Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G: Now the best camera is not limited to only expensive phones
Big change in the mobile world
Till now we all have believed that if we want a smartphone with a good camera, strong display and premium design, then we have to loosen our pockets. But Xiaomi has completely changed this thinking. Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G is a phone that is offering all the features at a low price which were till now available only in expensive phones.
This phone shows that in today’s date, enjoying great mobile photography is no longer just a matter of the rich.
Xiaomi’s mission: Everyone should get premium experience
When Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G in the Indian market, it was not just another budget phone. It was a clear message – now mid-range phones are also entitled to premium features.
Xiaomi kept the cost low by adopting smart engineering and the right manufacturing process, but did not compromise on the features.
For example, the company focused on things that really matter to ordinary users – like camera quality, display experience, battery life and charging speed. Let’s understand all this in detail.
Camera: Now everyone can become a mobile photographer
The biggest highlight of the Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G is its 108-megapixel primary camera. This is the same Samsung HM2 sensor that was previously available only in expensive phones.
But megapixels alone do not matter. The real wonder is the technology used in it – pixel binning. This means that 9 small pixels are combined to form a large pixel, which captures more light in the photo and there is less noise.
Low light? Still a clear picture
When you take photos at night or in low light, usually the pictures of budget phones come out blurry. But with the help of this phone’s night mode, the photo not only looks bright but the colors also remain natural.
108MP mode: Every hair counts in the photo
If you take a photo in 108MP mode, the details are so great that you can see a clear picture even by zooming. This is great for everything from social media posts to printing small posters.
Macro camera: Not just for show
Many phones in the market have macro cameras just for name sake. But the macro camera given in this comes with autofocus, which makes it easy to take photos of flowers, leaves or small things.
Software: Taking pro level photos is now child’s play
If you have a great camera but it is difficult to use, then the fun is spoiled. The camera app of Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G is great in this case.

- Color: Subtle and stylish colors like Onyx Black, Polar White are available.
- Side fingerprint: The power button itself has a fingerprint sensor, which unlocks quickly and accurately.
