Xiaomi has finally launched the highly-anticipated Redmi Note 12 Turbo on the mainland.
The new Redmi Note 12 Turbo is the first smartphone to ever use the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 processor, which you can pair with up to a whopping 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 1TB of fast UFS 3.1 storage.
On the front, we have a large 6.67-inch OLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. It even has HDR10+ support and Dolby Vision.

There’s a punch-hole for the 16-megapixel selfie camera, while on the back, you can find the 64-megapixel main shooter, 8-megapixel ultra-wide, and a 2-megapixel macro lens.
As expected, it ships with a 5,000mAh battery but does come with an impressive 67W fast charger. We then have the latest Android 12 OS on the software side with Xiaomi‘s own MIUI 14 interface on top.

Oh, and did we say it comes with a special Harry Potter Edition complete with a special box and accessories? Yep, it does.
The Redmi Note 12 Turbo has a starting price of CNY1,999 (~Php15,800) for the 8GB/256GB variant, CNY2,099 (~Php16,600) for the 12GB/256GB, CNY2,299 (~Php18,100) for the 12GB/512GB, while the top-of-the-line 16GB/1TB model comes in at CNY2,599 (~Php20,500). Availability details in the Philippines are yet to be known.
