It comes with a large 5000mAh battery and supports 67W flagship-level fast charging technology, which means that power can be restored quickly even when the battery is low. At the same time, despite the large battery capacity, the body of the Redmi Note 12 Turbo is still thin and light, weighing only 181g and only 79mm, which is very rare for a phone with a large battery.

The Redmi Note 12 Turbo also boasts a number of flagship-level practical features, such as stereo dual speakers for an immersive sound experience, an X-axis linear motor for precise haptic feedback, plus 3Features such as a 5mm headphone jack, WiFi 6 Plus, and IR remote control make this phone stand out in its price range.
With the adjustment of the market, the ** of the Redmi Note 12 Turbo is gradually declining. For example, the 12GB+256GB version has been reduced to 1472 yuan, which is extremely cost-effective. For those consumers looking for high performance, comprehensive configuration, and a great user experience, the Redmi Note 12 Turbo is undoubtedly a rare choice.
In summary, the success of the Redmi Note 12 Turbo and Realme GT Neo5 SE is largely due to the second-generation Snapdragon 7+ chips on board.
