Decent for Everyday Use, but Performance and Charging Need Improvement
This phone is suitable for basic, everyday tasks like calls, messaging, and light browsing. However, it struggles with performance, showing noticeable lag even when only a small portion of the internal memory is used.
It’s not ideal for gaming or running resource-intensive apps, as the lag becomes more apparent. Additionally, the long charging time is a significant drawback, which might inconvenience users on the go.
While it works well for casual use, those looking for smooth performance or quick charging may want to explore other options.

So it seems that this phone will actually get Android 16 based on Xiaomitime. Interesting...

I made a little test since I still have this phone (and it received some updates). I run Asphalt 9 on fully charged phone and wattmeter says 6.0-6.5W then I tried the same on Oppo Reno 4 5G (7nm I think) and it says 2.8-3.2W. Even when you consider different (Amoled) display. This chipset is power efficiency nightmare. SD 4 gen 2 on 4 nm has twice the power consunption ot SD 765G.

Anonymous, 24 Jun 2024Put the phone on 4g mode and 60hz refresh rate to increase ... moreIt's mind blowing seeing Qualcomm still struggling with managing heat on 4nm until forcing users to tweak especially after paying high price for better performance.
I think we should send them strong and clear message in order to force them to improve.

I feel like Qualcomm is pushing the number too hard especially after SD 870, and making the new ones too unstable causing heating / throttling issues, meaning their research / development isn't catching up with Apple.
Maybe they should reform or change direction to better efficiency or something they can actually achieve?

Anonymous, 23 May 2024Does anyone have low volume on earpiece during calls? I use it on my bike with radiko,
but it's a little small. It's hard to hear on noisy roads.
But I wonder if it's good for the safety of my bike.

Deeni131 , 23 Aug 2024Please guys, is this phone really heating too much? And is ... moreIt can heat too much if you used hotspot,5G or pushing the phone way more than it should.
Snapdragon 4 gen 2 is not particularly strong in graphic so it will struggle and heat up when you use app with high intensive graphic.
So far using the phone, I think that it kept overheating since I always use hotspot and downloading something using 5G so better you find other phone if you are someone like me.

I bought this phone 15 days ago. The phone is OK, but the battery life is horrible. on Sim data, it doesn't beat a simple 3000 MAH battery phone. i would advise to go for better option. Redmi 13 etc.

David, 21 Jun 2024I can confirm heating and performance issues on this phone.... morePut the phone on 4g mode and 60hz refresh rate to increase battery life reduce heating issues. 5g currently is battery killer even on 4nm. Things might improve when we move to 3nm-2nm manufacturing process in few years. Use 5g only to download something, else 4g will suffice.

David, 21 Jun 2024I can confirm heating and performance issues on this phone.... moreMy dad owns POCO M6 Pro 5G which is same as Redmi 12 5G. I have used it extensively. Battery life is amazing. Phone is extremely fast. It does not have heating problem. Snapdragon 4 gen 2 is extremely fast for day to day task if you pair it with 6 GB ram. Disable all the bloatware using adb. You can use "Universal Android Debloater" to disable bloatware. After that phone will be amazingly fast. Search Google how to do this.
