Xiaomi is one of the three major players in the smartphone market, and when 2022 is in financial trouble it has also seen some very good results from the company. He also saw that he invested a lot of money in his EV business, hoping that it will pay off in the future.
In the world of smartphones, there are more than a dozen Redmi Note 11 phones, some very competitive Poco phones and some exciting beasts Xiaomi 12. Here is a list of the highs and lows of Xiaomi from last year when we saw it – the 13th series was not included because it was too new to be judged.
Winner: Xiaomi 12S Ultra
This smartphone stole our hearts when it came for review. The main camera is a 1”-type 50MP sensor along with two other shooters that are among the best in their fields. The camera phone is decent, although some of the rear shooters don’t quite live up to the high standard set by the primary camera.
The 12S Ultra also has a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, a decent 1440p screen, and an IP68 rating, although nothing new is a big deal for Xiaomi. It’s a beautiful package no matter how you look at it.
Missing: Xiaomi 12S Ultra
But if you’re looking to buy it you can’t. Xiaomi limited the 12S Ultra to China, meaning global markets haven’t seen the Ultra phone in eighteen months.

We are very disappointed that this phone will not escape the domestic market, and the reasons that prevented Xiaomi from releasing it to the world, are expensive.
Winner: Xiaomi 12T Pro
In a year without Ultra phones, the next best thing from Xiaomi is the Pro models. Although the Xiaomi 12 Pro is the company’s global flagship, we fell in love with the more expensive Xiaomi 12T Pro, announced in the second half of 2022. It has a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip and a 200MP camera – features that other Xiaomi devices do not have. place in the world.
What we loved about the 12T Pro is the amazing display, solid battery with 120W fast charging and great audio output. It’s also a limited edition by Daniel Arsham, which makes the phone feel like art. It is clearly one of the successful products for Xiaomi.
Missing: 18-strong Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 series
The Redmi Note family is the best seller in Xiaomi’s portfolio. It’s a mid-ranger and places it in many price points due to its wide range of options. However, Xiaomi seems to have gone too far this time and ended up confusing journalists and fans alike.
Big markets like India and China have similar phone names but different brands. Some of them have 5G, some don’t. It takes a lot of research to find out which of the phones are available for you and how they are positioned. It’s more if you want to make sure you’re getting the best value for your money, which is the key for middlemen.
At the end of the day, the company saw 60 million Redmi Note units shipped worldwide, reaching the impressive 300 million mark, which is not a disaster, but also admitted that its future list.
Winner: Poco F4 GT
The Poco F4 GT is a great smartphone that ticks all the right boxes for a large group of smartphone gamers. It has pop-ups, RGB lights on the back that really work instead of being there for aesthetics, and a 120Hz display worthy of a respectable gaming device.
It’s also a streamlined software with a very aggressive price tag, which has made it an option for many people.
Not: Xiaomi Mix Fold 2
The second generation of Xiaomi fold, Mix Fold 2, followed the steps of the first. Of course it didn’t make it to international markets. To make matters worse, the phone isn’t really optimized for a second-generation product.
Xiaomi Mix Fold 2
We had the Mix Fold 2 for review, and we like how thin it is. However, because the custom MIUI provides limited multitasking capabilities, many of the internal screen tools are removed.
So the graphics part is hot, the performance of the camera is poor and the price is very high compared to other accessories. We’re hoping third time lucky and the Mix Fold 3 looks more like a premium device and less like a stock model.
