After rumors and leaks, Xiaomi officially confirmed today in China the arrival of the Redmi 12C, an intermediate device that focuses on the low price to please its potential buyers, without giving up delivering hardware that promises to please.
Starting with what we see onboard in terms of hardware, we have that the Redmi 12C combines the MediaTek Helio G85 platform (which is also found on the Redmi 10X), combined with 4 GB or 6 GB of RAM LPDDR4X and internal storage eMMC 5.1 of 64 GB or 128 GB with possibility to expand the available space with a microSD card of up to 512 GB.

In the energy field, the Redmi 12C bets on bringing a battery with a capacity of 5000 mAh with 10W charging through its micro USB port (yes, no USB-C here), which, according to the manufacturer, allows the user to navigate by GPS or play videos for 20 hours, have for 28 hours or up to 34 hours in calls, in addition to a standby of up to 21 days.
And what do we see outside? Well, the Redmi 12C bets on bringing a 6.71-inch HD+ screen with a drop notch to house the 5 MP selfie camera and on the rear, a textured finish (which will possibly give the device a better grip) and a square frame in the upper corner left to house the camera combo that only had the main 50 MP camera revealed, the LED flash and a digital reader, in addition to the brand’s logo.
A detail that stands out in the announcement of the Redmi 12C is that MIUI 13 was confirmed for it in an allegedly optimized and exclusive version, which means that some features seen in a full version are not found on the device.
Another good point for those who prefer wired headphones is the availability of a 3.5 mm plug on the device, in addition to offering FM radio functionality, depending on the headphones connected to the device.
