Many people are of the opinion that 11T Pro is better. Well, 11T Pro outperforms 12X in terms of gaming. However, many people have reported overheating issues in Snapdragon 888, and that's why I would go for Xiaomi 12X. Regardless of the lacking IP classification and slower charging pace, I think 12X is better.
