Editorial report
Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Explorer technical sheet
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Explorer suits people who put photography and very fast charging first. Its main trade-off is a 4,300 mAh battery, with less capacity than most phones launched around the same time; at 207.5 g, it is also heavier than most. Its camera’s 200 MP resolution is among the highest of its time, while the 1/1.4″ sensor and f/1.7 aperture are also among the best for their respective specifications. Overall, the camera is better than most phones released around the same time.
Its hardware is better than most as well: it uses a MediaTek Dimensity 1080 and has an AnTuTu result of 498,710. Charging at 210 W is among the fastest of its time, a striking figure alongside the battery’s lower capacity. The 6.67″ OLED display runs at 120 Hz and supports Dolby Vision. Other features include 5G, Wi-Fi 6, NFC, and stereo speakers. IP54 resistance rounds out the listed features, while the camera system has no optical zoom.
With an overall NeoScore of 6.1, the Redmi Note 12 Explorer is a photography-focused choice with unusually powerful charging. Its smaller battery capacity and above-average weight are the clearest compromises for anyone weighing up this phone.
