Redmi Note 12 4G with Snapdragon 685 launched: Specs & Price

Xiaomi introduced its Redmi Note 12 series to Europe and we’ve already covered the Note 12 Pro+, Note 12 Pro and Note 12 and now, there’s now a Redmi Note 12 4G.

Difference Between The Redmi Note 12 4G and 5G Model

So

what’s different on the 4G version compared to its 5G counterpart? Several things starting with the design.

Redmi Note 12 4G brings a flat back compared to the curved one on its 5G sibling. The 4G model still brings a 6.67-inch AMOLED display up front with FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.

The chipset department is also different here – Note 12 4G is equipped with the new Snapdragon 685 SoC with 4/6/8GB RAM and 64/128 GB storage.

There’s a 50MP main cam on the 4G model too which should produce marginally better shots than the Note 12’s 48MP shooter. The remaining 8MP ultrawide module and a 2MP depth helper are identical.

Redmi Note 12 4G still boots MIUI 14 based on Android 13 and packs the same 5,000 mAh battery with 33W fast charging as its 5G sibling.
