Display
The Redmi Note 12 5G has a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED screen with Full HD 1080p resolution. The screen shows bright colours, clear pictures from different angles, and good contrast. By default, the screen refreshes at 60Hz, but you can change it to 120Hz for smoother scrolling and better game experience. You have to set this manually, as it does not change by itself. The screen is also bright enough to see clearly outside. With the default setting, colours look strong, and with the ‘standard’ setting, colours look more natural. It does not support HDR videos on streaming apps, but it has Widevine L1, so you can still watch Full HD videos on apps like Netflix and others.

Camera
The Redmi Note 12 5G has three cameras on the back: a main 48MP camera, an 8MP camera for wide photos, and a 2MP camera for close-up shots. The main camera takes okay photos in sunlight, with good colours and some details, but not as sharp as expected for this price. The 8MP wide camera also takes decent photos in sunlight, but the corners of the photo are not very clear. The 2MP close-up camera gives average results. For selfies and video calls, there is a 13MP front camera that shows natural skin colour and clear face details. Both the front and back cameras can take good portrait photos. In short, the phone takes good photos in daylight, but not very good in low light or inside rooms.

Battery

Even if your usage includes gaming, binge-watching Full-HD videos, and taking pictures, it has enough battery at the end of the day. However, if 120 Hz refresh rate and 5G features are used together, the battery is more likely to get drained quickly.
