Build Quality
after all the display is important because that's the medium we use to interact with our smartphones it comes with a 6.67 inch 1080p AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 120 hertz in some applications the display refreshes at 120 hertz while in others for some reason it refreshes as 60 heads even though when you go into the settings and set it to refresh at 120 hertz for brightness the redmi note 12 has the brightest display in its price category it Peaks at 1200 nits making the display usable and readable under direct sunlight now how good is the display for consuming content
Display
well it doesn't support HDR for starters but apart from that it looks good if you're watching standard videos plus the size of the display at 6.67 inches is large enough to make consuming content on it a massive as mentioned earlier the redmi note 12 4G comes with a Snapdragon 685 chipset a 6 nanometer processor on paper it has the fastest chipset when you compare it with other smartphones within its price category running synthetic Benchmark applications the redmi note 12 has a score of 295k on antutu for geekbench it has a single core score of 400 174 and a multi-core score of 1472.
Processor, Antutu score, geek bench score, PUBG, Call of Duty, Genshin Impact
again it has the best score for its class with the Snapdragon processor and the Arduino 610 GPU the redmi note 12 runs games at a lower Graphics settings and frame rate compared to other smartphones within its price category for instance playing pubg it played the game at balance graphics and medium frame rate it ran the game at 30 FPS and with that you are not going to win a lot of chicken dinners for Call of Duty it's played a game at high graphics and medium frame rates it ran the game at 30 FPS again not the best gaming experience for Genji impacts one of the most demanding games on mobile redmi note 12 ran the game at low graphics and for the most part the game was playable with its lag in here and there now the redmi note 12 that I have here comes with 4 gigabytes of RAM and if you launch a game go to the home screen open an app and go back to the game the game is going to close so if you're big on multitasking I'll recommend you go for the 6 or 8 gigabytes Ram version also if you're a big fan of second space the four gigabytes round version doesn't have it so again you need to go for the six or eight gigabyte RAM version for the Android operating system the redmi note 12 is running Android 13 with MIUI 14.0.5 and as usual with redmi smartphones you should get two major OS updates and three years of security updates with this device for bloatware's this Smartphone has a few of them but luckily you can uninstall them now moving to the cameras the redmi note 12 4G has a 30 megapixel front facing camera picture captured indoors adjusted to be honest they won't blow you away but as soon as you step outside you're going to be like wow,
Cameras
okay this camera isn't bad at all dynamic range is decent on this Smartphone this is what it looks like without it on so when you're outside and you're going to be capturing the cloud you better turn on HDR zooming in the details captured by the 30 megapixel camera is decent overall the picture is captured by the front facing camera is alright another area where the front facing camera shines is in taking portrait pictures it does a very decent job of separating this subject from the background also HDR mode doesn't kick in when you're taking portraits so you need to watch out for that so here's a video from the 30 megapixel front fencing camera on the redmi Note 12 4G it's shooting in 1080P 30 FPS no 4k on the smartphone no video stabilization what do you guys think about the video quality and the audio quality coming out from the 30 megapixel front facing camera let me know in the comment section below also how is it the handling dynamic range from the display it's just white I can't see anything
but maybe when I go to my laptop it's going to bring out the details of the cloud and all that so what do you guys think about the video quality and the audio quality coming out from this 13 megapixel front facing camera let me know in the comment section below now one thing I just realized is when recording it's applying skin smoothing my skin is not that smooth but uh what do you guys think about it it's a feature that ladies will like definitely but would men like it I don't know let me know what you guys think about this skin smoothing in the comment section below now moving to the rear cameras the redmi note 12 4G comes with a 50 megapixel main camera and 8 megapixel Ultra wide camera and a 2 megapixel micro camera for Animals the 50 megapixel main camera does a very good job as you can see the pictures look ready for social media zooming into the pictures the details are not bad the AI does a good job in detecting flowers and other objects and increasing the saturation to make the flower pop now taking pictures in those the photos look good although if your dark is going to make your skin a little bit brownish taking Pottery shots
Outdoors the camera does well sometimes and in other times it doesn't but when it does well the picture looks good the 8 megapixel Ultra wide camera doesn't look bad at all it looks decent so this is the 50 megapixel rear camera on the redmi Note 12 4G the shooting in 1080P 30fps no 4k on the smartphone what do you guys think about the video quality and the audio quality let me know in the comment section below alright guys so I'm using the 50 megapixel main camera to record this video a children in 1080P 30 FPS no 4K this camera doesn't have a ois but it has Eis electronic image stabilization and let me just pick up the paste and Jog a bit what you guys think about the stabilization let me know in the comment section below switching to the 8 megapixel ultra white camera it still can shoot in 1080P 30 FPS no 4K what do you guys think about the video quality and uh let's test out the stabilization it has Eis as well jogging and what do you guys think about this stabilization let me know in the comment section below and right now this is the 8 megapixel Ultra wide camera on the redmi Note 12 4G

Battery
it's actually a good one for the battery charging time it charges from zero to 100 in one hour four minutes when I tested it out overall I think the redmi note 12 4G is a solid device for the price you get a device that has an AMOLED display you are not going to find another device with an AMOLED display at this price point the battery life is great same with the battery charging time also the cameras are decent for the price now regarding its performance it's a mix for me although it's the fastest smartphone within its price category
Conclusion
but when it comes to gaming it's a little bit behind also the refresher is switching from 120 hertz to 60 hertz in some applications bothers me maybe a software update will fix that so that's my review of the redmi note 12 4G thanks for watching and I'll see you guys in another video Valor reviews signing out foreign
