Redmi 12

Technical specifications

Hello Dear Editorial Team. The Redmi 12 phone is a bit of a joke from Xiaomi. I understand they created a separate sub-brand, but this model performs worse than the Redmi 8. It constantly freezes, errors pop up saying the UI has stopped working, and the 90Hz refresh rate is not noticeable. The phone is a disaster. I understand it is a budget model, but to skimp even on old UFS 2.1 memory? I do not recommend buying it. The cameras are okay, they take nice photos. The IPS screen is washed out. Compared to the Realme C55, where the screen looks like an AMOLED. This model is a waste of time. For those considering a purchase: spend an extra 100 PLN and buy the Redmi Note 12. I know it will be the 4/64GB version, but it is worth it.

I bought a great phone and I will not change it for the next 6 years :p

I have had the Redmi 12 phone since approximately the middle of December last year. I have been a fan of Redmi for many years. But after purchasing this model, I am very disappointed. The phone has let me down significantly. It is extremely slow. Sometimes one has to wait several seconds for it to respond after tapping an application or function. Not to mention that sometimes it is necessary to tap the screen several times for the phone to react. Double tap to wake rarely works. I do not know, but perhaps I received a faulty unit. I know that it is a budget phone, but other budget devices that I had previously worked much better and faster. Only the photos taken in good weather are beyond reproach. Clearing the memory, restarting, or returning to factory settings does not help. The next model will probably not be a Redmi. And I no longer recommend this model to anyone.

A very poor quality product. The phone freezes, and while using applications, it is impossible to reply, for example, on Messenger, because the active application closes, including Messenger. It is also impossible to write in the application because the keyboard does not appear. The phone works very slowly and has a delayed response while using applications. I previously had a Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 and if I had to choose between them, I would choose that phone. In summary: camera +, battery capacity +, general usage -.

Redmi 12 is perfectly fine. I do not remember which smartphone in a row this is for me. I have already owned models costing over 4 thousand. In this case, the decision to buy an inexpensive phone was not a mistake. The price-to-quality ratio is very good. I have already explored the capabilities of my Redmi 12 and I am positively surprised. It does not offer a premium experience, but I have realized that it is not necessary to spend a large amount of money because my Redmi 8/256 IS SUFFICIENT!

8/256
I have been using it for 1.5 years and for certain reasons I am obliged to use it for the same amount of time again. The appearance is quite good, the camera is average. Despite the large amount of RAM, it heats up quickly and significantly when many applications are running.
It is sufficient for making calls, sending text messages, and reading news on the internet, but if you want to play something more demanding than simple puzzle games on your phone, I do not recommend it.

The best choice among new smartphones in its price range. It replaced the Huawei Nova Y80 and is significantly better in every respect, although it should be remembered that this is an entry-level device and will never be as efficient as a Google Pixel or iPhone. I recommend it for undemanding users who use the phone mainly for calls and text messages, or occasionally for playing music from YT; it performs better than its competitor, the Realme C53.

Large internal memory and substantial RAM - these are two advantages. But the camera takes poor quality photos, especially when zooming. It receives signal worse than my previous Motorola. I will not purchase any more phones from this company. In 2019, I had one phone from this company and I think it was better, despite having much less RAM and ROM; it took better photos. I cannot recommend it with a clear conscience.

This phone is extremely frustrating. It freezes, I wait 10 seconds for it to unlock, and the camera definitely takes 15 seconds to start. I have my own rule for phones - a new one only after 2 years have passed - but I have to break it. If it runs worse than a tablet from 2017, I cannot manage to endure even another half a year with it to reach one year. The next phone will no longer be Xiaomi.

I own an S23 Plus and I bought this phone simply for extensive internet browsing, movies, games, etc., for intensive use, so as not to strain the Samsung. And I will say that it is really good! The screen is sharp and LARGE, the processor even performs adequately and the battery lasts a really long time. And honestly, I am seriously wondering
Why pay 5,000 for a phone?
