You may remember getting a brief first look at the mid-range smartphones after news of Xiaomi's new lineup broke recently.

Now, it's been confirmed that the Redmi Note 12, Redmi Note 12 5G, and Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G will officially start selling in Malaysia from 14 April.

The three smartphones are each designed to suit users in different ways, with the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G offering an upgraded 200MP camera with OIS, a first for the mid-range series.

Pre-orders for the Redmi Note 12 series have also opened, and will last from 6 to 13 April.

Typically reserved for flagship smartphones, Xiaomi has reinforced the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G with a 200MP main camera with OIS — a stabilising feature for steadier shots and videos — for the first time in its mid-range series.

Whether enthusiast or professional, those with a penchant for photography can take advantage of its powerful triple camera system that offers clear and crisp photo quality. The Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G also sports an ultra-wide camera and macro camera that take impressive shots even in low-light conditions.

Taking the overall camera usage experience a step further, the model is equipped with AI software algorithms, elevated image processing speeds, and other useful utility features.

Other highlights include:
- Vivid 120Hz Flow AMOLED display
- Smart 120W HyperCharge, 5,000mAh (type) long-lasting battery with Xiaomi Surge P1 chipset
- Powered by high-performance MediaTek Dimensity 1080 processor

Boasting a super-smooth 120Hz AMOLED DotDisplay, every game or video played on the Redmi Note 12 5G model is showcased in stunning picture quality and accurate colours.

Powered by the latest Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 platform, users can also benefit from enhanced power efficiency, while enjoying smooth and seamless phone usage.  

With 33W fast charging and a 5,000mAh (type) long-lasting battery, you can use more apps and take more photos without battery concerns.

Other highlights include:
- 48MP triple camera setup
- 120Hz AMOLED DotDisplay
- Night Mode

This model still packs a punch, in terms of operating efficiency, that comes from its Snapdragon 685 processor. It's worth noting that the Redmi Note 12 also boasts a 120Hz AMOLED DotDisplay, which is a rare find in the mid-range series. This feature is equipped in most of the flagship series only, but for the first time ever, it is finally available for the mid-range category, as Xiaomi is making this feature accessible to everyone.

The Redmi Note 12 also features a 33W fast charging function with a 5,000mAh (type) long-lasting battery, and Xiaomi AI triple camera system, in addition to a useful Night Mode feature. It also has an impressive 50MP triple camera setup.
