What we like about Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G (8GB + 128GB)

  • Vibrant, flowing 120Hz AMOLED display with Dolby Vision support, offering deep blacks and a great viewing experience for media consumption.
  • Good all-day or longer battery life (5000mAh capacity) with impressive 67W turbo charging that powers up the device very quickly.
  • Solid performance for daily tasks and even decent for gaming at its price point, powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G chip.
  • The 108MP main camera captures a good amount of detail and crystal clarity in well-lit conditions.
  • Attractive and premium design, often with a fingerprint-resistant frosted finish.
  • Includes useful extra features like a 3.5mm headphone jack, NFC, IR blaster, and dual stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support.
  • Offers good value for money compared to higher-end flagships.

What we don't like about Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G (8GB + 128GB)

  • Inconsistent and often poor camera performance in low light or for video recording; some users report issues with AI and HDR processing resulting in dull or purple-toned photos.
  • Software optimization (MIUI/HyperOS) is a common complaint, with reports of stuttering, lagging when multitasking, poor 120Hz performance in some apps, and general bugginess.
  • Performance can be worse than expected, lagging with multiple apps open and sometimes overheating or throttling under load.
  • Comes with bloatware and occasional ads in the UI.
  • The ultra-wide and macro cameras are considered lackluster compared to the main sensor.
  • Older Android version (Android 11 or 12) out of the box at launch, which can feel outdated.
  • Some users report specific technical issues like random reboots, lost network connections, or the screen becoming unresponsive after a normal reboot.

Verdict

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G is a mid-range smartphone featuring a smooth 6.67-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and Dolby Vision support. It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G processor, alongside 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The camera system includes a 108MP main sensor, an 8MP ultrawide, and two 2MP sensors (macro and depth), complemented by a 16MP selfie camera. Notable pros include its fast 67W wired charging for the 5000mAh battery, a durable IP53 splash-resistant design, and dual stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos. However, some drawbacks include its older Android 11 OS at launch, the presence of bloatware and occasional software quirks with MIUI, and inconsistent color accuracy between the main and ultrawide cameras.
