The Redmi Note series is the bread and butter of Xiaomi’s smartphone business. The brand recently announced it has sold over 300 million Redmi Notes globally. The sales figure is likely to see a major bump this year as the latest Note 12 Series, which was recently launched in China, is getting hugely popular among consumers.

Lucky for us, the Redmi Note 12 Series is finally making it out of China. The new lineup, which should include the Redmi Note 12 5G, Redmi Note 12 Pro, and Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus, will be launching in India next week. And here in this post, we have gathered everything you need to know about it. Let’s dive in.
