Say hello to the Redmi 12, Xiaomi’s just announced entry-level phone with good specs at a good price.

Let’s open it from the box, then we’ll examine both. Similar to entry-level Galaxy phones, the Redmi 12 comes with a USB cable, but it also manages to slip into a case. There’s no charger, however, so you’ll need to supply your own – the phone supports 18W charging.
