The smartphone manufacturer will likely launch at least three phones: the Redmi Note 12, Note 12 Pro, and Note 12 Pro+. The upcoming smartphone lineup from Redmi will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1080 SoC. Let’s have a look at the Redmi Note 12 series specifications, features, launch date, and everything we know so far.

Redmi Note 12 Series Launch Date Confirmed

Xiaomi will introduce the Redmi Note 12 series on Thursday, October 27 at 7 PM Beijing time (11 AM UTC) in China. Apart from announcing the launch date, the company also divulged several Redmi Note 12 Pro series specifications through a number of Weibo posts.

Redmi’s upcoming Note 12 series will be outfitted with the 6nm MediaTek Dimensity 1080 SoC, which peaks at a 2.6Ghz clock rate. The company has also confirmed that the Note 12 “Pro” line-up, which is likely to include two phones, will have a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 sensor on its triple rear camera array. The IMX766 has optical image stabilisation (OIS) and a 1/1.56″ sensor size that permits it to capture a huge amount of light. This sensor is also featured in the Realme 9 Pro+ and the OnePlus Nord 2.

The specifications of the smartphone’s other two sensors are unclear, although they are expected to be an ultra-wide and a macro lens. The rear of the smartphone will be constructed of AG Fluorite, and the lineup will come in at least two colours: blue and pink.

The Redmi Note 12 Pro+, which will be announced on the same day, is confirmed to have the recently released Samsung HPX 200MP sensor with a 1/1.4″ sensor size. The ISOCELL HPX has 8K video recording at 30 frames per second and Tetra 2 Pixel binning technology, which enables 12.5MP and 50MP resolution settings for varied lighting circumstances.
