We live in a time where anything can be content – from the food and coffee we order, the cute things our pets do, to unique sights when we travel. With a few snaps on our phone cameras, we instantly have something to post on our social media pages anytime we want.

Today’s young generation, especially, isn’t shy to show off their personalities through their posts. This is why many actively post photos of whatever they’re up to, and even film themselves doing the latest TikTok or Instagram Reels trends with their friends. They don’t leave home without their trusty smartphones, and these days, they invest in ones with great cameras like the Redmi Note 12 Series.

The Redmi Note 12 Series comes in three variants, which all have impressive photography features that can capture vivid moments wherever you go. Here’s how users can make the most of its features for any type of content:

Other camera settings include the optical image stabilization (OIS) for action shots, and macro camera for really close-up shots of flowers, raindrops, and more.

With the Redmi Note 12’s versatile camera system, users can add variety to their social media content and showcase their creativity in different ways with one flick of a finger.

The device is also equipped with the IMX766 sensor and Night Mode 2.0 that can produce brighter and clearer photos in any scenario.

These features allow for creative shots no matter the time of day, so users have free rein to play with lighting.

Add personality to your photos and videos

Editing is crucial if users want to make their photos and videos stand out on their social media feeds. With the Redmi Note 12 Series’ 120Hz AMOLED display, users can view every detail of their shots clearly, and adjust them without any trouble. For those who want to change up the vibe, the Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G has a set of Film filters to add a retro touch to their content.

In the hardware design and look, the Redmi Note 12 adopts a modern and elegant design structure. It features a semi slim unit with a glossy back panel, which gives it a premium look and feel.

The Redmi Note 12 fits comfortably in your hand and the button locations are intuitive, I like the placement of the fingerprint sensor which is located at the power button . The bezels around the display are fairly slim, although there is a small chin at the bottom. Overall, the design is furnished and should appeal to many users.

Moving on to the display, the Redmi Note 12 boasts a large IPS LCD panel measuring around 6.5 inches. The resolution appears to be crisp and vibrant, offering an immersive viewing experience for multimedia consumption, gaming, and browsing. The colors seem accurate, and the brightness levels are decent, ensuring good visibility even under direct sunlight. It would have been great to see an AMOLED panel, but considering the price range, the LCD display seems satisfactory.

Redmi Note 12 Usage

In terms of function and usage, the Redmi Note 12 is equipped with a Snapdragon 685 processor, which is common for mid-range chipset. It is more than sufficient capacity for everyday tasks, multitasking, and even some basic gaming. The RAM and storage configurations , this variant has 6GB RAM and it runs many applications at acceptable performance and caters more to different user needs.

Redmi Note 12 Camera

Regarding the Android OS, the Redmi Note 12 runs on MIUI 14, Xiaomi’s custom GUI, on top of Android 13. MIUI 14 offers manageable and highly customizable settings, though it has been criticized in the past for being slow and having a lot of useless apps and ads. Hopefully, Xiaomi will improve on this to improve the user experience and reduce unnecessary apps and software.

For the battery capacity, the Redmi Note 12  comes with a sizable battery capacity of 5,000 mAh which is already a huge power that can last a full day of usage without charge. This should provide ample power to get through a full day of gaming without needing to charge frequently .
