            I used xiaomi12 before, but its processing performance and heat treatment performance, mainly for gaming, are exceptionally good. Along with this, the battery life is also good. The performance of 8+gen1 is amazing. Cameras supervised by Leica with relatively large sensors also make shooting fun. I think it's a masterpiece because of its size, but it's a shame that it's a very minor model.

                    Xiaomi 12S does have a memory slot. If you had a memory card in the last phone, it works fine. But the file manager does not interact as it did in older devices

                      Selo, 04 Sep 2023I want to buy this phone, do you recommend it to me? Or buy anything else? I want to use it ... moreI had the base 12 before (with no "S) and it was overheating due to the SoC. (8 Gen1)

                      The 8+ Gen1 in the 12S series should do much better, so therefore I'd say go for the 12S if everything else matches your expectations.

                                    Got a used Xiaomi 12s for around USD 200, and flashed it with Xiaomi.eu rom. Most incredible value ever, flawless screen, excellent camera with the Leica camera tweaks. Plays everything under the sun on Android with no problems, great battery life, and 67W charging is fast, plug it in at 25% in the morning, make coffee, and bam its at 70%. If you're looking for a "compact" smartphone, you can't go wrong with it. Solves all the issues that the 12 series had.

                                    Plus with the eu rom (codename MAYFLY) you get all the great functionality of the China rom, without any of the bloatware, ads, and hiccups! Suddenly, MIUI becomes one of the the best UI experiences ever. If you're not averse to using a well-supported custom rom like this one, I find hardly any reason to get the expensive Xiaomi 13 over the 12s. Or, really any other phone really. Looking at you Realme and Vivo.
