The three new devices that make up this smartphone range, along with their South African pricing, are listed below:

• Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 – R5,499
• Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro – R7,499
• Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G – R11,999

The new Xiaomi smartphones stand out for the impressive technologies they offer at a reasonable price point, making them ideal for South Africans who prioritize value for money.

Starting at only R5,499, user will receive excellent photographic capabilities, rapid fast charging support, and impressive 120Hz displays.

These are among the first features users look for when buying a new smartphone – and as a customer-centric brand, Xiaomi prioritizes them accordingly.

We detail each of the new Redmi Note 12 smartphones’ key features below.

Redmi Note 12

Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 12 is priced at only R5,499 and offers features that far exceed those in more expensive smartphones.

For example: the Note 12 has a 50MP triple-sensor AI camera array that will take excellent photos in every situation.

Whether you are immortalizing a stunning landscape, or want to capture the intricate details of a flower, the Redmi Note 12’s camera can do it all.

It also uses AI to optimize your photos in challenging conditions – including low-light situations where it is difficult to take high-quality photos.

You can then keep snapping photos for longer thanks to the 5,000mAh battery built into the Redmi Note 12, which will keep your smartphone running all day.

What is even more impressive about this battery, particularly in such an affordable smartphone, is that it supports 33W fast charging.

This will help you power up your Note 12 much faster than most competing devices – a particularly useful feature during high stages of load-shedding.

Another stand-out feature is the Note 12’s 6.67-inch 120Hz AMOLED display.

It is incredibly rare for a smartphone in this price range to have such an advanced  display, and its high-end refresh rate will be particularly noticeable when scrolling through your apps and social media feed, and when watching videos.

Thanks to this display, its fast-charging support, and its excellent photography capabilities, the Redmi Note 12 offers unbeatable value.

Redmi Note 12 Pro

If you’re looking to balance price and performance, you won’t find a better smartphone than the Redmi Note 12 Pro.

The Note 12 Pro is priced at only R7,499 and compares favourably with a wide range of much more expensive smartphones.

Its Quad AI camera system is a particular highlight, headlined by an incredible 108MP primary sensor.

This camera system can capture a range of photos in outstanding clarity and detail, making it the ultimate smartphone for avid photographers and social media influencers on a budget.

You can also take these photos for longer thanks to the Note 12 Pro’s 5,000mAh battery – which can be charged up quickly through 67W fast charging.

This level of fast charging is rare – even in flagship smartphones – and is a big selling point for South Africans who want to keep their smartphones on between load-shedding outages.

These impressive, flagship-tier features headlining the Redmi Note 12 Pro are unrivalled in its segment.

Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G

The ultimate smartphone in this range is the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G.

It has a recommended retail price of only R11,999 and packs all the flagship technologies you could wish for.

This includes a 200MP ultra-HD camera system, which will take exceptional photos at incredibly high resolutions.

You won’t find better camera capabilities at this price point – making the Note 12 Pro+ 5G the best option available for aspiring content creators.

The powerful camera is then complemented by 256GB of built-in storage to save all your best photos and videos, along with a 5,000mAh battery that supports 120W HyperCharge technology.

HyperCharge will take your smartphone from 0-100% in only 19 minutes – ensuring you never run out of battery when load-shedding hits.

The design of the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G is just as impressive as its features.

It sports a glossy finish on the back of and holds the smartphone’s impressive camera system in a stylish rectangular camera frame.

On the front, the Note 12 Pro+ 5G’s 120Hz display has ultra-thin bezels, which are ideal for maximizing the screen size.

It then feels solid and well-balanced in the hand and catches the eye thanks to its understated, classy finishes.
