Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 4G review

[@devanshudodiya]

It makes soo much sense to buy this phone because the software update on Xiaomi phones kills 5g compatibility anyways.

[@ChristopherFreedom]

You keep saying in this price range but you don't mention the price.. ?

[@Carcosahead]

$13

[@Trybackk]

Prices change overtime, they can't just say the price

[@Naburish]

This phone is far much better than so called budget king Tecno spark 10 pro.

[@MS-ql4db]

True ❤.xiaomi best

[@ioannistheringer]

I mean I have this phone for 1 year now, the best upgrade so it has better camera is just installing gcam and using it instead of the original camera. Overall it's a very good phone for it's price!

[@not.ziad1]

what ram/storage u got ? does it lag with normal use ? (social media and photography)

[@ioannistheringer]

@@not.ziad1 not really, it has both in the 2 versions 4 gigs of ram and I have the 128 one, I mean it's pretty good at performance, you don't have to worry

[@kylegabrielmedrano8162]

This phone is awesome. Very smooth and feels nice to hold. Obv this is a budget-friendly phone so don’t expect the best specs, but it’s good enough to run Genshin Impact at medium graphics and Mobile Legends at ultra. Worth every penny if you ask me ;)) P.s. try to get the 8/256 variant if you can! 4gb ram is pretty bad nowadays even for light usage

[@promiseakachukwu8100]

[@dynamicvibe4248]

Just like last year's chipset, the SD 685 on the Redmi Note 12 4g doesn't have a 4k@30fps option for video recording, while performance is better. But, for a budget smartphone it's still decent.

I got this phone for $100 8/128. for my Mother-in-law and was suprised how well it is. It will be used mostly for KZbin, facebook, messenger and candy crush type games. The best thing about this phone is the 120hz Amoled screen.

This is much better than the 5G phones in my country. Having a 5G phone is still useless, so it's better to go for the RN12 4G instead for the camera and battery if you're in the Philippines.

This phone was really to use until few month later when it just started to become slow and unresponsive at times. I did a full factory reset, and again was working nice and smooth until another few months when it had the same issue. Unfortunately is seems to be the case with most budget phones, once you start to fill up its memory with photos and app (internet banking, social media, youtube, messengers etc) they just can't perform as well

Main put off for me is this 4G version does not have NFC. But only the 5G one does. But it makes the phone about 30% more expensive than the 4G variant. That is seriously very strange why tyey did not include it when NFC based tap payments are starting to be the norm.
