Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ with a 200MP camera in 2022, becoming the first mid-range phone with this feature in the market. The device's release generated a lot of hype, but after months of waiting, it finally made its way to Europe, where DXOMark experts put the camera to the test.
The DXOMark Test Results:
The Redmi Note 12 Pro+ is a decent phone, with a powerful chipset, AMOLED screen, 120W charging, and a 200MP camera. However, despite the hype around the camera, it failed to impress on the DXOMark review, with an overall rating of 113 points, putting it in the 74th position on the leaderboard. The phone fell short of the iPhone 11 and Pixel 6, and even the Nothing Phone (1) and Xiaomi 12T outperformed it, despite having inferior cameras in terms of megapixel count.

According to the DXOMark test, the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ does a decent job in daylight conditions, delivering a good dynamic range and white balance even in low light. However, there are ghosting, color, and artifact issues, and the autofocus is slow. The 4K video recording is not up to par, with a loss of details and oversharpened images.
Redmi Note 12 Pro+ Specifications:
Besides the camera performance, the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ is a good all-rounder, with a 6.67-inch AMOLED screen with FHD+ resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate, and Dolby Vision support. Under the hood, it has the MediaTek Dimensity 1080 CPU with up to 12GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage. The phone has an 8MP ultrawide camera, a third 2MP sensor for macro shooting, and a 16MP selfie shooter. The device also has stereo speakers, a 3.5mm audio jack, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, IR Blaster, and a USB Type-C port. It runs Android 13 with MIUI 14 atop and has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. The phone sells for €499,00 in Europe.
Conclusion:
The Redmi Note 12 Pro+ is a mid-range phone with an impressive 200MP camera, but it fails to deliver in terms of performance, according to the DXOMark review. Although it does a decent job in daylight, the camera has issues with ghosting, color, and artifacts, and the autofocus is slow. The 4K video recording is not up to par, and the other sensors are mediocre, leading to an average user experience. Despite its other impressive specifications, the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ falls short of its camera hype, and Xiaomi may need to sort out some of these issues with future updates.
