Weekly poll results: Xiaomi has (mostly) hit the bullseye with the Redmi Note 12 series

13 November 2022
Predictably, few will get the exotic Explorer edition model. However, the Redmi Note 12 Pro and Pro+ are shaping up to be a popular choice.

Sin, 20 Nov 2022This smartphone makes no sense at all Just too much crazyn... moreYeah, too unbalanced that its current line-up phone's longevity is questionable along with buggy UI.
My Redmi Note 9 Pro didn't last 3 years without software bug and already can't connect WiFi and data cellular despite been resetted 2 times. And that's after updating to MIUI 13
Meanwhile my Galaxy A3 2017 still strong to this day and can connect WiFi despite stuck in Android 8.0.

Never trust Xiaomi anymore, NEVER.

      As soon as I found out that the Note 12 series has no microSD slot, my new note 11 pro+ was an instant buy. Couldn't be happier. I've been a xiaomi fan since my first xiaomi phone, the "red rice". Then I got the Redmi Note 2, then redmi 4X, Note 7 Pro and now the 11 Pro+. Good enough to last me 5 more years.

        Anonymous, 17 Nov 2022xiaomi is not a very transparent company so you can take ... moreMan that quality controll makes zero difference. Most phones last as long as your warranty and once your warranty is done for your device usualy too.
        In case of xiaomi top models could alst 3-4 years but after 2 on a carriers motnhly plan you buy new device,
        Having for example Iphone 8 updates to latest IOS and installed all new fresh apps inside but unable to run them because of low ram and outdated hardware wont satisfy anyone.
        So havng a best of best now is not as great as it looks.
        For example Iphone 14 pro max will be same. In 2028 will still receive updates but apart a brownser and few apps like Tik Tok whatsapp you will not run many games because 5-6 ears old hardware wont keep up.

          At same price level as Samsung Xiaomi can output, deliver, make 2to 10 times better device than Samsung ever be.

            calm down fanboy. Do a teardown, you'll see how many of Apple's products are truly Apple made. Apple is a very good assembler but not a manufacturer of it's parts. Don't be so naive.

              Ah yes. I forgor 💀 that the A16 Bionic was made and researched by Xiaomi, that iOS is just a skin of MIUI Android, that TSMC (producer of almost all smartphone processors including the A16) is owned, and that every single "innovation" by Apple was actually made first by Xiaomi. Apple doesn't have an R&D team, Tim Apple is actually just sending out spies to Xiaomi's headquarters and stealing ideas from them. I absolutely loved the original iPhone when it was first unveiled by Xiaomi in 2006. I loved how Xiaomi's then CEO first revealed the iPod in 2001 and how the Macintosh was created by a degree of quality that only Xiaomi could reach. Yes, it was Xiaomi that did those things.

                        "So, phones like the future Nokia N73, Xiaomi and Moto models might be breaking the ice and using the first generation of 200 MP sensors which Samsung didn’t find too good for its flagship model.

                        So, here is what we are aware of and what this info is presenting. First of all, the chances to get Nokia N73 are kinda slim, but a successor for Nokia 8.3 5G is much needed. Also, we know that Nokia Mobile is planning a new X series phone for the third or fourth quarter of 2022 and now it seems that the company has first gen of Samsung’s new 200 MP camera at its disposal since this sensor is not good enough for Samsung Galaxy 23 but good and cheap enough for a propper Nokia midranger, as well as Xiaomi and Moto ones."

                          We all know apple cost maybe 400 to make and 2000 to sell.
                          Compared to that genuinely same device made by Xiaomi would cost not more than 1000 or maybe 1200 at 1TB but not 2200.
                          And i am saying genuinely same.
                          DFifference is fact Apple litterary every single phone, air pad, air pods, Mi pad, Laptop etc buys from foxcon but they never invented a single thing.

                          Xiaomi makes everything own apart few things which msot company shares like Sony or Samsung camera, Boe screens etc.
                          But they assembly their own device instead of paying another company to do it.

                            By the way it was just few bucks.

                              But it wasnt unpolished or unfinished if it really was no other brand would use it.
                              Thats all i really wanted to say.

                                Samsung innovated most of that not all many they copied from others.
                                Xiaomi did same and even better.
                                And if samsung innovated this phone charger : pd pps , wireless charging then why the hell their 1500 eur device uses laughable 20W charging speeds when xiaomi is at 210W.
                                By the way Samsung was so great they were litterary only one among all phone brands with exploding flammable batteries Note 7.
                                Among them only Apple battery gate was another charging battery issue no other brand ever had battery issues as long as i remember.
                                Wish you a very nice day.

                                  Thats the said fact.
                                  Since every cell phone operator i mean network carrier and most electronic stores sells xiaomi customer service is vendor dependable.
                                  What you said is pure nonsense and worst of that is fact you know it but you have to say something stupid anyway just to look jealous among others on this page.
                                  Wrong you failed and we all know that.
                                  Rest been said.
                                  Bloatware is bad regardless of the brand only Google, Motorola, Nokia and maybe Oneplus with close to stock android Oxygen OS and Nothing phone with Nothing UI wjhich is also near stock android are different.
                                  Be my guest.
                                  A pleasure to explain and educate you most basic things.
