The Redmi Note are less and less Redmi Note
The Redmi saga was born to offer Xiaomi buyers some cheap phones with decent hardware for the price of phones. Over the years, and generations, these Redmi ranged from the most basic to the almost high-end; with the Note as the main exponents. With today’s revision, the family moves even closer to the top end of the catalog while largely abandoning its origins.
The three contenders for Xiaomi’s well-populated ring show off classy hardware, offer quality design and the specialization in photography that prevails in the highest ranges. As Xiaomi anticipated, The Redmi Note 12 present two unusual elements in the category, one of them unique.
The cameras raise the numbers in all three models to offer a triple sensor behind with one in front (two sensors in the Redmi Note 12). The 200-megapixel main camera is found on the Redmi Note 12 Pro+, this is one of the unusual elements. For its part, the Redmi Note Pro keeps a 50-megapixel sensor (which does not have to be worse in practice); with one of 48 megapixels for the most content of the three. In the Pro models there is an 8 megapixel camera and wide angle lens as secondary (12.5 megapixels in the Pro and Pro +). And 2-megapixel macro as a fill-in camera in the trio.
Ahead, all three phones have a hole in the upper area of the OLED screen to house the front camera (8 on the 12 and 16 on the Pro). Precisely, this screen amounts to 6.67 inches; offering a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz. The maximum brightness amounts to 900 nits in the Pro models; with 1,200 notes on the Redmi Note 12.
