Xiaomi held a big event in India today, where the international debut of the Redmi Note 12 series was marked. In a refreshing change of pace, Redmi Note 12, Redmi Note 12 Pro and Redmi Note 12 Pro+ to be sold in India are identical to their namesakes available in China.
The launch event was for the “Redmi Note 12 Series 5G”, suggesting that Xiaomi may introduce an LTE-only member to the Redmi Note 12 family in the near future.
The Redmi Note 12 comes with a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate and a Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 chipset. It has two cameras on the back, only one of which can be used to produce images: the main camera from 48MP with PDFAF.
The phone is available in green or black and costs INR 15,499 ($187/€175) for the 4/128GB variant or INR 17,499 ($210/€200) for the 6/128GB. Sales begin January 11, with the phone available on Mi.com, Amazon and retail outlets.
The Redmi Note 12 Pro has the same general design, but is actually a bit smaller than its vanilla sibling. It carries a Dimensity 1080 chipset and a 50MP camera, while the 5,000mAh battery supports 67W charging.
The Redmi Note 12 Pro is available in black, blue and pink colors. Prices are INR 24,999 ($300/€285) for the basic 6/128GB version, INR 26,999 ($325/€307) for the mid-range 8/128GB model, and INR 27,999 ( $340/€320) for top 8/256GB spec. Xiaomi is offering discounts of up to ₹3,000 ($37/€35) to early adopters, you can get one from January 11 at Mi stores, Flipkart and partner retailers.
The Redmi Note 12 Pro+ is the leader of the series. It has the same footprint as its non-Plus sibling and shares the OLED panel and 5,000mAh battery, but it’s the first device in India to feature Samsung’s ISOCELL HPX sensor for the 200MP camera. Charging is also lightning fast at 120W and the adapter is provided in the retail box.
The Redmi Note 12 Pro+ will start at ₹25,999 ($315/€295) for the base 8/256GB variant, while the 12/256GB version costs ₹28,999 ($350/€330) with discounts applicable. Color choices are black, white and blue. Just like its Pro sibling, this phone will be available on January 11 at Mi.com, Flipkart and select third-party retailers.

Sadly, the Redmi Note 12 Discovery with 210W charging and a smaller 4,300mAh battery won’t make it outside China, and we are yet to see if the Redmi Note 12 Pro Speed escapes the domestic scene and under what name.
