Xiaomi 12 Pro price in India down by up to Rs 10,000 off via discount, bank offer: should you buy?

However, this brings us to the question of whether consumers should buy the phone or look elsewhere. It does come with Snapdragon 8 Gen1 chipset, but the SoC is riddled with some throttling issues that cause the performance to come down considerably.

Xiaomi 12 Pro price

Xiaomi 12 Pro price in India at launch was Rs 62,999 for the 8GB/256GB version and Rs 66,999 for the 12GB/256GB model. However, the brand is offering a Rs 4,000 discount as an Amazon coupon and a Rs 6,000 instant discount via ICICI credit and EMI transactions.

Should you buy the Xiaomi 12 Pro?

Xiaomi 12 Pro is a decent flagship that can be purchased at a discounted price. It comes with a 2K AMOLED display, a 4,600mAh battery, 120W fast charging support, and boots Android 12 OS. The iPhone 12 also comes close to the Xiaomi 12 Pro’s price but if you are an Android fanboy, there’s nothing like the Xiaomi 12 Pro in this price range. Mind you the chipset has its own issues that cause some heating as well.

Our review of the phone reads,

The Xiaomi 12 Pro does more right than wrong and correspondingly, is a decent option in its price segment.
