Since its inception, the Redmi Note series has been shaking up the Indian smartphone market. The brand aims to take this to the next level with its upcoming launch as well. It aims to launch 2023 on a high ‘note’ (literally) with three devices from the Redmi Note 12 range. In this article, we will focus on the Redmi Note 12 Pro and Redmi Note 12 Pro+, both of which come with solid spec sheet including MediaTek SoC Dimensity 1080, high resolution cameras, high refresh rate display panels and more. That’s why we’re excited about the Redmi Note 12 Pro duo, and you should too…
Tremendous power in your hands
With an Octa-core processor clocked up to 2.6GHz, the MediaTek Dimensity 1080 can handle anything thrown at it without breaking a sweat. But the chipset isn’t all about extreme power, as it comes with two Cortex-A76 cores and six Cortex-A55 cores running at 2GHz for battery efficiency as well. This means that Redmi Note 12 Pro and Note 12 Pro+ will guarantee you a lag-free experience whether you are performing normal tasks or demanding apps and games. Multitasking is seamless too, all thanks to up to 12GB LPDDR4X RAM. For storage, Redmi Note 12 Pro is available with 128GB or 256GB of memory, while Note 12 Pro+ comes with 256GB of built-in memory.
The graphics are handled by the ARM Mali-G68 MC4 GPU. Pair this with MediaTek HyperEngine 3.0 gaming technologies and gamers will lose track of time as they play their favorite titles.
High-resolution cameras promise sharp results
The Redmi Note 12 Pro+ is specifically designed for shutters as it benefits from support for a 200MP sensor with Dimensity 1080 SoC. Not only does it feature a high resolution camera but it is also the first phone in India with the brand new Samsung HPX sensor. With an aperture of f/1.65, the prime shooter also ensures great photos and videos in low-light conditions. On the other hand, Redmi Note 12 Pro comes with a 50MP Sony IMX766 sensor. Both smartphones offer PDAF for quickly locking focus on a subject, along with OIS to ensure smooth shots. Speaking of video, the duo can capture up to 4K video at 30fps, and slow-motion video can be recorded at 720p at 960fps.
The main camera of Redmi Note 12 Pro and 12 Pro+ is accompanied by an 8 MP f/2.2 ultra wide-angle camera and a 2 MP f/2.4 macro sensor. For selfies, the devices sport a 16-megapixel camera on the front.
Immersive images
What makes the Redmi Note live up to its name is big screen real estate… and that’s what you get with the Redmi Note 12 Pro duo. Both phones are decked out with a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with Full resolution HD+. With a 120Hz refresh rate, you’ll get smooth response whether you’re navigating through the interface or playing compatible games. With adaptive sync, phones deliver a high refresh rate to match the compatible frame rate of your content, and conserve battery power while running regular apps. You’ll also get true-to-life images with support for 1.07 billion colors. The devices also promise an immersive experience while watching movies as it comes with support for both HDR10+ and Dolby Vision.
While we are talking about the graphics, audio plays an equally important role in providing an immersive multimedia experience. Redmi Note 12 Pro and Note 12 Pro+ both come with Dolby Atmos support. Plus, you get rich, powerful output with dual stereo speakers and Hi-Res Audio certification in both wired and wireless modes.
Long lasting and spreads quickly
The Redmi Note 12 Pro and 12 Pro+ draw power from a massive 5,000mAh and 4,980mAh battery respectively. Add to that the energy-efficient MediaTek Dimensity 1080 chip and you won’t need to replenish them before the end of the day, or maybe the next morning.
When you need to power it up, the fast charging technology will come in handy. The Redmi Note 12 Pro+ is the first phone in the Redmi series to feature 120W HyperCharge technology, meaning it will supposedly reach 100% in 19 minutes. The Redmi Note 12 Pro also promises fast charging speeds with its 67W adapter.
Attractive appearance, solid construction
Redmi has made Redmi Note 12 Pro and 12 Pro + a complete package. The hardware catches your eye with its back panel, which comes in both glossy and matte finish with several exciting color options like Stardust Purple. With aluminum rails running along the sides, it has a solid build quality. The screen also has a protective layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 5 against scratches. The duo is also resistant to dust and splashes, thanks to the IP53 certification. With the power button doubles as a fingerprint sensor, authentication is quick too.
We have just scratched the surface of why the Redmi Note 12 Pro and Redmi Note 12 Pro+ could be a game changer. Now we just have to wait until January 5 to find out more about prices and availability. However, what we do know is that they will continue the legacy of the attractively priced Note series. The Redmi Note 12 Pro price in India is expected to be around Rs 25,000, while the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ will be priced around Rs 30,000.
