An almost complete copy of the previous model Xiaomi Redmi Note 11S, even with a slight downgrade. The model only slightly changed its appearance and got rid of one of the rear camera modules (depth sensor). Otherwise, Xiaomi Redmi Note 12S 256GB is absolutely no different from its predecessor. The smartphone is still powered by the MediaTek Helio G96 octa-core chipset without a built-in 5G modem and has a 6.43-inch AMOLED screen with a refresh rate of 90Hz.

The picture on the display of the mobile gadget is displayed in the maximum resolution of Full HD + (2400x1080 pixels). In the upper segment of the central plane of the screen, you can see the lens of a 16 MP selfie camera. The main photo module of the smartphone combines a trio of image sensors: 108 MP main sensor, 8 MP ultra-wide and 2 MP macro lens. The device is powered by an energy-intensive 5000 mAh battery with a 33-watt wired charging function. The smartphone got an NFC chip, a side fingerprint scanner and a proprietary infrared port.
