Redmi 12 is basically that one guy in school that's just trying to get a passing grade on every exam. Not necessarily a great student to be noticed by anyone but enough to land him a stable job after he graduate

Watching this video on Redmi 12.
Good budget friendly phone
If u don't have high priorities and just want a good phone for daily use, this one is fine.

I rarely make comments like these but I have to say this was a really nice review. Super straight to the point, full of information, and enjoyable to watch.

[AbdulRehman-zlmj]

Really glad to see that you guys cover the entire spectrum of tests. Literally, the peak of professionalism, every tech creator should strive to achieve.

Also you (almost) cover every possible device all categories from budget to flagship level and that's a great feat in itself.

considering the price and the premium looks its good!

[ThabangMokoena-rj]

I bought this phone last month, unfortunately after two weeks i lost it, im definitely gonna buy another one coz its great phone.

[JoLLyLV-PS]

Got this phone today it’s more enough for me 😊

[nikolajovicic]

I would buy this phone mainly because of the cool pastel blue colour and the fact it has the back made of glass

[babymore]

Redmi is the best phone for me coz i been using my phone almost 4yrs now

[stephenacton]

U have to give correct info in Ur reviews! I almost didn't buy my redmi 12(typing on now) coz u said "accidental touches during voice call".... proximity sensor present or not, during calls the display of my phone is off....GSM arena is compromised at least for me....

Hi
At 3.51 you said camera 12.5 megapixel but this phone have 50 mega pixel 8 mega ans 2 mega

This phone is so well rounded. It puts the iPhone 13/14 to shame.

[laurentpenot]

the 5g version was supposed to be released early August but can't see it anywhere... any info !?

[nickostv]

Actually I have an iPhone 12 promax but I've order this phone today for backup and daily use purposes. Nice phone and nice design.

The 5G version is quite a lot different under the hood:
-Snapdragon 4 gen 2 (4nm) instead of Helio G88 (12nm)
-depth camera instead of ultrawide and macro cameras

[distar]

Solid but nothing to get excited about.

[AllMoodsMusic]

I bought one of these phones and have been using it for 2 or 3 months now. Just ordered a new phone as this one isn't up to scratch for my needs. The RAM is awful and every time you switch apps it has to refresh. Super annoying. I'll keep this in the drawer as a back up incase anything happens my new phone. One Plus 12R on the way 🙌🏻

[aryakarkera]

Is Poco M5 better even though being launched 1 year prior.

[DRIVER-SEBVET]

What's the point of launching a "supposedly new phone" when the older one was the same or better 🤔
Isn't it a waste of resources that could've been better used elsewhere 🤔

[dannydevito]

why don't you consider the samsung M-series ? would have been interesting a review of m14 and m23 with speakers laboratory tests
