Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus vs Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus: What’s the better pick for you?

Sean — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 12:51:25 +0000

The Redmi Note series has been an immensely popular lineup from Xiaomi. These mid range devices have always been among the highest selling devices from the brand. The last two iterations that were released include the latest Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus and the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus, which came before it. But which one is a better deal for you now? What’s the better pick? Let’s find out in this comparison.

Note 13 Pro+ vs Note 12 Pro+: Newer & Faster

Newer never always means better, but the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ has a noticeable edge over its predecessor. It is equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Ultra SoC, while the Note 12 Pro+ features the Dimensity 1080 chipset (AKA Dimensity 7050). The Dimensity 7200 Ultra scored 739,097 on AnTuTu, which is higher than the Dimensity 1080’s 527,053 score on the same platform. Although, the storage configuration (up to 12GB + 512GB) and battery specs (5,000mAh with 120W wired fast charging) is the same on both phones.

Slight visual makeover

Between the two generations, not a lot has changed in terms of design. The camera placement and arrangement are almost identical, but there are slight differences overall. Redmi’s older Note 12 Pro+ only came with a glass body variant. On the other hand, the Note 13 Pro+ follows the recent trend of including a glass and eco-leather rear design. There is also a dual tone color scheme on the newer model.

Which one has a better screen and cameras?

Unlike the processor and design elements, there aren’t a lot of major changes between the two devices. Both models sport a tall 6.67-inch display that offers FHD+ resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision, and HDR10+. The only noticeable differences are the AMOLED screen on the Note 13 series and OLED on the Note 12 lineup along with a brighter screen on the newer phone.

The similarities are reflected in the photography department as well. Both phones features a 200-megapixel triple camera setup on the rear, and a 16-megapixel selfie shooter on the front. The primary sensor is a Samsung ISOCELL HPX primary camera with OIS on the Note 12 Pro+, while the Note 13 Pro+ offers a Samsung ISOCELL HP3 sensor with OIS and EIS. In other words, there isn’t a major upgrade or difference between the two.

Pricing: What’s more worth it for you?

When the two options presented to you are so similar, the pricing is typically a tie breaker. As of right now, the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ starts from 31,999 INR. Although, it can go down to 30,399 INR with an exchange offer. There is even a bank discount of up to 2,500 on ICICI, HDFC, and SBI credit cards, which lowers its effective price to just 29,499 INR. On the other hand, the Note 12 Pro+ starts at 27,499 INR, but there’s a 2,500 INR Credit and Debit card discount on certain banks and even an exchange deal worth 1,500 INR. So this makes it more affordable.

The Redmi Note 13 Pro+ should be the easier option to recommend since its newer, faster, and will get longer software support, which is great since HyperOS is out. But if you’re on a strict budget of under 25,000 INR, then the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ is an option that you won’t regret. Apart from the chipset, there is nothing major that you’ll miss out between the two generations.

Redmi Note 12 Pro is the best smartphone for content consumption under ₹30000

Sudarshan Ravichandran — Wed, 26 Apr 2023 10:57:20 +0000

Xiaomi unveiled the Redmi Note 12 series in China in late October. The very same models made their way to global markets starting in January.

India was the first international market where the lineup got released. The three phones, namely Redmi Note 12, Redmi Note 12 Pro, and Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus have been on sale in the country for over three months now.

Redmi Notes are now more expensive than ever

For the first time ever, the Redmi Note series not only breached the ₹25000 price segment but also the ₹30000 price category in the region. The two Pro variants have essentially replaced the Xiaomi ‘i’ series handsets, which did not get a successor this year.

The Xiaomi ‘i’ series used to be rebranded Chinese Redmi Note models for India. But this time, the company decided to bring the phones with their original branding, which explains the price hike.

For the uninitiated, the Chinese Redmi Note series offers a better set of features than the international variants. But these handsets are still mid-rangers and they excel in some departments more than others in the segment.

Our Redmi Note 12 series review

We already reviewed the Redmi Note 12 Pro when it was released in China, followed by the Redmi Note 12 when it debuted in India.

Months later, I got access to a Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus unit, courtesy of Xiaomi India. After using it for a while, I could say that it is probably the best device for content consumption in its price segment.

The Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus is the same as the Redmi Note 12 Pro, except for the primary camera and charging speed. Therefore, whatever I mention in this article is applicable to both smartphones, unless otherwise specified.

Redmi Note 12 Pro series display specs

The Redmi Note 12 Pro devices sport a 6.67-inch centered punch-hole 10-bit OLED display. The panel offers a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels (FHD+), a 394 PPI, and a 5000000:1 contrast ratio.

The screen has a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz and it can also dynamically switch to 30Hz, 60Hz, and 90Hz depending on what’s being shown. Further, its touch sampling rate and brightness level can reach up to 240Hz and 900 nits, respectively.

Apart from the DCI-P3 color gamut, the display also supports HDR10+ and Dolby Vision content. Finally, the panel is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The phones are also Widevine L1-certified.

The display on the Redmi Note 12 Pro series is as good as it sounds. It is complemented by a good set of dual stereo speakers with support for Dolby Atmos.

These two products are some of the fewer handsets on the market in this price category with the complete Dolby package (Vision and Atmos). The other smartphones are Xiaomi’s older models.

Redmi Note 12 Pro series is built for content consumption

Thanks to the aforementioned specs of display and speakers, I loved consuming content on this phone. I never had such a good experience watching TV series and movies on a sub-30K smartphone.

I started binge-watching the first four seasons of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel on Amazon Prime Video before the premiere of the season 5. Whenever I had no access to the television, I came back to the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus all the time.

I preferred it over OnePlus Nord 2T, which costs about the same (₹28999) and is a prime competitor if you ask me. However, I felt the Nord to be more comfortable to hold for a longer period of time.

[envira-gallery id=’532912′]

Also, the display on the Redmi is not very bright outdoors as compared to the competition. But the HDR and the audio quality make up for this shortcoming.

The speakers are loud and the vocals are clear. I didn’t feel like using earphones. The media experience is almost as good as on flagships. The speakers only fall behind in high frequencies and bass output.

Unlike most other devices in this segment, the Redmi Note 12 Pro series also comes with a 3.5mm headphone jack. So when your earbuds are out of battery, you can always plug in a set of wired earphones.

Redmi Note 12 Pro series is not aimed at gaming

Unfortunately, I cannot call this product the best multimedia smartphone under ₹30000 since it falls behind in gaming.

I only play Pokemon Unite, a mobile title that is not resource hungry. The MediaTek Dimensity 1080 chip inside the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus can run it well but the phone gets warmer than OnePlus Nord 2T (Dimensity 1300) and even the much cheaper iQOO Z7 (Dimensity 920), which I reviewed recently.

The game is playable but I prefer the other two handsets. The standard Redmi Note 12 Pro with the same chipset also offers a similar gaming performance.

Good enough battery performance but not-so-good cameras

Further, the battery life on the device is fine. You can easily get a day or more depending on your usage. The charging speed is quick too as it supports 120W fast wired charging. The 5000mAh battery takes about 30 minutes to charge fully from 20%.

So I didn’t have to worry about battery during my binge-watching sessions. A small break would be enough to charge the battery adequately or even fully if the break was longer. On the regular Redmi Note 12 Pro, the charging speed is slower at 67W.

As far as cameras are concerned, they are pretty average on the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus. The 50MP Sony IMX766 sensor on the OnePlus Nord 2T (review) gives better results than the 200MP Samsung HPX sensor.

[envira-gallery id=’532910′]

Practically, I didn’t see any use for the 200MP camera. I did enjoy the ‘200MP mode’ for zooming purposes when I first started using the phone. But the novelty soon wore off.

The camera produces good results only when there is ample light, especially when the sun is out. The picture quality degrades even with a cloudy sky, let alone evenings and nights.

[envira-gallery id=’532911′]

So if you really want a good zoom camera, then the only options out there are expensive flagship smartphones.

Another thing I didn’t like is haptics. The Nord 2T and even the older similarly priced Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G have better haptics. Also, the device still boots Android 12 though the software is MIUI 14.

Is Redmi Note 12 Pro series worth buying?

For me, the new Redmi Note Pro models are nothing more than a great content consumption machine. I am not saying the phones are bad in other aspects. It’s just that competitors like OnePlus Nord 2T, an almost-year-old handset, offer a better value.

The Redmi Note 11 Pro series was introduced at ₹17999 in India. On the other hand, the Redmi Note 12 Pro lineup starts at ₹24999. That’s an approximate price hike of 39%.

So the question arises whether the Redmi Note 12 Pro series is worth its asking price. The answer is both yes and no.

If your budget is strictly ₹25000, I can’t think of any reasons not to recommend the standard Pro variant. But if you could spend up to ₹30000 or a bit more, I would suggest you have a look at other options, especially the OnePlus Nord 2T.

The Redmi Note series used to cost ₹10000 when it was first released in India. For a long while, the devices have been best-sellers in the sub-₹20000 price segment.

With the new increased price, the lineup is no longer a value-for-money proposition as it used to till the last generation. However, the ‘Redmi Note’ is still a stronger brand name than others and it does excel in specific aspects as discussed above.

But is this enough for Xiaomi to push sales? Only time will tell.

Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G Series Microsite Appears on Flipkart Before Launch

Anvinraj Valiyathara — Wed, 21 Dec 2022 04:06:08 +0000

The Redmi Note 12 5G, Note 12 Pro 5G, and Note 12 Pro+ 5G are all set to launch on Jan. 5 in India. Apart from Xiaomi India’s website, the Redmi phones have been exclusively available on Amazon India. The Note 12 5G’s landing page is now live on Amazon. However, the landing page for Pro models are not available on the retailer site. Instead, the Note 12 Pro models’ microsite is now live on Flipkart.

Flipkart sold the Redmi Note series until the Redmi Note 7 series, which debuted in 2019. After that, Amazon started exclusively offering Redmi Note models with the Redmi Note 8 lineup. With Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G series, the Redmi Note series is now returning to Flipkart’s smartphone portfolio.

As it is known through the Chinese launch, the Note 12 Pro and Note 12 Pro+ will offer identical specs and differ in the two departments, such as the main camera and fast charging support.

India May Get the Chinese Redmi Note 12 Pro+

Sudarshan Ravichandran — Tue, 13 Dec 2022 08:41:15 +0000

Xiaomi is gearing up to launch the Redmi Note 12 series in India. Yesterday, the company revealed that the new lineup will debut in the country on January 5. It also disclosed that the high-end model called Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus will sport a 200MP camera.

Today, the firm shared a video teasing the design of the said phone. Going by the clip, it seems like the handset heading to India could be the same as the one sold in China.

Previously, the Chinese Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus for India was mentioned in the MIUI codebase as Xiaomi 12i HyperCharge. Apparently, it was changed to Redmi Note 12 Pro+ a few days back.

So this will be the first time after a long while a Chinese Redmi Note will be released in India bearing its original branding. For the unaware, some of the Chinese Redmi Notes, such as Redmi Note 11T Pro, Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus, and Redmi Note 9 Pro were introduced in India as Redmi K50i, Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge, and Mi 10i, respectively.

Though it’s not confirmed by Xiaomi yet, the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ could be accompanied by Redmi Note 12 Pro and Redmi Note 12. At the moment, we are not sure if the other two models will be identical to the phones sold with the same names in China.

As per certifications, there will be a 4G variant of the Redmi Note 12 Pro as well. What’s interesting is that it will be a rebranded Redmi Note 10 Pro from 2021. It is not sure if this device will be launched in India.

We are looking forward to learning more about the Redmi Note 12 series for global markets in the coming days.
