On sale. Redmi Note 12 5G, Redmi Note 12 Pro, Redmi Note 12 Pro+

About the brand new Redmi Note 12 4G I already told you today. And now I need to say a few words about his older brothers.

Let me remind you of the background.

1. In October 2022, Redmi Note 12 5G China, Redmi Note 12 Pro and Redmi Note 12 Pro+ smartphones were announced in China.

2. In January 2023, the series reached India. Moreover, the younger model, Redmi Note 12 5G Global, turned out to be a little different - a wide-angle camera was added.

3. And now, in the spring of 2023, global sales begin. Models appear on AliExpress. What is important - with the support of the ranges we neednew LTE - the seventh and twentieth. Otherwise, the characteristics of the devices are identical to those models that are sold in India.

For starters, let's talk about prices. And then remember about the characteristics of smartphones.

Redmi Note 12 5G Global will cost $249 (₽19700), $279 (₽22000), $299 (₽23600) for versions 4+128, 6+128 and 8+256 GB respectively. The start of sales is scheduled for April 10.

Redmi Note 12 Pro will cost from $329 (₽26000) for the younger version 6+128 GB. The cost of older varieties 8 + 128 and 8 + 256 GB is not specified. Sales start - April 6.

Redmi Note 12 Pro

SeniorThe second smartphone, Redmi Note 12 Pro+, will cost $399 (₽31,500) for the only 8+256GB version available. Sales will also start on April 6.

Redmi Note 12 Pro+

To the characteristics.

First, literally three words for each model:

Redmi Note 12 5G Global is a normal middle class, but they obviously saved money on cameras.

Redmi Note 12 Pro is a solid middle class, the camera has improved and acquired optical stabilization.

Redmi Note 12 Pro+ is a copy of Note 12 Pro, but with a 200 MP camera.

The screens of smartphones are the same in terms of basic characteristics. Well, for the main differencesYou can see the difference between the models in this plate.

12 12Pro 12 Pro+ Chipset Snap.4 Gen 1 Dimensity 1080 Dimensity 1080 Battery 5000 mAh / 33 W 5000 mAh / 67 W 5000 mAh / 120 W cameras 48+8+2 / 13 MP 50+8+2 / 16 MP 200+8+2 / 16 MP

Now a little more about everything.

Iron. The younger smartphone is Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 1. Good middle class. We are waiting for a little less than 400 thousand points in AnTuTu.

Other smartphones use MediaTek Dimensity 1080. In AnTuTu, this will be in the region of half a million points.

Screens. Standard 6.67" (107 cm²) OLED panels with 1080x2400 (395 ppi) resolution.Fast refresh rate up to 120 Hz.

The batteries have a capacity of 5000 mAh. Charging speeds are growing rapidly from the younger model to the older one.

Front cameras. 13 MP for the younger model and 16 MP for the rest.

Rear cameras.

Redmi Note 12 5G Global - the simplest triple camera 48 + 8 + 2 MP without optical stabilization.
Redmi Note 12 Pro - optical stabilization appears. There are also three cameras - 50 + 8 + 2 (main, wide, macro). The sensor of the main camera is quite solid - Sony IMX766.
Redmi Note 12 Pro+ - the main sensor changes to Samsung ISOCELL HPX. Crazya resolution of 200 MP, but the sensor is quite compact (although still larger than the Sony IMX766).

Other.

NFC-modules, judging by the specifications, will not be available in all countries, but in those models that are sold on AliExpress, they are. Fingerprint scanners are located on the side. All models have standard audio outputs and IR blasters. Older models do not support memory cards.

What do you think? It seems that Redmi Note 12 Pro+ is quite curious.
