Laggiest phone I have ever used. Also Glass Protection 3 is almost useless as I have only used the phone for 1 month and the screen is smudged up so bad to a point where playing games is downright impossible. Meanwhile my old phone from 2021, still works fine, and the screen still works despite occasional drops.

    I've been using this phone for one year now(Redmi note 12 4g,8gb ram, 128gb storage). The phone is great no question about that, if anyone tells this phone is slow it's clearly a fake one or it's the 4gb ram version.

    I use the device for daily social media i can get 7 to 8 hours 20-100 battery with this. 5min of charging - 10% battery gain. The only COMPLAIN i have is the camera app is garbage, NOT THE CAMERA its the CAMERA APP, i installed gcam and it drastically changed the picture quality.

    I play cod mobile sometimes and the phone heats up after 3 multiplayer matches, Insane multitasking (2 apps as split screen + 2 floating windows = 4 apps at once). Display is amoled so it has great colours and pitch black.

    During the first days of using this device(released in January i think) it did felt quite laggy on the animations, now i can clearly say it is fixed after the newer updates.

    I bought this phone in my country for about 58000rupees (194$) so the price was unmatched during that time.

    I live in a south asian country so it's warm out here and i wouldn't blame the heating. Well the phone doesn't boil when doing little things it only heats when playing high process games, direct sunlight usage and camera(this isn't concerning all phones with advance cameras heat up, that's how they work).

    My thoughts are this phone is worth buying, but only buy the 6gb or the 8gb ram one.

      do NOT buy this phone, i was unlucky enough to get it for my birthday, i realized a few months later, it can bend. Like most Redmi phones, i did once have a 10C, but it bent horribly.

      I am going to get a samsung/iphone after my other birthday happens.

        This phone is not good for heavy gaming. If you want the cheapest gaming 4G processor buy a Helio G99.

My father bought t... moreAnd nah, he didn't buy at the official Redmi store, he bought it from a phone retailer because in our place malls have many phone retailers (e.g: Aerophone, Games and Gadgets, etc) Besides, the official Xiaomi redmi store has Redmi Note 13, Pro and Pro plus. They even advertised it outside, and they even had appliances which I find it cool.

            This phone's performance is so bad. My father bought this for me because the sellers at the mall said that "it's good for gaming as it is for gaming amoled". Talking about bad grammar and I also told my father to refund the phone as there is a similar phone at that price that has the Snapdragon 695, Stereo speakers, 108mp camera. (I was talking about the Oneplus nord Ce3 lite bc it's at the same price with redmi) but my father didn't listen. Now I used my old phone (because it is better)

                          My father bought it and it's kinda decent for it's price. Problem is that it lags when recording a game. Still wish he bought a POCO X6

                            It'll be 8 months on July 2nd, and all I can say that it's a perfect daily driver for social media people. Yes, it has irksome bugs here and there, but barely problematic. Further, my Note 12 has good battery life; it's giving me a solid 7-8 hours SOT for social media and video content consumption. My gaming experience has been okay-ish with medium graphics games. No, the Redmi Note 12 isn't a phone built for PUBG/FREEFIRE/CODM-esque games. Although you can play these games, but at a cost; battery drains, throttling, heating, etc. In other words, you'll stress out the phone and cut its age to half - or less.

                            P.S. I'm using black themes/wallpapers to keep the Amoled screen going hale and hearty for at least 2 years.

                            P.S.S I definitely recommend this phone to social media people. Last but not least: nor better, camera sucks big time.

                                      I've been seeing a few positive experiences with HyperOS on this phone here lately. As I mentioned, this could be due to the higher RAM. I did hear that HyperOS is best for phones with 8GB RAM, and that any bugs and lag will improve over time with updates and as your phone adjusts to the new operating system. I also heard that HyperOS works better with Android 14 phones than the Android 13 that comes with this phone. I don't think that is the case for phones with 4GB RAM.

                                      My advice to all users is that if you are enjoying the current MIUI, don't risk its performance just for frivolous features, like Magazine wallpapers and photo Cutouts. As I said, the new wallpaper is not even available to all phones with HyperOS. There are plenty of wallpaper options in the Themes app anyway. Remember, you can update to a new OS anytime, but you cannot reverse it, not without installing an unofficial custom ROM that invalidates your manufacturer's guarantee. You can try rolling it back by unlocking bootloader, but I haven't seen anyone attempt this on HyperOS yet, and it will cause data loss. A factory reset will not bring back the previous OS. Only consider updating if you're unhappy with the current speed, battery life, stability and security, when apps and features stop working or become incompatible with your device, and after you've tried everything else to fix these problems.

                                      To those who enjoy MIUI and those who newly purchased this device, here's how you can improve your experience, remove ads from system apps, and prevent your phone from updating to HyperOS (without root):

                                      1. When setting up your new phone, under Additional Settings, turn off Automatic System Updates and Personalised Ads.

                                      2. Disable Updater and MIUI System Ads (msa) in Authorisation & Revocation. Optional: Disable MIUI Daemon (tracker) and System Apps Updater or disable Auto Updates in System Apps Updater. Enable Developer Options and turn off Automatic System Updates. Click on Reset to Default Values several times and turn off MIUI Optimisation to increase RAM usage.

                                      3. Turn off Recommendations under About in File Manager Settings, and turn off Show Ads and Personalised Recommendations in Themes Settings. Optional: Apply a private DNS provider host name, such as Adguard. Note that this may prevent ads you do want and may affect internet connectivity.

                                      4. Uninstall all preinstalled non-system apps you don't use. Optional: Download a third-party app like Activity Launcher, to create shortcuts for hidden system features, like Dual Apps and Second Space (may cause data loss).

                                      5. Apply App Lock to Updater, Gallery, File Manager etc, and hide your Settings and Security icons in a folder or app tray to prevent yourself from making accidental changes to your phone.

                                      6. If you're having trouble multitasking, regularly clear your cache and make use of the floating windows feature. Turn on and increase the Memory Extension to create virtual ram. You can also enable background Autostart for your most important apps, and set them to No Restrictions so that the apps aren't affected by the battery saver.

                                      7. If you want to prevent lagging on a particular app or make your app feel smoother while gaming, do the opposite of the above, or adjust the refresh rate from 60 to 120hz.

                                      8. Enjoy your phone! Download your favourite apps and sync all your devices. Organise your home screen with widgets and folders. Personalise your display, sound, keyboard, always-on and lockscreen, drop down menu, status bar, wallpaper, battery saver, default search engine and browser, and notifications. Close your windows often, delete unimportant files and unused apps, set up cloud storage, back-up, and Find Device. Add a microSD card, anti-virus if needed, and reboot your phone now and then.

                                      Unlike installing an OS update, all of these changes can be undone very easily.

                                      Another CON I've discovered is that the MIUI 14 on budget phones has far fewer features than MIUI 14 on Xiaomi's top-of-the-line models. The MIUI 14 on this phone is more like MIUI 13. That being said, it's still worlds better than HyperOS, from my experience, which itself lacks many features on budget phones for global customers. If only Xiaomi had improved the features for budget phones, instead of releasing a new OS with even fewer features...

                                      I think I've covered all that I know. I recently had a bad dream that I lost my phone, and then lost my mind on the lovely sweet person who found it and updated it for me... I need to take a break, lol.

                                      My last comment's location was HDW.

                                        My Redmi Note 12 4G is Now more than 7 months old and i upgrade it already in Hyper Os last 1st week of February 2024 and untill now my phone is still doing great , it can last a whole day in my casual ussage in Standard 60 Hertz screen refresh rate using Data network in 90 percent Screen brightness on swipping and browsing Social Media app and Google Crome and I've been always set the speaker in 40 to 60 percent in watching movie's..I didn't fully charge my phone since I bought it , when I'm charging the device I used to always check the phone when it's

When it comes to performance it was the same as before I upgrade it from Miui to Hyper Os, Wifi and Data connection is very good . Application's can be open very fast and the screen is mooth , also playing Mobile Legends in this phone in very high graphics and ultra frame rate is nice but the Phone temperature is depends on the ambient of your place if it's hot or cold but even flagship phone's can heat up when playing games if you max all the setting's specially if you're in a hot erea and your not using phone coller ... INFORMATION: All phones had this issue not only some, If you are playing games and when your phones application got an update in Play store while you we're playing online games it will appect your playing you will experience log even your phone is not heating up because you're in a cold room or place or you are using electric fan to your phone and the internet nor data connection is good because phones Frame per second will instantly gonna reduce more than 5 seconds and sometimes more than a seconds , everybody experience this issue specially all Android user's but only few knows the reason why . . .
