Dual 5G SIM support is included, as is an improved camera and battery performance.
200MP Camera Enters Mid-Range Arena
If 2022 was all about 108MP cameras, brands are expected to equip their devices with a 200MP camera at the back this year. According to the company's teasers, the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ is expected to set the market trend. There's a lot to be excited about when it comes to cameras. The primary sensor will also support optical image stabilisation (OIS), which should improve low-light imaging and videography quality. Similarly, the Redmi Note 12 Pro will have a 50MP rear camera with OIS support, which is uncommon in the sub-Rs 20,000 segment.
120W Charging Boost For Redmi Note Series
Xiaomi first introduced 120W charging support on the Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge in 2022, and it is now bringing this technology to its popular Redmi Note lineup. According to reports, the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ will ship with a 5,000mAh battery and a charger that supports 120W fast charging. According to the company, you can go from 0% to 100% in under 20 minutes.
The Redmi Note 12 Pro will also have a 5,000mAh battery, but with support for 67W charging speed, which isn't bad either.
