Xiaomi is ready to announce its highly anticipated Redmi Note 12 Turbo series in China this week on March 28, as the mid-range Android smartphone market heats up in 2023. This time around, the smartphone brand is bold enough to claim that the upcoming affordable Redmi Note 12 Turbo will offer the “flagship smartphone experience” at a much lower price than its competitors.

Xiaomi Group President and Redmi General Manager, Lu Weibing, posted on his Chinese social media Weibo recently, announcing that the company is serious about bringing the flagship-level performance and smartphone experience to a wider and more price-conscious audience.

Alongside the announcement, the President also shared that the Redmi Note 12 Turbo series will bring much beloved features such as the 3.5mm headphone jack, the infrared IR sensor, multifunctional NFC support, and support for the latest Bluetooth 5.3. These user beloved features are typically omitted in flagships that cost almost 5 times as much as the price range that the Redmi Note 12 Turbo is competing. Other notable additions include Dolby Atmos certified stereo speakers and an X-axis linear vibration motor normally found on more expensive smartphones.

The Redmi Note 12 Turbo is also the world’s first smartphone to be equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 processor, which brings significant improvements to performance and power consumption compared to its predecessor the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1. In fact, the 7+ Gen 2 is comparable to the flagship Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC launched last year.

And according to teasers revealed by the company, the front of the Redmi Note 12 Turbo sports a 6.67-inch OLED screen that supports a refresh rate of 120Hz and Full HD+ resolution. It also supports 68.7 billion colours, 100% of the DCI-P3 colour gamut, 1920Hz PWM dimming and HDR10+ certification. It is said that its screen-to-body ratio has reached 93.45%. The chin thickness of the Redmi Note 12 Turbo is 2.2mm, which is 0.2mm slimmer than the iPhone 14. The side frame thickness is 1.42mm and the top frame thickness is 1.95mm. There is also a small hole in the centre of the screen for the front selfie camera.

We have been hearing about the Redmi Note 12 Turbo (aka Redmi Note 12T) since January. In the last few weeks, more details about this smartphone have emerged.

Today, a new report reveals that the device may go official very soon. Let’s check out what this reliable source has to say.

According to Xiaomiui, the software for the upcoming Redmi Note 12 Turbo is ready. The handset will ship with MIUI 14 based on Android 13. The last internal MIUI build for this phone bears firmware version V14.0.2.0.TMRCNXM.

Since the product will be making its initial debut in China, Redmi may start teasing its arrival in the coming days. As usual, the brand may disclose all the main features before the smartphone’s official announcement.

The Redmi Note 12 Turbo, which is codenamed ‘marble’, is expected to release outside mainland China as Poco F5. But unfortunately, the software for the Poco model is not ready yet.

But the source has revealed that there will be three variants of Poco F5 for international markets. They are Global, EEA, and India.

According to other reports, there’s going to be a Poco F5 Pro as well. That device is nothing but a rebranded Redmi K60 featuring a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen1 chipset.

As far as the Remdi Note 12 Turbo (Poco F5) is concerned, it is tipped to arrive with a new Snapdragon 7 series chip (either Gen 2 or plus variant of Gen1), a 6.67-inch 120Hz OLED display, a 50MP + 8MP + 2MP triple camera system, an in-screen fingerprint sensor, a 5,500mAh battery, and 67W charging support.

The post Redmi Note 12 Turbo is Almost Here appeared first on Gizmochina.

In May 2022, Redmi unveiled the Redmi Note 11T Pro and Note 11T Pro+ smartphones in the Chinese market. Rumors are rife that a Note-branded model featuring the upcoming Snapdragon 7 Gen 2 chip is in the works. In all likelihood, it will arrive as a successor to the Redmi Note 11T series. The final marketing name of the device is yet to be revealed. According to rumors, the device will be called the Note 12T or Note 12 Turbo. Today, tipster Digital Chat Station shared some information about the device on Weibo. The original post is no longer available since DCS has modified it. However, TechGoing has published a report based on what he originally posted.

As per the report, the tipster revealed that the Redmi Note 12 Turbo has the upcoming Snapdragon 7-series chipset, which is said to be the Snapdragon 7 Gen 2 chip. He added that the device will arrive with a 6.67-inch Full HD+ OLED display with eye-protection dimming, a 5,500mAh battery that offers 67W fast charging, an IR blaster, and a linear motor.

As can be seen, the tipster has just reiterated what he shared before. However, he also added that there will not be a Pro+ version for the device.

To recall, the Redmi Note 11T and 11T Pro+ offered the same specs but differed in battery size and charging capabilities. Hence, it appears that the Redmi Note 12 Turbo will succeed the Note 11T Pro, but there will not be a Pro+ version.

Other leaks have revealed that the Redmi Note 12 Turbo will have an in-screen fingerprint scanner and a 50-megapixel + 8-megapixel + 2-megapixel triple camera unit. It will run on Android 13, which will be overlaid with MIUI 14.

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.

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.

The post More Details of the Rumoured Redmi Note 12 Turbo Leak appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.
