Xiaomi had not launched any new mobile since last year. It is also true that we are barely two days away from 2023 and this is a “record” shared with other brands. The fact is that We already have here the first mobile of the year from the Redmi range. Here is the Redmi 12C, a new entry-level mobile with some interesting additions.
And it is that, despite having more than one drawback, the truth is that for less than 100 dollars to change it offers us a generous 6.71-inch panel with HD + resolution and with battery for a while with 5000 mAh. Although there is more to say about this new terminal.

Its cheap price also leads to some quits
Let’s start by saying that aesthetically it is a phone that, without boasting about the materials because it is plastic, offers an interesting proposal for striped colors on the back. All this with a camera module located at the top left, in which the fingerprint reader is also located (curious position where they exist).
If we turn around, we find her 6.71 inch LCD screen. For this price you should not expect great proposals in terms of refreshment, which is why it is limited to 60 Hz. What it does not give up is to offer HD+ resolution 1280 x 720.
If we talk about chips, we meet an old acquaintance of Mediatek for the economic range just like the Helio G95. A chip that while it is true that at the time it was aimed at a range closer to the average, today it is relegated to this type of terminal. It is accompanied in the field by a configuration of 4 or 6 GB of RAM which are completed by a 64 or 128 GB of storage.
In the battery we find a great incentive with 5000mAh capacity. Although, yes, it is limited in fast charging to 10W. This is simply because the terminal does not have USB-C, but rather a Micro USB port. Even though we are already in 2023…
Regarding the cameras, we have a target of 5 megapixels for selfies. In the back is where we find something more bet with a 50 megapixel main sensor which is accompanied by another sensor 2 megapixel depth. It is not specified which lenses they are and we have a hunch that they will be of low range since it is a cheap mobile, although the truth is that on paper it is not is also not that it points badly.
As for the operating system, this terminal still has MIUI 13, which is based on Android 12. It’s no surprise to see that MIUI 14, which is based on Android 13, is still in beta. Although it wouldn’t have been unreasonable to see it with Android Go like the Redmi A1 did recently.
Versions and prices of the Xiaomi Redmi 12C
For the moment, the launch of this terminal is limited to China, the country in which it is marketed in four colors: black, blue, green and purple. Failing to know if it will eventually arrive globally, we can get an idea of its price by seeing what it costs in the aforementioned Asian country with these configurations:
- Xiaomi Redmi 12C 4/64 GB: 699 yuan (about 94.80 dollars to change)
- Xiaomi Redmi 12C 4/128 GB: 799 yuan (about 108.36 dollars to change)
- Xiaomi Redmi 12C 6/128 GB: 899 yuan (about 121.92 dollars to change)
