a sufficient job if you need to listen to music or videos quickly, but most of the time, you’ll probably reach for your wireless earphones instead.
