Camera
The main camera should, in theory, be better (newer 50MP sensor vs. 48MP on the 5G iteration). [source: gsmarena]

Performance
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]

Price
Starting at just £219 with 5G connectivity, the Redmi Note 12 5G is a tempting option at a budget-friendly price. [source: trustedreviews]

The 5G network capabilities may be great and all, but bring little to no additional value for the vast majority of the user base. [source: gsmarena]
