Sorry to say and use harsh words but it looks as if team Xiaomi was on drugs that too sasta/cheap ones that they launched at this price point.
I remember I had bought Redmi Note 4 in 2017 I guess at around 13k and it was the best phone. Used it until 2021 gave absolutely no issues.
For comparison I have bought a Realme Narzo 30 at 10k during 2021 in BBD with 6GB Ram/G95/48MP Cam/33W Charging however in 2022 the Redmi "Note 12 5G" has basically the same performance processor, benchmarks adds an AMOLED display with 5G and charges 15.5k for it that's a 50% increase (also not to mention this is discounted price) that too for 4GB ram?!! Seriously? 4GB ram at 15.5k discounted price?! 😵
At 21k 12 Pro is giving 50MP Camera
12 Pro Plus costs reaching 27k with Dimensity 1080
They are also launching it with Android 12 when every other device is getting Android 13 and they'll give 2 OS upgrades so technically you get only one OS upgrade.
Not to mention all the prices are after "exclusive launch discounts" 😑
Every other phone in market now (Nothing, Iqoo 9SE, Realme GT Neo, Pixel 6A, others) looks much more VFM or in Dimers language a steal or loot compared to this.
Oh! You also get buggy MIUI that has privacy issues somewhat, Motherboard that may fail anytime and other issues as freebies
I was very excited about this launch and really like the looks of the device however the price is really off - that too by a far margin.
Atleast it's good this much off pricing makes our current devices seem much more value for money.
Even Oppo, Vivo who were mocked by everyone for launching waste phones are launching decent phones at this price range.
Instead of getting a Redmi Note at 30k approx wait for BBD and buy an iPhone by spending a bit more.
Sorry for the long post, I was a fan of Redmi Note series and have owned multiple devices however the pricing of this one is by far the worst. 😕

Xiaomi was known to provide a better experience at lower prices and with the Note 12 series, things have changed drastically.
26K 😳
May God bless you MI........................

is RN12P is upgradable over RN10P ?
Once upon a time, they fought with specs.
Nowadays they are fighting with elevated prices.
And Xiaomi amoled displays look just like LCD. I bought a redmi note 11. Screen looks just like LCD screen. Very average colours and brightness. Saw a galaxy f23 with a swiggy guy, the colours were literally popping out of the screen. Felt bad.
On the other hand the inflated pricing looks fine from an mrp point of view. Retail shops will demand high mrp. Even current note 11 6/128 has mrp of 20k.
But yeah the higher variants make absolutely no sense. Paying 20-30k to get mediocre hardware and then spammed by ads on top of it is crazy . Better off to buy Pixel 6a or nothing phone in that range

Note 12 pro is only worthy at 20k mark max with 8/256 configuration. Anybody paying more than this deserves a nord 3 which will be way better in under 30k segment.
