Redmi’s budget smartphones are just as popular as its mid-range Note series phones. The company has recently introduced the affordable Redmi 12C to the global market, and it has also launched the Redmi A1 and A2 phones. Now, it appears that Xiaomi’s subsidiary is preparing to launch a new budget phone called the Redmi 12. Evidence of the device has been found on both the US FCC and IMEI websites. Although details are limited, we have learned a few things about the phone.

Redmi 12 might debut soon

As its name suggests, the Redmi 12 could be a new budget smartphone from the brand. While the company has yet to officially confirm the device, it has been listed on the IMEI database, which confirms its name and model number as 23053RN02L. Separately, a different version of the phone with the model number 23053RN02Y has been spotted on the FCC website.

According to the authority, the Redmi 12 will launch as a 4G smartphone that comes pre-installed with MIUI 14. While we expect the software to be based on Android 13, it’s difficult to say for sure with Redmi, as the company recently released an update for the Redmi Note 12 Pro phones that was based on Android 12 but still carried the MIUI 14 branding.

In addition, the FCC has revealed that the smartphone will come with a charging adapter that has the model number MDY-12-EA and supports 33W fast charging. We can speculate that the Redmi 12 will have a battery capacity of at least 5000mAh. Other specifications of the smartphone are still under wraps. We hope to learn more through various leaks and rumors. Stay tuned for the updates.
