Possibly you are looking for a high-end phone and if you want some of the most premium that have been able to hit the market this year, there are two phones that are possibly between eyebrows. The Xiaomi 12T Pro and the Samsung Galaxy S22, two of the best smartphones that have come out this year and that have not left anyone indifferent. Today we put them to the test and tell you which is the best of the two.

In advance, what we can tell you is that both one and the other are mobile phones that give absolutely magnificent performance and stand out in many of the actions they do, but what is each one better at?

Xiaomi 12T Pro VS Samsung Galaxy S22

Design and display

Here we begin to see the differences, because in the Galaxy S22 we see a much thinner mobile and trying to be elegant, while in the 12T Pro, we find a phone that wants to highlight its camera module. In the design, we did find a winner, since the Samsung Galaxy S22 feels very comfortable in the hand, helped in part because it is smaller, but in any case, we do not miss a few more inches in its size that is seen very low in weight.

As far as the screen is concerned, we find two devices that compete in a very even way; Very similar characteristics endorse them, fulfilling a very good experience. The Dynamic AMOLED screen of the Galaxy S22 may be one of the ones we like the most this year thanks to the great resolution that it is capable of giving, although the 12T Pro that has a higher resolution -although it is larger- does not stay behind. In situations where we need a lot of brightness, the S22 does win there, with a little more brightness, but we could talk about a technical tie.

Excellence made camera

Here we do find a clear winner, also being one of the most surprising in 2022. We are referring to the Xiaomi 12T Pro, a phone that focuses above all on its camera, where of course, it has reaped some results excellent. This is thanks to its 200 MP sensor , with which we are going to get some impressive photos both during the day and at night, being the first phone with a sensor of these characteristics. If you’re looking for a powerful camera, this wins here, but not by much the 12T Pro .

This, of course, does not mean that the Galaxy S22 does not have a good camera, quite the contrary. A phone that without great ostentation within its price, in this regard, achieves absolutely excellent results. It has a 12 Mpx main sensor , a 50 Mpx wide angle and a 12 Mpx telephoto lens, with which we can achieve excellent results thanks to Dual Pixel technology.

Batteries

As far as batteries are concerned, there is hardly any dispute. In the Galaxy S22 we find a device that has 3,700 mAh compared to the 5,000 offered by the 12T Pro. And the thing does not stop there, but when we talk about its fast charge, Xiaomi surprises again with an impressive fast charge of 120W while the Galaxy S22 does the same with only 25W.

Here, unlike what has happened before, we did find a clear winner. This is none other than the Xiaomi 12T Pro because it not only has more capacity, but its impressive fast charging makes it an absolutely spectacular phone.

MIUI 13 vs. One UI 5

As far as the system of each phone is concerned, we find that both run Android 12, but the customization layers are different, being MIUI 13 in one and One UI 5 in another , something that at first seems the same, but as We’ll see, the Galaxy S22 ahead of the Xiaomi model on the right thanks to the latest update to One UI 5. The point is that in terms of functionality, the Xiaomi 12T Pro lags a bit behind, as is the case with performance, where we could ask a little more. In the case of the Galaxy S22 we find an Exynos 2200 processor compared to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 of the 12T Pro.

As far as performance and operating system are concerned, as was to be expected, the Samsung model wins, being one of the mobile phones with the best performance this year, liking it a lot among different users.
