Can you use an external sound recorder with shooting video?
thanks for the video, may i ask if got storage expansion? also, got EIS for video recording?
No EIS, it does have expandable storage but you're better off going for older variants (Redmi Note 11 or even 10 are better)
There is eis on rear but not in front
It makes soo much sense to buy this phone because the software update on Xiaomi phones kills 5g compatibility anyways.
Great video audio. Congrats
i have the 4g version onyx grey 256/8 gigs and its great
Hope you test the video cam while walking to test the EIS stabilization.
does it built with loudspeaker?
Hi, which phone has better camera - Redmi 12 or Redmi Note 12? Thank you
Should i upgrade from realme 9 4g to redmi note 12 4g?
Does the 4G version support Carrier Aggregation?
When you review camera please do close up microscope zoom on something small like a dead fly. Note the zoom, clarity and focal length of that. Needed for people who work on small items like electronics.
Does this work with usb-c to usb-c charging?
This is a fair review, unlike others with i don't know if they got paid or sponsored to make a review of this device. I just bought mine yesterday.
Hello I just got mine is well however I have this problem where the camera icon of the phone has a small red dot on the corner, I don't know what that means
Can you use a stylus with this fone?
Why does the camera icon on this ohone have a red dot on the cirner, what does this mean? I dont know what to do about it
Bhai redmi not 12 4g me front camera ke upar display spekar me zaali (grill) aati he ki nay
this model got NFC?
For testing video performance, You must check dynamically including stability test and not just showing still footage
A lazy youtuber
this one or 11s?
Sir, I wanna asked, redmi note 12 4G the type loudspeaker is stereo or mono? Sorry bad english
It's mono
Is there a limit of how big the microsd can be to be used on this phone? (how big, meaning the amount of storage)
That isn't an issue. I am using 1 TB SanDisk Extreme microSDXC card with my A73 5G , Android 13.

which is louder speaker Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 or Xiaomi Redmi Note 11???????
Just like last year's chipset, the SD 685 on the Redmi Note 12 4g doesn't have a 4k@30fps option for video recording, while performance is better. But, for a budget smartphone it's still decent.
is it using the common 3-choose-2 hybrid SIM card tray?
or does it retain Redmi Note 11's 2+1 SIM card tray which allows 2 SIM cards and 1 dedicated microSD slot?
It has a dedicated micro SD card slot
@@B_L_A_C_K_000
i asked a few sellers on Shopee, they all said none of the Redmi Note 12 series has a dedicated microSD slot.
GSMArena also states that the slot is shared, not dedicated.
looks like they also never check properly before putting out the info...
This phone is awesome. Very smooth and feels nice to hold. Obv this is a budget-friendly phone so don’t expect the best specs, but it’s good enough to run Genshin Impact at medium graphics and Mobile Legends at ultra. Worth every penny if you ask me ;))
P.s. try to get the 8/256 variant if you can! 4gb ram is pretty bad nowadays even for light usage
How is the speakers
Do you think it can handle Wildrift?
@@promiseakachukwu8100 very fucking bad. Just bought one... I dont understand anything if I put on my youtube videos... very disappointed... I wasnt even thinking that this in 2023 could be a problem. But here we are! Dont buy!
I have the 4/128 variant bought on sale for only 83 bucks and so far it is good.
I have the Redmi Note 12 4G and Genshin Impact runs at 20-40 fps with the lowest settings unfortunately
Out of 128gb how much storage do you get out of the box for this phone specifically?
Roughly 100gb
You keep saying in this price range but you don't mention the price.. ?
$13
Prices change overtime, they can't just say the price
199€ 64gb
@@Trybackk would be nice to know the price at the time of review
The price is not the same for every country
I have Xaomi Redmo Note 12 4g now 8Ram 256Rom, i can't find the OTG on the settings
Why is there same pictures in your video on Redmi 12 and Redmi note 12
6.57 or 6.67?
I got mine for $98 on a recent Xiaomi sale 😂 4/128GB great for soc med and watching.
gsmarena.. tempat ku untuk mengecek spesifikasi hp🔥🔥👏🏻👏🏻
Better option than the 5G variant. Thanks to the inclusion of both the 3.5 mm jack and the microSDXC card slot. 🙂
and it comes with android 13, 5g not
But i think the 5g version do also have a headphone jack
LIAR!
5G version also have 3.5mm jack!
@@K.Maroon I said "Thanks to the inclusion of BOTH the 3.5 mm jack AND the microSDXC card slot".
Learn to read first , you dolt.
5g version to past the battery drain And to much consume your internet, for me 5g not recommended
this or note11?
I bought the 4/128, how can I fix the lag?
nice phone for my mother. she only use phone for social media so it's great in her hands 😂 the most important part is the 256gb rom (her old phone has only 64gb and it was annoying her with full storage warning every time she tries to do anything lol
Patut kah sy beli poco f3 second atau redmi note 12 yg bru je..harga lebih kurang..dlam delima ni
Can someone name the games playing here? since i'd adjust for the gaming capacity of this model
Another year of SD685, bring on all the 4G entry/budget devices with this chip, as long as they are Value for Money just bring em
All these comments about 5G but 5G is still in early deployment, also most 5G phones are gimmicks with only 2 5G bands but labeled as 5G devices to hype up sales
This phone is far much better than so called budget king Tecno spark 10 pro.
True ❤.xiaomi best
question is how software for such price is trusted
I've always wondered if we can use more than the 33w charger in it if you know what i mean 😅
Thank you
Why is there a red dot on the corner of the camera icon?
Can you please do a review of realme 9 4g......
Peak brightness they claim 1200 nits.
But your measurement is around 700.
What is true?
We also need the XIAOMI REDMI NOTE 12 5G review.
I have problem with this device 😭
I granted all permission on call log, camera, messages, microphone etc but there is no sound on whatsApp calls(video and voice). The caller is able to hear me but I can't hear me. Downloaded MP3 plays but no sound. Volume is to the maximum. Phone calls work perfectly I can hear the caller. Please help 🙏
Redmi has so many Note 12 variants that it's really confusing 😵💫 They have same name but they could be a different phone in different regions
Yeah, there's global version, india version (which excludes google maps) , china version,
Still waiting for planet mars version 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm too tired for this version, that version, Europe version, Asian version.. Xiaomi should make a phone for every country..
There's the Redmi 12 (4G/Helio G88), Redmi Note 12 (4G/SD685), and Redmi Note 12 (5G/SD4G1). It's ridiculous.
thank you
This phone was really to use until few month later when it just started to become slow and unresponsive at times. I did a full factory reset, and again was working nice and smooth until another few months when it had the same issue. Unfortunately is seems to be the case with most budget phones, once you start to fill up its memory with photos and app (internet banking, social media, youtube, messengers etc) they just can't perform as well
Please make a video of the new version of note series of Redmi which is Redmi note 13 4g, I'm really looking forward to this review..
No 60 fps?
Do you think it will be a perfect camera by the software update?
Edit: sad to say no one answered so I bought realme 9 Pro 5G instead
Is there a software update coming?
@@Alowne217 I don't know that's why I asking this because I will buy Redmi Note 12 if they will fix
@@pissteauwu2135 How's the 9 Pro?
There was no update for RN 11's camera.
chipset it self has a good image processing power, but MIUI reduce it capabilities. if you need to broke the limits try use some gcams with custom configs. it will give you a good quality photos depend on the configs you apply.
Thank you very much❤
I bought one in Poland for....87$ (4G - 4/128 version). One carrier (PLUS) had a pirce bug for one whole day, and since this phone was on my watchlist i snagged one right away for 350PLN local (87$).
I would like you to always interact with the phone, the screen etc to drive home your point
I watch this video with Xiaomi Redmi 12 ❤
Very satisfied so far for daily work usage. The speaker is mono but still have great loudness tho I usually using Bluetooth speaker to listen music. The camera is great too. Not yet try games but for this range of price. It's absolutely great 👍
Do you have 4gb ram version? What about system performance when a lot of apps are opened?
How about front camera?
Is charger included in box?
@@hassanfaizan5831yes it does, my phone also came with a clear phone case.
I use the 3.5mm jack with headphones. Batteryless headphone technology with great audio
Can i remove the bottom gesture mark....???
In malaysia promo bought it for rm530 that's only around 120$

I Have cool blue colour
I am happy ... very nice phone
Game very fast.. ❤
watching using my redmi note 12 4g right now
Just got my phone
It really nice and fasy
Dude I was about to upgrade, until I heard that it's a single speaker setup, I'm so sad about that, I'm holding off for a bit
I can tell you it is horrible!! I couldnt even listen to youtube videos anymore... cant understand a word.
you din't mention that this device have a ir blaster
Good
This is much better than the 5G phones in my country. Having a 5G phone is still useless, so it's better to go for the RN12 4G instead for the camera and battery if you're in the Philippines.
pinoy should solve there country problem not make 5g
4g best network ❤
5G is more like wifi where it's extremely short range, 4G is better and has much longer range, it's also less power consuming.
5g is useless for countries with 5g as well... 4g is more than fast enough for your usual daily tasks
4G version looks better
True
i loved this phone but mine got a random screen problem for some reason
I was shook when I saw the Redmi Note 12 with 8GB/256GB for a cheaper price than the price of my Redmi Note 11 with 6GB/128GB (bought when it was releases), at the same official store here.
is the 8/256 variant available in physical store?
Ikr HAHAHAHAHA😢
Guys are you having issue with the brightness level of your redmi note 12 like i put the brightness to highest level and when you switch to different apps it keeps on dimming depending on the app? And also the volume when i put it on max level after sometime it will lower down by itself, thanks
Go in to settings and disable automatic dimming
it auto brightness stupid
The specs are similar to Redmi Note 10 pro. Does it worth it or should i consider buying Redmi Note 10 pro?
Note 10 pro has a 108mp main lens and better processor, that's note 10 pro is far better then note 12 4g
yeah but this will get more software support
@@alili945 Why software support is so important?
@@vasileiosmorossidis6857apps and games stop supporting older android versions
RN12 4g chipset have higher CPU clock speed and higher memory bandwidth and also higher GPU frequency
how much memory is 4 GB enough these days?
Yeah, if you're not a gamer.
Not good enough for multitasking, even going from chrome to facebook for example will cause them to restart most of the times you switch between them, the virtual ram doesn't help at all, even with 3gb activated.
I got this phone for $100 8/128. for my Mother-in-law and was suprised how well it is. It will be used mostly for RUclips, facebook, messenger and candy crush type games. The best thing about this phone is the 120hz Amoled screen.
Thanks for Review
Best of the best02023 from Xiaomi
I just got this phone
It's good for the price
💯💯💯
Good option to bridge for a couple of months
to bridge like what? i'm curious because i'm on the fence with this model
I thought this phone also had a 8/256 variant, no ?
Yes, but at that price point, just get an x5/x5 pro, the Snapdragon 685 in this is just too slow
@@MegaLoquendo2000 i found it for 174$ and even the cheapest x5 models are still relatively expensive compared to it, x5 also has a sd 695 now i do not know how much different these processors are, or how much more powerful the latter is, but compared to what i have now anything would feel like day and night
If you're given a option to buy one of these two 1.Redmi note 12 4g 2. Realme 10, which one would you buy?

Bought it at a discounted price. The 120Hz AMOLED Display is amazing!

I don't like Xiaomi as a main phone but I do love it for emulation and as a burner phone.
This would be great for retro gaming sessions.
i use it to have access to android and its disposable enough i get a new one every other year . simply put for me user experience is better on android than ios

wtf is burner

Is the camera that bad?
Technically no, however the software is a super light version of the standard app because the software needed to take advantage of the camera sensor is too intensive for the very weak processor and inadequate ram. Please don't buy it, it's junk.
It's decent
@@junejunes2024I tested it, and it was able to run most games while recording. However games runs well at 60 fps and when a game supports 120hz, it struggles to stay at that Framerate. Overall good budget phone for the price
At least it's not the Note 12 4G in China.
I love this phone. I paid 119€ in Germany for this. It is impressiv for this prize 😊.
got it for 78 euros equivalent (4/128) tho

Better yet, try to find the Redmi Note 10 Pro from 2 years ago - same processor, better cameras, 4K Video, stereo speakers. Seems like Xiaomi got some chips left behind from the 10 Pro factory and wanted to reuse them. The phone seems like an incarnation of the 10 Pro, except worse.
I am especially pissed of about the speakers... sound like dog shit.
