Redmi Note 12 series India launch date tipped: 3 models releasing and more details

Redmi Note 12 series launch date in India tipped

In a tweet, Mukul Sharma revealed that the Redmi Note 12 series will launch in India on January 5th. The lineup will include 3 models – the Redmi Note 12, Note 12 Pro, and Note 12 Pro+. All three devices were launched in China in October and it seems Xiaomi will bring them to India without making a lot of changes. Sharma mentions that the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ will come with a 200MP primary camera, much like its Chinese counterpart.

While you can expect three new Redmi Note phones in India in January, Xiaomi has made it clear that they will not be bringing too many Note-series phones this time around. To recall, the Redmi Note 10 and Note 11 series both included at least 6 models. The Redmi Note 11 lineup, for example, currently consists of Note 11, Note 11 Pro, Note 11 Pro+, Note 11T, Note 11 SE, and Note 11S in India.

Xiaomi will announce the Redmi Note 12 series price in India during the launch event on January 5th. That said, we speculate the starting price to be around Rs 13,000, considering their China prices. The company is yet to confirm the India launch date, so we suggest you take the leak with a pinch of salt.
