Editorial report
Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 8 GB / 256 GB / China technical sheet
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 suits buyers looking for a practical 5G phone with a particularly strong display. Its main trade-off is the main camera: the sensor is among the smallest on phones of its time, and optical image stabilization is absent.
Its 6.67-inch AMOLED display reaches 1200 nits, brighter than most phones of its time. A 120 Hz refresh rate, Always-On Display and Gorilla Glass 3 add useful everyday features. The 8 mm body is also thinner than most phones of its time. The 5000 mAh battery and 33 W charging are typical figures for the period, while the camera overall is typical. The 48 MP main camera uses a 1/2.76-inch sensor, among the smallest of its time, and has no optical image stabilization.
This version combines 4 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage, although the Redmi Note 12 is also sold as 6 GB / 128 GB, 8 GB / 128 GB and 8 GB / 256 GB. Storage expansion, NFC, dual SIM, GPS and 5G are included. Overall performance is typical of phones launched around the same time. With a NeoScore of 5.6, it is a balanced choice for buyers who prioritize the screen, 5G and practical connectivity over ambitious camera hardware.
