Redmi 12 series sells millionth unit in India

Xiaomi's main sub-brand Redmi has celebrated a milestone passed by its 12 series, a pair of Android smartphones with a variant powered by a 5G chipset. Their shipments have now gone into seven figures, despite having only been on sale since August 4, 2023 via channels such as Amazon.

The 12 5G is credited with fuelling Xiaomi India's "5G revolution" by debuting as India's "1st Phone" to combine a 120Hz Super AMOLED display with a Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 SoC at a reasonable price, while the 4G/LTE-only 12 has proven popular by offering the same rear cameras set in a "Crystal Design" rear panel for even less. Both start for under INR 19,999 (~US$240) in India, although that is because they have base models with the increasingly outdated spec of 4GB in RAM.

Xiaomi has expressed appreciation for the "unwavering support, love, and trust" of India's Redmi fans in propelling the series to its current best-selling status. The OEM now plans to "forge new paths, break boundaries, and redefine the future of technology" in the future.
