Frequently Asked Questions
Description
The Xiaomi Redmi 12 5G is a budget 5G phone that punches above its weight class in several areas. Its 6.79-inch IPS LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate and 396 ppi delivers a crisp, smooth visual experience for everyday use — whether you're streaming videos, browsing the web, or reading. The screen is covered by Corning Gorilla Glass, which adds a layer of real-world durability, and the 85% screen-to-body ratio means most of what you're looking at is actual display. Powering it all is the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 — a modern 4nm chip that brings genuine efficiency improvements over older budget processors, keeping things snappy without draining the battery.
For photography, the 50MP main camera with PDAF handles daylight shots well for the segment, capturing decent detail and reasonable dynamic range. The 8MP selfie camera is basic but functional for everyday use and video calls. The camera isn't going to impress in challenging lighting, but it holds its own for casual shooting. Battery life is one of the phone's strongest suits — the 5000mAh cell routinely delivers a full day of use, sometimes stretching to a day and a half with lighter usage. The 18W charging is modest but acceptable, and the phone supports expandable storage via microSD, which is a genuinely useful addition.
This phone is ideal for first-time smartphone buyers, students on a tight budget, or anyone making their first move into 5G without spending a lot. The combination of a modern chip, clean software with Android 15 support, Hi-Res audio, IR blaster, 3.5mm jack, and IP53 rating makes it an unusually well-rounded budget device. If you don't need fast charging or a great low-light camera, this is a hard deal to beat.
Pros:
- Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 on a 4nm node brings efficient, future-ready performance
- 3.5mm headphone jack with 24-bit/192kHz Hi-Res audio support
- microSD card slot for expandable storage
- IP53 splash resistance is rare at this price point
- Android 15 software support ensures longevity
Cons:
- 18W charging is slow by today's standards — no fast charging is a missed opportunity
- 8MP front camera is underwhelming, especially for selfie-focused users
- Only one storage variant (6GB/128GB) available in Bangladesh limits choice
Verdict: The Redmi 12 5G is one of the most feature-complete budget 5G phones you can buy — IR blaster, headphone jack, Gorilla Glass, IP53, and a competent chip all in one package. The slow charging speed is a genuine trade-off, but for the price, very few phones offer this much variety of features.
Xiaomi Redmi 12 5G মূলত তাদের জন্য যারা কম বাজেটে 5G ফোন চান কিন্তু বেসিক ফিচারে আপোষ করতে রাজি না। ৬.৭৯ ইঞ্চির ৯০Hz স্ক্রিনে Gorilla Glass সুরক্ষা আছে, ফলে স্বাভাবিক ব্যবহারে স্ক্র্যাচ পড়ার ভয় কম। Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 প্রসেসর দিয়ে চালানো এই ফোনটা দৈনন্দিন কাজ, সোশ্যাল মিডিয়া, আর মাঝারি মানের গেম সহজেই সামলাতে পারে।
৫০MP মেইন ক্যামেরা দিনের আলোতে ভালোই ছবি তোলে, PDAF থাকায় ফোকাস দ্রুত হয়। সেলফি ক্যামেরা ৮MP, যেটা ভিডিও কল আর সাধারণ সেলফির জন্য চলনসই। রাতের বেলায় ছবির মান তেমন ভালো না, এটা মাথায় রাখা দরকার। ব্যাটারি ৫০০০mAh হওয়ায় সারাদিন অনায়াসে চলে — হালকা ব্যবহারে দেড় দিনও পাওয়া সম্ভব। তবে চার্জিং মাত্র ১৮W, তাই ফুল চার্জ হতে একটু বেশি সময় লাগে।
এই ফোনে ৩.৫mm হেডফোন জ্যাক আছে, মেমোরি কার্ড স্লট আছে, IR ব্লাস্টার আছে — এমনকি IP53 রেটিংও আছে। এত কিছু একসাথে এই দামে পাওয়া সত্যিই বিরল। যারা প্রথমবার স্মার্টফোন কিনছেন বা বাজেটের মধ্যে 5G দরকার, তাদের জন্য এটা একটা সত্যিকারের ভালো অপশন।
