In China, Xiaomi has recently introduced the Redmi Note 12R, equipped with the latest Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chipset. Tipster Kacper Skrzypek suggests that Xiaomi may launch this device under a different name in international markets although Xiaomi has not confirmed any plans for a global release.
Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 12R is expected to be launched globally under the name Redmi 12 5G, according to Kacper Skrzypek. For Indian customers, the device will probably be marketed as the Poco M6 Pro 5G. Poco has not launched the M5 Pro in India, indicating that the brand may skip it altogether and introduce the M6 Pro 5G instead.
Design:
The Redmi Note 12R shares the same design as its siblings. Its camera module is similar to that of the Poco F5, but it may not be as polished. According to the China Telecom listing, the device has a punch-hole cutout on the front and thick bezels. With a side-facing fingerprint scanner, the handset sports a dual-camera setup at the rear.
There are three color options available for the smartphone: Midnight Black, Time Blue, and Sky Fantasy.
