Xiaomi presented the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ in China last October, which will debut in India tomorrow together with the Redmi Note 12 and Redmi Note 12 Pro (there are no plans for the Explorer Edition yet). The Note 12 range will be the successor to the 11i series, at least in India, as the company has confirmed to us that there will be no 12i or 12i HyperCharge in the Asian country. This makes Redmi Note 12 Pro+ a spiritual successor to the 11i HyperCharge, which is known in some countries as Redmi Note 11 Pro+. While there is also a Redmi Note 11 Pro+ in India, that one has different specs.

We don’t have the Indian prices of these Note 12 series smartphones yet, but we have already got our hands on the Redmi Note 12 Pro+, so let’s see what it is.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro+ comes in a black retail box, which includes the protective case, a SIM card eject tool, a USB-C cable, a 120W charger and the usual documentation. We received the Arctic White model, but there will be two more options: Obsidian Black and Iceberg Blue.

The display also has a punch hole in the center for the 16MP selfie camera. However, despite featuring an AMOLED screen, the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ doesn’t come with an in-display fingerprint scanner as Xiaomi has opted for a side-mounted solution, which we found fast and accurate in the short time we spent with it. the phone.

The back panel of the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ is also covered with glass, but Xiaomi hasn’t revealed which one exactly. The back of the smartphone has subtle curves around the edges, making it easier to grip than those with flat panels. However, it was easily spotted and many users may find it cumbersome.

The rear panel sports a triple camera setup consisting of 200MP primary (ISOCELL HPX), 8MP ultrawide (120° FOV) and 2MP macro unit. The 200MP camera has OIS for photos and videos (including 4K at 30 FPS) and can capture 10-bit RAW images.
