Photos of people taken with the main camera on smartphones are quite similar in quality. Still, the Xiaomi 14 Pro has a warmer color scheme, the OnePlus 12 has a cooler color scheme, the brightness and contrast balance on the Xiaomi is very good, and the OnePlus shows a bit more detail in the images. Xiaomi 14 Pro also has a better dynamic range.
In portrait mode, the situation has changed. Xiaomi 14 Pro produces more detail in images and cuts edges better. This smartphone also has better exposure, dynamic range and color correction.
Selfie photos are slightly more natural in terms of skin tone and more detail has appeared on Xiaomi.

When recording video at 4K 30fps, both smartphones cope very well. But the expert himself would prefer Xiaomi due to its more natural white balance and better color correction. Also, the picture looks a little clearer on Xiaomi compared to OnePlus. At the same time, both devices shoot poorly at 4K 60fps.
OnePlus 12’s night photos are very saturated, while Xiaomi’s colors are more realistic. At the same time, OnePlus has better exposure and brightness. But all things considered, Xiaomi still took the best photos in low light.
OnePlus produces clearer photos when using zoom at night. The same goes for the ultra-wide-angle camera. Oddly enough, during the day, the Xiaomi 14 Pro sometimes produced better photos than the OnePlus 12 when using the zoom.
Looking at the price, the winner of the two smartphones was OnePlus 12. However, you may want to buy Xiaomi 14 Pro more due to its better performance and other features.
