We all want to travel “lite.”

Phone, wallet, and keys are all we need in this life of a digitized world. Gone are the days when we travel with big bulky luggage. Even our essentials or must-haves like alcohol or hand sanitizers, masks, and anti-bacterial wipes are fashionably curated for convenience.

Xiaomi Philippines has been supporting the majority to enjoy the best of both worlds: having an affordable mid-range mobile phone with all the features intact like camera, storage, and aesthetics.

If you have been looking for an affordable phone with the best quality features. Look no further; Xiaomi 12 Lite is here to keep you mesmerized all throughout.

Xiaomi 12 Lite is so slim that it could fit anywhere: back pocket, small purse, and even your laptop bag without even noticing it is there! Even if you just have to bring your wallet and phone with you, this wouldn’t be an inconvenience since the phone weighs roughly about 173 grams.

When traveling, I tend to bring a bag that holds all of my devices, from my phone and laptop to my mouse and chargers. While we often allot pockets to put our phones in, I can assure you that you will not have that problem with the Xiaomi 12 Lite because it fits every crevice of your bag!

Could be your handy or alternative mirrorless camera (on a budget!)

Let’s face it— inflation and income stagnation are not sparing anyone soon. We are slowly transitioning back to physical operations, but most of us are still working in the digital world. This requires us to ensure that our devices are updated with the technological changes and advances happening globally. Focusing on the laborious aspect of content creation, this job requires captivating the audience, which heavily relies on three things: aesthetic, the content itself, and the content delivery.

This is not your ordinary mid-range mobile phone. I am truly amazed with its capability to capture images in low light situations. Thanks to its 108MP camera powered by a large HM2 sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide angle camera and a 2MP macro camera that captures high-definition images in detail from any angle.

With Xiaomi 12 Lite’s camera, you do not have to worry about taking aesthetic content. All you have to do is point the camera at your subject, and the phone will do all the work. Xiaomi 12 Lite has a studio-level triple camera setup, a 108MP main camera powered by a large HM2 sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide angle camera and a 2MP macro camera that can take high-definition pictures in detail from any angle. And they mean it—any angle. The camera configuration improves picture clarity and quality when combined with eye tracking focus and enabled motion capture. It also creates a whole new range of opportunities for spontaneous cover photos.

A GD2 sensor and autofocus capabilities on the 32MP front camera allow crystal-clear selfies with exquisite color and clarity. In addition, the Selfie portrait mode with auto HDR is able to produce attractive results for fashion selfies thanks to Xiaomi’s in-house algorithm, which uses depth estimation and portrait matting to mimic a real bokeh effect.

You can finally bring your city lights Pinterest board to life with Xiaomi 12 Lite’s camera! I mean, check out its low-light photos. Need I say more?

Mr. KM Leong, General Manager of Southeast Asia, Xiaomi International excitedly shared with us the price of this gem of a phone. I asked a few friends from the media their guess estimate prices for Xiaomi Lite 12 and they all gave me beyond P30,000. When Mr. Leong announced the price, they were in awe!

Don’t take my word for it. Grab yours for as low as P20,999 for 6GB+128GB and P21,999 for 8GB+128GB.

Flagship-level 5G performance with 67W turbo charging

A powerbank remains a staple item to bring whenever we travel. But if you’re running around with a powerbank, is your phone really taking you places?

Xiaomi 12 Lite is outfitted with a Snapdragon ® 778G chipset, enabling flagship-level 5G performance with 67W turbo charging performance. The octa-core SoC, which is constructed using a 6nm process, maximizes 5G 1 while maintaining a balance between performance and power consumption. The multi-tier cooling system makes sure that heat is dissipated effectively to give a seamless experience all around.

The Xiaomi 12 Lite’s 4,300mAh battery readily supports a full day of use, and the 67W turbo charging quickly charges the battery to 100% in just 41 minutes! Here’s the best part— the Xiaomi AdaptiveCharge smart charging algorithm learns users’ nighttime charging habits to improve charging strategy throughout the night, allowing the device to be completely charged just before the user wakes up. This helps to prolong the smartphone’s long-term battery health. You no longer have to worry about your battery health jumping to 68% because Xiaomi knows how to take care of its battery.

Xiaomi 12 Lite has a lot more to offer— A LOT. You will truly appreciate everything about this phone once it’s in your hands. So, don’t miss out on this modern masterpiece. You can cop this phone and all its magical features for PHP 20,999.

It’s as if Xiaomi is rewarding you for making the best mobile choice and buying the best phone ever! Who wouldn’t want that?

It’s Worth Your While

I’ve always believed that the only bad photo taken is the photo not taken at all. In creating and preserving memories, capturing them is pivotal in this day and age. Regardless if the photos were blurry or what, there’s always a story behind it. I’ve been reviewing mobile phones for years now and I must admit that Xiaomi 12 Lite really made an impression. I love capturing images done in extremely hard situations; moving, running, low light, and all. As someone working alongside a paparazzi, photos must be crisp, vivid, and ready to publish. There’s no time to edit. Evidently, Xiaomi 12 Lite ticks all the things I need on a mobile phone. Colors come out perfectly. The vividness and crispness are evident. I already knew that their cameras are splendid, since I have a tablet and a few Xiaomi items at home. But I never knew the Xiaomi 12 Lite would surpass my expectations. It’s definitely worth your while. All you need and look for is with Xiaomi 12 Lite; fascinating camera, long lasting battery life, easy to carry, and affordable.

To our friends in Xiaomi Philippines, thank you for the opportunity to capture great memories in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia with Xiaomi 12 Lite.
