Redmi Note 12 5G Expected Specifications and Features
The Redmi Note 12 5G will be the least expensive device in the lineup. It is the only phone in the series that will be sold on Amazon, while the other devices will be sold on Flipkart. Xiaomi has confirmed that the device will be powered by a Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 chipset. It is the only device in India that uses this processor after the iQOO Z6 Lite. The Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 is built on a 6nm processor and features two Cortex A78 cores clocked at 2.0 GHz.
In terms of display, it will have a 6.67-inch Flat AMOLED screen with a Full HD+ resolution. The display is expected to support a refresh rate of 120Hz, a touch sampling rate of up to 240Hz, and a peak brightness of 1200 nits.
The phone has a 5000mAh battery and supports 33W fast charging. The China variant runs Android 12-based MIUI 13, but we can expect the Redmi Note 12 5G to ship with the latest Android 13-based MIUI 14 in India.
Redmi Note 12 Pro Expected Specifications and Features
In India, the Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G will sit between the Note 12 5G and the Note 12 Pro+ 5G. The company touts its Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) support as a key feature. It will have three rear cameras, including a 50MP Sony IMX766 main sensor. An 8MP ultrawide camera and a 2MP macro camera will also be included in the camera setup. For selfies and video calls, it will have a 16MP camera on the front.
The device will be powered by a Mediatek Dimensity 1080 chipset. It is the same processor as found in the Realme 10 Pro Plus 5G. The System-on-Chip (SoC) will almost certainly be paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. It is expected to ship with Android 13-based MIUI 14.
The Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G will have a 5,000mAh battery with 67W charging support. Finally, the phone will have a 6.67-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display. The display will support a refresh rate of 120Hz, a touch sampling rate of 240Hz, a peak brightness of 900 nits, Dolby Vision, and HDR10+ content.
Redmi Note 12 Pro+ Expected Specifications and Features
The Redmi Note 12 Pro+ will be more expensive than the other models in the lineup. In India, it will be one of the phones with a 200MP camera sensor. The 200MP Samsung HPX sensor will have an aperture of f/1.65 and will support Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS). The rest will be an 8MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro sensor. A 16MP front-facing camera will be used for selfies and video calls.
The specifications of the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ will be the same as those of its sibling, the Note 12 Pro 5G. The phone will have a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution. The display will support a refresh rate of 120Hz, a touch sampling rate of 240Hz, a peak brightness of 900 nits, Dolby Vision, and HDR10+ content.
The Pro+ variant, like the Note 12 Pro, will be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 1080 chipset. Most likely, the processor will be paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. We anticipate that the company will ship its latest device in India with the Android 13-based MIUI 14 operating system.

The Redmi Note 12 Series Looks Exciting, Here’s Why
With 120W charging support, a 200-megapixel camera sensor, a Mediatek Dimensity 1080 chip, and other features, the Redmi Note 12 Series appears to be a significant upgrade over its predecessor.
There aren't many phones in India with such specifications in the mid-range price range. Infinix recently released the Zero Ultra, which has similar specifications but lacks a few features when compared to the Redmi Note 12 Pro+. Redmi is known for its "honest pricing," so it will be interesting to see how the company manages to offer such specifications for less than Rs 30,000 in the country.
We recently took a photo with the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G's 200-megapixel camera, which you can see below.

The Redmi Note 12 5G with a Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 chip will be interesting to test because a device with the same chip performed well the last time we tested it.
