Yesterday, the Redmi Note 12 Turbo finally went official in China. It is the world’s first smartphone with the new Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 2 chipset.
Thus, the device is the most powerful Redmi Note series phone to date. Also, it is the first in the lineup to feature 1TB storage and at the same time, the most affordable one as well.
Just a few hours after the handset’s release, the company has now revealed its initial sales performance. Let’s go through the details.
Redmi says that it took only 2.5 hours to break the sales record of 2023. The Redmi Note 12 Turbo became the best-seller across the leading three e-commerce platforms in China, namely JD, Tmall, and Pinduoduo.
Additionally, the 1TB variant of the device sold out in seconds online along with the Harry Potter Edition. Redmi’s GM Lu Weibing asks buyers to check availability at their nearby Xiaomi Homes.
As mentioned earlier, the Redmi Note 12 Turbo is the cheapest 1TB smartphone on the market right now. It carries an official price tag of just ¥2,799 (~$405). On top of that, it can be had at only ¥2,599 (~$380) as part of launch offers.
Unfortunately, the brand did not reveal the number of units sold. Previously, Xiaomi used to share those numbers but it has stopped doing it now. This is likely due to the drop in smartphone shipments these days.
The Redmi Note 12 Turbo is expected to release as Poco F5 outside mainland China. The launch is tipped for next week, however, that may not happen.
