The Redmi Note 12 Pro and Redmi Note 12 Pro+ models share a nearly identical specs sheet with 6.67-inch OLED displays of FHD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rates. Both phones are equipped with the Dimensity 1080 chipset and up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage which is not expandable. The Pro+ has an advantage in the camera department – it’s the first Redmi phone with a 200MP camera utilizing Samsung's ISCOELL HPX sensor. This is a 1/1.4-inch sensor with 16-to-1 pixel binning and QPD autofocus. You can take 12.5MP resolution photos in the default mode with a 2.24μm pitch, 50MP shots with 1.12μm pixels and even full 200MP images with 0.56μm pixels. The big sensor is also capable of staggered HDR, 14-bit color depth as well as 8K video recording at 30fps and 4K at 120 fps. Sadly, the Dimensity 1080 chipset has capped its performance to 4K video recording only.
