Manufacturers focus their efforts on improving the components that we know of our mobile phone to achieve optimal performance that benefits the user. For example, AMOLED screens are intended for bright and realistic color reproduction, but the Redmi Note 12 Pro series goes further, employing Diamond Pixel technology for panel operation.
This is an issue that Xiaomi emphasized during the presentation of its new generation of affordable smartphones. It is not just any screen, but it has a unique feature that differentiates it from the standard version of the device.
The special screen of the Redmi Note 12 Pro
The peculiarity of the screen of this Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro is that it uses a flexible panel for its construction compared to the rigid one of the Redmi Note 12 in its base model. Furthermore, this component of this latest device is manufactured directly by Samsung; while that of the Pro variants comes from the Chinese conglomerate made up of TCL, Tianma and Visionox.

For this occasion, an AMOLED screen with Diamond Pixel technology has been chosen for the Redmi Note 12 Pro , but many are unaware of what this means. Before going into depth in the axis of the question, it is important to highlight that this kind of panel is not the first time that it comes to light. This structure debuted at the hands of Samsung with the high-end Galaxy S4. Since then, all the OLED screens of the South Korean brand make use of this technology where, as its name indicates, the pixels are diamond-shaped and not square as usual.
Another difference between the two panel types is that the Diamond Pixel display has twice as many green sub-pixels as red and blue, with the former being smaller than the other two. This has a clear function and that is that the human eye is more sensitive to green light than to red and blue, so the operation of this component causes it to emit the same amount of light, but with less battery consumption and also a lower risk of screen burn-in.
Not all that glitters is gold
They are not all advantages, because, despite the fact that this technology of the Redmi Note 12 Pro benefits the user, there is a certain factor that is detrimental. In this sense, it is necessary to highlight that the screen resolution of the Diamond Pixel panel is lower than that of an RGB one, since there is an imbalance between the green, red and blue sub-pixels.
In addition, there are doubts regarding the set-up of the screen of the Redmi Note 12 Pro, since it is impossible to know who will manufacture one or the other . This translates into a kind of lottery since TCL’s panels are better than Visionox’s, which in turn are better than Tianma’s. So there is no control, so far, on this quality, although we fully trust that Xiaomi has done everything possible and impossible so that the difference is not significant for the consumer.
