Hotspot Engine Plan Redmi released two models in the first half of 2023: the Redmi Note12Turbo and the Redmi Note12TPro. Both of these phones are new members of the Redmi Note series, and they are both positioned as the king of cost performance in the thousand-yuan machine market.
So, what's the difference between them? How well do they perform? What about their user experience? In order to give you a real answer, I used these two mobile phones for 3 days each and conducted a comprehensive comparative test. Let me share my feelings and evaluations with you.
Design
First of all, let's take a look at the exterior design, the exterior design of these two mobile phones is very similar, both use a right-angle bezel design, a single digging *** head, and the body size is also similar, both are 6A 67-inch phone with a large screen.
However, the Note12Turbo is thinner and lighter, weighing only 181G, while the Note12TPro has 200G. There is a noticeable difference in the feel, the Note12Turbo is lighter and more suitable for one-handed operation, while the Note12TPro is slightly heavier and requires both hands to grasp better.
In addition, the body of both phones is made of all-plastic, and there is no metal or glass. This reduces the cost to a certain extent, but also sacrifices some texture and grade.
The Note12Turbo is available in four colourways, Carbon Black, Glacier Blue, Coral Orange, and Pearl White, while the Note12TPro is available in three colourways, Starry Black, Moonlight Silver, and Ocean Green.
On-screen performance
The screen types of the two phones are different, the Note12Turbo uses an OLED screen, while the Note12TPro uses an LCD screen. This makes a big difference in the display effect, and the Note12Turbo is better than the Note12TPro in terms of peak screen brightness and color reproduction, providing a more vivid and detailed picture, and is also more suitable for sunlight**. The Note12TPRO is better than the Note12Turbo in terms of screen refresh rate and touch sampling rate, which can provide a smoother and more sensitive operation experience, and is also more suitable for playing games and watching**.
Therefore, the screen performance of these two mobile phones has its own merits, and there is no absolute superiority or inferiority, only the question of whether it is suitable or not. If you are more concerned about the display effect of the screen, then Note12Turbo will be more suitable for you, and if you are more concerned about the operation experience of the screen, then Note12TPRO will be more suitable for you.
Hardware performance
Both phones are the same in terms of memory and storage, with LPDDR5 running memory and UFS31Flash memory, which is currently the most advanced memory and storage technology, can provide high-speed read, write and running speeds, making the operation of mobile phones more smooth and stable. However, the chip models of the two phones are different, the Note12Turbo is equipped with the Snapdragon 7+ Gen2, while the Note12TPro is equipped with the Dimensity 8200-Ultra.
Statistically, the Note12Turbo has a 50% improvement in CPU performance compared to the Note12TPro, the Note12Turbo is able to open and switch apps faster, run large games more smoothly, multitask more stably, and Redmi is more comfortable tuning the Snapdragon processor.
Camera function
The camera functions of these two phones are basically the same, both have a 16-megapixel camera on the front, a 64-megapixel main camera on the rear, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 2-megapixel macro lens.
Such a configuration can meet the photography needs of most users, whether it is **, landscape, portrait, or macro, it can shoot clear and beautiful**. However, there are some differences in the camera capabilities of the two devices, with the Note12Turbo having optical image stabilization, while the Note12TPro does not.
Endurance
Finally, let's take a look at the battery life. Both phones have excellent battery life, providing a full day of use, or even longer. This is due to their high-capacity batteries and efficient fast charging technology. The battery capacity of Note12Turbo and Note12TPro is 5000mAh and 5080mAh respectively, which are among the large battery phones currently on the market.
Plus, both phones support 67W fast charging, capable of filling the battery to 80% in half an hour, or 100% in 45 minutes. Such a charging speed has already met the charging needs of most people. However, there are also some differences in the fast charging technology of the two phones, the Note12Turbo supports wired fast charging and wireless fast charging, while the Note12TPRO only supports wired fast charging.
Summarize the evaluation
Through the above comparison, we can see that the Note12Turbo is superior to the Note12TPro in terms of screen display, hardware performance, camera function, and charging method, while the Note12TPro is superior to the Note12TPro in terms of screen operation, AI performance, 5G performance, and battery capacity.
Therefore, if you are a user who is looking for extreme performance and graphics, then Note12Turbo will be more suitable for you, and if you are a user who is looking for a balance between performance and networking, then Note12TPRO will be more suitable for you.
Of course, the ** of these two mobile phones is also an important consideration, and the initial price of Note12TPRO is 1299 yuan, which is 300 yuan cheaper than Note12Turbo. This is also a big advantage in the thousand-yuan machine market, which can attract more cost-effective seekers. The initial price of Note12Turbo is 1599 yuan, although it is a little more expensive than Note12TPro, but its performance and functions are also worth this**.
