XIAOMI 12 PRO

Margaret Thatcher famously functioned on just four hours of sleep a night. Perhaps being an evil witch doesn’t take up much energy, but Xiaomi’s new 12 Pro makes the former Prime Minister look positively lazy. Plug it in using a 120W charger and the 4600mah battery will go from flat to full in just 18 minutes. And that’s not because it doesn’t have much to do: the fingerprint-resistant chassis houses a bright WQHD+ 6.73in AMOLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip and 8/12GB of RAM, not to mention a trio of 50MP cameras on the back, including a 2x zoomer. There’s no waterproofing, but Thatcher never got caught in the rain without a brolly anyway. £1049 / mi.com
