Reviews
Overall rating and the reviews that impact it
Pros
Camera
The main camera should, in theory, be better (newer 50MP sensor vs. 48MP on the 5G iteration).

Performance
The Snapdragon 685 SoC seems to be considerably more powerful than the Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 just by looking at the clock speeds.

Display
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 4G retains the 120Hz OLED screen.
[gsmarena]
Despite the budget price tag, the Redmi Note 12 5G sports a top-end 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate.

Battery
With a 5,000mAh battery, the Redmi Note 12 shouldn’t struggle to last all day.
[trustedreviews]
Price
Starting at just £219 with 5G connectivity, the Redmi Note 12 5G is a tempting option at a budget-friendly price.
[trustedreviews]
Software
The microSD card slot is dedicated.
[gsmarena]
Connectivity
The 5G network capabilities may be great and all, but bring little to no additional value for the vast majority of the user base.

Cons
Camera
The camera works fine for daytime but not for nighttime.
[gsmarena]
The video quality was average.
[gsmarena]
Despite a high-res 48MP camera, initial tests weren’t overwhelmingly positive.
[trustedreviews]
Performance
Performance isn’t that great with a Snapdragon 4 Gen 1.
[trustedreviews]
Phone Appearance
Upon picking it up the illusion of a premium smartphone is shattered.
[trustedreviews]
Storage
What I didn't like was stuttering despite having an 6gb + 128gb storage.
