It’s largely a case of evolution over revolution, but there are signs of genuine progress with this year’s model. Faster performance and a superior main camera represent the brand’s bid for continued mid-range relevance. Video is generally decent, with good detail and a restrained but pleasing colour rendition and maxes out at 4K@30fps. The audio recorded is a little choppy however, which harms the experience. Performance 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.Xiaomi’s solution, for the moment it seems, is to invent categories to test the water and see if people will come. The Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G is part of an attempt to reach the kind of consumer who doesn’t want to spend too much, who doesn’t want to sacrifice quality, and who is a ‘Pro’ of nebulous definition. I don’t know what this theoretical Pro does, but they need 5G and a high megapixel count to achieve it. In total, across a sixteen-hour day, starting at 7am and finishing at 11pm, through a combination of messaging, watching video, an hour of GPS and listening to music on Bluetooth earphones, I hit 20% by 8pm and needed a small recharge to make it a bit later. For many people, this will then likely be a most-of-the-day smartphone, not making it into a second without a top-up. This is a respectable showing if not quite the best available. With yet another year-on-year price bump over last year’s model, we feel we have to point out that the Note Pro line doesn’t quite stand out as loudly and proudly as it used to. However, the latest model remains a very strong contender for the money. 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. Other returning elements include a large 5,000mAh battery and speedy 67W wired charging. As the name suggests, 5G connectivity also makes a return.

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.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.

There’s an optional AI mode for all of these cameras, but I found that it tended to make landscape shots look a little false, with punched up colours and brightness. I generally left it off. Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G review: Verdict
