Redmi 12 — Disadvantages

Smartphone editorial team · Updated:

Cons

Our editorial view of this model’s strengths and limitations.

Hybrid SIM and microSD slot

The memory card occupies the second SIM position. Using two mobile numbers at once therefore means relying on internal storage alone.

No 4K video recording

Recording is limited to Full HD at 30fps. That leaves less room for cropping during editing and lacks the motion smoothness of standard 60fps footage.

Charging limited to 18W

The 18W limit restricts how quickly the large battery can recharge. Phones with 33W or faster charging are better suited to short top-ups, subject to protocol and temperature.

How do we assess advantages and disadvantages?

Our editorial assessment draws on specifications, manufacturer documentation and available material about the model. It does not imply our own laboratory testing. We distinguish physical RAM from virtual expansion; features and box contents can vary by market. Reference prices are conversions; check the store for the final price of an offer.
