While Xiaomi has kept official details about the Redmi 12 5G under wraps, a device with the model number 23076RN4BI has recently surfaced on Geekbench, offering a glimpse into some key specifications.

Specs

Let's evaluate the Redmi 12 4G since the 5G version is not expected to differ significantly from its 4G counterpart.

It comes with an 8MP front camera and a 50MP primary camera accompanied by 8MP ultrawide and 2MP macro lenses.

Regarding the 5G variant, the Xiaomi Redmi 12 5G is anticipated to operate on the latest Android 13 OS and might be equipped with the capable Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 SoC, which is a 5G chipset. The configuration is likely to include 2 primary cores running at 2.21 GHz and 6 additional cores at 1.96 GHz.

Furthermore, the device boasts 8GB of RAM, though there might be additional memory options available to cater to various user needs.

Redmi 12 5G vs. Redmi Note 12R

There's a possibility that the Redmi 12 5G could be a variant of the Redmi Note 12R, which shares similarities with the Redmi 12 4G, including the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 SoC, a 5MP front-facing camera, and the absence of an ultrawide camera.
