Redmi brings another appealing contender to the entry-level space with the new Redmi 12C.
Priced under Php9,000, the new Redmi 12C from the Xiaomi sub-brand managed to have a sharp 50-megapixel main camera. Albeit, it’s only joined by a QVGA “auxiliary lens” and a 5-megapixel sensor on the front.
For power, the 12C has a decent MediaTek Helio G85 processor clocked at 2.0GHz, and a GPU that can do up to 1.0GHz. It comes in four RAM and storage configurations: 3GB/32GB, 4GB/64GB, 4GB/128GB, and 6GB/128GB. The storage can go up to 1TB via the microSD card slot.
The device also comes with a large 6.71-inch HD+ display, with a single loudspeaker and a headphone jack.
We also have the fingerprint scanner on the back. Plus, unique design with a textured pattern and attractive color options.
Sadly, it still ships with the last generation’s Android 12-based MIUI 13.
The Redmi 12C has a price of Php5,499 in the Philippines for the 3GB/32GB, Php6,499 for the 4GB/64GB, Php7,499 for the 4GB/128GB, and Php8,499 for the 6GB/128GB. Get them with a free Xiaomi Compact Bluetooth Speaker 2 or Redmi Buds 3 from March 23 to April 2, 2023 at Xiaomi Stores nationwide.
