Have you heard of the Redmi Note 12s? Check out the specifications of the device and take advantage of the great promotion it is on.
Another cell phone from the Redmi Note 12 line gets a review here at Achei Celular. This time the 12s model. The 12s model, which sits above the Note 12 4G, is equipped with a 108 MP camera that is normally seen in Xiaomi's premium flagships.
Let's look at the pros and cons and whether it's worth buying this basic cell phone from the brand. The cell phone is currently on sale at a great discount at Amazon. Check out more details about the promotion and the device below.
Design and construction
Xiaomi has tried to standardize the design of its flagship products, and the Redmi Note The 12s has a lot in common with other models in the family. The difference lies in the camera unit, which has a larger lens and is taller thanks to a higher resolution sensor that takes up more space. This makes the device thicker than the simpler line, but since the screen here is smaller, you have a more compact device.
The design is almost completely flat, with slight curves on the back and front to improve grip and make the phone more comfortable in the hand. The phone is made entirely of plastic, has a matte finish with a chromatic effect and is available in three variants. In addition to the blue phone, you can also find the Redmi Note 12s in black and green. In both, the large block that houses the camera is black, with a different finish than the rest of the back.
Screen and features
Just like the cheaper models online, this model also lacks 5G connectivity. It has 5th generation Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.2 for 5GHz networks. There are also two versions, one with NFC and one without NFC. So be careful when buying.
Xiaomi seems to have saved money on the panel it chose to invest in a more powerful camera sensor. While the most basic member of the line comes equipped with a 120 Hz screen, this one has a 6.43-inch display with Full HD+ resolution and a 90 Hz refresh rate with AMOLED technology. It makes up for it, at least in terms of brightness, it is better than the cheaper ones and really stands out in its category. This makes the Redmi Note 12s more suitable for people who usually use the phone outdoors and have no problem viewing content in sunlight. The panel adopted has wide contrast and viewing angles.
Another thing that's better than the Note 12 is the sound, in this case stereo. The maximum power isn't the highest in this category, but it doesn't disappoint even in noisy places. There's a good balance between bass and mids, with no distortion at maximum volume, but the treble eventually becomes more prominent.
System and battery
The Redmi Note 12s is powered by the Helio G96, a relatively old MediaTek hardware that has also been used in previous models in the series and is found in several Poco phones. It's a shame when manufacturers reuse parts from previous products to keep costs down, but the good news is that it performed well in speed tests. The 8GB of RAM allows you to keep apps open in the background. The Redmi Note 12s is also available in a version with 6GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage.
The Redmi Note 12s is equipped with a 5,000 mAh battery and achieves incredible autonomy in standard tests, providing a decent 30 hours of use with some games. It provides a simple battery life of up to 2 days. This is another Xiaomi device that comes with a 33W charger. It takes almost an hour and 20 minutes to fully charge the battery, which seems slow compared to other mid-range products from the brand.
Camera game
The camera kit is the same as the previous generation, except that Xiaomi has launched a special camera for blur. So we have a 108MP main sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide sensor and a third macro sensor of just 2MP. Even though it has a high-resolution sensor, don't expect incredible photos. MediaTek's older hardware limits post-processing and the images are less sharp than those seen on Xiaomi's top-of-the-line model, which uses the same sensor.
