Xiaomi’s Redmi 12C is an affordable smartphone that may be bought for nicely underneath 200 Euros (~$200), relying on the storage configuration.
Xiaomi presents 4 colour choices: darkish grey, purple, mint inexperienced, and blue. The again is product of plastic and has a palpable stripe sample, just like the predecessor Redmi 10C. The digicam module continues to be very cumbersome, but it has now been partially tailored to the again in phrases of colour to look extra discreet.
The casing’s stability is okay, but quiet creaking noises will be heard when twisting. The display’s edges are additionally a bit sharp.
Three completely different storage configurations will be discovered on Xiaomi’s web site:
- 3 GB RAM / 32 GB mass storage: 150 Euro
- 3 GB RAM / 64 GB mass storage: 170 Euro (~$570)
- 4 GB RAM / 128 GB mass storage: 200 Euro
Thanks to promotional coupons, nonetheless, you may get the smartphone cheaper, and the Redmi 12C can be bought with a major low cost on the remainder of the Internet.
We don’t perceive how Xiaomi can set up a microUSB port in the Redmi 12C in 2023. We thought that the time of the complicated number of ports would lastly be over, particularly since even the Redmi 10C already had a USB-C port.
The microSD card reader can be utilized in addition to 2 nano-SIMs, although it isn’t the quickest in the checks with our reference card Angelbird V60.

The WiFi 5 module in the Redmi 12C does a barely higher job than in the predecessor, but it can’t fairly sustain with different gadgets in the worth vary in phrases of receiving pace. This is principally as a consequence of a brief drop in the switch charge, which we will observe many times at completely different factors even when repeating the take a look at.
The Xiaomi Phone can use 4G because the quickest cell community and comes with the mandatory frequencies for Central Europe. For additional journeys, it is best to examine in advance which LTE bands you want in the host nation and whether or not the Redmi 12C helps them. The reception high quality in the cell community is first rate but can’t sustain with excessive-finish telephones.
The software program is named MiUI 13, but it’s nonetheless based mostly on Android 12. The good replace promise of two Android variations that Xiaomi makes for this telephone subsequently solely extends to Android 14. At least the safety patches are renewed fairly often: each 3 months; they have been from March 2023 on our gadget, which is pretty up-to-date on the time of testing.
The fingerprint sensor is built-in into the digicam module on the again. It unlocks the smartphone fairly reliably after a brief wait. Face recognition can be potential, but it’s software program-based mostly and thus not as safe.
Like quite a few different cheap telephones, the Redmi 12C makes use of Samsung’s Isocell JN1 as the principle digicam’s picture sensor. The further digicam now solely has a 0.1-megapixel lens, but it can’t be used to create images anyway and solely offers further information for portrait mode.
Main digicam takes partly blurry footage, and the brightness additionally leaves rather a lot to be desired. This will not be solely observed in daylight but additionally darkish lighting circumstances and powerful contrasts. Bright areas are over-brightened, whereas darkish ones hardly present any sample in the photograph. The digicam can be a bit blurry in full studio lighting in the lab, but the contrasts are acceptable right here.
The selfie digicam is situated in a waterdrop notch on the high of the display. It has a decision of 5 megapixels. The ensuing images look fairly brilliant at first look, but they don’t present any drawing, particularly in darkish areas, and the small print are fairly poor when enlarged.
Overall, the cameras of the Redmi 12C are on par with the competitors.

Xiaomi would have had an opportunity to face out with the display: Full HD screens are positively potential in this worth vary, just like the Galaxy A13 4G or the Poco M5, or very brilliant screens like in the Moto G13.
However, the producer does with out that and installs a 720p display with a brightness that’s even under 400 cd/m² on common in our checks. Thus it’s typically troublesome to see something on the display open air or in brilliant rooms.
We didn’t discover PWM, but a visual colour solid into purple in the grayscale. Overall, the display’s colour accuracy is okay.

Display Response Times
ℹ
Display response occasions present how briskly the display is ready to change from one colour to the following. Slow response occasions can result in afterimages and might trigger transferring objects to seem blurry (ghosting). Gamers of quick-paced 3D titles ought to pay particular consideration to quick response occasions.
Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
ℹ
To dim the display, some notebooks will merely cycle the backlight on and off in speedy succession – a technique known as Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This biking frequency ought to ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If stated frequency is just too low, customers with delicate eyes might expertise pressure or complications and even discover the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected | |||
In comparability: 53 % of all examined gadgets don’t use PWM to dim the show. If PWM was detected, a mean of 19111 (minimal: 2.4 – most: 3846000) Hz was measured. |
With the Helio G85 from MediaTek, a former mid-vary SoC now additionally arrives in telephones of the cheaper price areas. Thus, the Redmi 12C really proves to be a lot stronger than the Redmi 10C. The Xiaomi telephone additionally presents numerous energy in direct comparability with different cheap telephones.
It runs fairly easily in most apps in on a regular basis use. You solely expertise efficiency issues whenever you wish to run a number of applications concurrently or set up very advanced apps. However, you need to make do with the sluggish eMMC flash, which makes loading occasions and information transfers a bit longer.
The telephone heats as much as 44.7 °C at room temperature with the heavy load. This means temperature may improve much more on scorching days and develop into disagreeable. However, sturdy warmth growth doesn’t have an effect on the efficiency: the telephone hardly reveals any losses in the 3DMark stress take a look at.
Small speaker on the decrease edge does a reasonably good job: it doesn’t distort even at most quantity, reproduces voices nicely, and solely sounds barely muffled. Of course, you shouldn’t count on a hello-fi sound. External audio system or headphones, which will be related by way of a 3.5 mm jack or Bluetooth, are wanted for higher high quality. The telephone helps many Bluetooth codecs, together with up-to-date ones like aptX TWS+ or LHDC v3/v4.
The 5,000 mAh battery has remained, but Xiaomi has shortened the charging energy to 10 watts, whereas on the Redmi 10C, 18 watts have been nonetheless potential. The runtimes have improved barely and at the moment are 15:33 hours in our Wi-Fi take a look at. The smartphone can’t sustain with the Moto G13, but it nonetheless delivers excellent runtimes for its worth vary.
