29 Apr. (EDITIONS/Portaltic) –
Xiaomi presented its new mid-range flagship last March Redmi Note 12 Pro+ that stands out in its sector thanks to the photography that ensures its 200MP camerahis battery capable of recharging to 100 percent in 20 minutes and the screen image quality.
The Chinese company created this device with the intention of bringing the specifications of its most advanced ‘smartphones’ to mid-range mobile phones and, as a result, it has managed to boost the Redmi brand with a terminal that has quite striking features. Based on this, Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ in the Spanish market for 499 euroan increasingly common price for its range.
The first thing that catches the attention of this device is its screen. It’s about a 6.67 inch devicewith a screen AMOLEDsomething that had not been introduced before for the Redmi Note range, with a 2,400 x 1,080 resolution and a rate of 120Hz refresh.
This panel highlights blacks and delivers bright, accurate colors, with the ability to display more than 1 billion colors. It is also compatible with Dolby Vision, which improves contrast, something quite remarkable when it comes to appreciating the image quality on the screen, and which makes it a mobile where you can enjoy audiovisual content, both videos and photos.
maybe something Improvable is its maximum brightness capacitywhich reaches 900 nits and, therefore, in spaces where there is a lot of sunlight or light, the screen is dark.
DESIGN
The Redmi Note 12 Pro + is quite elegant. It has a design based on some simple lineswith straight edges and a material that simulates a matte metallic shine. The edges on the back show a slight curve that is pleasant when holding the mobile in hand. Likewise, their corners also have a rounded shape.
The back material is plastic. However, it is reinforced with polished glass who gets a pleasant and resistant touch.
In the back too highlights the camera module, which is located on the upper left side. However, this module does not stand out so much in thickness and shape as it happens with other devices where it has more prominence. The lenses are not large and are collected in a rectangle that has a matte metallic shine in the background.
CAMERA
Continuing with the camera, the company wanted to stand out in this area by incorporating a 200MP main lens. Right now, this resolution is he maximum exponent in the mobile market and, in this sense, it is one of the characteristics of the ‘smartphone’ with which Xiaomi tries to get closer to the high-end.
This lens is accompanied by others two less conspicuous sensors: an 8MP ultra-wide angle and a 2MP macro lens. However, all lenses have optical image stabilization and the main sensor adds Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD), a technology that enables better image performance on backgrounds with complex lighting.
To carry out the photographs with 200MP, you must activate the UltraHD mode from the camera app. Once activated, the differences between photos with the automatic settings and photos with the sensor at full capacity are evident. Mainly, because it notice much more sharpness. For his part, with rest of sensors, captures are more basic.
Portrait mode offers good quality images with a background with achieved bokeh effect. Following this line, with the night mode the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ does not disappoint either and leaves images with controlled light and without losing too much quality.
Refering to ‘selfie’ camera, this has a 16MP sensor able to leave pretty good results. On the other hand, something to keep in mind is that this device does not have RAW format in the camera appso it only lets you see the final images offered by the device with computational photography.
BATTERY
The battery is another of the most notable characteristics of the Redmi Pro+ thanks to its fast charging, which is capable of recharge one hundred percent in just 20 minutes. This capability allows the user to take the worry out of battery life and simply use the device for as long as he needs, knowing that he will be able to charge it again in no time.
Specifically, it has a 5,000mAh capacity and, as we have been able to verify in the test of the device, the autonomy It lasts practically two days with normal use and about a full day with more intensive use.. On the other hand, when charging the ‘smartphone’, it does not reach high temperatures or show problems in this process.
PERFORMANCE
The power of the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ is powered by the Dimensity 1080 processor, that reinforces a configuration of 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM memory and 256 GB of UFS2.2 storage -the only configuration available-. It is a processor meets the needs of this mid-range, although it is not quite outstanding.
In day-to-day use, the ‘smartphone’ works completely normally; It does not show jerking when running applications or carrying out heavy tasks. However, with a use of several ‘apps’ at the same time, occasionally it took longer than usual to open them or process information. However, these occasions were rare.
This device has been launched with the MIUI 14 customization layer, which offers many customization themes and the various integrated Xiaomi applications. However, it is based on Android 12 and not in Android 13, which can mean worse performance.
Among other features, the Pro+ model includes a mini jack connector, very useful for those who use helmets with this connector and something that not many terminals have lately incorporated. Continuing with the connectivity, it is compatible with 5G and Wi-Fi 6, in addition to USB-C, Bluetooth and even incorporates infrared emitter.
Another aspect to highlight is that it has Dolby Atmos-compatible speakerswhich drives the willingness of this ‘smartphone’ to enjoy multimedia content.
ASSESSMENT
The Redmi Note 12 Pro+ stands out among mid-range devices with features that aim to go a little further, such as the battery, worthy of a high-end device, and the high resolution camera. All this without neglecting any day-to-day aspect and meeting basic needs of any user.
how it sticksa point to take into account is that your operating system has Android 12 as a base. This feature implies that the device comes out with a more backward system, since Android 13 has already been on the market for a long time.
As for the price, which is practically around 500 euros, it is a figure expected given the characteristics of the device and the Xiaomi line, taking into account that the previous model, the Redmi Note 11 Pro +, went on the market with a price of around 450 euros for its most powerful version.
But What stands out the most is the camera.which manages to offer a quality of photography mid-range leader and that, in fact, it is the best camera that they have integrated into the Redmi Note models.
