Most of us know the Xiaomi brand which owns the popular Redmi Note series. The company recently launched its latest flagship Note 12 series in the Indian market. The company highlights the main key features of the device in terms of camera and performance. We recently got our hands on the latest Redmi Note 12 5G smartphone which is priced at Rs 17,999. We have been using this device as our flagship smartphone for a few weeks now, and below is our experience for your understanding.
see and feel it
The new Redmi Note 12 has a different design from its predecessor, the Redmi Note 11, which had an all-black camera module, but the new Note 12 has a minimalist and sleek camera module. The device has a glossy finish on the camera module with a matte back panel.

I received the shade Mystique Blue for review and it looks nice and bright. The back has a less glossy back, but less smudges, so the company has packaged it in a box with a clean back, which makes the device stick to it spotlessly. The Note 12 is lightweight and has a seamless body that can be used with one hand. In addition, this device has rounded edges that make it easier to hold the device. But the device is certainly not scratch-resistant, so you'll need a back cover to protect the device from unwanted scratches while you're carrying it around.
appearance
This phone comes with a bright and vibrant 6.67-inch AMOLED display. The screen provides high color accuracy. Of course, you can switch to the Vivid preset if you find the screen dimming. I played some Full HD videos which worked flawlessly and motion was very smooth indeed.
Software and performance
This device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 processor which can run faster and handle multitasking well. The device can easily handle your daily usage, from playing games to watching movies, everything is handled smoothly. The best part about this device is that even during heavy use it does not get hot even during long and heavy gaming sessions.
I'd like to mention right away that if you have a good internet connection, games can run smoothly, but due to network fluctuations, graphics can be compromised (in my experience). I played games like Asphalt 9, Relic Run, and Sniper 3D which worked fine, but the racing games were a little choppy at times.
The speakers work fine at this price, nothing fancy, you can even watch seriously without headphones as they are quite loud when you're in the room.
Battery life
When multi-tasking, browsing social networks, watching movies, listening to music, playing games and answering calls, this device can work flawlessly for 5-7 hours. The 5000 mAh battery is good but could use some optimization when we talk about portability and it drains fast at times. But the fast charging support pays off and can charge the device within an hour.
I use the device quite intensively, and when I used the new Redmi Note 12, I was a little surprised that the device drains the battery quite quickly, despite the 5000 mAh battery (compared to the OnePlus Nord 2T, Oppo Reno series and some other devices already available in the market within the same price range). I'm sure the company can fix this issue in a future update.
camera
The phone has a 48MP main camera for nice and clear landscape shots without clicking. There's an 8MP ultra wide secondary camera for wider and bigger shots; Trust me, it has some shooting issues, but it can capture a large area in a clear frame. And for close-up photography, there is a 2 megapixel macro lens, which is more than enough for close-up photography.
I have to say the daylight photos are excellent with all the detail and in low light you'd think the camera could be more efficient.
decision
Overall, the new Redmi Note 12 is a good device with 20K range, 5G support and a bright and clear display. While we had issues with the battery, this is justified by the 33W fast charging which can easily charge the device within an hour. The only thing that could be better, in my opinion, is the camera, which was a highlight of the campaign at launch.
The device is priced at Rs 19,999 for the 6GB + 128GB storage variant, which is certainly a good bargain in the 20,000 range, but will definitely be up against brands like OnePlus Nord CE2/CE2 Lite, Samsung Galaxy F23 5G. , Oppo, Realme Narzo 50 5G for under Rs 20,000.
