Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G Review The Photography King
Xiaomi has launched the Redmi Note 12 range in South Africa and sent us the new Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G flagship for review.
We were immediately impressed by its powerful camera with a huge 200-megapixel sensor, as well as its bright AMOLED display, attractive design and long-lasting 5000 mAh battery.
Best of all, we were able to experience all these flagship-level features without breaking the bank – the Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro + 5G has an MSRP of just Rs 11,999.
Unique photo
Unparalleled in the mid-range smartphone segment, the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G camera has an impressive 200 MP Ultra-HD image sensor that captures every detail while taking pictures.
This camera also has OIS (Optical Image Stabilization), which meant that every photo we took was not only very accurate, but also absolutely sharp.
The flagship 7P lens, anti-reflective coating and large aperture helped us capture more light for brighter photos in low light and at night.
The rear camera is complemented by a wide-angle lens for stunning landscapes and a macro lens for detailed close-up shots.
As for the front, we are greeted by a 16 megapixel camera that makes it easy to record popular videos for TikTok and Instagram.
This makes the Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G ideal for active social media users and vloggers, as well as travelers who want to capture all their scenic views.
Power display and charging
Xiaomi has equipped the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G with a unique 6.67-inch screen that allows us to see the true beauty of images.
The AMOLED display offers exceptional color reproduction and contrast, even in direct sunlight, in an incredibly bright and clear panel.
This display also has a 120Hz refresh rate, which makes surfing the web, playing games and watching videos a breeze.
It's all powered by a 5,000 mAh battery, which ensured we never ran out of time to charge the charger.
When our Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G battery ran out, due to the phone's 120W "hypercharge" support, it only needed to be plugged in for 19 minutes to fully recover the battery.
Advanced entertainment
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G is the best choice for South Africans who need a powerful smartphone with a great camera and long battery life.
It's even better with the Xiaomi Mi Portable Bluetooth Speaker, which delivers great sound.
The Xiaomi Mi Portable Bluetooth Speaker itself has a long-lasting battery that allows you to enjoy music for 10 hours while playing with friends.
Its portable design and IP67 dust and water resistance rating make it the perfect accessory for the pool or beach.
