Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 5G features a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and FHD+ 1080x2400px resolution. It runs on Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 chipset and comes with 4GB/6GB/8GB of RAM and 128GB/256GB of storage options.
The phone holds a 48MP rear primary camera and a 13 MP front lens. The rear camera is good enough for taking routine photos in good lighting conditions. However, it struggles in low light. It supports 1080p video recording at 30fps.
The phone holds a 5000mAh battery and supports a 33W fast charging option, which can charge up to 50% in 22 minutes as advertised.
Redmi Note 12 5G provides good value for money, with a decent camera setup at the back, an excellent display with high brightness, a big battery, and 33W fast charging support. However, it is very similar to the Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 4G, with no extra feature other than 5G network connectivity.
Overall, the Redmi Note 12 5G is a well-balanced phone in a friendly budget. It has an excellent battery life, outstanding display, decent daylight photography, and a satisfactory performance experience. It is a good choice for consumers looking for a mid-range phone with multiple features and 5G capabilities.
