Redmi 12C top specifications
The Redmi 12C comes with a textured back panel with a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor for enhanced security. This placement deviates from the norm, as most smartphones, including Xiaomi's other Redmi Note devices, feature either an under-display sensor or a side-mounted scanner. Additionally, the Redmi 12C is IP52-rated, offering protection against dust and water splashes.
Powered by the Helio G85 SoC and equipped with a 5,000mAh battery, the Redmi 12C has a micro USB port for charging (10W). This contrasts with the current trend towards universal USB-C ports, as seen in Motorola's latest Moto E13, which comes with a Type-C port for charging despite being priced similarly to the Redmi 12C.
Talking about the camera, the back camera system comprises a 50-megapixel primary sensor and an additional sensor. There is a 5-=megapixel front camera for selfies and video calls. Additionally, the 6.7-inch display of the phone features a waterdrop-style notch. The display employs a standard LCD panel and offers HD+ resolution.
