This is the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G
Let’s start with the high-end of the family, the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G. As far as design is concerned, the four terminals are very similar, but on the back and on the sides is where we find some differences.
In this case, we have a wide and rectangular camera module that is shared by almost all members of the Redmi Note 12 family. The rear has a free curvature that blends with flat sides where we find both the volume controls and the sensor. of footprints This is so in all family members.
On the front we have a 6.67-inch Flow AMOLED panel with FullHD+ resolution (with a count of 2,400 x 1,080 pixels) and 120 Hz refresh rate. The typical brightness is 500 nits while the high brightness mode has a maximum of 900 nits.
inside we have the latest from MediaTek for this mid-range, the Dimensity 1080. It is a SoC manufactured in six nanometers that has two cores at 2.6 GHz and another six more efficient at 2 GHz. It is accompanied by 8 GB of LPDDR4X RAM and a single configuration of 256 GB of storage.
The battery has a capacity of 5,000 mAh (the same in all Redmi Note 12), but in this model we find the most advanced fast charge: 120 W.
As for the cameras, the main one is 200 megapixels with optical stabilization and aperture f/1.7. The wide angle has 8 megapixels f/2.2 and mounts a third macro camera of 2 Mpx f/2.4. The front camera is 16 megapixel f/2.5.
This is the Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G
The design is very similar to that of the 12 Pro+ 5G, with those flat sides together with curvature both in the glass of the screen (not in the panel, that is flat) and in the back. As you can see in the specifications table, it has the same height and width, but the thickness is less than its older brother, with an interesting 7.9 millimeters.
Yes indeed, despite being thinner, it maintains the 5,000 mAh battery with 67 W charging. The processor is also the MediaTek Dimensity 1080 along with configurations of 6 and 8 GB of RAM. Storage also comes with two options: 128 and 256 GB.
The screen is exactly the same than the one we find in its older brother, with the same dimensions, the 120 Hz refresh rate and that Flow AMOLED panel.
And in the photographic section we do not have 200 megapixels, but we do the very interesting Sony IMX766 as the main camera sensor. It is a 50 megapixel sensor, the lenses are stabilized and the aperture is f/1.9. The squires are a wide angle of 8 Mpx f/2.2 and a macro of 2 Mpx f/”.4. On the front we have 16 megapixels with a lens aperture of f / 2.5.
This is the Redmi Note 12 5G
Let’s go to the most accessible and start with the Redmi Note 12 5G. As far as design is concerned, it could pass as one of its older brothers, since it maintains the lines both on the back and on the front, although with a somewhat smaller camera module.
The panel is AMOLED with a FullHD+ resolution of 2,400 x 1,080 pixels and 120 Hz refresh. Something interesting is that it has a peak of 1,200 nits, so there should be no problem viewing the content on the street on a sunny day.
Inside we see the Snapdragon 4 Gen 1a processor made of a six-nanometer lithograph with two cores at a frequency of 2 GHz and another six at 1.8 GHz. Here we see more configurations of both RAM (4 GB, 6 GB or 8 GB) and storage, having 128GB, 256GB and possibility to expand via microSD up to 1 TB.
The battery is 5,000 mAhlike the rest of the family, and the charge here remains at the 33 W that Xiaomi has practically standardized in its most accessible ranges.
Regarding the cameras, we have 48 megapixels for the main camera8 megapixels for the wide angle and 2 megapixels for the macro, with a 13 megapixel front camera.
This is the Redmi Note 12
Finally, Let’s go with the characteristics of the Redmi Note 12. You might think that this is a case where it is identical to the 5G model, but with a different processor. And no, we have some other differences.
Something that remains is the screen, being that panel A6.67-inch MOLED with FullHD + resolution and 120 Hz refreshment. The processor, this time, is the Snapdragon 685, a new SoC for mid-range mobiles, and It comes in configurations of 4, 6 and 8 GB of RAM.
The storage of this version is 64 or 128 GB, but it can be expanded up to 1 TB using microSD cards. The battery is identical to that of its older brother, 5,000 mAh with 33 W charging and in the cameras we again see a difference in the main sensor.
We go to 50 megapixels for the main anglebut keeping the 8 megapixels for the wide angle, 2 Mpx for the macro and 13 Mpx for the front camera.
