Common Questions


The 12 Lite price will vary depending on retailer, age, special offers and whether or not it's purchased with a service plan. If purchased with a 2 year service contract for example, you would likely pay much less for the phone itself up front. You can compare Xiaomi 12 Lite prices from around the web here on The Informr.


Xiaomi backs up the 12 Lite with a 1 Year parts & labour warranty.


If your 12 Lite has problems and is still within its warranty period, you could contact Xiaomi support or the retailer you purchased the phone from. You'll find Xiaomi's contact information here.
