“I have a Redmi Note 12” today is almost as inexplicable as saying your mobile is a Samsung, because in recent months Xiaomi keeps releasing Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 models on the airwaves. Have you been lost on who is who? We help you tell them apart.
Mother there is only one but Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 there are twelve, at least all over the world. Fortunately, in Europe “only” six of them have gone on sale so far, which is not really little.
A dozen Redmi Note 12
Xiaomi has launched, for now, a dozen Xiaomi Redmi Note 12, which is not bad considering that we do not even count the Redmi 12, without note. Xiaomi is used to flooding the market with models, but the truth is that they may have gotten a bit out of control with the Xiaomi Redmi Note 12.
It’s easy to get lost with the Xiaomi Redmi Note 12, since since we encountered the first of them in October last year, there were additional models in December, March, May and the last of June . Eight months of releases They adapt to many models.
And the problem is that a lot of them They come twice, having a 4G and 5G version. Thus, the “standard” series consists of five models: Note 12, Note 12 4G, Note 12 Pro 4G and Note 12 Pro 5G, Note 12 Pro+.
And so the letters have arrived, bringing out of nowhere the Xiaomi Redmi Note 12R, Xiaomi Redmi Note 12S and Xiaomi Redmi Note 12T Pro, do they still seem few? Well wait, the ones with family names are missing, like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro Speed, Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Turbo, and Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Discovery Edition.
The icing on the cake is that the Redmi Note 12 itself has different versions in some countries, as in China. If you’re as confused as we are, here’s a summary table:

In Europe we have six (so far)
The good news is that in Europe we have half: half a dozen Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 you have to choose, and you may find it difficult to tell them apart because they are called almost the same.
Six Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 have arrived in Europe at the moment: three are 4G and three are 5G.
Of the six Redmi Note 12s for sale in Europe, three are 4G and three are 5G, which can be a good way to tell them apart. Sounds easy, but it’s not that easy, because Xiaomi only includes connectivity on behalf of those who are 5G. That is, if he puts nothing, they are 4G. Here are the 4G models:
And, on the other hand, we have three other models that are up to date with the 5G connectivity. In this case, it is easy to tell them apart since 5G is included in its name. They are:
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 which are in 4G
The three Redmi Note 12 with 4G They have a Full HD+ AMOLED screen, although in the Note 12S it goes to 90Hz and not 120Hz and we also have differences in the processors: a Snapdragon 732G for the Redmi Note 12 Pro, a Snapdragon 685 for the Note 12 and a Helio G95 for the Note 12S.
About the cameras, those of the Redmi Note 12S and the Redmi Note 12 Pro are almost the same: 108 + 8 + 2 + 2 megapixels, but with one less lens on the 12S. The bet is more modest in megapixels on the Redmi Note 12, with 50 + 8 + 2 MP.
Where it’s clear the Pro model is “more pro” is in the battery. While all three have a 5,000mAh battery, fast charging is 33W on the Redmi Note 12 Redmi Note 12S, but 67W in the Redmi Note 12 Pro.
The Xiaomi Redmi Notes that are 5G
As we said, there are a total of three Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 phones with 5G for sale in Europe, and they are quite similar to each other. On screen the three agree: 6.67-inch AMOLED, Full HD+ and with a refresh rate of 120 Hz.
On the processor side, the Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G and Redmi Note 12 Pro+ opt for the same MediaTek Dimensity 1080, but the Redmi Note 12 5G changes sides with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 4 Gen 1, which is more modest as expected. The battery, despite being 5,000 mAh in any case, supports 67 quick charge in the Redmi Note 12 5G and Note 12 Pro 5G, but go up to 120W in the Redmi Note 12 Pro+
in the cameras, megapixels increase as you go up in version: the Redmi Note 12 5G has a main sensor of 48 MP, they go up slightly to 50 MP on the Redmi Note 12 Pro and quadruple on the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ with its 200 megapixel triple camera.
Still not sure which Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 is which? I don’t blame you. Here you have a table that will help you distinguish them and know which is which and which is best for you.
