Editorial report

Xiaomi Redmi Note 12R 4 GB / 128 GB / China technical sheet

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 12R suits buyers looking for a large display who can accept compromises in screen brightness, memory, and charging. Its 6.79-inch IPS LCD has a resolution of 1080 × 2460 px. The 90 Hz refresh rate and 550-nit peak brightness are lower than those of most phones of its time. The screen’s size suits reading, video, and apps, but its brightness and refresh rate do not stand out among phones launched around the same time.

This version pairs 4 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage, less than most phones of its time in both respects. Storage is expandable. The configuration includes a Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 and LPDDR5X RAM, while 18 W fast charging is slower than on most contemporaries. The camera ranks below most phones of its time overall. It includes a 50 MP camera and a 2 MP macro camera, but no optical image stabilization. The battery capacity is 5,000 mAh.

The body is 8.2 mm thick, thinner than most phones of its time. Connectivity includes 5G, NFC, Bluetooth 5.3, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. The Redmi Note 12R earns a NeoScore of 5.2. It is a reasonable fit for buyers who prioritize a large display and 5G and are comfortable with its limitations in brightness, memory, charging, and camera.
