This makes it possible for users to have more options to choose from. For context, the previously released Mi 11 series all came with same 6.81-inch screen size. Meaning, users who prefer a different screen size has no option.
But, Xiaomi correctly this mistake and made the screen of the Xiaomi 12 smaller than that of the Xiaomi 12 Pro. Users who prefer smaller screen can buy the Xiaomi 12 while those who prefer bigger screens can buy the Xiaomi 12 Pro.
