Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G to launch in India on January 5

The Redmi Note 12 Pro and Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus have been available in China for some time, so we know what to anticipate. Both the phones come with a 6.67-inch flat OLED display with 1080p resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. Both the Redmi Note 12 Pro and Note 12 Pro Plus support Dolby Vision content. Under the hood, both phones come with MediaTek’s new Dimensity 1080 chipset and a huge 5,000mAh battery. While the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus can charge at 120W, the Redmi Note 12 Pro can only charge at 67W.

The Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus 5G with a 200MP camera will be available in India on January 5.

Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus price in China starts at CNY 2,199 (roughly Rs 25,000) for 8GB/256GB and goes up to CNY 2,399 (roughly Rs 27,300) for 12GB/256GB. Redmi Note 12 Pro is priced at CNY 1,699 (roughly Rs 19,300) for 6GB/128GB, CNY 1,799 (roughly Rs 20,500) for 8GB/128GB, CNY 1,999 (roughly Rs 22,800) for 8GB/256GB, and CNY 2,199 (roughly Rs 25,000) for 12GB/256GB.

Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G: Xiaomi recently announced that it is going to drop its ad-based monetisation strategy for Redmi Note 12 series after customer feedback which is to say these phones won’t be subsided like before and their India pricing would be more realistic, possibly closer to or even a bit higher than what they cost in China. Stay tuned for more.
