The top of the line phone in the Note 12 series is a direct successor to the Redmi Note 11 Proand 5G ( Review) that didn't prove to be an industry leader, like many had wanted we believe. Xiaomi is looking to fill that gap by launching Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G. Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G. It comes with some segment-specific hardware. The main characteristic of the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G phone is its primary camera that has a resolution of 200 megapixels. It's also the most efficient chargeable Redmi Note, ever. But, the combination of segment-first and premium hardware has resulted in a more expensive price. In addition to being significantly larger than Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G, it's in the same category as that of Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge ( Review).

Its Redmi Note 12 Pro+5G is still able to provide an excellent feel when held due to it's glass-based body. The rear of the phone curves the flat frame of plastic which makes it at ease to hold for extended periods despite it weighing around 208 grams.

Xiaomi provided us with our the Arctic White colour of the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G. According my opinion, has the most beautiful design of the bunch. The glossy texture makes the phone appear striking and elegant. Despite the glossy finish white can hide smudges and fingerprints significantly better than The Obsidian black as well as Iceberg Blue colours. What I didn't love most was the fact that the phone shakes too much when you use it on a flat surface because of the camera's protruding.

Its Redmi Note 12 Proand 5G will continue to have an 3.5mm audio jack located at the top of the phone, alongside an auxiliary cutout for the second speaker as well as a microphone cutout, and the IR emitter. It does come with two speakers, which doubles as a second outlet. The output from both speakers is quite loud, however at maximum volume, there is some slight distortion. I prefer listening to the speakers at around 70 percent volume to get an ideal balance of quality and volume.

The Realme 10 Pro+ 5G ( Review) has a slight advantage in comparison to that of the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G when it comes down to multimedia experience according to my personal view. The curving edge display with slim bezels provides an immersive experience for viewing. It's just an individual preference, and If you're someone who likes flat displays and a flat screen, this Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G is not a disappointment. The screen refreshes at intervals of 30Hz, 60Hz, 90Hz, and 120Hz, according to the display's content.

Regarding software in terms of software, the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G runs its Android 12 based MIUI 13 custom skin out-of-the-box However, I would like to have the latest MIUI 14 skin which is built upon Android 13 as opposed to. Xiaomi hasn't revealed specifics of the release date, but it has said that this phone would run Android 13 as well as Android 14 along with the four-year security updates.

MIUI 13 continues to be rich in features and has a range of customization options. It has the wildly popular Floating Windows feature, along with a customisable Always-on-Display (AoD). MIUI 13 is also primarily about enhancements to the system like an optimized processing priority, file storage optimization as well as other. Also, you get the Privacy Dashboard and permission manager and support for the latest widgets, etc.

It is worth noting that the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G is not running Android 13 straight out of the box.

Its MIUI 13 update also promised to offer better management of RAM when it was launched last year and has kept that promise for the greater part. The majority of background apps remain stored in the memory Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G with the exception of some heavy ones that were able to reload from time to time. There are some software bloatware applications, but you are able to remove the ones that are not needed.

Redmi Note 12 Pro5G connectivity and battery life

It's the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G has a new CPU over its previous Snapdragon 695 processor. Based on the price and specifications it's possible to see it as an upgrade to it's predecessor, the Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge, even while it appears to be an upgrade that is comparatively minor. But, that doesn't suggest that it isn't capable. Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G's performance isn't a great thing since it's competent for the everyday tasks.

Multitasking apps, multitasking or using the phone to play games The Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G can do it all with ease. It was my first time playing Call of Duty: Mobile as well as Asphalt 9 Legends and the game was very effortless. The game's predecessor supports Max framerate and has 'Low graphics, but if you do not mind playing with a 'Very High' framerate, you are able to play with the graphics at 'Very High' settings to provide a visually appealing, and seamless gaming experience.

Do you think this Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G overheat when playing games for long durations? The answer is no. It could have to do with the cold temperatures in the northern part of India during this time of year, or perhaps the vapour cooling chamber in the phone is performing as it is supposed to do. I played for 45 minutes straight and did not notice any decrease in performance. However, it did get hot while running through the AnTuTu tests, and the phone scored 4,38678 points. This was slightly less than the Realme 10 Pro+ 5G's score of 5,046,626 points with the same processor.

Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G cameras

The most prominent characteristic in the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G is the camera setup. It has 200-megapixel Samsung HPX primary camera sensor and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, and a 2 megapixel macro sensor. I also asked Xiaomi why they're not making phones with the well-loved 5-megapixel tele-macro sensor, which is found in devices like that of the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max ( Review). The company blamed problems with supply chains as the primary reason and forced the replacement of the sensor with a macro camera of 2 megapixels that it claims is still quite powerful. For selfies the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ comes with the front camera's resolution of 16 megapixels. When it's dark, the camera's performance is also impressive , as it is able to effectively expose shadows without creating many noise. The photos taken in Night mode appear a bit soft, and this could be due to the raunchy noise reduction algorithm. Highlights too are in check. What I was the most satisfied with was the way the night sky appeared real to the image and was not blueish. I believe that Xiaomi should improve the Portrait blur effect in the mode, that was too harsh to the point that it appeared fake. The overall processing used in this mode was also slightly intense. Redmi Note 12 Proand 5G primary camera samples (Top to bottom from top to bottom: Photo mode night mode, Portrait mode, Night Mode and Portrait Mode) The ultra-wide camera has 120 degrees of field of view. While it gives a greater view but there is distortion at the edges, and, despite the fixes made by software it's noticeable. The color temperature can be a bit different with ultra-wide images appearing somewhat warmer. Also, I noticed nearly all ultra-wide images taken on the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G have a slight pink hue.

Verdict

It is the Redmi Note 12 Pro+, 5G version that comes with numerous upgrades over its predecessor or perhaps predecessors. It is up to you to choose what phone is actually successful. It is a top pick for its excellent build quality outstanding display, top of the line camera performance, and rapid charging. It has a an adequate battery life as a powerful performance device. Its fact that the phone does not have Android 13 on the first day and that it will not be until 2023 is perhaps the most disappointing thing about it. The phone will receive an Android 13 update as soon as possible. Although it's true that the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G wasn't the most straightforward or obvious choice for the market however, the Note 12 Pro+ 5G is able to make up for this by providing a quality design and a complete experience. The phone may be among the priciest Redmi Note in the series in its history, but If you leave aside the title and take a look at the features it has the phone ticks every box.
