On March 23, Redmi will launch the Redmi Note 12 5G, Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G, and Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G smartphones in the global market. There were some reports that the Note 12S would debut alongside these smartphones. However, it appears that it may go official at a later date.

Reports have claimed that the Redmi Note 12S could be a rebranded version of last year’s Redmi Note 11S. The only difference between the two models could be that the 12S will offer faster charging capabilities. While the Note 11S supports 33W charging, the Note 12S is expected to support 67W fast charging.

The Redmi Note 12S is expected to feature a 6.43-inch AMOLED display that offers a Full HD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. It is expected to run on Android 13 OS and the MIUI 14. For security, it may come equipped with a side-facing fingerprint scanner.

The MediaTek Helio G96 chipset is likely to power the Note 12S. It is expected to come equipped with up to 8 GB of LPDDR4x RAM and up to 128 GB of storage. It may pack a 5,000mAh battery with 67W fast charging support. It may arrive with a 16-megapixel front-facing camera, and a 108-megapixel (main) + 8-megapixel (ultrawide) + 2-megapixel (macro) + 2-megapixel (depth) quad-camera system.
