The post Redmi Note 12 4G Hands-on Images Surface Revealing Design & Specs appeared first on Gizmochina.

Redmi Note 12 series is already official in the global market and has been well-received by consumers. The entire range boasts impressive specifications and includes 5G connectivity at a competitive price point. However, it seems the company is working on a new Note 12 Series handset with only 4G connectivity. The device will likely be called Redmi Note 12 4G and while there’s no official confirmation, a new report has shared its specifications and design renders.

Tipster Sudhanshu Ambhore took to Twitter to share the renders of the unreleased Redmi Note 12 4G. The images reveal the 4G handset will follow the same design language as its rest two siblings in the series. It sports a flat back, with likely a frosty polycarbonate glass on top. The camera island is also similar— you get a rectangular module that houses 3 separate rings for the camera sensors.

On the front, the Redmi Note 12 4G features a flat display with a punch-hole cutout on the top center. The bezels around the display are decent— not too thick, not too thin. All in all, the handset looks quite premium, considering the fact that it will be priced under 180 USD (Rs. 15,000).

Ambhore also shared a live image of the handset, which shows its “About phone” section. It reveals the Note 12 4G will pack an unreleased Qualcomm Snapdragon 685 SoC under the hood. As per the tipster, this SoC is an overclocked version of the Snapdragon 680 SoC. Further, the handset could arrive with 4GB of RAM and 3GB of virtual RAM. It will run Android 13-based MIUI 14 out of the box.

Previous rumors also hint at a 120Hz 6.67-inch AMOLED display, a 50MP primary shooter, and a 5000mAh battery with support for 33W charging. Redmi Note 12 4G’s launch date is still anyone’s guess. We hope to learn more in the coming days.

These handsets range from budget to flagship segments. Around 11 brands are said to debut new phones in the coming days.

A few of these devices have already gone official. However, they will be making their way to more markets this month.

But most of these handsets are brand-new. Some of them are even the most-anticipated releases, such as the Oppo Find X6 series and Redmi Note 12 Turbo.

With that out of the way, let’s take a look at these phones one by one.

Upcoming Smartphones in March 2023

Oppo Find N2 Flip

iQOO Z7 Series

The iQOO Z7 is planned to launch in India on March 21. The brand has already confirmed all the key details of the device.

The Z7 will come with a Dimensity 920 chipset, an AMOLED display, an OIS-assisted 64MP primary camera, Funtouch OS 13 based on Android 13, and 44W fast charging support.

The handset is designed exclusively for India and it is tipped to cost ₹17,999 for 6GB RAM and 128GB RAM. It is also said to come in an 8GB + 128GB memory configuration and two colors (Pacific Night and Norway Blue).

The Chinese version of iQOO Z7 is also expected this month. It will be a different product altogether powered by a Snapdragon 782G chipset. It will be accompanied by iQOO Zx featuring a Snapdragon 695 SoC.

Redmi has officially debuted the Redmi Note 12 series smartphones in the Indian and Chinese markets. Compared to the three Note 12 series variations available in India, the Chinese market offers a few extra choices. In China, the majority of Note 12 series smartphones support 5G networks, however, the brand appears to have a 4G device in the pipeline for some markets.

XiaomiUI has spotted the Redmi Note 12 4G Indian and global variants on the IMEI database. These devices are likely headed to countries that haven’t fully transitioned to 5G network yet. Other than India and other global markets, the device might also debut in China as an affordable Note 12 option.

Model numbers 23028RA60L and 23021RAAEG are on the ones that will be sold in India and some international markets. These devices carry the codename Tapas and lack NFC support. There is an NFC-enabled version that will debut in international markets but not in India. The model number for this variation is 23021RAA2Y, and it goes by the codename “topaz.”

The report also included information on the phone’s software. According to XiaomiUI, the Note 12 4G will boot the most recent Android 13 operating system. As anticipated, MIUI 14 will be added on top. In contrast, the Note 12 series, which was released in India, comes pre-installed with MIUI 13, an Android 12-based operating system.

The phone will debut with at least 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, according to the rumor. 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage will be available as the highest storage option. Unfortunately, no other information is available on the Redmi Note 12 4G as of yet. However, we can expect it to feature an AMOLED display, and there is a possibility that it might be powered by the MediaTek Helio G99 chipset.
