@@TheAaronJPell this is the top dog in that line up so ofcourse it's gonna cost more. and the F3 didn't come with that price initially besides times change the last year.
thanks for your review! the best review of all over the whole youtube, 9:55 thanks for showing us the audio bit rate in video recording , been waiting for so long and this would probably be the first redmi note series with such high audio bit rate . owned almost all samsung s phone and since s8,s9 s10...note 8, 9,10 ... they all been recording in 256kbps since 2017, and the sound quality is significantly better! this is the only channel in whole youtube that cares about audio bitrate, love it ! definitely get this new Redmi Note 12 Pro only for this feature!
11:33 Yeah I don't understand their logic with that sometimes. I have the Redmi Note 10 Pro (global version) and the 5mp auto-focus macro camera they used on that was not awesome with the stock camera app, but definitely good enough to be usable in good light. With GCam installed and tuned properly it is very very good. These image sensor assemblies are so cheap per piece at the volumes they would be buying them that I would be hard-pressed to believe it would cost more than an extra $0.50 per phone to just run everything with 5mp auto-focus cameras.
with the price difference between the Note 12 Pro & Note 12 Pro Plus for a 200MP camera that will be crunch down anw, Note 12 Pro is the better choice since the performance is basically the same. Great review man, really in-depth and helpful!
I honestly was just surprised about the 470 dollars, price for the 12 pro plus! There is nothing ground breaking here from the 11 and 10th generations! The previous iterations were always priced within the 350 mark! And that was a, big selling point for the note from Redmi! Yes it's a solid phone but we are around the 500 dollar mark here! And we get Android 12! Thank you for your honest take and review as always Sir Chris✌👍
The younger demographic spoilt by years of low inflation does not realise that we have periods where prices rise due to economic variables. The latest data suggest tech inflation was about 30% last year, so these price rises are just basic economics. Within this price range, margins are small, and 30% inflation probably wipes out a profit if they do not increase prices. So, it is either at this price or not bother, as making phones to lose money is not a good business model.
I'm a Xiaomi user and I love MiUI but you're right. This way (price, specs, Android 12) it all plays into Samsung's pockets and I would actually buy new Samsung A54 instead of this Pro+ or any other other mid-range Xiaomi. There's little hope left about Poco F5 let's wait and see. But it seems that Xiaomi will also be badly beaten in June-July when OnePlus Nord 3 5g arrives with amazing specs (Dimensity 9000) and much better camera (a new Sony OIS sensor) turbo-charging and a low mid-range price maybe just 399€.
Thumbnails looking really interesting and different from before, good change nonetheless!! Been waiting for more Redmi Note reviews from you! But damn, Redmi is getting more expensive
Hello there, im looking forward to buy this phone. Can tell me if theres any heating issues? Charging problems? Or any problem related to it. ( Im not a heavy gamer or a photographer )
I am not terribly convinced by this model, as the natural replacement for my two year old excellent Redmi Note 10 Pro, which was half the price of that Redmi Note 12 Pro +.
just watched the gsmarena review. The A54 seemed to produce much better results with it's 3 cameras. It's disappointing to see that the 200mp camera is nothing more than a gimmick in most scenarios. The A54 is also available in my country meanwhile I'm still waiting for the Redmi Note 12 series to show up
I agree mate, snapdragon 870 or even the 778G would have been a better chipset. Or the dimensity 1300? I mean the oppo Reno 8 is selling for 250 pounds on Amazon right now and that has the 1300, plus the find X5 (non pro) is selling for 450 which is a great phone for that price. Plus the software support is disappointing, saw it released with android 12 and only getting 2 updates? Unless they go to android 15 that's terrible lol
@@Techtablets That should be unacceptable in 2023 especially now in March it's been months since this phone came out Xiaomi is just lazy and stupid for not adding Android 13 out of the box this has to stop seriously
I've been using Xiaomi phones since the original redmi note 4g in 2014 and was always recommending them. It has to be said though, they have lost their way. You can buy a pixel 6 for that price, and the 6a for around 330 euros. I don't mind the bloatware , the ads, and wonky software support policy if I'm paying up to 250 eur. But 400+ for a redmi note? lol, no way
They aren't, bloatware, ads you can rid of easily and those prices are gonna go down over time. If people can't afford the plus they gonna go for the pro, besides who cares about Pixel, are you serious!! One of the worst phones ever.
Using genshin impact as gaming test is a brilliant move considering it's like the most demanding mobile game currently Hope to see more gaming review again with another chipset against the same game
Yeah like many others I think it's just too expensive, especially when you consider all the other phones Xiaomi and Redmi have with similar or even better specs for maybe even less.
I would rather wait for Redmi Note 12 Turbo (aka Poco F5 non-Pro). I heard that SD 7+ Gen 2 on that phone is almost on-par with SD 870 but with a more efficient 4 nm chipset. Still a flagship killer with a headphone jack though.
Dunno about everyone else, but I'm really liking the new thumbnail style - it's eye-catching and "poppy" without being clickbaity. Great work once again!
i ordered the Redmi note 12 pro (6+128) here in Thailand. they're selling it at 10000 baht (€267). i honestly thought at that price, they should've given us the 8+128 varient. but they had a deal on pre-order since they just launched it here a few weeks ago and you get 1500 baht off (€40) plus a free carry-on suitcase. so €220 for a phone and a suitcase sounds like a deal for me. considering the Samsung a34 that has 8gb ram compared to 6gb on the 12 pro is going for €320 here.
For other people in the comments, I am unlucky to say I never saw the sudden flash with the rich features of the Redmi Note 10 Pro coming up, nor did I expect it to release so soon. I was very tight on time and in a rush for an immediate upgrade, at which time the Redmi Note 9 Pro was the last one there, and I knew about it. I however look at it this way Apart from the brightness, I could care less about OLED or refresh rate. I just enjoy it as it is, and since I don't game on a phone - - - Anywho, I guess I'm just giving a reminder on how lucky all you Redmi Note 10 Pro owners are. I too don't find myself needing to upgrade just yet, we'll see.
how the hell did you manage to show us the battery wear at 05:50?! I have 2 Xiaomi phones and no one has this. It can be convenient. Or is it some kind of app you installed? Or is it in the benchmark you used? These reviewers can be so confusing sometimes man.
I think it's worth waiting another 3 months or so for Redmi Note 12 Turbo or POCO F5 (they release them under different names on different markets), which are supposed to be pretty much the same phones with much better processor and specs.
Love your new thumbnail. With yourself in the picture it feels more connected (to the video content and also the creator). Shorter video also helps. Keep it up.
I have the 8 Pro only last summer picked up the 11 Pro+ it's a nice thing on the box to say 128 / 200 megapixel but I have been dissapointed with the zoom for photos cropping after taking is no good once the optical zoom is added then I will upgrade from the 11 pro+ . Indoor photos is the place where it falls down on the 11 pro+ I wanted it as a camera instead of my nikon because 500 grams for events is too heavy and bulky when every gram matters. I would love to see some shots like you used to do showing the zoom possible but you missed those out this time. I've seen reviews saying its not a real 200 megapixel.
@@Techtablets honestly heard it's worse than Redmi Note 11 Pro+ at the same level of zoom in some comparison's I'd seen of the China localized handset. Until they add worthwhile high megapixel I won't be upgrading anymore in the Redmi lineup.
Really appreciated how muted and simple your thumbnails were. But I do, of course, understand that they might not be that good when it comes to catching people's attention. Just keep them more readable please.
Just ordered one as it is currently on sale in the UK for Amazon's Prime Day for £319. That's the same as the regular Note 12 Pro. Fingers crossed it will be with it.
What EU released smartphones in your option have the best camera sensor combinations? (Aside for the Sony imx 989 which phone options are too expensive for me.)
hello Sir. great review. i live in the Caribbean twin Island, of Trinidad and Tobago. we have a concern amnd its about the charging brick with the round pins. we cannot use that here, so why isnt there the flat pin version of the charging brick available? not all countries are able to use such charging block and thats the reason, why a number of people would not be able to purchase this phone we so love. is there a charging block with flat pins, that would be able to charge the redmi note 12 pro/pro plus? thanks for your help
Do you still have the yoga tab 13? What rom do you have on it? I have the chinese rom on Android 11 and i am afraid to even update the small security update i have awaiting for me. Some global uses complain about atmos problems. Can you do a follow up? Obviously on Lenovo forums its as silent as in a church from Lenovo staff because noone there obviously have no idea how to even speak English so yeah... Please.. i am alomg subscriber even though i now write from my second account
Hahaa they are crazy. At that price I won't buy a redmi phone. Instead I will buy an old flagship smartphone. The main selling point for a Xiaomi was about the price
Thx for the review. I see that it also got a bigger punch hole compared to it's predecessors. I'm looking for a successor for my Redmi Note 10 Pro and I thought about 12 Pro+ but it's not good enough for it's price. Nubia Z50 Ultra has a similar price and I hope that it will come to Europe.
Xiaomi is out of their freaking mind..450 euros for this phone? Pixel 7a will cost around 500 bit more or less!even now there much more better options in the market from this phone.
@@mikegriego21 sorry but you're wrong,right now as we speak,you can find it 400 euros and not from official retailers..there it costs 470-480...even in 400 pixel 7a makes much more sense.
Unfortunately it seems like the days of Xiaomi offering good value for money are over. I was never fan of their UI and software experience but simply having them as a competition with low prices always kept other companies in check and pushed the standards. I guess every good phone will now be starting from 400€ at launch
Ive had my Redmi Note 10 Pro for almost 1.5 years now and I dont see any real reason to upgrade to the newer versions. Before that I had a Mi Max 2 (had a few issues on that one) but bring back the Mi Max I say 😊
me too I'm still using Note 10 pro, never getting rid of that phone even if i decided to buy new phone , we will never get something similar with that price ever again most likely.
@@soheiladam7510 I like some of the newer phones but as I said still dont see a reason to get a new one. Well, maybe I would if I had lots of money lol And I do like bigger screen phones thats why I miss my mi max 2. Had a 6.44" screen but at 16:9 aspect so even though its slightly smaller in height its much wider, i miss that. And I wish we still had a led notification light. Some phones have an aspect of 19:9 or 18:9..this would be a bit better for me. Rather than many like the Note 10 Pro that has 20:9.
@@Techtablets Thanks! I think "many" people are looking forward to Redmi Note 12 Pro as a kind of sweet spot in the RN12 series. If you have time some photo comparison video would be nice and watched in the coming months. My impression is that Sony sensors also give nicer colors and less oversharpening.
Android manufacturers (especially Xiaomi and Samsung) want to push their customers to buy their high-ends so much that they have completely destroyed their mid-ranges for 2-3 years. The problem, and I don't know if they realize it, but in 2-3 years, the big winners of this incongruous choice will be Google with its Pixels but above all Apple with its old models, 12/13/14 .
Within this pricing, it was a dog-eat-dog battle for units sold. This competition favoured consumers but has meant that margins for selling these have fallen to the point where the rivals are killing each other with loss-making. Clearly, that is stupid as a long-term business model, and I believe that they have agreed that price wars will damage all of their businesses. So now pricing is moving to a reasonable level for the OEMs. Apple has been playing the sensible game that Samsung follows in their shadows for years, as it is about survival, not all-out war. Smartphone OEMs can fail easier than in most markets (see Nokia, LG, HTC, and Blackberry), so a sensible business model like Apple is good practice.
Pls help me chose which mid range phone to buy. I damaged my previous redmi note 10 Pro it was amazing it worked well for me. Now I need new phone urgently but confuse which one to buy. Should I get redmi note 12 pro or honor 70 or samsung a54? I am looking to buy phone with 256gb internal memory.. I like my phone to work fast and battery to not become weaker overtime where it would need to be charged more often Budget no more than £300-450 Max 500.
Great reviews as always. I plan to get one good Xiaomi if you could help me with one category here. Which is the loudest Xiaomi phone via loudspeakers?
I actually bought one at launch in China last November but returned it. The photos were good for the price but the rear video quality was really bad with no eis at 4k or 1080p 60fps and 1080p 30fps video had eis but was of poor quality. It's a waste of a good sensor when they do this. They won't enable it as they do this to distinguish between the expensive and cheaper models. Actually, i guess the Redmi note 12 turbo with snapdragon 7 gen 2+ will have it next week but then that will just have an OV64b main camera. You just need to pay more if you want good cameras with Xiaomi
Yes it's a big let down in the video dept, not just the lack of EIS with 4k but the ultrawide and front video are very poor. I guess Xiaomi want's us to spend 1400 euros on the 13 Pro model for good video and cameras! Yikes.
7 years before I bought the Redmi Note 3 Pro, I had paid 140 euros, 3 years before I decided to buy the Realme 3 Pro and since then I only trust her, I bought Realme Neo 3T 250 euros to replace my GT Master Edition, the prices announced by Xiaomi are ridiculous
Not sure Oppo didn't send me one, but I might buy it. I'll decide tomorrow as I think it could be one of the best phones alongside the S23 Ultra and Magic5 Pro for 2023 flagships so far!
@@Techtablets Brilliant. I think I've whittled my choice down to the 5 Pro and Oppo but would like to obtain more info on each. Looking forward to your full review of the Magic 5 Pro!
If it had wireless charging yes, I'm in camp redmi note since model 7 but in 2023 I'd want that (but still with a sd card slot and headphones jack, fuck "flagships")
Welcome to inflation. Comes every 10-15 years and means everything rises in price, and some goods rise even faster. Inflation in tech was about 30%. Only so long can OEMs absorb this without making their business unviable, so it will inevitably be passed to consumers. The Pixel is used as a ray of light as to no price rises, but that is owned by Google, and they can use it as a loss-leader (Pixel never made money) for omnipresence marketing and a halo product.
Hello there, im looking forward to buy this phone. Can tell me if theres any heating issues? Charging problems? Or any problem related to it. ( Im not a heavy gamer or a photographer )
I have no clue what happened to Xiaomi. They completely forgot how to process images. The X2, X3 NFC, Mi 10T era were legendary. Too many phone models, too much work pressure on OS updates, poor mix of sensor and main chip, this company is lost or confused now.

hello Sir. great review. i live in the Caribbean twin Island, of Trinidad and Tobago. we have a concern amnd its about the charging brick with the round pins. we cannot use that here, so why isnt there the flat pin version of the charging brick available? not all countries are able to use such charging block and thats the reason, why a number of people would not be able to purchase this phone we so love. is there a charging block with flat pins, that would be able to charge the redmi note 12 pro/pro plus? thanks for your help
Thank you! Been a fan since 2016 ❤️
I'm wait you to Review this Phone beacause you are honest RUclipsr Thank you Do much 🖐
Thanks for watching! Means a lot.
xiaomi seems to have increased prices without increasing quality.has anything improved since redmi note 10 pro?
Always the best reviews
Yeah nah, but thanks anyway mate!
That Thumbnail though is fire Chris Been waiting this a while here to see your review for this Monster..😅😅😅 Early Bird
Thanks, I hope you enjoyed it!
Do you still have the yoga tab 13? What rom do you have on it? I have the chinese rom on Android 11 and i am afraid to even update the small security update i have awaiting for me. Some global uses complain about atmos problems. Can you do a follow up? Obviously on Lenovo forums its as silent as in a church from Lenovo staff because noone there obviously have no idea how to even speak English so yeah... Please.. i am alomg subscriber even though i now write from my second account
@TechTablets Hey mate, can you recommend a phone in redmi 12 pro + price range?
I bought this phone back in November in China for around 270€. The international pricing is ridiculous
Hahaa they are crazy. At that price I won't buy a redmi phone. Instead I will buy an old flagship smartphone. The main selling point for a Xiaomi was about the price
Can you review the ZTE Nubia Z50? (Chinese version does support Band 20, also the most affordable Snapdragon 8Gen 2 phone around ~450 Euros)
If ZTE sends me one yes, but so far no reply from them.
Can you do video explaining the xiaomi gallery issue with files being corrupted after being saved or downloaded?
Thx for the review. I see that it also got a bigger punch hole compared to it's predecessors. I'm looking for a successor for my Redmi Note 10 Pro and I thought about 12 Pro+ but it's not good enough for it's price. Nubia Z50 Ultra has a similar price and I hope that it will come to Europe.
Can Someone explain the vibration? The vibration of Note 12 is stronger then note 12 pro, what about the pro plus or pro 5g???
Xiaomi is out of their freaking mind..450 euros for this phone? Pixel 7a will cost around 500 bit more or less!even now there much more better options in the market from this phone.
In Greece it's like 350 euros only and the 7a 200 euros more. So it's actually an amazing price
@@mikegriego21 sorry but you're wrong,right now as we speak,you can find it 400 euros and not from official retailers..there it costs 470-480...even in 400 pixel 7a makes much more sense.
@@mormegil5678its $425 here in my country
They are for sale for 310 ehros where i live lol its a decent price for this phone
I have a pixel 6 and I don't really like it. Very disappointed by google. Never again.
Will you review Samsung A54 by any chance? Im really interested in your opinion.
Yes if Samsung sends me one.
Unfortunately it seems like the days of Xiaomi offering good value for money are over. I was never fan of their UI and software experience but simply having them as a competition with low prices always kept other companies in check and pushed the standards. I guess every good phone will now be starting from 400€ at launch
Ive had my Redmi Note 10 Pro for almost 1.5 years now and I dont see any real reason to upgrade to the newer versions.
Before that I had a Mi Max 2 (had a few issues on that one) but bring back the Mi Max I say 😊
me too I'm still using Note 10 pro, never getting rid of that phone even if i decided to buy new phone , we will never get something similar with that price ever again most likely.
@@soheiladam7510
I like some of the newer phones but as I said still dont see a reason to get a new one.
Well, maybe I would if I had lots of money lol
And I do like bigger screen phones thats why I miss my mi max 2. Had a 6.44" screen but at 16:9 aspect so even though its slightly smaller in height its much wider, i miss that.
And I wish we still had a led notification light.
Some phones have an aspect of 19:9 or 18:9..this would be a bit better for me.
Rather than many like the Note 10 Pro that has 20:9.
@@fonzitheman I feel you, I like bigger screens too, that's one of the reasons I chose Note 10 pro.
The mi max 3 was a beast...loved it !!
Nice. Camera is really great. I personally love the 120w charging. I really love your reviews. More power!
Thanks for watching!
@@Techtablets Im always excited to watch your videos. Love your honest opinion regarding camera and gaming capabilities.
I appreciate your opinion suggesting other phones such as the upcoming Samsung A54
Thanks but I don’t think Xiaomi would who sent me this review unit 😬
It is a pity you didn't get a Note 12 Pro review unit, that one comes with Sony IMX766
Got it, it's the same. No really the main camera is maybe a little better. The rest is the same story but for the $$$ I would go for it over the Pro+
@@Techtablets Thanks! I think "many" people are looking forward to Redmi Note 12 Pro as a kind of sweet spot in the RN12 series. If you have time some photo comparison video would be nice and watched in the coming months. My impression is that Sony sensors also give nicer colors and less oversharpening.
Beside RN 11 4G which will cost 200 EUR
Excellent review as always man 👍
Much appreciated!
Good review Chris! Do you think is better than Realme 10 pro+. Btw do you will review the honor magic 5 lite, it in your plans
Maybe, but only just. As for the Honor Magic5 Lite if they sent me one I would.
Android manufacturers (especially Xiaomi and Samsung) want to push their customers to buy their high-ends so much that they have completely destroyed their mid-ranges for 2-3 years.
The problem, and I don't know if they realize it, but in 2-3 years, the big winners of this incongruous choice will be Google with its Pixels but above all Apple with its old models, 12/13/14 .
Within this pricing, it was a dog-eat-dog battle for units sold. This competition favoured consumers but has meant that margins for selling these have fallen to the point where the rivals are killing each other with loss-making. Clearly, that is stupid as a long-term business model, and I believe that they have agreed that price wars will damage all of their businesses. So now pricing is moving to a reasonable level for the OEMs. Apple has been playing the sensible game that Samsung follows in their shadows for years, as it is about survival, not all-out war. Smartphone OEMs can fail easier than in most markets (see Nokia, LG, HTC, and Blackberry), so a sensible business model like Apple is good practice.
Pls help me chose which mid range phone to buy. I damaged my previous redmi note 10 Pro it was amazing it worked well for me.
Now I need new phone urgently but confuse which one to buy.
Should I get redmi note 12 pro or honor 70 or samsung a54?
I am looking to buy phone with 256gb internal memory.. I like my phone to work fast and battery to not become weaker overtime where it would need to be charged more often
Budget no more than £300-450
Max 500.
For £450 I'd expect a snapdragon gen 1 or even 2.
Great reviews as always. I plan to get one good Xiaomi if you could help me with one category here. Which is the loudest Xiaomi phone via loudspeakers?
Hmm mi 11 Ultra i think it was. Or mi 12 pro.
@@Techtablets Thanks 👍
I just received my Redmi note 12 pro speed version yesterday!!! Mine has a Qualcomm 778g
778G is good
I hope the new thumbnail design will help with you viewcount man. You deserve more views.
Thanks, I hope so! It's the idea.
Full review of honor magic 5 pro? When to expect????
Redmi started asking premium for their Note series, it's big no with no assured updates considering the brand history
It’s a big ask…
@@Techtablets I think Pixel 6a would be more ideal for a normal user..
Honor 90 or buy redmi note 12 pro plus?
Thanks
Is this same or different compared to redmi note 12 turbo?
in China it's 1599 yuan, which converts to 216 euros or 234 USD :D
All phones are much cheaper in China. For, e.g. the OPPO Find X6 Pro is around $820; in the UK, that would be nearer to £1200 ($1300).
@@andyH_England true that , just wanted to put it into perspective hehe 😊
When is the Redmi note 12 ultra coming out ?.
Please tell us, is there an FM radio?
Nope, no FM tuner onboard.
I actually bought one at launch in China last November but returned it. The photos were good for the price but the rear video quality was really bad with no eis at 4k or 1080p 60fps and 1080p 30fps video had eis but was of poor quality. It's a waste of a good sensor when they do this. They won't enable it as they do this to distinguish between the expensive and cheaper models. Actually, i guess the Redmi note 12 turbo with snapdragon 7 gen 2+ will have it next week but then that will just have an OV64b main camera. You just need to pay more if you want good cameras with Xiaomi
Yes it's a big let down in the video dept, not just the lack of EIS with 4k but the ultrawide and front video are very poor. I guess Xiaomi want's us to spend 1400 euros on the 13 Pro model for good video and cameras! Yikes.
@@Techtablets Yeah, thanks for another great review
7 years before I bought the Redmi Note 3 Pro, I had paid 140 euros, 3 years before I decided to buy the Realme 3 Pro and since then I only trust her, I bought Realme Neo 3T 250 euros to replace my GT Master Edition, the prices announced by Xiaomi are ridiculous
Great review. Will you be doing one of the Oppo Find x6 Pro?
Not sure Oppo didn't send me one, but I might buy it. I'll decide tomorrow as I think it could be one of the best phones alongside the S23 Ultra and Magic5 Pro for 2023 flagships so far!
@@Techtablets Brilliant. I think I've whittled my choice down to the 5 Pro and Oppo but would like to obtain more info on each. Looking forward to your full review of the Magic 5 Pro!
Magic5 Pro review coking next month (due to embargo) OPPO Find X6 Pro maybe in April.
@@Techtablets Looking forward to it. 👍
If it had wireless charging yes, I'm in camp redmi note since model 7 but in 2023 I'd want that (but still with a sd card slot and headphones jack, fuck "flagships")
Well at least we get 3.5mm here.
This redmi is way too expensive IMO..
Btw what do you think about the k60 pro? is it worth over the mi12t pro?
I ask you to make a comparison between Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus in photography and performance vs Redmi K40 Pro
The price is totally unreasonable, what are you doing Xiaomi
Yes and then 1400 euros for the Xiaomi 13 Pro is a bit of a shock.
@@Techtablets 💯
Welcome to inflation. Comes every 10-15 years and means everything rises in price, and some goods rise even faster. Inflation in tech was about 30%. Only so long can OEMs absorb this without making their business unviable, so it will inevitably be passed to consumers. The Pixel is used as a ray of light as to no price rises, but that is owned by Google, and they can use it as a loss-leader (Pixel never made money) for omnipresence marketing and a halo product.
Great review Chris 👍
Thanks 👍
Awesome unboxing keep it up as always Sir
Thanks! Will do!
Hey Chris, will you review the galaxy s23?
I have one and it's my main phone. I might post a video on my thoughts.
@@Techtablets looking forward to
Oh I have the S23 Ultra buy the way not S23
I Just Buy this phone
Hello there, im looking forward to buy this phone. Can tell me if theres any heating issues? Charging problems? Or any problem related to it. ( Im not a heavy gamer or a photographer )
Totally off topic, did anyone ever tell you you look like former F1 driver David Coulthard ?
Ah maybe once before :)
More like to Dieter Bohlen from the band Modern talking!
@@gdimelis Agree ! I didn't know this Swiss guy, even if I'm Swiss myself...
When will be the Galaxy A54 review???
When Samsung sends it to me 🙃
In 2019, OIS camera on a midrange would be so rare
Thanks for the comments, it's a very great help to my choice.
No worries!
I feel like Redmi peaked with the Note 10 Pro.
Same
Totally agree with you on that one
No joke that's a whole complete set of a phone except for USB3.0
I have no clue what happened to Xiaomi. They completely forgot how to process images. The X2, X3 NFC, Mi 10T era were legendary. Too many phone models, too much work pressure on OS updates, poor mix of sensor and main chip, this company is lost or confused now.
Look at the photo sampls from the GSM-arena review of RN12Pro+. They actually look great.
@@flipp081 Saw them. I have yet to see full sized samples. I'm a pixel peeper.
I'm looking at the redmi note 12 pro. Waiting for the price to drop a bit. I currently have the redmi note 9
Better value for money that model.
Xiaomi nowadays never think about Pixel A series pricing lol
Mate! If it had sd card slot this would be such a great phone.
MicroSD card, firmware updates for the cameras and a price drop yes!
after many flagship from the past why can't just use older flagship camera instead of new but rubbish.
Please do Iqoo 12 pro vs Vivo x100 pro comparison
RUclips sadly doesn't support high refresh rates sadly on 60hrz. 😢
I think the regular 12 Pro will be better deal.
Yes it is. As mentioned towards the end with my final thoughts.
That thumbnail is fresh 🔥
Thanks, trying something new.
Just go for Redmi note 11 pro +
500€ for a Redmi phone is very steep
210g is rather abit too excessive ngl, but the spec is what most flagships have
Should be fine as a mid ranger but oohh my for the pricing..ill just get a samsung with 4-5 years support
