About this deal

Selfies from the front-facing shooter are on the other hand very good. There’s nice colour, good detail and enough dynamic range to stop shots from blowing out completely. The less said about Xiaomi’s beauty filters however, the better. It’s faster than before, its camera is capable of decent results in a variety of conditions, the phone’s 6.67in AMOLED display is as good as ever, battery life is dependable, and charging is nice and fast. Despite that, we have some familiar gripes about MIUI and the phone’s secondary cameras. India's first Sony IMX707 camera sensor on the wide angle sensor + OIS, The big 1/1.28" super large 50MP main sensor catches up to 120 percent more light and considerably more details in night photography, resulting in photographs with exceptional clarity and detail. Like its mid-range rival, the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus has had to justify a price bump over its predecessor. It has managed to do so, but perhaps not quite so comprehensively.

Weaker image processing and optics means that the Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G’s main camera still doesn’t approach flagship levels of clarity, especially when the light drops, and the Pixel 6a is a much better all-round camera system for just a little more money. But I enjoyed my time shooting with the Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G nonetheless. Moving to the ultrawide camera we see shots that have decent detail and colour for the segment, and the macro cam, as ever, is difficult to use and produces muddy shots. Paired with 6GB of RAM, this leads to decent performance, and uniformly stronger benchmark results than last year’s model – especially when it comes to the GPU. On the other hand, the OnePlus Nord 2T performs better with its Dimensity 1300 chip, especially when it comes to graphical performance, while the Poco X5 Pro 5G performs better in the CPU stakes. The Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G comes with the flagship 50MP Sony IMX766 Sensor Setup: 50MP Primary Camera + 8MP Ultrawide Camera + 2MP Macro Camera. It also features OIS for the first time ever on a Redmi Note for stable-blur free pictures for exceptional low-light photography. These features provide clear & detailed images even in the most challenging lighting situations. Other than that, the app is the usual Xiaomi mish-mash of modes, some of which you may use, many of which you will not. It doesn’t get in the way of taking photos, and for the most part, is intuitive.

Sensors on the phone include accelerometer, ambient light sensor, and proximity sensor. There’s been precious little change on the front of the Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G, even since the days of the Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G. Xiaomi has mixed things up on the photographic front, installing a large 50MP Sony IMX766 image sensor in place of last year’s 108MP Samsung ISOCELL HM2. No, it’s not as attention-grabbing as the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus 5G’s 200MP sensor, but it’s a smart, quietly accomplished choice on Xiaomi’s part.

Reassuringly, however, you get a 120W wired charger in the box. Xiaomi claims that you can charge the Note 12 Pro Plus to 100% in 19 minutes. I didn’t find it to be that rapid, at least not from totally empty, but a 29-minute zero to 100% time is still excellent. Other returning elements include a large 5,000mAh battery and speedy 67W wired charging. As the name suggests, 5G connectivity also makes a return. Without doubt, Xiaomi is selling the Plus model on its main camera. Out goes the 108MP 1/1.52in sensor from last year’s model, and in comes a whopping 200MP 1/1.4in replacement, producing 12.5MP shots through a 16-in-1 pixel binning technique. Similarly, the 16MP selfie camera struggles with exposure and tends to wash colours out somewhat, but it does an adequate job.Perhaps the biggest and most direct rival to the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus, however, is the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G, which costs exactly the same price. The Xiaomi 12 Pro | 5G also brings the latest in charging technology which is the 120W HyperCharge technology and charges the phone to 100% in 18 Mins
