Xiaomi‘s independent Redmi brand earlier in March this year added the Redmi Note 12 Turbo to the Redmi Note 12 series lineup. The premium midrange model arrived in 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB storage options. The Chinese tech giant has now announced a much more affordable option – a 128GB storage version of the Note 12 Turbo.

The new Redmi Note 12 Turbo version comes with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage and is priced at 1799 yuan ($251) making it the cheapest model available to interested buyers. Unfortunately, the new storage option is only available to Xiaomi fans in China and there is no word yet as to when it will ship to the global market.

As a reminder, the Redmi Note 12 Turbo boasts a 6.67-inch OLED screen with an FHD+ resolution. The display outputs a peak brightness of 1,000 nits, a wide 100 percent DCI-P3 color gamut, a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, and brings support for Dolby Vision and HDR10+. With its center-aligned punch-hole cutout, slimmer bezels, and an impressive 93.45 percent screen-to-body ratio, the device offers an immersive viewing experience.

The Note 12 Turbo is powered by a Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 processor. It comes equipped with up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM and 1TB of UFS 3.1 storage, ensuring smooth multitasking and ample storage capacity. To manage heat dissipation, the smartphone incorporates a 3725mm vapor cooling chamber. It is fueled by a 5,000mAh battery that supports 67W fast charging.

At the back of the Note 12 Turbo, you’ll find three camera sensors seamlessly placed without any module. This camera setup consists of a 64MP main lens with optical image stabilization (OIS) support, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 2MP macro unit. For selfies, there is a 16MP front-facing camera. The device runs on MIUI 14, based on Android 13, providing a feature-rich and user-friendly interface.

In terms of connectivity, the device offers dual 5G support, WiFi-6, NFC, Bluetooth, an IR Blaster, and a 3.5mm headphone jack, catering to various connectivity needs.

Redmi will officially launch the Redmi Note 12 Turbo on March 28. The new product launch conference will witness the unveiling of the first Note series model with the largest heat sink and the largest memory configuration, as per a couple of teasers released by the company.

The first teaser shows the Redmi Note 12 Turbo is equipped with 3,725 square millimeter e-sports grade vapour chamber. Vapor chamber cooling is a thermal management technique used to transfer heat from a heat source, such as a computer processor or graphics card, to a heat sink. It utilizes a flat, sealed chamber containing a small amount of liquid that evaporates and condenses quickly. The vapor moves to cooler areas of the chamber, where it releases the absorbed heat, and then flows back to the hotter area to repeat the process. Vapor chamber cooling is efficient, quiet, and does not require any moving parts, making it a popular choice for high-performance computing applications.

The Note 12 Turbo comes with diversion grooves and offers up to 35% improvement in heat dissipation above the previous iteration. It will be the first model to be powered by the 2nd-generation Snapdragon 7+ processor using the same architecture as the SD 8+ and is tuned for gaming.

A second teaser released by Redmi shows that the Note 12 Turbo will be launched with a 16GB RAM version with 1TB of storage. That is yet another first on the Redmi Note series. The highest we have seen on the series and on most flagship models is the 12GB+512GB storage combination.

As a reminder, the Redmi Note 12 Turbo has a 6.67-inch 1080 x 2400p display. It features a 5,500mAh battery and supports 5G connectivity. The display panel is AMOLED with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 20:9 ratio. It will come with Android 13 and MIUI 14 on the software side. Its GPU is the Adreno 725 and up to 256GB of storage will be available.

The Redmi Note 12 Turbo has a triple main camera setup including a 50MP wide camera. The camera module features LED flash, HDR, and Panorama views. In terms of connectivity, the Note 12 Turbo features Bluetooth 5.2, Wi-Fi, and NFC in selected markets. The device also support 67W wired charging via USB-C and will be available in several colors including black.

Xiaomi‘s current Redmi Note 12 premium mid-range series consists of up to five models including the Redmi Note 12 Discovery Edition, Note 12 Pro, Note 12 Pro Plus, Note 12 Pro Speed, and the vanilla Note 12. Well, that may soon change as a recent rumor claims the company is planning to launch a sixth model known as Redmi Note 12 Turbo soon.

The rumor by Kacper Skrzypek reveals the device bears the codenamed marble and packs a Qualcomm chip. The rumor is gathering momentum as specs details of a Xiaomi model said to be the expected Note 12 Turbo has been shared by prolific tipster Digital Chat Station. The tipster hinted via a Weibo post that the smartphone will be powered by a Snapdragon 7 Gen 2 chipset. The processor will pair with 12GB RAM with up to 512GB of storage.

Digital Chat Station also disclosed that it will pack a 6.67-inch OLED display with FHD+ resolution and support for a 120Hz refresh rate. This display setup is similar in size to other models of the Redmi Note 12 series. As far as the camera, the Redmi Note 12 Turbo is listed to feature a 50MP + 8MP + 2MP triple camera setup. It is also expected to cram a 5500mAh battery under the hood with support for 67W fast charging.

For now, there is no word as to when the Note 12 Turbo or Note 12T will go official. There is also no official confirmation from Xiaomi. The company had promised not to clutter the Note 12 series but with five models already and a rumored sixth, we can’t say the company is keeping true to its promise.
