Reviews for the Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro+
Source: Think Digit

The Redmi Note 12 Pro+ is a very good upgrade if you're using a previous generation Note series device from Xiaomi. If this is the case then you'll be in for a familiar experience, that'll just feel a lot more refined and also significantly improved in some areas such as the camera department. And even if you're not looking to upgrade from a Redmi Note device, then know the Note 12 Pro+ still makes a lot of sense. For its price, this is a very well-rounded phone that offers everything and then some more you'd want from your next mid-range smartphone. The only thing holding back the device is its design, which honestly does not do much to tilt the scales in the Redmi Note 12 Pro+'s favour.

The Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G is a great performer, the MediaTek Dimensity 1080 5G with 12 GB RAM and 256 GB storage offers a great deal of performance at this price. On top of it, the 200 MP captures detailed shots with a bunch of features inside. Another impressive thing is its display, the 10-bit Pro-AMOLED screen with a 120 Hz refresh rate gives you a better viewing experience paired with the stereo speakers, and features like Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos add to the overall multimedia experience. You also get a bunch of camera perks and customizations from the latest MIUI 13 interface. The Redmi Note 12 Pro+ is overall a good value for money and a great performer for users who are looking for a smartphone under ₹30,000 budget. =

The Redmi Note 12 Pro+ packs quite the specifications and has a very interesting price as well. It is no doubt an excellent phone given the performance and camera. But the price now starts at Rs 29,999 and goes up to Rs 32,999. Of course, if you decide to club all the offers that Redmi has announced such as the ICICI Bank discount of Rs 3,000 plus exchange bonuses, you can bring the price down to Rs 25,999 for the 8GB RAM option. Redmi has also doubled the onboard storage to 256GB. But still, the Redmi Note series is now competing with a completely different set of devices. It also means this is not the phone for every Redmi user, especially someone who perhaps is not comfortable spending beyond Rs 20,000. This one is strictly for Redmi loyalists and fans who want all the latest specifications and the best camera. If you are looking for a more affordable Note, you will have to look at other options in the series.

For obvious reasons, I really liked using the Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus. It packs everything you would want in a mid range phone and I don’t think Xiaomi has made any significant compromises this time. The 200MP camera takes great photos as it should and the high refresh rate AMOLED display offers a great display experience. The phone does not lag or shutter in everyday use and the performance was fantastic. Not to forget, the 120W fast charging support does wonders and quickly chargers the phone. I just wish that Xiaomi could have launched the phone with the latest Android 13 version. Now coming to the final decision, the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus is a great phone but is on the pricey side and I don’t know if people in India would be ready to shell out Rs 30000 for a Note series phone.

The Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G has received many upgrades over its predecessor, or should we say predecessors. I leave it to you to decide which phone it actually succeeds. It scores high points for its superior build quality, excellent display, top-notch camera performance, and very fast charging. The phone offers decent battery life as well, while packing a capable performance unit. The fact that it doesn't come with Android 13 out-of-the-box, even in 2023, is the most disappointing aspect. Hopefully, the phone is expected to get the Android 13 update very soon. While the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G was not an easy or obvious recommendation for its segment, the Note 12 Pro+ 5G makes up for it by offering a solid package and a well-rounded experience. Yes, the phone is the most expensive Redmi Note in the series' history, but if you put aside the name and simply look at what it offers, then this one checks almost all the boxes.

So should you be shelling out the highest starting price (Rs 29,999 for 8 GB/ 256 GB, with Rs 32,999 for the 12 GB/ 256 GB variant) ever to come on a Redmi Note series device? The answer depends on just how much you value that main sensor. If you want a device for shooting, editing, and watching high-quality content, the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G is a no-brainer in its segment. That combination of camera, display, sound, and fast charging battery make it superb, while the steady Note-like performance in other departments make it a rock-steady proposition. Take away that camera, however, and things get a little unsteady. Devices like the Redmi K50i 5G, the Poco F4 5G and the iQOO Neo 6 5G that come with slightly lower price tags will appeal to those who want faster processors. They might not have a 200-megapixel snapper in their ranks, but their cameras are very capable ones, nevertheless. Even those users who want a great camera would be tempted by the Google Pixel 6a, which has received a price cut and is available for Rs 32,999. Another phone with a slashed price in Note waters is the rather unique Nothing Phone (1) (our Phone of 2022), which is available for Rs 27,999 and remains in a zone of its own, thanks to its design and interface. A point to be noted, however, is that neither the Pixel nor the Phone (1) comes with chargers in the box, leave alone with support for 120W charging. A challenger in that department is the OnePlus Nord 2T 5G, which is available for Rs 28,999 now and has an 80W charger in the box, competent cameras, a clean interface, and a Dimensity 1300 chip running the show. We think that buying the Redmi Note Pro+ 5G is really going to boil down to how much you value that 200-megapixel sensor. That is one department where any other device cannot match the phone as of now in the premium mid-segment. Love those megapixels, mega details, and mega-resolution images? The Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G is very much worth its mega price (by Note standards).

The Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus 5G is a pricey affair for a Redmi Note device, despite Xiaomi trying to convince everyone that the price hike is due to inflation and several other reasons. On top of that, a quick look at the competition and the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus 5G doesn't seem like an easy pick; the Nothing Phone (1) has so much more to offer in terms of value. A super polished user experience packaged in a cool design that is also built exceptionally well – this is not what the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus delivers. There are several redeeming aspects for this Redmi “Super Note”. The 200MP camera works nicely as a replacement of a zoom camera, provided the lighting is good. The 120W fast charging is another benefit and the same can be said for its impressive display. The Dimensity 1080 chip is good enough for most consumers and the 5G performance has been good on Airtel's 5G NSA network. That said, at a starting price of Rs. 29999, the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus is tough to recommend. Either wait for the company to drop the prices, or go for the Nothing Phone (1), which is still our top pick under Rs. 30000. You can also check out the Google Pixel 6a if you value a great still photography experience. The iQOO Neo 6 is another great deal for those who value high performance.

The Redmi Note 12 Pro+ is priced at Rs 29,999 in India, which seems to be a bit higher than our expectations. But, people who want an all-rounder 5G phone can consider buying it because it mostly has features that one might be looking for. The overall performance of the mid-range smartphone is good enough as long as one doesn’t push it to its limits. So, average smartphone users won’t have issues in using this 5G phone. The stereo speakers are pretty loud and well-balanced. The camera of the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ is pretty reliable and I will likely get some picturesque shots if they are taken properly when HDR hits in. Although I do believe Xiaomi should work on improving the battery life of its phone though there’s 120W fast charging support that charges the phone fully in less than 30 minutes.

My impression of the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ has been really positive and for good reason. The device checkmarks all aspects of a compelling sub-Rs 30,000 phone without having to compromise on a single aspect. It can be considered the definition of a wholesome experience with some wiggle room present as far as the device’s low-light photography is considered. I would question if the 200MP sensor was a real necessity as casual users are likely not to make the effort to dig around the camera settings to access the feature. Regardless the daylight point-and-shoot photography on the device is pretty much on point. Coupled with fast charging, reasonably good performance and robust build quality, the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ can truly set a benchmark for future mid-range phones.

Priced at Rs 32,999 (review unit: 12GB + 256GB), the Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus is a solid midrange smartphone. Barring the design, the smartphone impresses on all fronts. Yet, calling it a super note is a hyperbole because the phone does not set benchmarks on any parameter. That said, even with its limitations, the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus makes an all-round smartphone with something in store for everyone.

Xiaomi is shaking things up with the Redmi Note 12 Pro+. The phone has a minimalist design that looks great, and you get a 200MP camera and 120W fast charging. While there's a lot to like in the hardware, the software is a big letdown — the phone runs Android 12 out of the box, and will only get two version updates. Combine that with a high price at launch, and you get a phone that's not as good a value as its predecessors.

From the looks of it, the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G seems more like the spiritual successor to the Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge 5G. Xiaomi will announce the pricing details for the two variants (8GB RAM + 256GB storage, and 12GB RAM + 256GB storage) at its launch event on January 5. So, what is in a name, one might ask? All that matters is how well this phone performs and if it actually delivers enough bang for your buck. To find out, stay tuned to Gadgets 360 for the full review of the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G, which will be up very soon.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro is a downgraded version of the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus, but due to the fact there are lots of similarities in specifications, you don’t miss out on some of the basic features. However, there’s no doubt the Redmi Note 12 Pro smartphone does have cut some corners. But even then, this phone is one of the best smartphones in the mid-range segment that got everything correct from specs to features. On the other hand, if you are willing to spend a bit more, there’s Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus version is available for you. But if you are spending that much, we would suggest going with Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Explorer edition that got additional faster charging support. Though this edition is currently exclusive to China, still it’s overall a great deal over the Pro+ version. Finally, if you are looking for a value-for-money deal, choosing Redmi Note 12 Pro is still an outstanding choice.
