00:00We've got a pretty phone today. We're looking at the Xiaomi 12 Lite.
00:30Good day, you beautiful people! Welcome to Isabel's Tech where we do tech in your life in style.
00:47You just saw our unboxing of the Xiaomi 12 Lite. Another pretty pink phone and you guys know I
00:53love it. But aside from great looks, what other features does this phone have? In this video,
00:58you're gonna find out just that. Also, we're doing a camera tour and some sample shots.
01:02Let's get a closer look. Still can't get over how pretty this is.
01:11So that is sort of a matte frosted back which is great for smudges because there aren't any.
01:19Xiaomi branding at the bottom there. And here you have your cameras. There's also a flash,
01:26108 megapixel branding, and it's a slight camera bump on that side. Edges on the phone are flat
01:33and I'm noticing that like the design that more and more devices are sort of going towards these
01:39days. You have a volume rocker, you have your power button. At the bottom, speaker grills,
01:45USB-C port, and then SIM tray, dual SIM slot. We have a clean other side. Up top, speakers,
01:53and that is an IR blaster. So pretty. Okay, so up front, that is an always-on display.
02:02This is what that screen looks like. And yes, you have a punch hole camera.
02:23So
02:42right, so first impressions, I love it. I love it. I love it. You guys know I love pink so obviously
02:47I'm gonna like this color. Compared to the previous light phones, this pink is a little
02:52bit more iridescent and it really shines when the light hits it a certain way. I absolutely love it.
02:59If you're not as much a fan of pink as I am, there's also a really cute mint green version
03:03of this. Thank you, Xiaomi, for making colorways on your light phones particularly cute. But it's
03:08not just looks. This thing reps 108 megapixel main rear camera. And this I'm excited about,
03:14a 32 megapixel selfie camera. And this isn't the first time we've seen this, but I'm always thrilled
03:19when I see it on a phone. It just sort of makes me feel like they're paying a little bit more
03:23attention to the selfie cameras. There are dual LED lights up front, and Xiaomi calls this the
03:29Xiaomi Selfie Glow. Now, if you want me to be testing out these cameras, let me know in the
03:33comment section down below. If you want to see a camera vlog test or social media test, let me know.
03:37Right, this also reps a 4300mAh battery with 67W fast charging, and 120Hz screen with an
03:44in-display fingerprint scanner that always just makes your phone feel a little more premium.
03:49Plus, this has Dolby Vision and Dolby Sound. Right, camera tour time.
03:56Right, camera tour time. Let's go. Hey, let's start on the rear camera. So, you have wide, 1x, 2x,
04:05up until 10x, back to 1x. Flash settings, HDR settings, AI. You have your different filters
04:15and your beauty mode here. You have Google Lens. And then under settings, you have size, timer,
04:21movie frame mode, macro mode, tilt shift, and time burst. On the right, you have portrait. Of course,
04:27you can toggle the blur in the background from an aperture of 1 to 16. And then here, you have
04:33different cinematic effects. You have your beautify filters and then even more filters.
04:39And then under settings, size, timer, movie frame mode. Under more, you have a night mode that you
04:47can do wide, 1x, 2x, up until 10x, back to 1x. And up here, you have size and movie frame mode. And
04:58yes, there is a selfie night mode. There's a 108 megapixel mode. Again, we've seen this before
05:04because the main shooter is 108 megapixels but shoots smaller but better photos with pixel binning.
05:11If you want to be shooting 108 megapixel photos, this is the mode you go to. And then you have your
05:16filters and then other settings as well. You have a short video mode. Now again, and I've mentioned
05:23this in my previous Xiaomi videos, short video mode is basically Xiaomi's solution to Android
05:28not being optimized on social media. It allows for you to shoot short clips for social media
05:33in your camera app and then straight away share it using that little button. And your social media
05:41should show up here. So as you can see, I have my Facebook and my Instagram here. If for example,
05:45I decide to like tap stories, it will go straight to Instagram and upload the content there. Now,
05:52that's not the only fun thing on short video mode. You have fun effects like you can speed it up or
05:57slow it down. You have other filters. You have a beautify mode and the fun kaleidoscope mode.
06:04You can also do wide, 1x, 2x, up until 6x here. And you can do flash. You can add a background music
06:14and then under more settings, it allows for you to shoot 720p or 1080p. You have a panorama mode,
06:21document scanner, a vlog mode. Again, a really fun way to just shoot more cinematic videos
06:27based on templates you already have here. You have your slow motion mode. And can you zoom in? Yes,
06:34up until 3x. And it allows you to shoot 1080p 120fps to 960fps. You have a time-lapse mode as well.
06:44You can do wide, 1x, 2x, up until 6x. You have 4x up until 1800x. Whoa! And then also your different
06:56camera settings. Then, there's movie effects which allow for like really cool cinematic effects.
07:02I know I said that already but this is different this time. This time around, you get like cool
07:07stuff like the magic zoom or slow shutter effect. Now, I know this isn't the first time you've seen
07:16this or seen me talk about this. I've previously mentioned this on previous Xiaomi phones but
07:22always cool to see all the fun features in a phone. And again, if you want me to be checking out
07:28these features, comment down below. I usually do them in social media tests. Right, long exposure
07:34mode, always fun. And then the different like templates down here. You have a dual video mode
07:40and then of course, you can move that around and stuff. And finally, the clone mode. Really, I've not
07:46found any like practical use for the clone mode except that it's like a super fun thing to do on
07:53Xiaomi phones. On the other side, we have video, wide, 1x, 2x, up until 6x, back to 1x. Flash settings,
08:03you have a super steady video mode, you have your different filters, you have your beautify mode on
08:09video, and then you can shoot also up until 4k 30fps. Though, if you turn on beauty mode, that does
08:18downgrade to 1080p. That's something that most phones do really. Under pro mode, you have your
08:25different settings. You can shoot 108 megapixels and then you can shoot in raw. There's exposure
08:32verification and focus peaking. Always fun. Now, there is no selfie mode for pro but there is on
08:39video, selfie video. You have flash, you have your different filters, you have your beautify mode, and
08:46also you can shoot up until 1080p 60fps. And then on photos, you have 1x, 2x. Wow, okay. 1x up until 2x,
08:56you have your different beautify filters, different filters, HDR settings, and then you have size,
09:03timer, palm shutter, always useful. The portrait mode, toggle your blur, you have your beautify filters,
09:12cinematic effects, you can zoom. No, you can't. And then we're back to more which we've looked at earlier
09:20and so now, time for some sample shots.
09:26♪♪♪
09:54And that was our first look at the Xiaomi 12 Lite. Another pretty phone and I expect no less
09:59from this series. The Lite series, I really look forward to each iteration every year. I feel like
10:05in the Xiaomi lineup, this is the series that most speaks to me and my wants. AKA, great looks, a
10:11capable camera, and even a capable selfie camera. But then again, I'd still need more time to test
10:16out this phone. This is, after all, just our first look. Comment down below what type of videos you
10:21want me to be shooting with the Xiaomi 12 Lite. That's it for today. If you want to see how I use
