Performance.

At the heart of the Redmi Note 12 5G is the Snapdragon® 4 Gen 1 processor, ensuring smooth performance across various tasks.

 Whether you’re a gamer or enjoy watching high-quality videos, the mid-range category Adreno 619 graphics unit supports simple games with less graphics, streaming, or just browsing.

This phone is fast at performing multiple tasks like watching YouTube videos as Facebook and WhatsApp apps are active in the background.

This is because the processor has 8 cores with 6GB or 8 GB RAM and runs to a clock speed of up to 2GHz.

Note that there is a limitation to the speed not to overload the phone applications otherwise, it will begin to slow down.

The same processor supports the fastest file transfer Bluetooth 5.2 version until 2023—also, quick Wi-Fi 5 for internet connections and 5G LTE cellular connection for this price range.

The storage capacity is expandable to up to 1TB from the default 128 GB. This is enough to store all your audio and video files.

You find the same processor with iQOO Z6 Lite | Vivo Y200 5G | Sony Xperia Ace IV | Motorola Moto G42 5G.

Design.

In terms of design, the Redmi Note 12 5G features a strong build of recycled outer materials with a metal finish, giving it a premium feel. It’s also equipped with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for quick and secure access to your device.

There are options for color pickiness: Onyx Gray |Ice Blue | and Forest Green.

Display

The phone’s display is wide enough for most phone activities plus offering a 120Hz refresh rate for quick app navigation and animation.

With a peak brightness of 1200 nits, the screen is easily viewable even in bright outdoor conditions. The AMOLED panel ensures that everything from text to images is sharp and clear.

Weight and looks.

This budget king is as light as one big Apple and as thick as a common drawing pencil.

It is built with a hard plastic body that fits in the palm. The screen is protected by corning gorilla glass.                                                                                      

Camera.

Just because the phone is cheap doesn’t mean you won’t have budget-worthy pictures.

Recording 1k videos at 60 frames per send 

Photography fans appreciate the three-camera setup and 48MP main sensor.

This allows for detailed and vibrant photos, even in challenging lighting conditions.

The camera system also includes an 8MP ultra-wide lens, a 2MP macro lens, and a 2MP depth sensor, providing versatility for all your photography needs.

With the 13 MP front camera, you can take decent selfies that fit this price range but are not so exceptional.

Battery

Battery life is another reason why this phone is loved. It has a 5000mAh capacity that can easily last throughout the day regardless of how you use it.

And when it’s time to recharge, the 33W fast charging capability gets you 50% battery in 25 minutes.

One bonus feature is the 3.5mm headphone jack just in case you have wired headphones which is a rare feature on the latest models.
