Xiaomi has outlined the release date for the Redmi Note 12 series in India. Arriving after Christmas, the Redmi Note 12 series will top out at the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus in India, which will feature a 200 MP primary camera, among other features.

Xiaomi continues to tease the Redmi Note 12 series' release in India, having already presented the smartphones in China. While the company confirmed last week that the Redmi Note 12 series would launch outside its home market, it has since revealed an Indian launch date; presumably, Xiaomi will wait another few months before releasing the Redmi Note 12 series elsewhere.

As the embedded images show, Xiaomi is focusing on the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus, although it is expected to release the Redmi Note 12 and Redmi Note 12 Pro in India too. Despite not confirming it as such, the teasers released so far imply that the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus launching in India will be the same one that is already available in China, which has not always been the case with earlier Redmi Note models. As such, the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus will launch in India with a 200 MP primary camera, plus a MediaTek Dimensity 1080 chipset and a 5,000 mAh battery, among other features.

Currently, Xiaomi has only outlined that the Redmi Note 12 series will arrive on January 5 in India. There is no guarantee that this date applies to other regions, though. Instead, the lack of activity on Xiaomi's other social media channels suggests that January 5 will only mark the Redmi Note 12 series' introduction in China. Potentially, the Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro could launch globally before the Redmi Note 12 series too, with Lei Jun already hinting as much on Twitter.
