Xiaomi’s next entry-level phone, the Redmi 12C is set to launch soon locally.
The device is equipped with an octa-core MediaTek Helio G85 chipset—that’s almost three years old but is certainly a capable hardware. And configured with up to 6GB RAM and 128GB expandable storage.
While at the back shell, it features a patterned finish with diagonal lines as accent.
It sports a 6.71-inch IPS LCD display, a dual rear camera setup with 50 megapixels main lens, and 5000 mAh of battery that charges at 10 watts.
The charging port is a micro-USB though, and that’s expected of an entry-level device.
