Redmi Note 12 5G series launched in India

We're finally one step closer to getting to know the Redmi Note 12 5G series. Although the series has only made its debut in India, it's only a step away from coming to us.

Three phones in the Redmi Note 12 5G series were launched in India:

• Redmi Note 12 5G
• Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G
• Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G

The compared to their Chinese buddies not quite the same. We have these phones in China, but in India, globally, they have not appeared in the same way. The Redmi Note 12 5G in China doesn't look like any of the phones. The global versions have the same design as the Chinese Redmi Note 12 Pro, with slight differences. I'm getting into it...

In summary. The Redmi Note 12 5G series delivers what you'd expect. They've taken a step up from the previous generation in terms of performance and knowledge. I have nothing to say about prices, they are far above Chinese prices. So we can expect it to go up in this country. Let's say if it sells as well as the previous ones, it will be a good buy. I'm eagerly awaiting the domestic announcement, but there will probably be a European launch first. See you on YouTube then.
