Verdict

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro (8GB+256GB) is a competitively priced mid-range smartphone, featuring a vibrant 6.67-inch FHD+ AMOLED 120Hz display and a capable MediaTek Dimensity 1080 5G processor for smooth performance. Its strong points include a respectable 50MP main camera with optical image stabilization (OIS) for clear photos, a large 5000mAh battery with 67W fast charging, and dual stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos. However, it is held back by the presence of bloatware and in-system ads, subpar secondary cameras (8MP ultrawide and 2MP macro), and the lack of a microSD card slot for expandable storage.
