After knowing the details of the Redmi 12 4G, it is time to talk about the older brother, the Redmi 12 5G. This device will be presented on the day August 1 officially and wants to establish itself as one of the kings of the mid-range. He disassociates himself from the Redmi Note series, losing the surname “Note” and accepts a simpler design. This Redmi 12 5G will be a copy of Redmi Note 12R launched in China, so we already know everything it has to offer.
This is all that the Xiaomi Redmi 12 5G offers
The design of the Redmi 12 5G will be identical to the 4G version. Its rear part is simplified by offering a camera without a module and some flat sides. The front area is starred by a screen with a hole and some relatively used bezels. It has a 3.5 mm jack in the upper area and a connection USB-C to the charge.
In terms of features, it is not too different from its little brother, differing mainly in performance. The chosen processor goes from being a MediaTek Helio G88 to a Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2.

Upgrading your processor not only gives you a performance boost, it also gives you more 5G networks. This last detail makes it a somewhat more complete and recommendable device than the same 4G version. Still, if the price difference is too high, 4G may be a smarter purchase.
It should also be noted that the 5G version loses a rear camera, specifically the 8 MP sensor. It stays with a wide angle and a macro sensor. Without a doubt, a strange move on the part of Xiaomi.
The best Xiaomi mid-range for 2023?
No. And we anticipate it before its official presentation without a doubt. When the Redmi 12 5G goes on sale, it could do so for around 200 euros, when it is easy to buy a Redmi Note 12 for about 145 euros.
