Redmi Note series has begun to change its flavor in recent years. Only the models in the first half of the year continue the previous cost-effective tradition. The product promotion in the second half of the year focuses more on experience, but is this really the case? The Redmi Note 12 series will be released soon, which will be a product that focuses on experience. Recently, the detailed configuration data of this product has also been exposed to a certain extent. So, what exactly is this phone? Today, Xiao M will talk about his own opinion!
From the promotional picture, it can be seen that the main imaging system of the Redmi Note 12 series is shown. Among them, the Redmi Note 12 Pro will use the main camera of Sony IMX766 OIS, and the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ will use the 200MP Samsung HPX OIS main camera. The sensor specifications of these two phones are very high, and many flagship phones are the same. If we only look at the main camera parameters, the highlights of the Redmi Note 12 series are indeed very good.
However, a good mobile phone image cannot be determined by a sensor, and the processor's algorithm is also very important. As a simple overclocking version of Dimensity 920, MediaTek Dimensity 1080 has very limited computing power, so in terms of computing and photography, the Redmi Note 12 series models will inevitably be inferior to flagship phones.
In addition, everyone knows that the ISP of MediaTek processor is relatively poor. For example, the Redmi K30 Supreme Commemorative Edition equipped with MediaTek Dimensity 1000+. When the sensor is the same as the Redmi K30S Supreme Commemorative Edition , the Redmi K30S Supreme Commemorative Edition uses the Snapdragon 865 processor, which ultimately leads to better imaging results. From the perspective of image alone, MediaTek Dimensity 1080 processor is obviously dragging its feet. Due to improper use of the processor, it is likely that a mobile phone that focuses on taking photos will be unsatisfactory in the end.
In addition to the image, the Redmi Note 12 series will also focus on fast charging. MediaTek Dimensity 1080 only has two A78 cores. Combined with TSMC's 6nm process, due to its limited performance, it is not a high-power chip. In this low power consumption, it is difficult for the Redmi Note 12 series to be able to perceive the user experience whether it uses 67W fast charging, 120W fast charging, or 210W fast charging. After all, the Redmi Note 12 series also has a large battery, and the charging scenario is basically one charge a day. In addition, most users will charge their phones at night and once every night. Few users will care about how long they can fully charge their phones.
The most important thing is that the performance of MediaTek Dimensity 1080 is really poor. Its performance is not as good as Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G. Compared with the Redmi Note 8 Pro three years ago, the performance of the Redmi Note 12 Pro has not been substantially improved. Especially for those who like to play games, the performance of this phone is significantly lagging behind a lot. Of course, someone may be able to compete here. The Redmi Note 12 is not prepared for the game party at all, so it is correct to think about it.
Overall, although the peripheral specifications of the Redmi Note 12 series are very good, it ignores the foundation of the mobile phone: the processor. The performance of MediaTek Dimensity 1080 directly determines the upper limit of this phone, and will inevitably disappoint our high expectations for it.
