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words, in less than 4 months on the market, Xiaomi has delivered 2 Android updates for the phone by debuting it with an outdated version of Android.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.

A man has reportedly had his Redmi Note 12 Pro smartphone catch fire inside his shirt pocket. This is a seemingly rare event going by significant improvements OEMs had made on smartphones. However, it is coming on the heels of a rather disturbing news of an alleged Redmi Note 5 Pro explosion in India that led to the tragic demise of an 8-year-old girl.

The Indian man named Naveen Dahiya purchased his Redmi Note 12 Pro in February 2023. The phone was inside his shirt pocket on April 11 when he noticed smoke emanating from the device. He then felt a burning sensation and discovered the phone was on fire. He was lucky enough to remove the device from his pocket before it could do any damage to his skin.

Unwanted fireworks: Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 12 Pro unit allegedly goes up in flame in India after tragic Redmi Note 5 Pro incident

It is unclear what could have triggered the fire on the Redmi Note 12 Pro since it was not being charged at the time. The phone was subsequently completely destroyed by the fire. Dahiya was not harmed as he was able to throw the phone on the ground while it was burning. He thereafter contacted Redmi customer service but got a sub-par response from them. The user insists that if he does not get a satisfactory response from Redmi, he will take legal action against the company.

It is expected that Redmi comes up with an official response to this incident amidst fears that several other units may be having a similar risk of catching fire. It will need to undertake an investigation on the issue to safeguard the safety of Redmi Note 12 Pro users.

This incident serves as a reminder to users that smartphones could become dangerous when they malfunction. Users are therefore expected to take precautions always to prevent potential fire incidents. Part of the advice is not to overcharge the smartphone or leave them in extremely hot environments.

The post Redmi Note 12 Pro reportedly catches fire inside an Indian man’s pocket appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

However, the test reveals a disappointing fact. Apparently, both of these devices will launch with Android 12-based operating systems rather than the latest Android 13 OS.

With the standard promise of 3 years of major updates, these phones will make it to Android 15. They will be supported for an additional year when it comes to security updates. Let’s take a look at the features of these devices.

Redmi Note 12 Pro Series Specifications

Xiaomi-backed Redmi is all set to launch its latest Redmi Note 12 series smartphones in the Indian market on 5th January, which includes three devices — Redmi Note 12 5G, Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G, and Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G.

Ahead of the official launch in the coming days, the company has started teasing some of the key features and specifications of the device, and this time, the company has revealed its camera details.

The teaser confirms that the Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G smartphone will come with a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 primary camera sensor along with support for Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) in the triple-camera setup.

The company’s executives claim that the primary camera sensor of the smartphone will help “capture dynamic and appealing images through a perfect combination of software and hardware tools.” Xiaomi also claims that it will be one of the best in the segment when it comes to color reproduction.

Prior to this, the company already confirmed that the phone would come with an AMOLED display with support for a 120Hz refresh rate which can be reduced to as low as 30Hz, and it also comes with support for Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision.

Last week, Xiaomi teased the upcoming launch of the Redmi Note 12 Pro series in India. The series debuted around the end of October in China, and it is scheduled for an Indian debut on January 5. Ahead of the launch, the brand has confirmed some key specs of the Indian variant of the Redmi 12 Pro via a new teaser. Let’s check out these details.

Redmi Note 12 Pro Indian variant

Starting off, the teaser reveals that the Note 12 Pro has a 50MP primary camera. This camera comes with optical image stabilization (OIS). Our review team has already tested the OIS performance of the Note 12 Pro, and it is, to put it bluntly, quite sub-par. Our team recorded a video while walking at a brisk pace and filming from the primary camera. The phone managed to smooth out the small movements, however, any significant jerks while walking are quite apparent in the video. You can check out our full review to know more about the camera system and the smartphone.

Next up, the teaser confirms that the AMOLED display on the smartphone will have a 120Hz refresh rate, which can go down as much as 30Hz. The panel is capable of producing 1 Billion+ colors and comes with Dolby ATMOS and Dolby Vision support.

The brand also confirms that the chipset inside the smartphone is the MediaTek Dimensity 1080, which is the same SoC used in the Chinese variant, as well as competitors like the Realme 10 Pro series. The last bit of information is that the battery will take 15 minutes to provide a full day’s worth of charge. From these specs, it is quite apparent that the device coming to India is the same as the Chinese variants. So, let’s take a look at the expected spec sheet.

The post Black Friday Super Deal: $1 for Redmi Note 12 Pro [UPDATE: More Details] appeared first on Gizmochina.

Realme 10 Pro and Pro Plus officially debuted in the Chinese market not only with amazing specifications but with very good prices as well. The Realme 10 Pro is definitely a perfect competitor of the Redmi Note 12 Pro, one of the potential best-seller of the next months. With Black Friday incoming, a lot of people are looking for a new phone with amazing value for money, and choosing between these two devices is not easy if we consider both their specifications and their prices. Here is a comparison between the main specifications of the Redmi Note 12 Pro and the Realme 10 Pro that will tell you which device suit your needs the most, according to your actual needs.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro vs Realme 10 Pro

Design

I like the design of the Realme 10 Pro very much due to its minimalistic look. It does not have a camera island, but it replaces it with two small and circular camera modules placed directly in the rear cover and with a flash LED on the right. Given that there are only two cameras on the rear side, it looks very elegant and minimalistic. Further, it has flat borders just like the devices from the latest iPhone lineups. However, the Redmi Note 12 Pro is still a beautiful phone, especially if we consider its original color options such as the violet one. Further, it is splash resistant and dust resistant with the IP53 certification, so it is interesting even in terms of build quality.

Display

If you want the most advanced display, you must choose the Redmi Note 12 Pro without thinking twice. In this duo, it is the only one with an OLED display, and this is already enough to let you prefer this device instead of the Realme 10 Pro. But besides that, it is also a great panel when it comes to the rest of the specifications. It is a display with a diagonal of 6.67 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, one billion colors, a 120 Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ certification, a peak brightness of 900 nits, and an under-display fingerprint reader. Unfortunately, the Realme 10 Pro has an inferior IPS panel. It is a display with a diagonal of 6.72 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 680 nits.

Specs & Software

The most powerful hardware department belongs to the Redmi Note 12 Pro. It has a better Dimensity 1080 chipset by Mediatek, built with a 6 nm production process and sporting an octa-core architecture. The SoC is composed of two Cortex A78 performance cores running at a maximum frequency of 2.6 GHz, six Cortex A55 efficiency cores running at 2 GHz, and a Mali G68 MC4 GPU. The phone offers up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of native storage. The Realme 10 Pro has an inferior Snapdragon 695 5G chipset by Qualcomm running at a max frequency of 2.2 GHz alongside up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of native storage. But the Realme 10 Pro has two important advantages: the presence of a micro SD slot and Android 13 out of the box instead of Android 12.

Camera

The Redmi Note 12 Pro sports a superior camera setup: it is composed of a 50 MP main camera with OIS, an 8 MP ultrawide shooter, and a 2 MP macro lens. The Realme 10 Pro has just two cameras on the rear side: a 108 MP main sensor without OIS and a 2 MP macro lens.

Battery

The battery capacities of these two handsets are exactly the same: 5000 mAh. But the Redmi Note 12 Pro provides a longer battery life thanks to the presence of more efficient components, especially the OLED display. Further, it charges quicker thanks to 67W fast charging. The 5000 mAh battery of the Realme 10 Pro supports 33W fast charging.

Price

The starting price of the Redmi Note 12 Pro roughly translates into $269 or €269, while the Realme 10 Pro starts from €220 or $220. The Redmi wins the comparison due to its better display, cameras, and faster charging.

The post Redmi Note 12 Pro vs Realme 10 Pro: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

Last month, Redmi debuted the Note 12 series smartphones in China. The series consists of the vanilla Redmi Note 12, the Redmi Note 12 Pro, and the Redmi Note 12 Pro+. Earlier this month, the Note 12 Pro+ 5G global variant appeared in the FCC database hinting at an upcoming worldwide launch. Now, tipster Mukul Sharma has shared the expected global launch timeline of the series.

According to a recent tweet by Sharma, serial production of the Redmi Note 12 series has begun in several Asian and European regions. The tipster adds that we can expect the devices to launch in these markets in December or early next year. We can expect these devices to launch with different monikers in some markets. For instance, a report claims that the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G will debut in India as Xiaomi 12i HyperCharge.

Redmi Note 12 Pro Series Specifications

The Redmi Note 12 Pro series smartphones come with a 6.67-inch centered punch-hole OLED display with a resolution of 2,400 x 1,080 pixels (FHD+), a refresh rate of 120Hz, a touch sampling rate of 240Hz, a 1920Hz PWM dimming, and a 16,000 level dimming. The 20:9 panel has a 5,000,000:1 contrast ratio, a 10-bit color depth, a peak brightness level of 900 nits, HDR10+, HDR10, and Dolby Vision support.

A MediaTek Dimensity 1080 SoC with LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 2.2 storage powers the phones. The 3,000mm2 VC cooling system found in the Pro Plus is larger than the 2,000mm2 graphene-based cooling system found in the standard Pro edition. Both devices offer a 5,000mAh battery with 67W and 120W fast charging for the Pro and Pro+ models, respectively.

For optics, the Pro has a 50MP Sony IMX766 primary camera with OIS. The Pro Plus, on the other hand, boasts a 200MP Samsung ISOCELL HPX main camera with 1/1.4-inch sensor size. The 8MP ultra-wide camera and 2MP macro camera on both devices, however, are identical. They both have 16MP front cameras.

Both devices have a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, an IR blaster, an x-axis linear vibration motor, dual stereo speakers, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Connectivity options include dual SIM, 5G, WiFi 6, GNSS, NFC, and USB Type-C.

The post Redmi Note 12 Series Production Begins in Asia & Europe, Global Launch Timeline Tipped appeared first on Gizmochina.

As you know, in China, Redmi has split the Note series into two versions in order to make the phone choice easier for users. The one with a T in its name is biased for more powerful performance. For example, the Note 11T Pro has the strongest SOC of any mid-range phone. Those without a T in their name focuses on being a well-balanced phone. For example, the Note 11 Pro is stronger than the 11T Pro in all aspects, except performance. Today we have the Redmi Note 12 Pro, so don’t expect too much from its performance this time, but let’s look at what else is interesting.

The Note 12 Pro is a continuation of the previous generation’s design. The straight screen, straight back panel with a flat frame, feels and looks very much like the Note 11T Pro, as the lens module is basically an enlarged version of the Note 11T Pro. We got the purple version because I wanted to show you the new colorway. This version has a light spot on the back panel, so there should be a lot of girls who will like this color.

But I still recommend white, it looks purer. The side is still the power fingerprint two-in-one button. The top has a headphone jack, IR emitter, and NFC, but the SIM card slot does not support TF card expansion. The 187g plus the less than 8mm body makes the Note 12 Pro feel not as heavy in your hand as you might expect. I would give the Note 12 Pro a good rating for its design, which is good enough for a device priced at $240.

This time the screen looks no different from the Note 11 Pro, but in fact there are still some small upgrades. 12 Pro’s screen uses a flexible OLED screen, the most obvious advantage is that the lower bezel is narrower. From the front, it already looks more beautiful than many $400+ phones. There is no problem with the screen quality, which is still diamond-like pixels. The resolution is 1080P with a 120Hz refresh rate. And it uses a 1920Hz PWM dimming at low brightness and support Dolby Vision, with peak brightness of 900 nits. Overall, the quality of this screen is superb in the same price range.

Redmi Note 12 Pro – Specs & Hardware

As I said at the beginning, the Note 12 Pro’s performance is on the weaker side. It uses the Dimensity 1080, MediaTek’s latest mid-range chip. Both Antutu and 3DMark test, all kinds of scores are telling us that it is almost no different from the previous gen Dimensity 920. So what exactly is the level of performance of this chip, when you come to see the performance of each game frame rate, you will know. Of course, for the cell phone PUBG is now not a big problem. Just follow the usual test. Then there’s Genshin Impact, which averages fps less than 40. Look at this frame rate curve, it’s like a roller coaster, not a good performance. If you lock the frame rate at 30fps, you should be able to run more stable. If you want a cheap phone that can run Genshin smoothly, I would recommend buying a Dimensity 8100 phone, such as the Note 11T Pro.

Redmi Note 12 Pro – Camera Review

The camera is one of the main focuses of the Note 12 Pro upgrade. While the Pro version doesn’t use the latest 200MP main camera, our old friend the IMX 766 is not bad, after all it is also used in OPPO’s flagship phones. Let’s take a look at the filters and Art frames that Redmi is focusing on. 7 new film filters have been added to the Note 12 series, all of which add noise to photos while changing the color tendency. Although I’m not a fan of film photography, there are some scenes that would look great using these filters. Especially with the new Art frame, people who like photography will love it.

Because the main camera has added OIS this time, the sensor area has also become larger, so the photos in dark light are better than the previous one. Especially the 2x is not blurred at night due to handshake anymore, even the 5x, the photos can be quite usable. The night mode is also more interesting this time, it doesn’t improve the dynamic range, but controls the highlights and makes the dark parts darker. This will make some night scenes look more like they were taken at night, with less noise, which looks good. But some scenes need brighter highlights and it lowers the exposure, such as a neon box, which doesn’t look as good as Auto mode. And often the color temperature is cool, so if you want to take a good photo at night with the Note 12 Pro, you need a little experience and skill.

Macro camera performance is quite poor, not recommended for frequent use.

The video recording part is a little better than the Note 11 Pro. Because the video stability will be a little better with the addition of OIS. But compared to other phones with EIS is still not stable enough. The highest shooting specs are 4K 30fps for the main camera and 1080P 30fps for the ultra-wide camera, which is unchanged from the Note 11 Pro.

Check out the full sized camera samples from the Redmi Note 12 Pro here.

Redmi Note 12 Pro – Battery & Charging

The charging power of the Pro version is still 67w and the battery is 5000mAh. It is 20g lighter than the 11 Pro and the battery is only 160mAh smaller, which I think is worth it. The large battery plus the poor performance means that its battery life must be very long-lasting. The phone consumes 5% for Tiktok and 1080P video, 4% for PUBG and 7% for Genshin. A little improvement over 11 Pro+.

Honestly, I love phones like the Note 12 Pro. Getting all aspects right is more value for most people. Because as long as you don’t play large 3D games on your phone, this is the phone for you. And at only 240 bucks, it’s affordable to change your phone even once a year. Every year with a new phone, how cool is that.

The entire Redmi Note 12 series, including the Redmi Note 12 Pro is available on Giztop right now.

The post Here’s how many Redmi Note 12 series units were sold in its first sale appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi announced the Redmi Note 12 series a few days ago and with it, we have got four new value for money devices. The four devices are targeted at different price segments and offers users the flexibility of choosing the best model that suits their needs. The Redmi Note 12 series lineup consists of a vanilla Redmi Note 12, a more powerful Redmi Note 12 Pro, a premium Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus, and also a special Redmi Note 12 Explorer Edition. We have covered the entire Redmi Note 12 lineup in a previous comparison and we’ve also compared how the new vanilla Redmi Note 12 fares against its predecessor. But in this article, let’s take a closer look at how the Redmi Note 12 Pro compares against the Redmi Note 11 Pro model.

The Redmi Note 12 Pro comes with a new Dimensity 1080 chipset as compared to the Dimensity 920 chip found on the Redmi Note 11 Pro model in China. The new model is both lighter and thinner than its predecessor, making it easier for users to hold the device, even with one hand. The phone also upgrades the memory configuration, offering up to 12GB of RAM onboard.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro

Design

Similar to how the vanilla Redmi Note 12 model cleared up the clutter at the back with just two cameras, the Redmi Note 12 Pro too follows suit with a simple arrangement of its triple camera setup. In contrast, the Redmi Note 11 Pro featured a complex array of sensors at the back in its rectangular camera module. There’s no doubt that the new design looks a lot better and refined than its predecessor.

In terms of dimensions, the Redmi Note 12 Pro is thinner at 7.9mm vs 8.3 mm on the Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G model. The new model also reduces the weight to 187 grams. Notably, the Note 12 is both smaller and narrower, making it more compact than its predecessor.

Both the models are IP53 certified, so they are dust and splash resistant. The Redmi Note 12 Pro comes in Black, Blue White, and a special Violet color option while the Redmi Note 11 Pro came in Mysterious Black, Forest Green, Timeless Purple, and Milky Way Blue color options.

Display

The Redmi Note 12 Pro model features with a 6.67-inch OLED panel featuring 2400 x 1080p resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and 900 nits HBM brightness. In comparison, the older model comes with a same sized 6.67-inch AMOLED panel featuring 2400 x 1080p resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. Surprisingly, the older model has a brighter display panel at 1200 nits when compared to the new Note 12 Pro.

However, note that the Redmi Note 12 Pro supports HDR10+ certification.

Specs & Software

The Redmi Note 12 Pro comes with the relatively powerful MediaTek Dimensity 1080 processor clocked at 2.6GHz. In comparison, the Redmi Note 11 Pro came with the the Dimensity 920 processor clocked at 2.5GHz. Both these chips support 5G networks and should offer pretty good performance for its price segment.

Both the models offer start at 6GB RAM and 128GB of ROM and but only the new Redmi Note 12 Pro offers up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The older Redmi Note 11 Pro maxes out at 8GB RAM.

The Redmi Note 12 Pro comes with Android 12 out of the box with MIUI 13. In comparison, the Redmi Note 11 Pro features Android 11 based MIUI 12.5 on top.

Camera

Redmi has given up the high resolution 108MP sensor on the new Redmi Note 12 Pro model. So it comes with a smaller 50MP primary camera with f/1.9 aperture along with the same two secondary sensors, 8MP f/1.9 ultra wide shooter, and a 2MP macro shooter found on its predecessor. To be fair, the downgrade from the 108MP sensor on the Redmi Note 11 Pro might not result in any major difference in the camera quality.

On the front, Redmi has not given any upgrades to the new model. So both the phones feature the same 16MP shooter for selfies and video calls.

Battery

Like the camera department, there are some slight changes in the battery department too on the new model. The Redmi Note 12 Pro comes with a 5000mAh battery with 67W fast charging support. This battery capacity is slightly lower than the 5160mAh capacity found on the Note 11 Pro model. Notably, the charging speed remains the same as the older model.

Price

The Redmi Note 12 Pro model is available in the Chinese market with an official starting price tag of around €240 or $240, but internationally it will sold at a higher price tag. In comparison, the Redmi Note 11 Pro is available for around $240 on global retailers like Giztop.

The post Redmi Note 12 Pro vs Redmi Note 11 Pro – What’s Changed? appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi launched the new Redmi Note 12 Series in China with amazing specifications. It is composed of four variants: Redmi Note 12, Redmi Note 12 Pro, Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus, and Redmi Note 12 Explorer Edition, with the latter being just a Pro Plus with 210W fast charging. A lot of people do not know which one to choose after the announcement and this article is here to clear all of their doubts: here is a comparison between the Redmi Note 12, the Pro and the Pro Plus.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus

Design

The best design in my opinion belongs to the Redmi Note 12 Pro, specifically in the pink color variant. But the vanilla version is actually thinner, so it is easier to use with one hand. All of these phones are not built with premium materials but they come with the good build quality and the IP53 certification making them dust resistant and splash resistant.

Display

The Pro and the Pro Plus variant are equipped with the same display, better than the one found on the vanilla version. it is an OLED panel able to show up to one billion colors with a diagonal of 6.67 inches, a 120 Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision support, and HDR10+ certification. Unlike the vanilla version, they come with an in-display fingerprint reader and stereo speakers.

Specs & Software

The Redmi Note 12 has an entry-level Qualcomm chipset from the last generation: the Snapdragon 4 Gen 1. With the Pro and the Pro Plus variants, you get a high-end Dimensity 1080 mobile platform by Mediatek running at a max frequency of 2.6 GHz and paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage. All of the variants run Android 12 out of the box, customized with MIUI 13.

Camera

The best camera setup belongs to the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus: it is equipped with a triple rear camera including a main 200 MP sensor with OIS, an 8 MP ultrawide shooter, and a 2 MP macro lens, while on the front, there is a 16 MP camera. The Redmi Note 12 Pro takes the silver medal with a 50 MP main sensor with OIS and the same secondary sensors, as well as the same front camera. The vanilla version has a disappointing 48 MP main camera paired with a 2 MP depth sensor.

Battery

All the variants of the Redmi Note 12 are equipped with the same battery capacity: 5000 mAh. Given that their components have more or less the same energy consumption, you should not expect big differences in terms of battery life. But there are important differences when it comes to the charging speeds: the Pro Plus variant supports 120W fast charging, the Pro one has 67W fast charging, and the vanilla version supports 33W fast charging.

Price

The vanilla Redmi Note 12 is available in the Chinese market with a starting price tag of €170 or $170 at the actual change, the Pro variant starts from €240 or $240, and the Pro Plus begins at €300 or $300. Which one would you pick?

As scheduled, Redmi has taken wraps off the Redmi Note 12 Pro series in China. The lineup consists of three models, namely Redmi Note 12 Pro, Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus, and Redmi Note 12 Discovery Edition. There’s also a Redmi Note 12 Yibo Edition based on Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus.

The three smartphones only differ in certain specs, while most part of the feature set is common across them. They can also be termed as different variants of the same handset, just like the Redmi Note 11T Pro series.

With that out of the way, let’s take a look at everything the Redmi Note 12 Pro family has to offer along with its price pricing and availability.

Redmi Note 12 Pro Series Specifications

All three models in the Redmi Note 12 Pro lineup sport a 6.67-inch centered punch-hole OLED display with a resolution of 2,400 x 1,080 pixels (FHD+), a 120Hz refresh rate, a 240Hz touch sampling rate, a 1920Hz PWM dimming, and a 16,000 level dimming. The 20:9 panel supports a 5,000,000:1 contrast ratio, 10-bit color depth, 900 nits peak brightness level, HDR10+, HDR10, and Dolby Vision.

The phones are powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 1080 SoC paired with LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 2.2 storage. The Pro Plus and the Discovery Edition feature a 3,000mm² VC cooling system, whereas the regular Pro version has a smaller 2,000mm² graphene-based cooling system.

The trio comes with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, an IR blaster, an x-axis linear vibration motor, dual stereo speakers, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Connectivity options on it include dual SIM, 5G, WiFi 6, GNSS, NFC, and USB Type-C.

The devices boot MIUI 13 based on Android 12. The Pro and Pro Plus are backed by a 5,000mAh battery. But the Discovery houses a 4,300mAh battery.

Talking about major differences, the Pro sports a 50MP Sony IMX766 primary camera. This 1/1.56-inch sensor has a 6P lens, f/1.88 aperture, and OIS.

On the other hand, the Pro Plus and Discovery Edition flaunt a 200MP Samsung ISOCELL HPX main camera measuring 1/1.4-inch in size. It arrives with a 7P lens, ALD coating, f/1.65 aperture, and OIS.

However, all three handsets have the same 8MP ultra-wide camera and 2MP macro camera. They also have an identical 16MP front-facing camera.

Further, they support different charging speeds. The  Pro, the Pro Plus, and the Discovery Edition support 67W, 120W, and 210 fast charging, respectively.

To be specific, the company is expected to announce the Redmi Note 12 Pro, Redmi Note 12 Pro+, and Note 12 Explorer at tomorrow’s event.

The top edge of the device also features a 3.5mm audio jack, an IR blaster, and a microphone. The bottom edge of the device features a USB-C port, a microphone, and a SIM slot apart from the speaker grille.

Several reports have claimed that Redmi will be launching the Redmi Note 12 series by the end of this month in China. Today, the Chinese manufacturer released an official confirmation that the Note 12 lineup will be unveiled at 7 pm (local time) on Oct. 27 in the home market.

The poster shown below gives a good look at the design of the Redmi Note 12 series’ camera module. It is equipped with a triple camera setup and a horizontal LED flash unit. The design of the camera module is almost identical to what was seen on the Redmi Note 11T Pro series, which was announced in May in China. The only noticeable difference is that the Note 11T Pro featured a vertical LED flash unit.

Now that the Redmi Note 12 series launch date has been confirmed, the company is expected to confirm some of its key features before its launch. Redmi has hinted that the Note 12 lineup will offer a stellar photography experience.  

The Redmi Note 12 family is now available for reservations in China. It has been found through JD listings of the Note 12 lineup that it will be comprised of around four devices, such as the Note 12, Note 12 Pro, Note 12 Pro+, and the Note 12 Pro Ultra. The lineup is expected to support up to 210W of fast charging.

The Redmi Note 12 series is expected to feature an AMOLED display with support for a high refresh rate. The Pro models are expected to feature the Dimensity 1080 chipset. The Note 12 series is arriving to capitalize on the Double 11 (Nov. 11) shopping festival in China. Rumours are rife that it will be released by Q1 2023 in the global market.

Today, Redmi took to its Weibo handle to confirm that the Redmi Note 12 series will be unveiled this month (October) in China. The company confirmed that the Note 12 will be equipped with the world’s first two new technologies without sharing details on it.  

It seems that the Redmi Note 12 series will have the world’s first smartphone powered by the Dimensity 1080 chipset. In addition, it is likely to carry support for up to 210W fast charging. It could be slightly faster than the iQOO 10 Pro’s 200W fast charging technology.

It seems that Redmi will confirm the launch date as well as the key features of the Redmi Note 12 series in the next few days. Rumors are rife that the upcoming Note 12, Note 12 Pro, and Note 12 Pro+ will arrive with support for 67W, 120W, and 210W charging. The lineup may also include a fourth model called the Redmi Note 12 Pro Ultra. Unfortunately, nothing is known about this device.

Rumors are rife that the Redmi Note 12 Pro and Pro+ will feature the Dimensity 1080 chipset. The lineup is said to offer features like an AMOLED display, a 50-megapixel main camera, and a 5,000mAh battery.

The October-end arrival of the Redmi Note 12 series is a good hint that the brand is aiming to take advantage of the upcoming Double 11 (November 11) shopping festival in China. This day is also known as Singles’ Day in the country. As far as the global launch is concerned, the Note 12 family may land in markets outside China in Q1 2023.

Recently, three Redmi phones were certified by the 3C authority in China. It is speculated that Redmi phones with 22101316UCP, 22101316UCP, and 22101316C belong to the Redmi Note 12 series. It appears that it may not take too long for it to go official, as the Note 12 series trio has now been found listed on JD.com.

The JD listings reveal that the Redmi Note 12 series will include the Redmi Note 12 5G, Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G, and Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G. There is a listing for another model named the Redmi Note 12 Pro Extreme Edition (or Redmi Note 12 Pro Ultra). So, it appears that there could be a fourth model in the series.

All the listings have some information on the configurations of the respective phones. However, we haven’t mentioned them in this post as they do not seem to be accurate. Rumors are rife that the Redmi Note 12, Note 12 Pro, and Note 12 Pro+ will carry support for 67W, 120W, and 210W fast charging.

Rumors are rife that the Redmi Note 12 Pro and Note 12 Pro+ will come equipped with the Dimensity 1080 chip, which went official earlier this month. As far as the Extreme Edition model is concerned, it is advisable to wait for further reports to see whether it really exists.

Past reports have claimed that the entire Redmi Note 12 series will come equipped with an AMOLED display. It is likely to feature a 50-megapixel main camera. Some unconfirmed information has claimed that the Note 12 Pro and Note 12 Pro+ may be rebranded as Xiaomi 12i series phones in the global market.

Xiaomi is expected to announce the Xiaomi 13 series in November or December this year. Before it arrives, the company’s sub-brand Redmi will unveil at least three Redmi phones, claims tipster Digital Chat Station (via. TechGoing). It looks like the rumored Redmi Note 12 Pro has been approved by the 3C certification platform in China. This means that the phone is about to be released.

A Redmi handset with model number 22101316C has bagged 3C certification. The device is said to have the ‘M16’ codename. Its 3C certification reveals that it may carry support for 67W fast charging.

According to the tipster, apart from the M16, there are two other Redmi phones with “M17” and “M16UP” codenames that are expected to debut before the Xiaomi 13 series. The M17 has the 22101317C model number, while the M16UP has the 22101316UCP. The M17, M16, and M16UP belong to the same series. The tipster added that the M16UP is the most powerful device in the lineup.

Redmi announced the Redmi Note 11, Note 11 Pro, and Note 11 Pro+ in October 2021. Hence, it appears that the brand could be gearing up to launch the Redmi Note 12 series in October this year. There is a possibility that the M17, M16, and M16UP could be the upcoming Redmi Note 12, the Redmi Note 12 Pro, and the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ models. These devices may arrive in time for the Single’s Day (November 11) sale in China.

According to a recent report, the Note 12 lineup will include a 50-megapixel (main) + 8-megapixel (ultra-wide) + 2-megapixel (macro/depth) triple camera unit. The Pro+ edition may carry support for 120W fast charging. It is likely that the Note 12 Pro and Note 12 Pro+ may come equipped with the Dimensity 1300 chipset.

The post Purported Redmi Note 12 series phone receives 3C certification, October launch expected appeared first on Gizmochina.

After launching multiple devices in the Note 11 series, it appears that Redmi is gearing up to debut the Note 12 series of smartphones soon.

According to a new report, the Redmi Note 12 series is said to launch ahead of the Double 11 shopping festival in China. For those unaware, the Double 11 shopping festival is China’s biggest shopping festival, which falls on November 11. It is also known as “Singles’ Day” in the country.

Going by this, we can expect the Note 12 series to debut in October, with sales starting from November 11th. The Redmi Note 12 series would be the company’s “small flagship” after the Redmi Note 11T was introduced as the “performance flagship” for 2022 (via MyDrivers). This approach of launching two Note series every year was announced by Xiaomi Group China president Lu Weibing earlier this year.

Rumor has it that the Redmi Note 12 and a Note 12 Pro model with better performance characteristics will be at least two of the series’ variants. A third device dubbed the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus could also join the lineup. However, it is yet to be confirmed.

As for specifications, the Redmi Note 12 series is expected to be powered by the Dimensity 1300 chipset. Other than that, we can expect 120W fast charging capability on the device along with a 50MP triple camera setup. Reports from Digital Chat Station on Weibo have also mentioned that the series could debit with a 50MP ultrawide camera, which would be a first for the Note series and will likely be reserved for the Pro or Pro Plus model.

Finer details are expected to emerge as we get closer to the rumored launch, so stay tuned.

So far, Xiaomi has launched multiple devices in the Xiaomi 12 series. The series debuted last year with the launch of the Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi 12 Pro, and Xiaomi 12X, and later, the company launched the Xiaomi 12S series devices with a new and improved Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset exclusively for the Chinese market. The brand is also said to bring the Xiaomi 12T series to the global market.

As we approach the fourth quarter of 2022, Xiaomi appears to be gearing up for the launch of its next series of flagship smartphones dubbed the Xiaomi 13 series.

A report from MySmartPrice reveals that new Xiaomi devices have been spotted on the EEC certification site with 2210132G and 2210133G model numbers. These devices are believed to belong to the upcoming Xiaomi 13 series.

Additionally, two new Redmi phones with the model IDs 22101316G and 22101316UG have been discovered in a different EEC listing. The G at the end of the model numbers could be indicative of the devices being global variants. The listing does not reveal any specifications of the device. However, we can take a look at the leaks and rumors so far to get an idea of what to expect.

Xiaomi 13 series specs (rumored)

A recent leak revealed that Xiaomi 13 series will come powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. This chipset is expected to be revealed in November, so we will likely see the Xiaomi 13 series debut around November as well. The device will likely reach the global markets early next year.

According to reports, Xiaomi will introduce its 13 series of smartphones with a single-cell battery and a self-developed charging IC that supports 50W wireless charging and 100W rapid charging. The Surge P1 chip, the only 100W single-cell chip solution currently available in the market, is anticipated to be included on the devices.

Although Xiaomi had just launched the Redmi Note 11 series globally in February this year, it seems that the company is already prepping itself up for the launch of the Redmi Note 12 series.

The news comes from Redmi CEO, Lu Weibing himself via Weibo. In the Weibo post, Lu had posted a teaser photo that hinted at the company announcement for a Redmi Note 12 series launch series in the country soon promising that the Redmi Note 12 series will offer a significant performance jump over the Redmi Note 11 series.

In the Weibo announcement post, Lu also mentions that since 2021, the Redmi brand has decided to launch two Redmi Note series phones a year, starting with the Redmi Note 10 series which was launched in China in H1 2021 and the Redmi Note 11 series which was launched in China in H2 2021. Lu reiterates that the company launched the Redmi Note 10 “performance powerhouse” series earlier in the year to cater to the audience that values device speed above all else, whereas the more “fashionable and camera-focused” Redmi Note 11 series was launched later in the year.

The CEO reiterates that the Redmi brand is looking to employ the same strategy of launching 2 series of Redmi Note devices in a year going forward, and that means we are going to see a “performance-focused” Redmi Note 12 series launch in H1 2022 and a “fashionable” Redmi Note 13 series launch in H2 2022.

At the end of the post Redmi CEO, Lu replies to its dedicated Xiaomi fans that Redmi had received feedback from its fans and users that the Redmi naming scheme had gotten confusing with the brand’s launch marketing strategy. Thus, the Redmi brand is currently open to any suggestions from fans and netizens alike to name its next “Redmi Note” series.

As of current, the suggestions for the name of the next Redmi Note series from Chinese netizens include “Redmi Note 12”, “Redmi Note 11T”, “Redmi Note 12X”, and “Redmi Note 12T”.

Which name will Xiaomi and Redmi reserve for its next Redmi Note series, is to be announced soon as the company is scheduled to announce this new Redmi Note series of phones in May or June of 2022.

Model number 21091116I represents the Redmi Note 11 Pro Indian variant as the Chinese variant of the Note 11 Pro carries the model number 21091116C (C representing China).

It is yet to be seen if the handset will be rebranded to Xiaomi 11i, as previously reported, or carry the same name as the Chinese variant. For now, the upcoming smartphone holds the moniker of the Redmi Note 11 Pro on the IMEI database.
