Xiaomi includes a clear jelly case with the packaging though for those who may want to use a case. While the front screen is protected by Gorilla Glass 5, the back glass panel is just normal glass without any specific reinforcement. The colorway also stretches over the chassis too so you get a uniform color scheme. I'm a fan of the light blue, almost green, finish on my unit. Like most recent Xiaomi phones, the speaker grilles are also located at the top and bottom of the phone for a more symmetrical sound output compared to many phones.įlip the phone around and you get a matte glass finish that comes in three colors. Both of these (the scanner and selfie cameras) work fine. There's an optical in-display scanner under the display, along with a hole-punch housing a 32MP selfie camera. Symmetrical bezels are usually reserved for flagship phones, but Xiaomi is giving you flagship-like flourishes at mid-range prices Xiaomi did not have input in this review.

This review was written after three weeks of using the device on and off, including a week as my main phone. 8GB LPDDR4X RAM + 128GB UFS 2.2 storageĪbout this review: Xiaomi sent me a Xiaomi 12 Lite for testing.
