Redmi Note 12 Turbo Overview:
Design and Display
Moving ahead, the Note 12 Turbo features a boxy shape that is reminiscent of the Note 12 Pro. But, there is a slight difference as well, particularly on the back. Here, there are now separate camera rings that protrude from the back panel instead of a single camera island that houses all the sensors.
The phone comes in three standard colors—Black, Blue, and White with a frosted back—and weighs about 179 grams.
The recognizable Hogwarts logo is imprinted on the back of the “Harry Potter” Edition Note 12 Turbo. You also receive unique extras with this variation, like Marauder’s map instructions, intriguing stickers, a unique case, and a SIM card extractor tool bearing the logo of the 93/4 station.
The phone comes with a 6.67-inch Full HD+ punch-hole AMOLED display on the front that is certified for Dolby Vision and HDR 10+. This 12-bit panel can support a refresh rate of 120 Hz, a touch sampling rate of 240 Hz, and a peak brightness of 1000 nits. For eye safety, there is also 1920Hz High-Frequency PWM Dimming.
Camera
The smartphone has a triple-camera configuration when it comes to optics. The main lens is a 64MP OIS-equipped camera, and it is followed by an 8MP ultrawide lens. Both lenses are mounted in a circular “Turbo Double Ring” configuration. A 2MP macro camera comes in last but not least. A 16MP selfie camera is also included on the front.
Other Features
A 5000mAh Li-Po battery that enables 67W fast charging powers the phone. 5G, WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, GPS, NFC, a USB Type-C port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and an IR blaster are additional connectivity possibilities. Moreover, you receive twin stereo speakers and a fingerprint scanner that is built into the power key.
