This post is brought to you by Xiaomi.
One month after making its debut in Malaysia, the Redmi Note 12 Series welcomes three new members—the Redmi Note 12S, Redmi Note 12 Pro and Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G. Each model provides exceptional value with never before seen features at their respective price points, widening the lineup’s appeal to even more users.
Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G: High-end Sony IMX766 image sensor for superior night photography
The Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G is priced at RM1,299, making it accessible to many. Despite this, its triple camera setup features a 50MP main camera that uses an image sensor previously only available on flagship phones—the large 1/1.56-inch Sony IMX766.
This sensor uses 4-to-1 pixel binning to create bigger 2.0µm pixels, reducing noise while retaining fine detail. Together with the f/1.88 aperture, this gives you bright and clean images even in low light conditions. Optical image stabilisation (OIS) is another flagship-class feature making its way to the Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G.
It compensates for shaky hands by moving the sensor in the opposite direction of the hand movement, keeping the sensor as steady as possible. This is especially useful in low-light situations where the shutter must stay open for longer, thus prone to shaky hands. Now, your photos come out sharper while videos are much more stable.
Speaking of which, videos look amazing on the 6.67-inch Full HD+ Flow AMOLED display, which has an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate. This not only makes fast-paced games feel responsive, but animations are also buttery smooth even when you’re just flicking through apps.
The Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G also supports Dolby Vision, enabling it to display content in stunning HDR, while its Corning Gorilla Glass 5 cover makes the screen more drop resistant compared to normal glass.
Powering all this is a massive 5,000mAh battery, and you won’t have to worry about it taking a long time to charge as the Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G supports up to 67W turbo charging. With this, you can get a full day’s use with just 15 minutes of charging—enough for 7 hours of social media browsing, 10 hours of video playback or 4 hours of gaming.
Everything mentioned here—along with the powerful and 5G-ready MediaTek Dimensity 1080 processor, built on the 6nm process—is wrapped in a sleek minimalistic design with a flat glass back and a premium feel. As such, the Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G offers everything you could possibly want at this price range, with a world-class camera, a fantastic display, superb battery life and plenty of style all in one device.
Redmi Note 12 Pro & 12S: High Refresh Rate AMOLED display, 108MP camera, and 5,000mAh battery at a bargain price
Next, we come to the Redmi Note 12 Pro, which comes with all of the things that make the Redmi Note 12 Series like a 6.67-inch Full HD+ AMOLED DotDisplay with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and Dolby Vision support. Coupled with Dolby Atmos spatial audio from a pair of stereo speakers and the result is an immersive video-watching experience.
The phone also packs a punch with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G and is cooled using Redmi’s LiquidCool Technology that incorporates a heat pipe and multi-layer graphite sheets to maximise thermal efficiency.
Thanks to the capable processor, you can record videos up to 4K at 30fps with the 108MP primary camera. For photos, the phone can perform a 9-to-1 pixel binning on the 108MP sensor to produce sharper photos during the day and brighter photos during the night. You can also add texture to your photos with one of the seven included classic film presets.
Powering all these features is a large 5,000mAh battery with support for 67W turbo charging that reduces the time you need to wait before using your Redmi Note 12 Pro again. You get all these features bundled into a smartphone that costs RM1,099.
Meanwhile, for those looking for a no-nonsense smartphone on a budget, the Redmi Note 12S offers the essential features to deliver a great smartphone experience. As such you get a high refresh rate, 90Hz 6.43-inch Full HD+ AMOLED DotDisplay, 256GB of storage that’s expandable up to 1TB with a microSD card, a 108MP primary camera, and a 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging for just RM999.
