The Redmi Note 12 series may debut in April or May and will be equipped with a high-performance processor from MediaTek, tipster Digital Chat Station broke the news with a post on Weibo today.
The tipster also said that while they’re unsure if the display is an LCD or OLED, they did spot a center-aligned punch-hole in it for the selfie camera.
Previously, Lu Weibing, president of Xiaomi Group China and general manager of the Redmi brand, stated that the Redmi Note series will be refreshed every six months, replacing the yearly cycle. Phones released under it will have a special focus on performance.
Some Weibo users speculated under the same post that the high-performance MediaTek processor in question will either be the Dimensity 8000 or the Dimensity 1300, which while is only talk at the moment, does have some weight to it. Both are quite powerful and are definitely “high-performance” offerings — just not as fast as the flagship Dimensity 9000 chip.
Aside from this, barely anything’s known about the Redmi Note 12 series at the moment, but we should be seeing more bits of info leak ahead of their launch, slated to be in the second quarter of this year.
The Redmi Note 11 Pro+ came with 120W fast charging support while the Redmi Note 11 Pro supported 67W, so we should be seeing similar speeds with the Redmi Note 12 series as well.
