DIMAPUR — Chinese smartphone maker, Xiaomi, just launched its latest budget Android device in India called the Redmi 12 5G.
The new Redmi 12 5G is an upgraded 5G-enabled version of the Redmi 12 smartphone launched in the country just last month. The device is identical to its non-5G sibling except for the SoC and cameras. The new Redmi 12 5G is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 which the company claims is the first device in India to use the 4nm processor. The older Redmi 12 used the less-powerful Mediatek Helio G88 as its processor.
The device features a 6.79-inch Full HD+ LCD with a 90 Hz refresh rate. Also, there is a 5,000 mAh battery which supports 18W fast charging. In terms of photography capabilities, the Redmi 12 5G uses 50MP f/1.8 as its main sensor paired with a 2MP f/2.4 macro lens. There is an 8MP front-facing camera on the front for selfie duties.
Operating on MIUI 14, built on the reliable Android 13 platform, the Redmi 12 5G promises a smooth and user-friendly interface, enhancing the overall user experience. The device marks a significant change in design with its stunning glass back, making it the first-ever Redmi number series to feature this aesthetic touch. Moreover, the phone impressively maintains a slim profile, measuring just below 8.2 mm in thickness.
#Redmi12 5G is here to disrupt the market and start the #5GRevolution.
