About Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 5G
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 5G presents a sleek slate that measures just under 166 mm tall and 76 mm wide, with a thin profile of 8 mm and a lightweight feel at 188 grams. Its front is dominated by a 6.67‑inch AM‑OLED panel that delivers vivid colours and sharp detail thanks to a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 by 2400 pixels. Running on Google Android 12 with Xiaomi’s custom skin, the device offers a modern software experience right out of the box.
Under the hood, 4 gigabytes of RAM keeps everyday tasks and multitasking running smoothly, while a substantial 5 000 mAh battery aims to provide all‑day endurance. Connectivity is handled through a single SIM slot, supporting the 5G TD‑LTE bands noted in the model’s designation. Together, these elements combine to give the Redmi Note 12 5G a balanced mix of display quality, compact build, and reliable power for daily use.
Compared to the base Redmi Note 12 5G, this Explorer Edition steps up to 8 GB of RAM while trimming the battery to 4 600 mAh. The chassis is a touch shorter at 162.9 mm tall and a bit thicker at 8.98 mm, bringing the weight up to 207 grams, though the width remains 76 mm and the 6.67‑inch AM‑OLED Full HD+ screen stays unchanged.
It ships with Android 12 under Xiaomi’s skin and retains the single‑slot SIM configuration, but the storage is doubled to 256 GB, a step up from the base model’s unspecified configuration.
Relative to the other listed variants, this is the only Explorer Edition model; the Racing, Standard, Premium and Base editions all carry different branding and, where specified, vary in RAM (4 GB, 6 GB or 8 GB) and storage (128 GB or 256 GB) while keeping the dual‑SIM setup in most cases.
Unlike the dual‑SIM Racing Edition and the various Standard/Premium/Base editions that target either Chinese or Indian markets with dual SIM slots, this unit is marketed for China with a single SIM tray.
The combination of 8 GB RAM, 256 GB storage, a 4 600 mAh cell and the revised dimensions makes it distinct from every other Redmi Note 12 5G variant listed.
