Comparison review
Xperia 10 III has an overall score of 83.7, which is a bit better than Xiaomi 12's overall score of 78.8. Xperia 10 III's design is a bit thicker but a little lighter than the Xiaomi 12, and both of them were released with only a couple of months difference. Both devices we are comparing here include Android OS (operating system), but the Xperia 10 III has the older 11 version and Xiaomi 12 has Android 12.
The Xiaomi 12 has a bit better looking display than Xperia 10 III, because although it has a just a little less pixels per inch of display and a quite lower resolution of 1080 x 2400, it also counts with a quite bigger display. Xperia 10 III features a much bigger memory capacity to install games and applications than Xiaomi 12, and although they both have equal 128 GB internal storage capacity, the Xperia 10 III also has an external memory slot that holds a maximum of 1 TB.
Xperia 10 III features a much faster processor than Xiaomi 12, although it has a lower amount of RAM memory, they both have 8 cores. Xiaomi 12 captures much better pictures and videos than Xperia 10 III, because although it has a tinier diafragm aperture which is not good for taking images or videos in poorly lited environments, it also counts with a much higher video resolution, a much better 50 MP resolution back-facing camera and a way larger sensor providing a lot higher image quality.
Xperia 10 III's battery life is just as good as Xiaomi 12's battery performance.
