The Redmi Note 12 Pro, a sleek Glacier Blue device boasting 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage, promises a lot for its price point. This in-depth review will delve into my experience using the Redmi Note 12 Pro (Redmi Note 12 Pro) over the past few weeks, covering everything from its vibrant AMOLED display to its surprisingly capable camera system. I’ll share my honest thoughts, both positive and negative, to help you decide if it’s the right phone for you.

The Redmi Note 12 Pro is packed with features that cater to both casual and power users. Its 6.67-inch AMOLED display is a real standout, delivering crisp visuals and vibrant colors. The 108MP primary camera promises stunning detail, while the 16MP front camera is more than adequate for selfies and video calls. The Snapdragon 732G processor coupled with 8GB of RAM ensures smooth multitasking, while the large 5000mAh battery provides all-day power. The inclusion of expandable storage up to 1TB via microSD is also a nice touch.

In daily use, the Redmi Note 12 Pro handled everything I threw at it with ease. Switching between apps was seamless, and even demanding games ran smoothly. While not a flagship-level processor, the Snapdragon 732G is more than capable for most users. The 8GB of RAM ensures that apps stay in memory, reducing loading times. I experienced minimal lag and overall found the performance to be very satisfactory for its price bracket. I ran a few benchmark tests (results not shown here, but easily found online) which corroborated my real-world experience.

The 108MP main camera impressed me with its ability to capture sharp, detailed images, even in less-than-ideal lighting conditions. The other camera lenses (8MP ultrawide, and two 2MP macro/depth sensors) offer useful additional capabilities. While not as polished as some flagship phones, the camera produced high-quality pictures suitable for everyday sharing and printing. Video recording was also satisfactory, offering stable footage at 1080p and 4K.

The 5000mAh battery easily lasted a full day, even with heavy usage. I consistently had at least 20-30% remaining by bedtime, even after extensive gaming and video streaming. The fast charging capabilities were also a huge plus, allowing for a quick top-up when needed.

Pros:

• Stunning AMOLED display
• Excellent battery life
• Capable camera system
• Smooth performance
• Expandable storage

Cons:

• Processor is not the latest generation
• Some minor camera processing issues in low light

Overall, the Redmi Note 12 Pro (Redmi Note 12 Pro) provides exceptional value for money. The stunning display, long-lasting battery, and capable camera system make it a highly competitive option in its price range. While the processor isn’t the absolute latest, it delivers smooth performance for everyday tasks and gaming. I would highly recommend this phone to anyone looking for a feature-rich device without breaking the bank.
