Hello friends, today I have brought an exciting news for you tech lovers. Xiaomi recently launched its latest 5G smartphone in India, and guess what? It’s incredibly affordable, just Rs. 10,999 onwards. Now, this is one deal you won’t want to miss! Let’s take a look at our first impressions of the Redmi 12 5G and see if it is as impressive as it has been claimed to be.
A Shimmering Design That Won’t Weigh You Down
First of all let’s talk about the design. The Redmi 12 5G sports a stunning glass back panel that comes in three colors: Moonlight Silver, Classic Black, and Pastel Blue. We got our hands on the Moonlight Silver Edition, and boy, does it look mesmerizing! The glass back has a glossy finish that creates a beautiful play of colors when the light hits it just right.
And don’t worry about it feeling like a brick in your hand; Xiaomi has managed to keep it relatively light, weighing just under 200 grams. Furthermore, they have also included a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass at the back to protect it from accidental drops and scratches. So, style and durability go hand in hand with it.
A Big Screen Experience That’s Easy on the Eyes
Now, let’s turn our attention to the display. The Redmi 12 5G sports a massive 6.79-inch full-HD+ IPS LCD with a buttery smooth 90Hz refresh rate. That means scrolling through your feeds and binge-watching your favorite shows will be a delight! With a peak brightness of 450 nits, it handles indoor lighting like a champ.
Unfortunately, we couldn’t test it outdoors yet due to the unpredictable Mumbai rains, but don’t you worry, we’ll keep you updated on how it performs in different lighting conditions in our full review.
Speed Meets Power: The Snapdragon Magic
Under the hood, the Redmi 12 5G packs a punch with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 SoC. It comes in three variants: 4GB of RAM with 128GB of storage for Rs. 10,999; 6GB of RAM with 256GB of storage for Rs. 12,499; and the top-of-the-line 8GB of RAM with a whopping 256GB of storage for Rs. 14,999. You’ll have plenty of power to run your favorite apps and multitask like a pro.
Oh, and don’t forget the icing on the cake – a beefy 5,000mAh battery that’ll keep you going all day long! And when you need to top up, the 18W fast charging has got you covered.
