Why does this story matter?
The Redmi 12 series was launched in China in October 2022 and has finally made its way to India. The Note 12 is the most affordable offering of the trio but packs a good punch. The Pro+ justifies its moniker thanks to several top-notch features, including an X-axis vibration motor for gaming and a vapor chamber for efficient heat dissipation.
