The cameras are decent, with a 50 megapixel main cam that takes great photos for the class, and a good dynamic range.

Fast charging is supported at up to 67 watts, which is still very fast.
It's considered way cheaper than the Pro Plus model.

Xiaomi Redmi note 12 Pro

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro is a solid mid-range smartphone that stands out from its counterparts with a more powerful chipset and stereo speakers. It features a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a 1080p resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and Gorilla Glass 5 protection. The device also has a side-mounted fingerprint reader and comes with 128 or 256GB of storage, but lacks expandability. The Redmi Note 12 Pro is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1080 chip, which provides improved CPU and GPU performance compared to last year's model. The device has a 5,000mAh battery that lasts up to 97 hours in our tests, although it only supports 67W charging, which is still relatively fast. The camera setup includes a 50MP main camera, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP macro sensor. While the 50MP camera may seem like a downgrade from last year's model, it produces great results with sufficient detail, low noise, high contrast, and punchy colors.

In conclusion, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro is a well-rounded mid-range smartphone that offers good performance, a great display, and decent camera capabilities.
