The Redmi Note 12 Pro+ does its best to not compromise on any aspect of a wholesome smartphone experience. It has the right processing capabilities, a super fast charging solution and an opulent display. Now while I appreciate the 200MP sensor’s daylight photography chops, I really think the low-light capabilities can do with a bit of fine-tuning. Putting that slight niggle aside, you will be hard-pressed to find a better daily driver in the mid-range market than the Note 12 Pro+.
Design and display
As a measure of its weight and thickness, the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ is not the slimmest or lightest of phones. The handset does seem a little heavy but the robust build quality offsets any downsides. There are three colour variants available, each with a different finish on the back. I have the Iceberg Blue Note 12 Pro+ that comes with a matte look fused with a skyblue-like shade that does look really cool.
Apart from that, the exterior of the device is nothing out of the ordinary. There’s Gorilla Glass 5 protection on both sides and the camera module juts out slightly from the back. The usual assortment of a 3.5mm headphone jack and IR blaster makes it to the phone’s top. On the bottom, you can find a USB Type-C port and a speaker grille while on the side the power button is integrated with a fingerprint sensor. It’s not a stretch to call the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ an aesthetically pleasing device with design chops to appease a sizeable portion of its target audience.
The display on the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ has also been tuned for a superlative visual experience. The panel is AMOLED and can refresh at 120Hz while having a resolution of FHD+. A punch-hole, of an unobtrusive nature, is present up top and the bezels that surround the panel are incredibly trim. At 900nits, the screen also gets super bright for usage in sunny outdoor conditions.
The rest of the specs are also pretty remarkable such as the ability to display 1.07 billion colours and a contrast ratio of 5,000,000: 1. For OTT services, the panel can display content in HDR10 and Dolby Vision. For general browsing and watching needs, the Note 12 Pro+ is more than respectable whether it is casual gaming or binging YouTube. I also never saw the display stutter even once in apps that supported a higher refresh rate and some of the credit has to go to the SoC running underneath. Overall, I really enjoyed my time with the device and I recommend it as a top choice for content consumption for smartphones under Rs 30,000.
Camera
Okay, let’s now get to the cameras on the Note 12 Pro+, a big talking point for the company when promoting the device. The triple-camera layout consists of a 200MP Samsung ISOCELL HPX sensor supported by an 8MP ultra-wide and 2MP macro shooter. Talking first about daylight shots, I took the Note 12 Pro+ in a variety of lighting conditions and challenging environments. The phone’s image-taking prowess almost always impressed me.
