As scheduled, Redmi has taken wraps off the Redmi Note 12 Pro series in China. The lineup consists of three models, namely Redmi Note 12 Pro, Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus, and Redmi Note 12 Discovery Edition. There’s also a Redmi Note 12 Yibo Edition based on Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus.
The three smartphones only differ in certain specs, while most part of the feature set is common across them. They can also be termed as different variants of the same handset, just like the Redmi Note 11T Pro series.
With that out of the way, let’s take a look at everything the Redmi Note 12 Pro family has to offer along with its price pricing and availability.
Redmi Note 12 Pro Series Specifications
All three models in the Redmi Note 12 Pro lineup sport a 6.67-inch centered punch-hole OLED display with a resolution of 2,400 x 1,080 pixels (FHD+), a 120Hz refresh rate, a 240Hz touch sampling rate, a 1920Hz PWM dimming, and a 16,000 level dimming. The 20:9 panel supports a 5,000,000:1 contrast ratio, 10-bit color depth, 900 nits peak brightness level, HDR10+, HDR10, and Dolby Vision.
The phones are powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 1080 SoC paired with LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 2.2 storage. The Pro Plus and the Discovery Edition feature a 3,000mm² VC cooling system, whereas the regular Pro version has a smaller 2,000mm² graphene-based cooling system.
The trio comes with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, an IR blaster, an x-axis linear vibration motor, dual stereo speakers, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Connectivity options on it include dual SIM, 5G, WiFi 6, GNSS, NFC, and USB Type-C.
The devices boot MIUI 13 based on Android 12. The Pro and Pro Plus are backed by a 5,000mAh battery. But the Discovery houses a 4,300mAh battery.
Talking about major differences, the Pro sports a 50MP Sony IMX766 primary camera. This 1/1.56-inch sensor has a 6P lens, f/1.88 aperture, and OIS.
On the other hand, the Pro Plus and Discovery Edition flaunt a 200MP Samsung ISOCELL HPX main camera measuring 1/1.4-inch in size. It arrives with a 7P lens, ALD coating, f/1.65 aperture, and OIS.
However, all three handsets have the same 8MP ultra-wide camera and 2MP macro camera. They also have an identical 16MP front-facing camera.
Further, they support different charging speeds. The Pro, the Pro Plus, and the Discovery Edition support 67W, 120W, and 210 fast charging, respectively.
