Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 чер 2024
- Today we take a look at the Redmi Note 12 5G to see what this device is capable of and who this device is perfect for.
This device comes equipped with a 50MP main camera, and 8MP Ultra wide camera and even a 2MP macro camera that looks good and should be more than enough for the average person.
You also have a 33W fast charger that charges this device extremely fast for those days that you may need a top up, but don't have a lot of time.
Overall this device is really good especially for the price you pay, this provides the general user with a "Flagship" device, but at a more affordable price.

I got the 8/128 for $100. I bought it for my Mother in-law so she could play simple games but I was suprised how well this phone is. Big AMOLED screen 120Hz. The CPU is decent, the camera looks suprisinly nice. big battery. the box comes with a case and a 33w charger that feels quite heavy. The only major drawback is the loudspeaker quality, volume is quite low and muffled.
Where lmao did u get for so cheap
this is on a huge discount here in the PH as well. got the 8/256 variant for 7.4k php (around 135usd)
@@rolandoinductivo8013what's PH ??
@@rolandoinductivo8013I got the 8/128 version for about 170 dollars in Algeria
Even if I had 1000$ or € or whatever, I would not spend it on a smartphone because one for only 200 can do just enough.
This was a very well-made video dude.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Yeah a lot of entry level devices are getting really good these days.
Exactly, I was once one for spending big but I am now very considerate, say you buy a phone for £120 and keep it for two years when the warranty ends will cost you £5 a month, then a cheap sim only currently got one at 1 penny a month for a few months.
@@cameronleehorace
You are getting decent processor and camera for normal day to day use for a normal user considering the price it has.
There are a lot of things this phone offers which are high end smartphones' features in a budget segment.
Amoled display
120 Hz refesh rate
UFS storage, upto 8 GB ram (Samsung S24 also has 8 gb ram for the base variant)
5000 mah battery
33W fast charging, 0 to 50 in 22 min and 0 to 100 in 70 min
A lot of high end phones these days have smaller battery size than this phone and still they charge at equal rate or a bit slower than this phone.
Headphone jack and SD card slot are the bonus in these days.
I am using this phone for the past 2 months and it almost makes you forget the need of a high end phone in most of the tasks it does.
Planning these year to probably get a new phone, I Know it's been 6 months but for what I have seen so far these year is very promising!
@@dogidogediggidydogedd957 Samsung Galaxy A35 is a good option overall with 4 years of software updates (more than some flagship phones)
It is slightly costly compared to its other rivals from different brands but the much longer software support (4 vs 1 or 2 years of support from other brands) and clean and optimised One UI + water resistant IP 67 rating are the top things you won't find in its rivals.
Rest of its specs are good along with many high end phone features like Amoled, 120 Hz, 5G support, IP 67 rating, fast charging, glass back etc.
Camera has OIS and is good overall, processor and performance is also decent.
Great take on the phone! Good and informative review. Im from Australia and this phone only comes in a global version. So I would have to use the fast charger with an adapter. Will this unable the fast charge? Also what are your thoughts between redmi note 12/oppo a78 4g/motorola g84(price slightly higher) Cheers
It’s a decent device for daily use (considering the price)
And thank you for the useful review!
For the general person and now I am talking about my parents etc this device is really more than enough and comes in at a great price.
Glad you enjoyed the video
@@Jacqie today technologies reached the level, when every 200$ smartphone able to perform main tasks.
I have my old Buddy - iPhone XR, which battery is almost dead )
It’s time to upgrade the device.
But, to give at least 800$ for new iPhone - personally for me not obvious choice
Especially when the market propose more flexible and functional products to half a price )
Watching this with my new redmi note 12. Everything is good it's just the zoom camera is a little bit not impressive but in normal cam and vid it is good and clear. But with the price, it is overall good.
Just bought redmi note 12 4G and I noticed that the eyepiece has a space without protective layer is that how it's designed or there must be a factory default please help
Great video mate!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks mate, a very good and informative review covering all the necessary aspects of a phone with an easy to follow presentation 👍🏻🙏🏻
Glad you liked it and thank you for the feedback.
Hey
Why didn't you mentioned the version with 256 gigabite storage !? 4:50
I just bought one! Tysm, this made me choose it@
Very informative and straight to the point. Could this device be good to use as a second device for casual music listening, UA-cam and whatnot? Looking to use this and use my iPhone as daily driver
It would be a great device to use for those. It really does all the basics really well and it comes in at a great price compared to higher en smartphones
I sub because u are str8 to the point and you are not boring i will purchase this tomorrow' as a backup phone
Thank you so much for the sub. Glad you enjoyed the video
thanks for your informative review
No problem glad you enjoyed it
In my country we have this annoying thing called Loadshedding where we have scheduled blackouts. Having a phone with a long lasting battery is such an advantage here and I'm interested in looking into purchasing this phone when my contract ends. I'm someone who is always watching media or listening to music. This phone sounds like it's the closest to meet my needs. Yay! A headphone jack! How would you say the audio quality is on the speakers? Can it support music with bass ok?
Yes having a good battery with loadshedding is a must. It sucks having to wait for it to end and not being able to charge.
The quality from the speakers are alright and it isn't really amazing for bass, but sounds decent especially for the price of the phone.
You can also look at the Samsung A54. Their A series are really good value for money.
@@ekks South Africa
Hello from Ukraine my friends ))
@@chillwavemusic5024 welcome to the channel
Lol I can relate I live in South Africa
Which one is good vivo y73 or Redmi note 12 4g??😊
Why is there a red dot on the corner of the camera icon? What is its purpose and how come the other redmi note 12 phones dont have this?
I love your thumbnail❤
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Subscribed, got the note 12 yesterday. Everything is awesome except for the cameras but for the price its understandable.
Hey thanks for the sub. Yeah the cameras aren't great, but they are good enough I guess especially for what you are paying for this device.
what's your keyboard?
From India keep growing ❤
Hey! Nice. Thank you, I will
Should i get the redmi note 12 or the samsung a24
All i want from a phone is a very snappy and vivid display with a good battery with fast charging,i want the preformance to be good(not amazing)but not feeling slow when scrolling through social media,and gaming to be decent like ill play codm and idc if it doesn't have like incredible graphics with high fps im supee happy with lower graphics and higher fps please someone help me choose i cant decide(Btw im coming from the Samsung A04s i hate it)
Watching on Redmi Note 12 ❤
Brilliant phone to have as a middle class person
It is a great phone for the price for sure
just got this for $150 very pleased.
That's amazing. Glad you are liking it
Banger video!
Thank you. Much appreciated 🙏
What that mean ?
Can you tell me how rich the speaker sound is when play music?
What about vibration motor is it cheaper or good1 when it comes to type?
The speakers really arent the best but that is to be expected I feel but the feedback when typing felt decent
Im looking to buy this phone and now im really sold and will buy it next month i hope they still have the 256 rom still available
do a video on a24 as it is similarly priced and could be a second option for users
and in sa you get free galaxy buds
I am busy chatting to them and will hopefully be able to get more Samsung reviews out soon.

Need to get them in here for sure
Nice review bro! 👍🏻

Watching this content on my Note 12.. overall Great phone. Downgrade is speaker quality, connectivity idk why. ❤from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Welcome from Bangladesh, hope you enjoyed the video. That sucks hopefully you are still enjoying it
What would you recommend, this Redmi Note 12 or a Samsung Galaxy A24, (they're about the same price today) what about updates and the possibility of this Redmi finding a home in Argentina. Does it come in a Latin version?
My pixel 7 won’t turn on and I need a phone to get me by until my upgrade this year this phone looks fine to me
I have a galaxy s22+ just bought this phone for basic use cant wait till it arrives 🤘
Nice. Hope you enjoy it and hopefully it arrives soon
need the 12 Pro 5G review! also link for the wallpaper, please?
I will try my best to get my hands on one. I will also save wallpaper links in future videos, but this one was standard in the device
Love you bro ❤❤❤

Great review! Where did you download that wallpaper?
Just hold down on the homescreen, change wallpaper and select the vivid colors one. It is part of the phones wallpaper selections
@@Jacqie Thank you
Great Video Premium features at an affordable price?
I like the design and colour of your keyboard. Can you provide the name/link for it?
It is the tiger lite from KBDFans and if you are in South Africa you can buy it from www.ctrlshiftesc.co.za if not any custom keyboard shop in your region would do
@@Jacqie Thanks 🙏
Hey there, what is the name of the app where you mix colors at 5:15? Thanks
Fluid
i just bought a redmi note 12 yesterday 8/256. Everything is pretty good except the camera (switching from a redmi note 10 pro). I wanted to know one thing from people who bought it is that when i ran Pubg, it can run in Smooth Extreme which i thought was pretty good until I played a match and found out that the screen doesn't move smoothly when i try to see left right or up and down. It feels choppy, i applied the same sensitivity as my old redmi device but still the same laggy swipes. Is it the problem of this device as a whole or should i go get it checked at the service centre?
It probably can't handle the graphics
as with all redmi phones issues will resolve by updates
Lack of stereo speakers was also a big downside for me personally. Ive been looking at a lot of Xiaomi's other devices and it seems the more money you pay. The more premium the handsets when it comes to build quality but you start to lose features like MicroSD card slots and stereo speakers.
Im still using a Note 9 Pro/Pro Max and before that I was running a Mate 9 and I still use the mate 9 around the house for music, youtube and messaging people. Even if its older in every way, it still offers such a more smoother experience than my Note 9.... And it has stereo speakers.
I think my next phone will be a Moto G53 or G73 Both of them tick many boxes for me. They might not have the most powerful CPU/GPU for games. but I'm more of a candycrush only sort of guy anyway so raw gaming performance isnt important to me
it's a fucking budget phone, a dead cheap one, and you're demanding for good stero speakers while still having a 120hz amoled display? this is insane value for the price, though there are better alternatives in terms of other aspects, but still, if you want good shit in a phone, feel free to go for the higher-tier. look at what Samsung is able to provide at this price range, absolute e-waste
Stereo speakers? Use headphones. Jesus wept.
@@honguyenkhanhduy My good Asian Sir. I think you have misunderstood my post. For I cannot see where I demanded a cheap phone have a 120hz amoled display. I wouldnt exactly call £200 dead cheap either. If it was going for £50 or less, now that would really be dead cheap. £200 is like a weeks rent.
If you can point either of those things out to me. I will thank you immensely, appreciate you and correct my original post.
I bid you good day.
@@stephengilmour6598 No
How would you compare the camera, things like gaming performance and quickly switching to different tasks to the Samsung S10?
I daily drive this phone, the camera is pretty good with good lighting, however when its darker it's extremley noisy. I can run Minecraft Bedrock edition on it at around 40-60 fps using the default settings. It's not the fastest phone there is but its not terrible (i have the 256/8gb config with 8 virtual ram)
@@POLSKIKAJAK thank you. Do you have any trouble sometimes with the phone or is it fine? Also, what about some general tasks or when you are multitasking. What's your experience then?
@@neca3344 No, i dont run into any problems other than software features but thats just how MIUI is. I mainly use it for youtube shorts, streaming spotify and discord. The expierience for the price is just unbeatable. However when you get your screen broken. Welp you are left with a problem as there are barley any original screens out there wich are priced less than the phone so i suggest you use a case for it and a screen protector. Speaking about multitasking it just will be less snappy if there is a heavy process in the background.
I don't really multitask on it.
@@POLSKIKAJAK honestly that sounds nice. The phone case and screen protector are basis things I use anyways so that's normal for me. Is there a way to change the UI though? Besides that it sounds good, but hopefully I won't need a new phone anytime soon.
@@neca3344 you can use the themes app i use a custom theme its software side so you have to tamper around there
Funny, the add I had on your video was the huawei P60
Hahaha trying to steal from the competition
Nice review I will buy it I love xiaomi smartphones
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video. They make really great devices for the price
nice vidio dude
Glad you liked it
Does the phone have Google, Google play store? Everything else was focused on but the OS.
it does
Best thing about Xiaomi phone is the mid range phones are flagship killer.
These devices have so many flagship features at a fraction of the cost. They really are amazing for what you are paying
@@Jacqie just bought Poco F5
The photos are oversharpened from the samples you provided. Same stuff with my redmi note 10s. It has to do with the chipset mediatek. However i was surprised my old redmi note 10s can do 4k video @30 and this device can only do 1080p
Yeah mobile phones tend to oversharpen and oversaturate images, but these are for sure oversharpened and I am not a massive fan myself, but for the price of this phone for most people that are casual users it should be fine
What launcher did u used?
What do you mean? For what?
Amazing phone
I use it with my Iphone 15 as a second phone
Really great value for money. Happy to hear you enjoyed it
I have this phone for just over a month. Everything works great for the price, but i have to say that the RAM is absolutely horrible. I cannot switch ANY APPS without it relaunching the previous app. Note that i have the 4GB RAM variant, but it feels like 4KB
You should've gone for 6GB, this one doesn't have that problem
@@equilibrium101 same I also got 8gb one. The heating problem is 0 lol. i play fifa and PUBG most of the time continuously for 2-3 hours and there is literally no heating.
why haven't you returned it? it obviously is defective
I think its rule of thumb with Xiaomi devices that you get the version with more ram because MiUi is so full of bloatware. Im running a much older Note 9 Pro/Pro Max with 6GB of ram and use the phone for music, internet and messaging/phonecalls and even with nothing running. RAM usage is sitting between 3.2-3.3GB
4GB is enough for year 2010 bru 😂😂. For 2020-2024 8GB is bare minimum
I got the 8/256 variant 2 weeks ago and although the phone is nice, I just feel some features could have been better. Firstly, I just can't understand why the stereo speaker setup was cut off, also the phone is so narrow (considering the fact that I'm a guy with big hands, it hurts so much😢 😢)
The screen is an immersive one that can get you captivated but the battery may only give you as much as 4 or 5 hrs SOT on heavy use, nothing more.
Finally, the camera could have been better because it struggles so much in a sparsely lit environment.
Recently, I upgraded to HyperOS and I haven't had any issues so far
Why the lies bro 🙄👀🤦♂️🤌🚶♂️🚶♂️🚶♂️ !?
How did u make it have two SIM card slots and a sd card slots whilst others don’t pls reply
I didn't make it do anything. The sim card tray has two sim slots and an SD card slot
@@Jacqie oh ok cuz I’ve seen others review it and they have had 1 sim slot and 1 so card slot and that almost put me off the phone until I saw this vid so thanks😂
@@Loovysai just make sure you buy the correct one then. There could be models that are different
@@Jacqiehahaha
Having the headphone jack on the top of the phone is loke 2011. it should be on the bottom part of the phone. Its annoying when your in a video chat you have to contantly flick the cord around. other than that the phone is just greaat
Redmi note 12 or moto g32?
Best budget phone at the moment I think, using it for games only.
Hey, glad you are enjoying kt
I can hardly wait to get my hands on mine. I'd been thinking about trying one of theirs for some time and took the plunge this week and ordered a green one.
I've used LG phones mostly and I've always liked the headphone jack on top of the phone. So far the worst phone I've aquired is the Samsung A23 5G. I had a Samsung years ago and I liked it more.
Great!does it shot in 4k?
naa
Man!! Your video quality to views ratio is painful
Hopefully you get the push you deserve, keep going!!

Hey man. The channel has been seeing some good growth the last 3 months, but I guess we all have to start somewhere and hope people share the content, and the algorithm as well.
I am glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the kind words.
Yoh!
Which one of this is best? Redmi note 12 , infinix note 30 pro , tecno camon 20 pro ?
I haven't tested those other 2 so I won't be able to say which one is best
What is that at 5:12?
It is an app called fluid
Would u recommend it for gaming
It isn't bad for gaming, but are you casually gaming or do you want to take it seriously?
DLNA?
FM radio?
Thank you 😉
Should I buy Redmi note 12 or Poco F4 for my dad? He mainly watches UA-cam and WhatsApp, no taking pictures and no gaming. Both have amoled screens, so I'm picking one that has longetivity
Redmi note 12 should be enough I'd say, but spec wise Poco f4 is a lot better and more pricey essentially it's the better phone
both phones are not even on the same level category, Redmi note 12 is on the entry side while Poco f4 is a midrange
Depends on your choice if you want a better quality phone then Poco f4, but if you only have a little budget just buy Redmi note 12
Add note: honestly if you don't think about budget at all just get Poco f4, of course the more expensive one is gonna be better
for your dad always the cheaper phone
Which one will you recommend between redmi note 12 and honor x8
This is exactly what I'm thinking. Prob for for Xiomai myself, I understand Honor have gotten worse in their specifications since they were spun off Huwaei
How is the performance on multi tasking??? Mostly social media multi tasking???
get the 8GB variant , mine are 8/128 , i'd say good enough for multitask , dont expect to have good frames with games , camera is normal got mine for $110 only. there's phones around this price with better SoC but only with LCD screens
Is this phone better than the Samsung A14 5G?
I can't unfortunately say because I don't know. I haven't tested the A15. You could potentially look at other reviews of the A15 and see what the pros and cons are and compare it to this one and make your decision based on that
Yes
Its only around $135 here in Malaysia
That sounds like a really good price
For me even u dont like the cameras but i a sure u redmi durability is insane proven and tested i got my redmi note 8 a years ago i can say its very durable than the other brand i dropped my phone everyday😅🤣 maybe in 1day 3 times hahahahaaha but still alive no scratches because i always put casing and tempered glass on it but i ordered redmi note 12 yesterday waiting to arived😊
hahaha glad that they can take a punch and I hope you are enjoying your new device
Note 12 or redmi 13c
So what do think about the xiaomi redmi 12?? Is it a good phone??
It is a good phone for the price for sure. It has a lot of flagship features, but also lacks a few like wireless charging. The phone also doesn't have the best processor but for what you are paying you are getting a really great device
@@Jacqie alright thanks
Wallpaper link plzz
It is one of their generic ones. Will start saving the links in future videos
this or note 11?
This actually but if u have the note11
no need to upgrade
Whatching this on my redmi note 12
Nice. Hope you are enjoying it
i dont think this model has improved since redmi note 10pro.macro camera got worse too.gone backwards.ive bought xiaomi for last 10yrs or more,now im bailing out to go for pixel 6a.
Didn't improve? Form sd 660 to 680 and now 685 there's alot of improvement, and the phone had a nice price
@@UNDERSCOREZERO_0 cameras didn't improve
@@ianpearson8976
Just the cameras or something much more important?
me watching this not knowing its from SA CPT where im from lol
Hahaha hey 👋 that's so cool. Usually get the I am also from SA comments, but never same city
Ordered mine last night on offer for £129 direct from Xiaomi. I dropped my phone into the canal whilst cycling, dropped my bloody myself in once, so glad it was just the phone this time. Feel confident in my purchase after viewing video. Thanks
That's a great deal and hoping that you enjoy the phone and that you keep yourself and it out of the canal
Does it support NFC?
Turns out some Redmi 12 series have NFC and some don't 💔
This doesn't have but the 5g version with Snapdragon 4 gen 1 support NFC
Should i buy this redmi note 12 or not im planning to buy this on New Year
If you need a decent mid tier phone then yes
@@Jacqie They say this phone has alot of bugs software the thing is that the new version of the phone like the miui 14 takes 21GB storage while the others only take 9GB
I have got to say something about this from first hand: namely, I have bought RMN 12 like a month ago since I broke the screen on my 5 year old Mi Max 2 and I couldn't use it anymore. Screen repair is out of the question since the replacement screens aren't around anymore. So I bought the Note 12 with a snapdragon chipset thinking it would be a decent replacement for the Mi Max 2, if not better than at least a similar phone to the Max 2. And of course I was deeply disappointed. Ok, the screen obviously is smaller, but apart from being smaller it also seems to be less responsive with a lot of random inputs. So a five year old phone - huge screen that works flawlessly after 5 years of abuse and a brand new screen that does not work out of the box and by design.
Second: the build quality is simply abysmal on the Note 12, Mi Max 2 is a beast of a phone built out of aluminium and glass and can't be compared to the plasticky Note 12
Third: Battery life. Note 12 - 5000 mah, Mi Max 2: 5300 mah. from the note 12 I'm lucky if i pull out 5 hours of SOT at best and the mi max 2 when it was new could do 10 or 12 hours of SOT (2 or 3 days on a charge). Nowdays its 5 year old battery does 6-7 hours of SOT easily while the new Note 12 does barely 4 or 5 hours.
Fourth: the camera. On the Mi Max 2 - 12 mpx, on a note 12 allegedly 50 mpx plus a bunch of other cameras on the back with no purpose to me. The picture on a 12 mpx sony sensor from mi max 2 looks better to me... but that is only my subjective oppinion.
Fifth: the speed and responsiveness of the phone is much better on the mi max 2 than on the note 12. Lets just say it is not because of the CPU but lets blame it on the bulky software.
I just hope that they will release TWRP for this phone so i can play around with some custom roms. And of course, if they release another phone from the mi max series i'm buying it right away.
Sorry to hear you are dissapointed, but comparing the Mi Max 2 to the Redmi Note 12 isn't a fair comparison in most ways and the comparisons you are making aren't apples to apples and that could be why you are feeling this way.
The Redmi Note 12 is an entry level device and should be treated as such, meaning they will use more plastic compared to metal or glass. The Note 12 in my country costs about 1/4 of the price of a Galaxy S23 for example and for that reason you can't expect the Redmi Note 12 to have amazing build quality even though it wasn't that bad. Guess you were just expecting more.
The Redmi Note 12 has got a 6,67" display which is larger than the Mi Max 2 display that was 6,44", but if it is performing worse you could have a faulty unit or it could be something else as well.
The Redmi Note 12 comes with an AMOLED display with higher resolution and higher refresh rate compared to the Mi Max 2, all features that could be contributing the the shorter SOT, try switching to dark mode and switching from 120Hz to 60Hz if you really want to save battery with SOT. OLED displays drain more battery with brighter displays compared to darker displays.
Secondly camera quality is more than just the megapixel count especially on mobile devices. The 50MP on the Redmi Note 12 is not the same as the 50MP on the Samsung Galaxy S23 even though on paper it might look the same. It is the same reason why almost all smartphone cameras perform differently and that is because of software backing it.
I hope you manage to sort some things out to have a better experience with your device.
@@Jacqie Ok, as for the build quality and price comparison: in 2018 I payed some 150 euros for the mi max 2 witch was 1/6 of a price of a brand new galaxy s9 (galaxy s series 2018 model). And the build quality was comparable. The price difference came from the more advanced hardware of the galaxy S line which is justified. You're right s23 and note 12 can't be compared. So can't Xiaomi phones of 2018 and modern xiaomi phones.
Mi max screen is in fact larger in surface 114.3 cm2 compared to 107.4 cm2 of the Note 12. Larger diagonal does not correspond to a larger screen. Diagonal size is used by phone manufacturers for marketing purposes, when in fact they are selling smaller screens for more money.
So Mi Max series has a wider but shorter screen and Note 12 has longer and narrower screen, in the end Note 12 screen is smaller.
Oled screens should be more power efficient than equivalent lcds.
My point is - nowdays you get much less for your money than you used to in the past. One would expect the technology to go forward in the sense that you get more for your money but instead its getting more expensive and more and more limiting for the user. So my advice for the readers of this post: this is a crappy phone not worth your money, its maybe better to save more and get a better device. Xiaomi has become a big disappointment for me and i believe many of their users.
I'm looking at my mi max 2 and it's not made of glass mate

Hey! did you get it?
I just got the phone. I’m not impressed about the battery but the rest is cool
There are a few ways to increase battery life for example using darm mode, turning the display to 60Hz and a few more, you could potentially try that
@@Jacqie could you list a few more?
@@ojotoluwani9160 turn it down to 60Hz seems to be the best if you want more battery life.
Changing from light to dark mode reduces the phone's power consumption by 42% at 100% screen brightness. When the brightness level is 50%, switching from light mode to dark mode saves 9 % of the battery, and when the brightness level is 30%, the saving is only 3 %
Thanks for the info@@dariuslavickas4844
One of the baddest cameras. I just bought this phone and the camera is so bad.
that phone make your hands look big
Strange, maybe because it is thin
Maybe

It's a headache if you use your phone more than 1 hour a day. Just get a Poco X4 Pro instead.
How long will this display last, it will not burn, within 4-5 years?
It is hard to say, some displays might last longer than others, but if you don't leave a static image for long extended periods of time then it should last you a while
i have this phone , i'll let you know in 4-5 years then 😅
@@LexaSkye thank you for your service hahaha
Pal, i want a phone review, key word PHONE. You only talked about a personal computer specs, those i can read directly from the spec sheet. What about battery life? call quality? signal quality? reception? durability? sound quality? All you talk about is screen, battery, camera and OS. nothing more. you reviewers know nothing about telecomm.
Does it have some form of image stabilization on video? I know OIS is too much to ask for, but EIS?
There is EIS but not for 4k30 or 1080p 60
Still xiaomi phones are full of annoying ads even though you turn them off manually, they come alarmingly !
Cheaper phones usually have this unfortunately, because that is how they make their money.
my note 12 doesn't show ads because I turned them off, look up the menus
@@robertorodriguez2609How did you turn them off and the ads automatily gone?
Sir what about Samsung a12@@Jacqie
@@umairahmed1809 The Galaxy A series devices are also a great choice
A great example of much to do about nothing. It’s just a nice cheap phone. Blah blah blah. And you have to quote Brownlee to make a point which is obvious? Oh well. With the thousands of reviewers on UA-cam it seems like there are a lot of people with nothing to do. 😂
Dislike

Thanks for you input
the screen doesn't impress me at all, i almost prefer my X3 Pro's IPS screen, a big letdown because it was the main reason to buy it. i liked the SD680 in the Redmi 10c and the SD685 works very well.
how can you say "best budget phone" when "budget" phones reach up to $400 and $500?
redmi note 12 coasts only 200 $,
@@user-yi7gm8jg7qI bought mine for only 100$
You can find it for about US$162 where I lived.
@@GTAbestplayer123I ordered a new one yesterday for 160$
400 ad 500 budget you are kidding of course midrange to up from 500 and more are upperclassmen
