Similarly, the Redmi Note 7 Pro features Sony's flagship IMX586 48MP sensor, which made it one of the best camera-centric smartphones under Rs. 15,000.

Now, with the Redmi Note 12 Pro+, the company is again offering a huge leap in camera features, at least on paper, by offering a massive 200MP camera, which is currently limited to some high-end smartphones like the recently launched Motorola Edge 30 Ultra, which is also India's first 200MP camera smartphone.
