Xiaomi 12 Lite: Snappy phone with an accelerated, all-around performance

Tweet

 

The Xiaomi 12 Lite was recently introduced in a grand launch event at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and created a stir with its enhanced performance rivaling other top-notch smartphones.

Boosted convenience on the go

What captured the attention of observers at the launch was the Xiaomi 12 Lite’s snappy, all-round performance,  using a Snapdragon® 778G 5G chipset. Prized for its accelerated AI and integrated 5G modem, said chipset supports cutting-edge mobile gaming, as well as premium photo and video capturing. Phone users get to enjoy smoother and faster performance of their favorite apps – from simple to resource-intensive ones like Netflix, Spotify, and the all-important digital camera.

Xiaomi 12 Lite’s  faster surfing and the extended battery use, along with the behind-the-scenes temperature efficiency, are all largely due to the phone’s optimal computing power.

Sharp, responsive screen

One of the best parts of this phone is its 6.55" full HD, AMOLED display, which gives vivid picture quality. Combined with Dolby Atmos® and its crystal-clear dual speakers, HDR10+ support and 120Hz refresh rate, the phone is great for watching movies and playing games.

Its advanced 2-staged AdaptiveSync feature also allows you to glide through any content and ensures you of a more enjoyable viewing experience all the while preserving battery life. The screen’s 240Hz touch sampling rate, on the other hand, provides a prompt response to your every move.

The screen also has multiple eye care modes designed to continually protect your eyes and decrease eye strain. The sunlight mode enables you to see the display clearly even under sunlight.

Extra convenient features

Xiaomi 12 Lite has an innovative in-screen fingerprint sensor to enable you to securely unlock your phone faster and more easily – with just one simple touch.

The phone’s massive 4300mAh battery allows you to go for long hours without recharging. When you do need to recharge, however, its nifty 67W turbo charging feature allows you to go from zero to 100% in just 41 minutes.

To help protect long-term battery life, Xiaomi  infused it with its AdaptiveCharge feature, which “learns” and adapts to your night-time charging behavior. With this feature, charging will pause at 80% while you are asleep, then resume later so it gets fully charged before you wake up.

Oil industry leader Petron Corporation helped big bikers commemorate 15 years of access to the expressways with the 2022 Highway Run held last September 24, 2022.

Initiated by the Mad Dog Motorcycle Club, the event celebrates the successful advocacy to open up Philippine toll roads to large displacement motorcycles with engines 400cc and over. The Toll Regulatory Board under the Department of Transportation granted the petition last September 28, 2007.

For this year’s special commemoration, participating motorcycle clubs received tokens at Petron San Pedro SLEX and at Petron Pura Tarlac along the Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEX). Over 500 riders dropped by the designated Petron stations.

According to Mad Dog’s president, Dustin Andaya, “The two-wheel community appreciates the special focus of Petron, particularly in the products and services that are customized for our needs. For example, bikers can enjoy the exclusive motorcycle lane at Petron stations that makes fueling up safe and hassle-free. Also, they have developed products formulated for motorcycles. And, of course, the convenience stores, food establishments, and clean facilities at Petron stations are good stopovers during our rides. Plus, with Blaze 100, we really enjoy our rides more because it brings out the best from our bikes”.

Indeed, PETRON BLAZE 100 EURO 6 is the only 100-octane pure gasoline, recognized as the best in the country. As such, it perfectly complements motorcycle engines that are designed to operate at higher engine speeds and higher power output. Big bikers are also assured that it meets the Philippine and European fuel quality standards and is certified to be Euro 6-compliant.

Favored by knowledgeable motorcycle enthusiasts, PETRON BLAZE 100 EURO 6 delivers the following advantages and benefits: improved fuel efficiency, powerful engine performance and acceleration, guaranteed cleaner engines on just one full tank, improved combustion with its unique fuel and additive formulation, significantly reduced harmful emissions, and reduced maintenance costs.
