Pros and Cons

Xiaomi Redmi note 12 Pro

Strengths

The phone's display is a 6.67 inch AMOLED with a 1080p resolution, a 120hz refresh rate, and Gorilla Glass 5 protection. It's pretty much the same display as the Pro Plus but we measure the max brightness as a bit less here it's still great though - 490 nits for the manual slider which can boost to 890 nits in auto mode.
The performance of the phone is satisfying when it comes to both multitasking and gaming, with great thermal management.
The cameras are decent, with a 50 megapixel main cam that takes great photos for the class, and a good dynamic range.
The battery life is quite solid, with an endurance rating of 97 hours in our proprietary tests.
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. The main camera can also record 4K videos at 30fps, which are impressive in terms of detail and color accuracy. 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. While it may not be perfect, it's solid for its price and worth considering for those looking for an affordable option.

vivo X Note

The Vivo X Note is a behemoth of a phone with its 7-inch Quad HD display, making it an excellent option for those seeking a device of this size. The screen is sharp, vibrant, and perfect for gaming, while the dual stereo speakers deliver fantastic sound quality. The camera system is capable, producing great results in good light conditions, but struggles in low-light situations. The addition of features like night mode video is appreciated, although it doesn't quite live up to expectations. The selfie camera takes decent photos, but may be too sharp for some tastes. One of the standout features of the Vivo X Note is its operating system, Ocean OS, which is modern, smooth, and interactive. The UI design is modern and customizable, making it a pleasure to use and explore. A secret feature called "Privacy Mode" allows users to access secure documents and apps without anyone else seeing them. Performance-wise, the phone delivers with all top specs under the hood, making gaming and other demanding tasks feel special on the large display. Battery life is decent, but could be improved, especially considering the power-hungry display. Quick charging and wireless charging options are available to help mitigate this. Design-wise, the Vivo X Note exudes elegance and classiness, with a sleek design that feels great in-hand. The IP68 rating for dust and water resistance adds an extra layer of protection. Unfortunately, the phone's business-oriented software doesn't quite live up to its name, missing out on features like Samsung's S Pen. Overall, the Vivo X Note is a strong contender if you're seeking a large-screen device with excellent display quality, capable camera system, and great software. While it may have some drawbacks, it remains a solid option for those who value these features.
