JD.com and Tmall, two well-known online marketplaces, started taking pre-orders for the Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12 Pro smartphones after its release in late December. The total number of orders for the two flagships hit 200,000 in only one day, with the line growing longer.
The Xiaomi 12 compact was ordered by 98,000 individuals (18,000 on Tmall and 80,000 on JD.com), while the Xiaomi 12 Pro was bought by 110,000 people (21,000 on Tmall and 92,000 on JD.com).
Both Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12 Pro are equipped with curved OLED panels with a 120 Hz refresh rate, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, and a 50 MP primary camera with OIS. The basic version contains a 67W fast charging capability, while the expensive version incorporates a 120W ultra-quick charging capability.
To cater to the demands of varied fans, Xiaomi opted to make the Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12 Pro substantially different in size this time around.
