Similarly, the 16MP selfie camera struggles with exposure and tends to wash colours out somewhat, but it does an adequate job. A huge 5000mAh Li-Po battery blows life into the smartphone. And, considering the battery size, a full day of juice is expected on normal usage like calling, texting, browsing, scrolling, etc. The most impressive offering is its 67W fast charger that assures to deliver 50% of battery life in just 15 minutes, whereas it takes around 46 minutes to fully charge the battery, Xiaomi claims. Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G Storage and Connectivity With its Advanced Cooling Solution The extra large vapor chamber and the three large graphite sheets have enhanced the cooling capabilities of the device to the next level. This setup is designed keeping the end user in mind for better cooling of their device even with heavy multitasking or gaming

Weaker image processing and optics means that the Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G’s main camera still doesn’t approach flagship levels of clarity, especially when the light drops, and the Pixel 6a is a much better all-round camera system for just a little more money. But I enjoyed my time shooting with the Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G nonetheless. Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro brings a 6.67-inches AMOLED touchscreen along with a 10-bit display resulting in more than 1 billion different colors for vivid picture quality. On top of that, it has Dolby Vision and DCI-P3 color gamut that enhances the saturation and vibrant level. As for the resolution, the display has an FHD+ 1080x2400px with a pixel density of 395ppi. Besides, a layer of Gorilla Glass 5 protects the panel from deep cuts and scratches. Interestingly, in our usual looping video test, which plays a looped video at a standard 170cd/m² brightness with Flight mode on, the Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G performed better than its Plus brother, lasting an hour longer. At up to 900 nits of brightness, it was mostly able to combat bright sunshine, with the caveat being that testing took place in the UK, not noted for challenging sunny conditions. In practical use, long 15- or 16-hour days would routinely leave me with around 40% left on moderate to intensive days, and well above 50% on lighter days. That’s good going.Talking of accuracy, I recorded an sRGB gamut coverage of 99.6% against a gamut volume of 103.9%, with an average Delta E score of 1.36. This is a strong result for a mid-ranger, handily beating the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G. And, unlike Samsung’s brilliant effort, you also get HDR10+ and Dolby Vision support. Perhaps the biggest and most direct rival to the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus, however, is the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G, which costs exactly the same price. The Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G comes with the flagship 50MP Sony IMX766 Sensor Setup: 50MP Primary Camera + 8MP Ultrawide Camera + 2MP Macro Camera. It also features OIS for the first time ever on a Redmi Note for stable-blur free pictures for exceptional low-light photography. These features provide clear & detailed images even in the most challenging lighting situations.

It’s largely a case of evolution over revolution, but there are signs of genuine progress with this year’s model. Faster performance and a superior main camera represent the brand’s bid for continued mid-range relevance. The Sony IMX766 has been in a number of our favourite flagship and mid-range phones of the past few years, starting with the classy Oppo Find X3 Pro in 2021. More recently, it’s found its way into the Nothing Phone (1) and the OnePlus Nord 2T. Crucially, Xiaomi has paired that ageing but capable image sensor with OIS, keeping it nice and stable when the light starts to drop. Other returning elements include a large 5,000mAh battery and speedy 67W wired charging. As the name suggests, 5G connectivity also makes a return.There’s an optional AI mode for all of these cameras, but I found that it tended to make landscape shots look a little false, with punched up colours and brightness. I generally left it off. Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G review: Verdict Remember what I said about that raised price placing the Redmi into elevated competition, however. Compared to the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G and the Google Pixel 6a, those performance figures don’t fare so well. The Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G has its own pricing niche in the market, but it’s a very small one. There are some classy competitors out there for not much more money. It’s faster than before, its camera is capable of decent results in a variety of conditions, the phone’s 6.67in AMOLED display is as good as ever, battery life is dependable, and charging is nice and fast. Despite that, we have some familiar gripes about MIUI and the phone’s secondary cameras.

What may be more of a deterrent for the general population is Xiaomi’s approach to software design. Xiaomi’s approach to software is ‘keep adding’, whether it’s new features, ways to access the same thing, ways to split simple interactions and more, Xiaomi gives a host of options, many that most people will never access.The Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G runs on the same Mediatek Dimensity 1080 processor as the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus 5G, which is quite a turn up for the books given the difference in price. It’s also an upgrade on the Snapdragon 695 used in the Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G. In our video test, which plays a looped video at a standard 170cd/m² brightness with areoplane mode on, the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus didn’t perform quite so impressively. It fell behind the Google Pixel 6a by several hours, and way behind the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G by almost ten hours.

Or at least, I did with that main sensor. The 8MP ultrawide is just as weak as before, failing to match the detail, tone and contrast of the main sensor. Ditto the 2MP macro, which is utterly pointless. Xiaomi has mixed things up on the photographic front, installing a large 50MP Sony IMX766 image sensor in place of last year’s 108MP Samsung ISOCELL HM2. No, it’s not as attention-grabbing as the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus 5G’s 200MP sensor, but it’s a smart, quietly accomplished choice on Xiaomi’s part. Like its mid-range rival, the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus has had to justify a price bump over its predecessor. It has managed to do so, but perhaps not quite so comprehensively. Our Note Series has been received with a lot of love & appreciation in the past, so we are extremely proud to be presenting the next big thing, Redmi Note 12 Series. Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G features the flagship 50MP Sony IMX766 sensor with OIS, 120Hz Pro AMOLED Display, a brand new processor Mediatek Dimensity 1080 with 10 5G Band support and 67W Turbo Charge. Much like last year’s model, the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus is fronted by a 6.67in OLED display with a 2,400 x 1,080 (FHD+) resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.The short video clip shown with quad speaker is an edit of ”Virtuoso: The Quartet" presented by Xiaomi Studios with all right reserved.
