The camera system includes three 50-megapixel sensors. The main camera sensor is a 1/1.28” Sony IMX707, while the other cameras are a 115-degree ultra-wide and a 2x telephoto. The selfie camera is 32 megapixels. Xiaomi claims that the main camera has a 120 percent improvement in light-gathering ability over the Mi 11, which was decent, but used a 108-megapixel sensor that was a bit outdated even when the phone was released. The Xiaomi 12 Pro is the first phone to use this new IMX707 sensor.
While the Xiaomi 12 Pro will not be released in the US and specific prices will vary depending on local currency, Xiaomi says the price will start at $999.
