The Redmi Note 12 series, which was announced in October, includes four smartphones, the Redmi Note 12, the Redmi Note 12 Pro, the Redmi Note 12 Pro+, and the Redmi Note 12 Discovery (aka Explorer).
In an interesting development, Redmi has officially launched a new device to its range today, the Redmi Note 12 Pro Speed Edition, with an amazing price and impressive camera.
Design and Display
Redmi Note 12 Pro Speed Edition has a strong resemblance with the Redmi Note 12 Pro. The company only modified the layout of the camera island and elevated the company’s logo from its previous position below the camera.
In terms of display, the Redmi Note 12 Pro Speed Edition features a 6.67-inch FHD+ 120Hz 10-bit OLED screen and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.
Internals and Software
The Snapdragon 778G chipset powers the Redmi Note 12 Pro Speed Edition, which is coupled with up to 12 GB RAM and up to 256 GB storage. The 6 GB RAM variant only comes in black color.
As far as the software is concerned, it comes with MIUI 13, which sits on top of Android 12.
Cameras
In the camera department, the Speed Edition includes a 108MP Samsung ISOCELL HM2 shooter but no OIS, making video recording shakier. The remaining two cameras are an 8MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro. At the same time, it features a 16MP selfie camera at the front.
Battery and Pricing
Like the Pro version, it is equipped with a 5,000 mAh battery and offers 67W wired charging. The starting price for the Redmi Note 12 Pro Speed Edition is $245, which can go as high as $285, depending on the model.
There is no information on the international release of the Redmi Note 12 Pro Speed Edition, but it will be available in China through Xiaomi’s official website.
