Xiaomi’s two affordable smartphones, Redmi 12 and Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G, are receiving the June 2024 security patch. This will make the devices more vulnerable to security vulnerabilities and will also significantly improve system stability. In addition to their stylish design, the Redmi 12 and Note 12 Pro 4G have also won the favor of users with their other features. Both smartphones are extremely popular in many countries.

HyperOS June Update

The Redmi 12 and another phone, the Note 12 Pro 4G, are now getting the June security patch with the latest HyperOS update. This update was first released for users with HyperOS Global ROM. This update’s build numbers are OS1.0.6.0.UMXMIXM for the Redmi 12 and OS1.0.5.0.THGMIXM for the 12 Pro 4G. The released HyperOS updates first started rolling out to HyperOS Pilot users. The update is expected to be available to all users in the future.

The sizes of the update are 177MB and 1.1GB respectively and include the latest June patch. It’s also worth noting that Xiaomi is working on fixing vulnerabilities in HyperOS and making sure the system runs as smoothly as possible. These two budget devices receiving the latest security patches is an indication that the Chinese brand cares a lot about its smartphones.

In April, Xiaomi unveiled Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G for select international markets. This device is an upgraded version of the Redmi Note 10 Pro from two years ago.

It was released with Android 11 but with MIUI 13 onboard. However, the handset was soon upgraded to Android 12-based MIUI 14.

Now, it has started receiving Android 13 as well. In other words, in less than 4 months on the market, Xiaomi has delivered 2 Android updates for the phone by debuting it with an outdated version of Android.

As per Xiaomiui, the Android 13 update for Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G is currently limited to Mi Pilot testers. But it should be available for all users in the coming days.

Apart from bringing a new version of Android, the system update also bumps up the security patch level to July 2023. Other than these two changes, the official changelog does not mention anything else.

Users of the smartphone can periodically head over to Settings to check whether their unit has received the fresh software update.

For the unaware, the Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G is based on the Redmi Note 10 Pro. It comes with a different design and a couple of upgrades.

The newer model arrives with a faster 67W charging support instead of 33W and a Dolby Vision-enabled display. However, at the same time, its battery capacity is slightly lower at 5,000mAh compared to a 5,020mAH battery inside the older handset.

Xiaomi launched its Redmi Note 12 series smartphones in the European market a couple of weeks ago, and now the company has added two more phones to the lineup in Europe.

Redmi Note 12S and Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G are the two new smartphones that have been launched in the European market. The Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G is priced at €329, while the Redmi Note 12S costs €289 and comes in Onyx Black, Ice Blue, and Pearl Green colors.

The Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G was first launched in the Indonesian market a couple of days back and is now making its debut in Europe. It features a 6.67-inch AMOLED display offering a Full HD+ screen resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels and a refresh rate of 120Hz, similar to other Note 12 series smartphones.

Under the hood, the phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G processor, coupled with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. It comes with support for dual SIM, 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5.1, GPS, NFC, an IR blaster, and a side-facing fingerprint scanner for added security.

In the camera department, there’s a 108-megapixel primary camera sensor, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, a 5-megapixel macro lens, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. On the front side, the phone features a 16-megapixel sensor for taking selfies and video calling. It runs the Android 12 OS with MIUI 13 and is powered by a 5,000mAh battery with 67W fast charging support.

On the other hand, the Redmi Note 12S smartphone is making its debut with the launch in the European market. It features a 6.43-inch AMOLED display with Full HD+ screen resolution and a smooth 90Hz refresh rate.

Under the hood, the smartphone is powered by the MediaTek Helio G96 chipset, paired with up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. In the camera department, there’s a 108-megapixel primary sensor, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 2-megapixel macro sensor. On the front side, it features a 16-megapixel snapper for taking selfies and video calling.

Unlike the Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G, the Redmi Note 12S runs the Android 13 operating system out-of-the-box with the company’s own MIUI 14 custom user interface. The device is powered by a 5,000mAh battery and comes with support for 67W fast charging.

The post Redmi Note 12S and Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G smartphones launched in Europe appeared first on Gizmochina.

Recently, Xiaomi unveiled the 4G version of the Redmi Note 12 Pro. This device is nothing but a repacked Redmi Note 10 Pro (aka Redmi Note 10 Pro Max).

The phone has been re-released in the market two years after its initial release. Thankfully, the company has made some changes to the handset instead of re-launching the exact same product.

The Redmi Note 12 Pro not only arrives with a new design but also brings a couple of new features. Thus, it is sort of a better product than the already good Redmi Note 10 Pro.

Let’s check out what these new features are and how they make this device unique in its price segment.

Revamped Design

The first thing you will notice is that despite being a rebranded Redmi Note 10, the Redmi Note 12 Pro does not look like one. As it happens, the phone inherits its design from the Redmi Note 11 series.

You may be wondering why it has a Redmi Note 11 design when it is actually called Redmi Note 12 Pro. Because the handset was initially planned to release as Redmi Note 11 Pro 2023.

Personally, I prefer the original Redmi Note 10 Pro design. However, the market seems to like the flat frame design popularised by the iPhones.

Lastly, the smartphone arrives in three colors (black, blue, white, and blue gradient) but it does not come in bronze.

Upgraded Display

The Redmi Note 10 Pro had the best display in its price segment when it was released. Even after two years, its screen is still better than most of the competitors.

Xiaomi has upgraded this panel further by adding support for Dolby Vision. Thus, Redmi Note 12 Pro is currently the only smartphone in the sub-$250 price segment with this feature.

Along with Dolby Atmos-supported dual stereo speakers, users get a well-rounded multimedia experience, especially on Netflix.

For the unaware, the 6.67-inch centered punch-hole AMOLED display offers a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels (FHD+), a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 1200 nits peak brightness level.

Faster Charging

The Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G comes with 67W fast wired charging support instead of 33W. Despite an increase in charging speed, it retains a 5,000mAh battery, which is only 20mAh smaller than the cell inside the Redmi Note 10 Pro.

Like other Chinese OEMs, Xiaomi also bundles the required fast charger in the box. So you don’t have to shell out extra cash like you have to do with Samsung and Apple smartphones.

A Better Redmi Note 10 Pro

All in all, the Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G is a better product than the original Redmi Note 10 Pro, thanks to the aforementioned changes. But it is still limited to 4G connectivity as it is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 732 chipset.

Thus, if the phone is available in your region and you don’t care about 5G, then the Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G should be on your shopping list.

Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi has just announced the Redmi Note 12 (4G), Note 12 5G, Note 12 Pro, and Note 12 Pro+ 5G for the global market. The press release available on Mi.com mentions all the details about these smartphones. It also contains a link (still accessible while writing the post) to the product pages of these smartphones. Surprisingly, the link also includes press renders of two unannounced smartphones, namely, the Redmi Note 12S and Redmi Note 12 Pro (4G). Both smartphones are expected to go official in the coming weeks.

Redmi Note 12S renders

The Redmi Note 12S renders show that it will come in black, blue, and green colors. It is equipped with a punch-hole screen, a side-mounted fingerprint reader, and a 108-megapixel triple camera unit on the back.

The Redmi Note 12S rumors have claimed that it will be a rebranded version of the Note 11S from last year. However, the Note 12S will offer faster charging solution, but lack the depth sensor. Hence, it is expected to feature a 6.43-inch AMOLED FHD+ 90Hz screen, a 16-megapixel selfie camera, a 108-megapixel (main) + 8-megapixel (ultra-wide) + 2-megapixel (macro) triple camera unit, Helio G96, 8 GB of LPDDR4x RAM, 128 GB of UFS 2.2 storage, and a 5,000mAh battery with 67W fast charging.

Redmi Note 12 Pro (4G) renders

As can be seen in the above renders, the Redmi Note 12 Pro (4G) will be available in black, white, blue, and gradient blue shades. In terms of design, the device can be seen sporting a punch-hole display, a side-facing fingerprint scanner, and a Xiaomi 12-series-like camera unit with a 108-megapixel primary snapper.

Rumours surrounding it have claimed that it will be rebranded version of the Redmi Note 10 Pro (global). Hence, it is expected to come with specs like a 6.67-inch AMOLED FHD+ 120Hz display, Snapdragon 732G, 8 GB of LPDDR4x RAM, 128 GB of UFS 2.2 storage, a 5,020mAh battery, a 16-megapixel front camera, and a 108-megapixel (main) + 8-megapixel (ultra-wide) + 5-megapixel (macro)  + 2-megapixel (depth) quad-camera system.

The post Xiaomi Leaks Redmi Note 12S, Note 12 Pro 4G Renders Before Official Announcement appeared first on Gizmochina.

Redmi is gearing up to launch two new devices in the global markets soon. The first is the Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G and the other one is the Note 11 Pro 2023. Both of these devices have appeared on multiple certification databases revealing their model numbers and confirming their monikers.

However, what’s interesting is that both of them actually have the same model number, which means that these are likely the same devices that will be launching under different names depending on the region. Recently, the Redmi Note 12 Pro (4G) appeared on NBTC certification, while the Redmi Note 11 Pro appeared on the TDRA certification. The similarity was pointed out by tipster Mukul Sharma.

As of now, information from certifications and leaks indicates that both of these handsets will have 8 GB RAM, a Full HD+ display, and Snapdragon 732G mobile platform. It might have the MIUI 13-based Android 13 OS preinstalled.

Rumors also state that these devices could ultimately be a rebadged Redmi Note 10 Pro with a new exterior shell. To recall, the Redmi Note 10 Pro comes with a 6.67-inch AMOLED FHD+ 120Hz display, an SD732G chip, 8 GB of LPDDR4x RAM, 128 GB of UFS 2.2 storage, and a 5,020mAh battery that supports 33W charging. It has a 16-megapixel selfie camera and 108-megapixel quad cameras for photography.

With the device getting multiple certifications, we are likely to see its global launch soon.

The post Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G & Note 11 Pro 2023 likely the same device, suggests NBTC & TRDA certification appeared first on Gizmochina.

Redmi has started teasing the arrival of the Redmi Note 12 series for the global market. Recent certifications have revealed that at least the Redmi Note 12 5G and Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G will be heading to the global markets soon. The lineup is also expected to include a couple of other models. One of them appears to be the Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G, which has appeared in the IMEI database.

In October, a Xiaomi device with a 2209116AG model number and the marketing name “Redmi Note 11 Pro 2023” surfaced in the IMEI database. It was also spotted on multiple platforms, such as Google Play Console, Geekbench, the FCC, the EEC, and SIRM (Malaysia). Xiaomiui has spotted the same device again in the IMEI database. This time, its name has been changed to the “Redmi Note 12 Pro.”

Reports suggest that the Redmi Note 12 Pro could be similar to the Redmi Note 10 Pro. Hence, there is a possibility that it may look like other Note 12 devices, but its internals could be similar to the Note 10 Pro.

The Redmi Note 10 Pro’s shortened model number is K6 and has the “sweet_global” codename. The publication revealed that the Redmi Note 12 Pro’s shortened model number is K6A, and it has the “sweet_k6a_global” codename. Hence, it appears that the Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G may borrow most of its specs from the Note 10 Pro.

The different certifications of the Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G have revealed that it is equipped with a Full HD+ display, the Snapdragon 732G mobile platform, and 8 GB of RAM. It may come preloaded with the MIUI 13-based Android 13 OS.

To recall, the Redmi Note 10 Pro features a 6.67-inch AMOLED FHD+ 120Hz display, a SD732G chip, 8 GB of LPDDR4x RAM, 128 GB of UFS 2.2 storage, and a 5,020mAh battery with 33W charging. For photography, it has a 16-megapixel selfie camera and 108-megapixel quad cameras.

India is a major market for Redmi phones. However, it is unclear whether the Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G will be released in India.
