The Xiaomi 12 Pro will cost $1,000/€1,000 for the variant with 8 GB of RAM And 256 GB of Internal Storage. There is also a version with 12 GB of RAM with the same 256 GB of Internal Storage. The Mi 11 Pro never reached the global markets, so it’s hard to compare the prices with its predecessor.

There is also one particular option with 256 GB of Internal Storage.
