The Snapdragon 685 SoC seems to be considerably more powerful than the Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 just by looking at the clock speeds. [source: gsmarena]

Display

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 4G retains the 120Hz OLED screen. [source: 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. [source: trustedreviews]

Battery

With a 5,000mAh battery, the Redmi Note 12 shouldn’t struggle to last all day. [source: trustedreviews]
