Our thoughts
In this comparison, you can see where the extra money goes when you go for the Xiaomi 12T Pro. It has a faster CPU and GPU, newer and faster tech for RAM, a bigger battery, and a more premium screen and builds.
The Infinix ZERO Ultra is no slouch either though. It has a significantly lower price but offers a camera system that rivals (arguably beats in real-life) the Xiaomi 12T Pro, an elegant, premium design, 180W Thunder Charge technology, and a nice curved AMOLED screen.
The 12T is simply faster in terms of overall performance though.
