Editorial report
Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Discovery 8 GB / 256 GB / China technical sheet
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Discovery suits buyers who put camera specifications and fast charging first. Its 4300 mAh battery has less capacity than most phones launched around the same time, while 210 W fast charging is among the fastest of its time. At 207.5 g, it also weighs more than most phones from that period.
The 200 MP camera resolution is among the highest in phones launched around the same time. Its 1/1.4″ sensor and f/1.7 aperture are also among the best for those specifications. Optical image stabilization is included, alongside an 8 MP ultrawide camera and a 2 MP macro camera. Video recording reaches 4K at 30 fps, and slow motion reaches 960 fps.
The camera and performance hardware stand better than most phones launched around the same time. The 6.67″ OLED display supports 120 Hz, Dolby Vision and HDR10+; its refresh rate and pixel density are typical for its time. Storage is 256 GB and cannot be expanded. The display covers 86.8% of the front, more than on most phones of its time.
The Redmi Note 12 Discovery earns a NeoScore of 6.5. It is a fit for buyers seeking very high camera resolution and 210 W wired charging who can accept a lower-capacity battery and a relatively heavy phone.
