Finally here we are for the Redmi Note 12 family: the international launch is scheduled for March 23rd, after a first dedicated to China even at the end of last October and a second dedicated to India this January (with some slight technical differences in the basic model). The company’s marketing division seems particularly enthusiastic about the products – and the launch event itself, seen to suggest it will have something to do with the space. But who knows, maybe it’s just a little copy to generate hype.
Brace yourself for the #RedmiNote12Series! This launch is going to be so out-of-this-world amazing, you’ll need a space shuttle just to catch up!
Join our live updates on March 23rd at 23:00 (GMT+8) and see what we’re talking about!
To be honest, there’s not much left to find out about the devices: as we said, they’ve already been launched twice. We just need to understand if there will be significant changes for our market and if the prices leaked a few weeks ago will be accurate. However, let’s recap the line-up:
