A new version of the Redmi Note 12 was leaked to the network • HWzone

Will this be the mid-range edition that gets a wide international rollout?

The first Redmi Note 12 devices were introduced for the Chinese market back at the end of October 2022, but unlike the previous generations of the successful mid-range series (which recently celebrated the supply of 300 million units since its launch) this time we did not receive an immediate international expansion – but more announcements About variants that were intended for Xiaomi’s country of origin, when no one is really clear when we will be able to enjoy them here in Israel as well.

Now, new details about another Redmi Note 12 model may be the ones that also provide a first glimpse of the version that will become international later – when it is equipped with a fresh Qualcomm intermediate chip that has not even been announced.

The Redmi Note 12 Turbo Edition stands out as one of the most advanced versions in the family, with a 6.67-inch AMOLED screen with a 1080p resolution and a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz, including a built-in biometric scanner underneath, a photo array with a large 50 megapixel main sensor (probably a model Sony’s IMX766, with an optical stabilization array), an 8-megapixel sensor for wide-angle photography and a simple 2-megapixel macro sensor, an impressive 5,500mAh battery with 67W wired charging – and a Snapdragon 7 Gen 2 chip that has not yet become official, but Expected to be quite easily better than the octa-core Dimension 1080 in the Redmi Note 12 Pro and Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus, and certainly better than the Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 inside the standard Redmi Note 12.

A score of 900,000 on the Antutu test means that the Snapdragon 7 Gen 2 will be about a 15 percent improvement in capabilities compared to the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 – but for now these are only initial speculations that should be treated with limited warranty

According to a recent report on the Chinese Weibo network, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 2, which is expected to continue to be based on TSMC’s efficient 4nm manufacturing process like the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 before it (which we only saw in a small number of devices, for some reason), is capable of reaching For a result of over 900,000 points in the latest version of the Antutu test – which undoubtedly indicates its great potential when you look at results around 500,000 points for the Dimensity 1080 or the Snapdragon 778G (which runs one of the special versions of the Redmi Note 12), and results of just under 400,000 points in the same test for the Snapdragon 4 Gen 1.

If this prediction comes true, there is no doubt that the use of the Turbo title will be justified from our point of view.

If past experience can be used as evidence for the future, our chances of seeing the Explorer (or Discovery, depending on who you ask) edition of the Redmi Note 12 with crazy 210W charging make it outside of China are not very high – but we’ll gladly accept the -Redmi Note 12 Turbo with a more powerful chip as a suitable replacement

We don’t know if the Turbo Edition will really be the one to reach the West first, and if it will do so alongside other versions of the Note 12 family or alone – but so far it seems that there are enough improvements and interesting changes in this series to justify this waiting and anticipation. Do you agree with us, or not really? It’s time to share.
