Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro in for review

23 March 2023
Are the 50MP camera and 'only' 67W charging reasonable compromises?

What happend to Redmi Note 12 PRO? I just got it and it has this 5000mah battery!!! So I expected over 1 day of moderate use, but I was surprised... I had 20% remaining after 20 hours of standby with 2 hours of screen time on whatsapp and only a few minutes of calls.
At battery System Launcher and Android system have consumed most of the battery.
I just hope that I had bad luck and it's something just with my phone.
I saw reviews where everybody says that it lasts 2 days of moderate use, but maybe they count 2 days if it passes after 24:00...

      Very bad indian version i bought and one phone i bought and when i talk on normal calls sound goes off cant hear anything and than it comes backs.. due to this phone seller gave me a new fone in exchange and the same happened with that phone also.. not good to buy just full of bugs.. call recorder also not available and even installing a call recorder will not work..

        It's already being sold for around 330€ (6/128).
        That being said, I'm still using my Mi8 lite which I bought new for like 160€. I've owned the original redmi note 4g, redmi 4x, and now mi8 lite for the last 3 years. Xiaomi used to be the king of value phones and I consider myself an o.g. supporter. I'm sad that's not the case anymore.
        For comparison, the "older" pixel 6a costs the same, has better software and better SoC, far better cameras, with no bloatware or commercials baked in. Headphone jack is the only thing going for the 12 pro, they even dumped the sd card support. Note 11 series was a downgrade, even from my mi8 lite. With these prices, xiaomi is competing with the big boys now, but I think they're gonna have to offer a lot more, at least for my money.

          It's lock like oneplus nord CE 2

                        Please do a small comparison of the stock camera with Gcam . I observed more details in stock camera images than any of Gcam . please confirm your findings

                          Finally, has not even been sold in many countries but this phone is one of the most eagerly awaited. A good upgrade from the Note 11 Pro, this is why.. More expensive But we know that other brands also increase prices, right?

                            Well… I'm waiting the review of Redmi Note 12 Pro+.

                                        Why do these news never talk about it's CPU ? Like we know it's Dimensity 1080 but thats not in the news. It's always screen size, what type of panel, then how much ram and storage like these are the main things about phones.

                                        For me main thing is CPU that i care to know as the rest is same as on every phone basically right now. Extra large AMOLED 120hz screen and a lot of RAM with typical size of storage.
                                        There is like brands that have 128GB as standard now and dont give lower amount so who cares about that ?
