Xiaomi is ready to announce its highly anticipated Redmi Note 12 Turbo series in China this week on March 28, as the mid-range Android smartphone market heats up in 2023. This time around, the smartphone brand is bold enough to claim that the upcoming affordable Redmi Note 12 Turbo will offer the “flagship smartphone experience” at a much lower price than its competitors.
Xiaomi Group President and Redmi General Manager, Lu Weibing, posted on his Chinese social media Weibo recently, announcing that the company is serious about bringing the flagship-level performance and smartphone experience to a wider and more price-conscious audience.
Alongside the announcement, the President also shared that the Redmi Note 12 Turbo series will bring much beloved features such as the 3.5mm headphone jack, the infrared IR sensor, multifunctional NFC support, and support for the latest Bluetooth 5.3. These user beloved features are typically omitted in flagships that cost almost 5 times as much as the price range that the Redmi Note 12 Turbo is competing. Other notable additions include Dolby Atmos certified stereo speakers and an X-axis linear vibration motor normally found on more expensive smartphones.
The Redmi Note 12 Turbo is also the world’s first smartphone to be equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 processor, which brings significant improvements to performance and power consumption compared to its predecessor the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1. In fact, the 7+ Gen 2 is comparable to the flagship Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC launched last year.
And according to teasers revealed by the company, the front of the Redmi Note 12 Turbo sports a 6.67-inch OLED screen that supports a refresh rate of 120Hz and Full HD+ resolution. It also supports 68.7 billion colours, 100% of the DCI-P3 colour gamut, 1920Hz PWM dimming and HDR10+ certification. It is said that its screen-to-body ratio has reached 93.45%. The chin thickness of the Redmi Note 12 Turbo is 2.2mm, which is 0.2mm slimmer than the iPhone 14. The side frame thickness is 1.42mm and the top frame thickness is 1.95mm. There is also a small hole in the centre of the screen for the front selfie camera.
