August is not usually a month of major launches in the smartphone sector, although this time we are waiting for the new models from Google. But because of the holidays and the expenses associated with them, it is usually not the time to look for a new cell phone, unless it is broken on the beach.
However, sometimes offers are so powerful that they make even those who do not need to change their mobile phone hesitate. This is the case of Xiaomi, which has put the Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 at less than half of its original price, and not even in its basic version, but in the one that has 256 GB internal memory
This terminal has an official price of 289.99 dollars. It is true that it has been on sale for some time now and It’s normal to see it discounted, but not as much as the company has put it in its online store. This model, in black, can be purchased for 129.99 dollars, making it one of the cheapest Android phones of a well-known brand that can be purchased in Europe.
This is the model with 4G, not 5Gbut this is perhaps the only drawback that can be made when buying it, and even so, it is not something critical, especially if you are looking for a very economical mobile phone. This is due to the choice of process or, a mid-range Snapdragon 685, a chipset that is not compatible with 5G networks.
But other than that, the rest of the specifications are at the entry-level, or even mid-range in many cases. We are talking about a mobile phone with a 6.7-inch display and 120Hz refresh rate and AMOLED technology, 33W fast charging with 5000mhA battery and nothing less than 256 GB internal storage. This is the cheapest mobile phone with this memory. The RAM is 8 GBmore than correct for the price it has.
In addition, it has a 50MP rear camera accompanied by an 8MP ultra wide angle and a 2MP macro sensor. The front camera is 13 Mpx. Of course, this mobile only records in FHD, not in 4K. As for connectivity, in addition to having what is expected, such as Wifi 5, Bluetooth 5, it has NFC for mobile payments and infrared transmitter with which to control any device.
