Overview
The Redmi 12 is a budget phone from Xiaomi, with an unverified reference price of about JOD 72 (about $100) — an estimate, not a confirmed market price. Below is its full spec sheet with a plain-language breakdown, pros and cons, and how it compares to its rivals. We have not tested this phone ourselves; everything here is derived from published specifications.
Its main highlights: its large 5,000 mAh battery. Its chipset is basic (25/100) — calls, WhatsApp and light browsing, as a first or backup phone.
Performance-index rank: #236 of 354 Xiaomi phones we list.
Why consider it?
A 6.79-inch 2460x1080 screen that steps up to 90Hz, three rear cameras including a genuine 8MP 120-degree ultra-wide, a 5000mAh battery, and alongside them a headphone jack, FM radio and a card slot that takes a terabyte - all at ≈ 72.
Who it suits
Someone who wants the biggest screen and longest battery this money reaches, and would rather extend storage with a card than pay for a larger variant.
Who should look elsewhere
Anyone who records video, needs 5G, or moves quickly between heavy apps all day.
Performance, camera, display and battery — and the limits of the evidence
The Redmi 12 follows a clear logic: spend the budget on size, battery and the basics, and spend nothing at all on speed. The processor is a 12nm Helio G88 with two Cortex-A75 cores at 2.0GHz and six A55 cores at 1.8GHz behind Mali-G52 graphics, and it is wired to LPDDR4X memory and eMMC 5.1 storage - a combination that shapes how the phone feels more than any other number on the sheet. The display is 6.79 inches at 2460x1080 and 396ppi with a 1500:1 contrast ratio and 70% NTSC coverage, refresh stepping between 36, 48, 60 and 90Hz, and a ceiling of 550 nits in high-brightness mode, which is not comfortable in direct sun. The rear camera is genuinely a trio: a 50MP f/1.8 main, an 8MP 120-degree ultra-wide and a 2MP macro, with an 8MP selfie camera. Video, however, is capped at 1080p30 on both sides. The battery is 5000mAh charged at 18W, and Xiaomi notes the adapter is sold separately in certain regions. The published bands cover 2G, 3G and 4G with no 5G entry, and NFC is documented as varying between markets. In return the phone keeps features that have disappeared from more expensive models: a 3.5mm headphone jack, FM radio, a hybrid slot accepting a 1TB memory card, a side-mounted fingerprint reader, Bluetooth 5.3, an IP53 rating and MIUI 14 on Android 13.
Alternatives worth comparing
- Galaxy M33 5G — The Galaxy M33 5G costs the same ≈ 72 with a 6000mAh battery, 5G, an Exynos 1280 and a 120Hz screen, scoring 40 on our spec index against 25 here - though its display is a smaller 6.6 inches and the design is a year older. (72 JOD · estimate) full comparison ›
- Tecno Spark 20 Pro — The Tecno Spark 20 Pro asks the same ≈ 72 for a 6.78-inch 120Hz screen, a 108MP main camera and a Helio G99, scoring 40 against 25 on our spec index - the trade being that it drops the ultra-wide lens. (72 JOD · estimate) full comparison ›
Strengths and trade-offs in detail ›
Verdict — conditional on your needs and the documented price above
If the brief is a big screen, a battery that lasts the day and an ultra-wide that actually exists at ≈ 72, the Redmi 12 covers it sensibly - so long as you accept LPDDR4X memory with eMMC 5.1 storage, the slower generation of each, and 18W charging that turns a full refill into an evening's work.

What does that mean in plain words?
Chipset: Helio G88 — basic tier (25/100): calls, WhatsApp and light browsing.
Battery: 5,000 mAh — a large capacity by market standards. Capacity is an indicator, not a measurement: real endurance depends on the display, chipset and your usage, and we have not measured it.
Charging: 18W — standard (rated charging power; actual charge time varies with the charger and temperature).
Display: IPS LCD FHD+, 6.79-inch — an LCD panel; lower contrast than OLED, and the norm at this price.
Camera: 50+8+2 MP (3 lenses) plus a 8 MP front camera. Megapixels and lens count describe the setup, not image quality — real results depend on the sensor and processing, which we have not tested.
