Xiaomi has just unveiled the Redmi Note 12T Pro, a mid-range smartphone that could well bring power to its segment. This new model is based on a minimalist design, inherited from the Redmi Note 12 Pro, but stands out with a series of impressive features for its price range. It features a 144Hz Full HD+ LCD screen, 64MP main camera, and is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8200-Ultra processor.
The latest gem in Xiaomi’s catalog, the Redmi Note 12T Pro, is on its way to changing the game in the world of mid-range smartphones. Instead of settling for less, Xiaomi has gone big on this device, which promises to delight discerning users looking for value for money.
Visually, the Redmi Note 12T Pro is a worthy heir to the Redmi Note 12 Pro, taking up its minimalist but sought-after aesthetic. The flat screen, discreet bezels and slightly thicker chin make up a screen that doesn’t reflect the price of the device, while the rectangular camera module houses a trio of lenses, including a 64-megapixel main camera. capable of recording video in 4K.
The 144 Hz Full HD+ LCD screen is where the Redmi Note 12T Pro should offer a good compromise. It’s true, we could have expected 144 Hz OLED, but not in this price range yet.
Born from the partnership between MediaTek and Xiaomi
Now let’s get to the heart of the beast: the MediaTek Dimensity 8200-Ultra processor born from a partnership between Xiaomi and MediaTek. This chip combines four ARM Cortex-A78 performance cores clocked at up to 3.1 GHz and four so-called efficiency cores, Cortex-A55 at 2.0 GHz. The AnTuTu benchmark figures show an impressive score of more than 900,000 points. This is very promising for this segment. There is also Wi-Fi 6 and 5G.

In terms of storage, the Redmi Note 12T Pro does not disappoint either. With options for up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of flash storage, and a 5,080mAh battery with USB-C charging at up to 67 watts.
The big remaining question is price and availability. Xiaomi hasn’t announced the numbers yet, but with China pre-sales looming on May 30, we expect details on pricing and overall availability to be revealed shortly. In India, Xiaomi announced a price of around 210 euros in an 8 + 128 GB configuration.
Anyway, the Redmi Note 12T Pro seems to be a mid-range smartphone that could well gain followers. Note that at the same time, another Chinese manufacturer unveiled the Honor 90 Pro, also very promising, and also much more expensive.
