what's happening everyone my name is alex and welcome back so xiaomi released three brand
new phones today we have the 12x we have the 12 and the 12 pro today i have here the xiaomi 12x
which is the cheapest one out of the three this device is also about 200 dollars cheaper than the
samsung galaxy s22 even though these two devices are pretty similar and i feel that the xiaomi 12x
is the direct competition for the samsung galaxy s22 so in today's video we're going
to be comparing the two and finding out which one is the better device and which one offers
the best value for your money so we are starting with the boxes in the box of the samsung galaxy
s2 you are not gonna find much there is basically a cable in there for your device and that's about
it where in the box of the xiaomi 12x you're gonna find a case for your devices so you don't have to
spend extra to buy a case and there is also a 67 watt fast charger so the xiaomi 12x supports 67
watt fast charging where the samsung galaxy s22 supports 25 watt fast charging but again you're
gonna have to buy a charger for your samsung device if you want to take advantage of those
charging speeds now charging from zero to 100 is done about 25 minutes faster on the xiaomi 12x
when compared to the samsung galaxy s22 so the 12x is faster at charging now inside the 12x we also
have a 4500 milliamp hour battery where inside the samsung galaxy s2 we have a 3700 milliamp
hour battery now surprisingly enough the s22 seems to get a bit more screen on time on one charge so
i was able to get almost nine hours of screen on time on the s22 or on the xiaomi 12x i was
able to get about eight hours of screen time i've done the exact same test on both devices so i had
the screen set at the maximum brightness and then i played videos for the duration of the battery
so it's able to get a bit more screen on time from the samsung galaxy s22 when compared to the xiaomi
12x taking a closer look at both devices well out of the to the samsung galaxy s22 is the somewhat
smaller device this one is also a bit lighter so we have 168 grams versus 176 grams so 8 grams
heavier for the xiaomi 12x on the front of this one we have a 6.28 inches amoled screen that has
a 1080p resolution and a refresh rate of 120 hertz i'm just going to open display here and refresh it
we're on the front of the samsung galaxy s22 we have a somewhat smaller screen so 6.1
inches amoled screen the 1080p resolution and once again 120 hertz refresh rate here as well the peak
brightness on the s22 is a bit higher than on the 12x so we have 1300 nits versus 1100 nits but
you're only going to be able to notice that if you take the phones outside in direct sunlight and you
have the screen brightness set on auto other than that you're not actually going to be able
to take advantage of that big brightness not to mention that if you do keep the screen at
that peak brightness you will use a lot of power both devices have in-screen fingerprint scanners
as well now i can't really say that one works better than the other one one of them is lower
so you kind of have to get used to pressing it in the right spot and i feel they're both equally
fast i think it really depends on how um how quick your finger touches if you're actually touching it
in the right spot so they do seem um quite um quite fast both of them so i can say that one
has a better fingerprint scanner than the other one so yes both of them can unlock that way or um
by using face unlocking turning the devices around well now you can kind of see that the s22 is a bit
um smaller than the 12x i think it's easier to see that um from the back now the backs here are made
out of glass on both devices or at least they feel like glass on their backs there but both devices
do feel quite on premium that was not something that i could say last year of the samsung galaxy
s21 the camera systems on their backs are also a bit different so we have the main cameras we have
ultra wide cameras and then on the back of the 12x we have what's called the telemachrom
camera this is basically a macro lens where on the back of the s22 we have a telephoto lens
so if you do take a lot of zoom pictures maybe the s22 may be the better choice for you but if you
do like taking a lot of macro pictures the 12x may be the better choice in that situation now
i've also done a camera comparison video between the 12x the samsung galaxy s 22 and my iphone 13
and i've included a bunch of pictures and videos in that um that video so if you want to get a
better feel of the cameras on the back of the 12x can do when compared to the cameras on the samsung
galaxy s1022 i definitely recommend checking out that video and i will leave a link to that in
the video's description or the top right corner so definitely check out that camera comparison if you
want to see more examples of pictures and videos the build quality is equally good on both devices
and even though the s22 seems to be the thicker device it is actually a bit thinner but um you
have to keep in mind that with the 12x we do get that curved screen and the back is also curved
with the s22 we don't have those um curves on the back or on the front so even though the s22 seems
a bit thicker it is actually a bit thinner than the 12x but build quality yes they both
look really really good and they both feel just as premium they both have dual speakers
so we have one speaker at the bottom on the s22 is on this side on the 12 x is
on this side and i feel that the s22 does get a bit louder but to the 12 x we actually get the
better sound quality from those some dual speakers so one speaker at the bottom one at the top and
next i want to show you a quick example just so you can hear how the sound from those speakers is
and as you've heard for yourself the speakers inside the s22 are
a bit louder but the speakers on the 12 x do sound fuller so i kind of prefer the quality
from the 12x even though in some situations having the louder speakers may actually be
more beneficial moving on to some specs so with the xiaomi 12x we have the snapdragon 870 so not
the latest cpu and with the s22 it depends where you actually buy it if you buy this in europe
you're gonna get the exynos 2200 but if you do buy this in north america you're getting the latest
snapdragon cpu this particular one it's using the exynos 2200 i also want to show you some um
benchmark results so on the geekbench 5 we get a multi-core score of about 3 500 on the s22 and a
multi-core score of 3200 done on the xiaomi 12x and this is the antutu benchmark score so here
we have a bigger difference so 883 000 on the s22 and about 606 000 on the 12 x now even though the
score is pretty pretty big like a big difference for these two scores you're not actually going to
feel the difference when you're using the devices i'm going to show you that um in just a bit
i want to exit this for a bit i was going to show you the reading and writing speeds for
the internal storage and the ram so the s22 i have 128 gigs where um with the 12x i have the version
that has 256 gigs of storage but as i said they both have eight gigs of ram so you do get faster
ram speeds on the 12 x when compared to the galaxy s22 but we do get higher reading speeds
for the internal memory on the galaxy s22 so overall pretty similar so let me show you how
how it is when you're actually opening apps and scrolling up and down and stuff like that let me
just reposition the camera so i just want to show you some apps that i have on the front page here
we'll start with facebook so they kind of open the apps at the same time scrolling up and down can't
really tell the difference and it's kind of the same for gaming really you're not going to notice
a difference if we open the gallery apps so not that big of a difference the play store
kind of um at the same time really so even though we do get a much higher um score on
the antutu benchmark for the galaxy s22 uh you're not gonna feel the difference um if this would
have happened like three years ago four years ago maybe then you'd felt a difference but these days
with those scores over 600 000 you will definitely not feel a difference in performance so let's open
those again so as you've seen for yourself when opening apps closing apps and stuff like that
both devices perform quite quite the same it almost seems like the 12x is a bit smoother in
some situations as well so yes the s22 is the more powerful device but realistically if you're
playing games if you're opening regular day-to-day apps you shouldn't actually notice a difference
between the two four performance now just in case you're wondering you're going to be able to watch
netflix in hd on both devices and they both have nfc chips inside them so you can make payments
using google play with the s22 and of course the 12 x what the s22 has extra is wireless charging
and reverse wireless charging with the xiaomi 12x we don't actually get them wireless charging
or reverse wireless charging but the 12x as i said the beginning of this video charges and about um
25 minutes faster than the samsung galaxy s 22 so i guess you lose some you win some as it's been
the case over the past few years with xiaomi devices you do get more value for your money
in this situation the xiaomi 12x is actually 200 dollars cheaper than the galaxy s22 and yes the
s22 is technically the more powerful device out of the two but for day-to-day usage you're not
gonna notice a difference even for games you're not gonna notice the difference between the 12x
and the galaxy s22 certain aspects of the xiaomi 12x are also better than on the galaxy s22 we
have faster charging a bigger screen a bigger battery but then on the s22 you get the better
cameras so it depends what's important to you and how much money you want to spend but for its
price the xiaomi 12 x does offer a lot of value when compared to the samsung galaxy s22 alright
guys hopefully this video was useful thanks for watching and i'll see you guys in the next one
