Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 and Note 12 Pro Unveiled with AMOLED 120Hz, IP-Ratings, & 5000mAh Cells

After a string of teasers and build-up, the smartphone maker finally uncloaks the next-gen successors to Redmi Note 11 lineup in the Chinese market. Xiaomi Introduced four new devices in the keynote yesterday: Redmi Note 12, Note 12 Pro, Note 12 Pro Plus, and the Note 12 Explorer.

This piece explicitly outlines the details of Vanilla Note 12 and Note 12 Pro; we’ll put together a separate news post to cover the rest. Lying in the lower tier of the Redmi Note 12 chain, let’s see what kind of features the brand offers to its user. 

Redmi Note 12

Right out of the gate, the Note 12 package welcomes you to a premium Samsung AMOLED screen spanning 6.67-inch across, meanwhile boasting a 120Hz refresh rate, 240Hz quick touch response, FHD+ resolution, and 1200nits of brightness levels.

Users will find a barebone dual-lens camera system on the backplate hiding a 48MP prime sensor followed by an auxiliary 2MP unit. Upfront, there’s a measly 8MP selfie shooter. While retaining a 3.5mm audio port, a Dual-slotted SIM tray, an IR blaster, and a Dual speaker grille, Note 12 still flaunts an IP rating for dust and water splashes (not submersion).

Being the cheapest in the line, Redmi Note 12 only gets a 33W juicer to back its 5000mAh cell. Chinese price listing reveals four memory combos: 4+128, 6+128, 8+128, and 8+256. The price starts from ~166$, converting to ~37,000PKR.

Redmi Note 12 Pro

The Note 12 Pro from the lineup carries a distinctively featured OLED screen, sized at 6.67-inch with FHD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. The phone owes its Pro-nature to MTK’s latest Dimensity 1080 Chip and 50MP IMX766 sensor by Sony. 

The Pros in the new lineup boast multiple storage/memory configurations maxed out to 12Gigs RAM and 256Gigs storage. The backplate has Triple-camera silos, and the phone header carries a 16MP selfie shooter. The noteworthy feature of the Note 12 Pro is its charging speed boosting a 5000mAh cell using 67W brick.  

In terms of Price, Redmi Note 12 Pro starts from ~52,000PKR (6+128) and goes all the way up to ~67,800PKR (12+256).
