The screen supports a 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+, and includes a centered punch-hole cutout for the front-facing camera. An optical fingerprint scanner is integrated beneath the display.[4]

For photography, the Xiaomi 12 Lite features a triple rear camera array consisting of a 108 MP wide-angle lens with an f/1.8 aperture and phase-detection autofocus (PDAF), an 8 MP ultra wide angle lens with an f/2.2 aperture, and a 2 MP macro lens with an f/2.4 aperture.
