A few weeks ago, the new generation of affordable Redmi Note 12 smartphones was presented by Xiaomi. A series of devices that will not land in Spain until the first months of next year, but that we already know in advance thanks to the reviews of other media in the world.
Specifically, the analyzes that have come to light have to do with the Redmi Note 12 Pro model , so we are really excited to have a first look at one of the most powerful versions of the family. Join us to discover what this Xiaomi mobile hides inside.
Good performance, but short to play
The Redmi Note 12 Pro continues in the same design line as the previous generation. To do this, bet on straight edges and a flat screen . The model that Gizmochina’s colleagues have analyzed is the new glowing purple color, which shines on its own, giving it a premium look.
The analysis highlights that the weight of 187 grams and the thickness of less than 8 mm make it a very comfortable phone in the hand. At the same time, it ensures that the aesthetic section of this terminal from the Chinese company is quite good for a device that only costs about 240 dollars.
As for the screen, they say that there are no big differences compared to the Redmi Note 11 Pro. However, the screen of the Redmi Note 12 Pro uses a flexible OLED panel , giving a narrower inner bezel. The rest of the specifications in this regard are maintained, offering ideal content playback thanks to FullHD + resolution. The differential aspect here is the Dolby Vision support to improve quality, as well as the 120 Hz refresh rate to provide fluidity along with a maximum brightness of 900 nits.
We have reached one of the high points of the analysis of the Redmi Note 12 Pro by Gizmochina and that is that its performance does not show great changes compared to the previous generation. AnTuTu tests reveal that the MediaTek Dimensity 1080 chip does not have a noticeably higher performance than the Dimensity 920 of the Redmi Note 11 Pro.
This means that you are not going to have any slowdown problem, quite the opposite, although when playing demanding titles it suffers a lot. For example, Genshin Impact has an unstable frame rate that averages around 40 FPS, but there should be no problem locking the frame rate at 30 FPS. The problem that they point out from the review is that there are better smartphones in this regard, such as the Redmi Note 11T Pro itself, which will not reach Spain. Likewise, for how little this phone costs , you don’t have to ask for much more.
The ideal camera of the Redmi Note 12 Pro
When we talk about cheap mobiles, the camera usually offers above-average images without high expectations, especially in night scenes, where this class of devices suffer a lot. On the other hand, the Redmi Note 12 Pro, despite not having a 200 MP lens, has the same Sony IMX766 sensor that OPPO‘s range tops equip inside.
This translates into ideal results thanks to the work of optical image stabilization and zoom increases that do not lose much quality. This main lens is larger than the one on the Redmi Note 11, which ends up meaning more light coming in so dark photos are brighter . In addition, the night mode works perfectly to reduce noise without artificialities, although they indicate that it can be bad in scenarios that are already dark, since it tends to illuminate the lights and darken areas that are already dark beforehand. The only downside is that to get the perfect night shot , you need photography skills to hit the nail on the head.
The wide-angle lens does its job and helps to get varied photos without losing detail. Quite the opposite of what happens with the macro camera that, as usual, its use is relegated to the background. When it comes to recording, the Redmi Note 12 Pro shows better results than its predecessor . This is because it has OIS to stabilize the video. Like the previous model, it allows you to record scenes at 4K and 30 FPS , which is perfect for having memories of your trips at the highest quality.
The last section analyzed by Gizmochina is the battery, where the Redmi Note 12 Pro has a 5,000 mAh battery with 67W fast charge support. They do not indicate a specific duration, but indicate that the autonomy must be very long. According to media data, the mobile consumes 5% battery when using TikTok and recording at 1080p, 4% when playing PUBG and 7% Genshin Impact, being an improvement over the Redmi Note 11 Pro+, the most powerful of its range last year.
