Xiaomi's sub-brand, Redmi has just released the Redmi Note 12 5G Series in the Chinese market. There are four models of the Redmi Note 12 Series launched by Xiaomi, consisting of the Redmi Note 12, Redmi Note 12 Pro, Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus, and the Redmi Note 12 Explorer Edition.
Redmi Note 12 Pro Specifications
The Redmi Note 12 Pro has the same screen size, resolution and refresh rate as the "regular" Redmi Note 12. However, this type of smartphone screen is a little more capable because it adopts OLED which is claimed to have more than 1 billion colors with brightness reaching 900 nits.
Redmi Note 12 Pro is equipped with three rear cameras that are loaded in a square module, consisting of a 50 MP main camera, an 8 MP ultrawide camera, and a 2 MP macro camera. There is also a 16 MP selfie camera loaded in the punch hole module.
In terms of performance, the Redmi Note 12 Pro uses the Mediatek Dimensity 1060 chipset in collaboration with 6GB/8GB/12GB RAM and 128GB/256GB storage. The battery capacity of the Redmi Note 12 Pro is the same as the Redmi Note 12. However, charging this cellphone battery will be faster because it supports charging up to 67 watts or slightly below the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus.
Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus Specifications
Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus is equipped with more or less the same specifications as the Redmi Note 12 Pro with 5G network support.
There is a slight difference, namely in the main camera whose resolution rises to 200 MP (Isocell HPX).
This camera sensor that belongs to Samsung has a number of advantages, including being able to produce images with 4 trillion colors (14-bit).
Then, the camera sensor of the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus can also adjust the detail and size of the image according to environmental conditions. If it is considered bright, the phone will automatically activate the 200 MP shooting mode.
If it turns out that we are in dark conditions, the cellphone camera will use the 12.5 MP mode with the help of 16-in-1 pixel binning technology to improve photo details.
Apart from the camera features, the support for fast charging technology used by the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus is also said to be more capable with around 120 watts of power.
