Redmi is soon going to launch multiple smartphones, such as the Redmi A2, Redmi 12C, and Redmi Note 12 series \ in the global market. It appears that the Note 12 family also include a new model named the Redmi Note 12S. Tipster Kacper Skrzypek has leaked some initial details about the device. While the above-mentioned devices are expected to launch this month or in April in the European markets, the Note 12S is likely to debut in the second quarter of 2023.

The tipster claims that the Redmi Note 12S is probably codenamed as the “Sea” and “Ocean.” One of the codenames is for the NFC variant, while the other one lacks support for NFC.

He said that the Note 12S will be powered by the MediaTek chipset, but he is unsure about the exact name of the SoC. Hence, it is unclear whether the device supports 4G or 5G connectivity. The tipster has learned from one of the Xiaomi distributors in Europe that the Note 12S will be available for purchase by mid-May.

The Redmi Note 12S will arrive as a successor to the Redmi Note 11S, which debuted in January 2022. The Note 11S is a mid-range smartphone from Xiaomi that was released in 2022.

The device is powered by a Helio G96 chipset paired with up to 8GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of internal storage. The phone runs on MIUI 13 based on Android 12.

The Note 11S is backed by a 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging support. Its rear-facing quad-camera setup includes a 108-megapixel primary sensor, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, a 2-megapixel macro lens, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor.
