Xiaomi 's Redmi Note series has always been well-known by mobile phone users for its high "cost-performance ratio". However, since the price of the Note series usually does not exceed 2,000 yuan, and the main model is at the price of 1,500 yuan, the hardware configuration of the Note series has often focused more on the "SoC" part in the past, and the processor performance and system fluency are more important. As for the screen and photography, it is often enough.
However, as users' demand increases, the thousand-yuan machine has become more and more rolled in the past two years. Under the spur of Lu Weibing , the previous generation Redmi Note 11 Pro series evolved from LCD to OLED flexible straight screen, and even used 120W second charging that only flagship phones had in the past, which also made the experience of a thousand-yuan phone begin to be aligned with high-end models. And this time in the Redmi Note 12 series, Lu Weibing put forward higher requirements.
Netizens who have seen the official renderings of the Redmi Note 12 series may find that the camera module of this phone is very prominent, and the design style is also very similar to the "friendly business" Xiaomi 12. Although many netizens think that the bulge of the camera is not a good design, it cannot be denied that if you want to take photos well, the size of the camera must be larger, and if it is larger, it will definitely be convex. So this rendering of Redmi Note 12 also means that it has excellent photography capabilities.
Sure enough, Lu Weibing later revealed that the main camera of the Redmi Note 12 series will use an IMX766 sensor. When it comes to IMX766, I believe many netizens are familiar with it. This year, almost all domestic manufacturers have used this camera, including flagship models sold for more than 5,000 yuan, including Xiaomi's own digital flagship Xiaomi 12. This also shows that manufacturers and users are very acknowledging this sensor. In addition to having 50 million pixels,
IMX766 is also equipped with a 1/1.56-inch large sole, which has good imaging capabilities during the day and at night. This time, Redmi Note 12 Pro also added OIS optical anti-shake to the main camera, further improving the performance of dark night scenes and sports shooting.
More importantly, Xiaomi image brain algorithm will also be delegated to the Redmi Note 12 series, and supports four major functions: acceleration engine, computing unit, ecological engine, and intention recognition. This means it is in line with high-end flagship models in both photo hardware and software. The statement that "the camera of a thousand-yuan phone can only be used to scan the code" will completely become a thing of the past.
If you want to take good photos, in addition to the powerful camera, you also need an excellent image engine. This time, the Redmi Note 12 series will also be equipped with the Dimensity 1080 processor in the world. It adopts the classic core architecture of A78+A55. While ensuring sufficient performance, power consumption and heating are also said to be well controlled. In addition, the photography and video functions of Dimensity 1080 have also been greatly improved, and can take photos of up to 200 million pixels and record 4K HDR videos.
In general, Xiaomi's Redmi Note series once again challenged the flagship-level photography experience after popularizing linear motors, three-dimensional dual-rotations, full-function NFC, 100-watt fast charging, and OLED flexible straight screen. Today's thousand-yuan smartphones not only need a high-performance processor to meet users' needs, but their functions will be aligned with high-end models, ultimately allowing users to spend less money and gain more experience.
