The Chinese tech company recently introduced the 12 series in China, and now it is planning to launch the premium smartphone in India but with a different name. The 12 series includes four flagship phones, Remi Note 12 5G, Note 12 Pro 5G, Note 13 Pro+ 5G, and the Note 12 Explorer Edition. In addition, the brand renamed the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G model the Xiaomi 12i HyperCharge. The HyperCharge series primary focus is to provide a super fast charging experience to its users.
The Redmi Note 12 series Indian variants will differ from the ones launched in the Chinese market. The information about the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G coming to India as the 12i HyperCharge was revealed by Kacper Skrzypek, an MIUI tester who found the device's listing in the MIUI code. However, an official announcement is awaited by Xiaomi about whether the Note 12 Pro 5G will launch as the vanilla Xiaomi 12i HyperCharge in India. However, seeing the 11i series, the lineup will likely include two devices.
The Xiaomi 12i HyperCharge will likely feature the same specs as the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G. It will feature a 6.67-inch Full HD+ OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate support and a peak brightness of 900 nits. The phone will run on 6nm MediaTek Dimensity 1080 SoC. In addition, it may pack a 5000mAh battery with 120W fast charging support. On the back, the phone comes with a triple-camera setup, including the new 200MP Samsung HPX primary camera sensor, an 8MP ultrawide camera, and a 2MP macro camera. The front camera will likely be 16MP.
The device runs on Android 12-based MIUI 13. It will likely launch in India with 8GB/ 12GB RAM options and 256GB of internal storage as standard. The Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G in China costs CNY 2199 (roughly Rs 25,100) for the base model. The 12GB RAM option is available for CNY 2399 (approximately Rs 27,400). In India, the 8GB RAM model could cost under Rs 30,000. Interested buyers can expect the phone to launch by 2023.
