Redmi Note 12, sixth model arriving with new chip | Rumor

Will come on sixth “child” in the Redmi Note 12 family, if Digital Chat Station’s leak turns out to be correct. A tangible example, yet another, of the strategy that the Xiaomi group, of which Redmi is part, has been adopting for years and which reaches its maximum expression in China: many products all very similareach with some slight variations on the theme with respect to the other so as not to leave even the smallest of niches uncovered.

Redmi Notes 12 Turbo, the sixth product of the series that is being worked on, however, would bring with it an interesting card. It stands under the heading chip, which according to information gathered by Digital Chat Station would be Qualcomm’s brand new Snapdragon 7 Gen 2. A decidedly surprise move, since the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 has not yet experienced its “golden age” despite being on the market for 8 months, having been presented last May, together with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.

The first generation Snapdragon 7 does not seem to have won over manufacturers. Very few have chosen it, in two as far as we know: Xiaomi, for Civi 2, and Oppo, for the Chinese variant of Reno 8 Pro (of which we have reviewed “our” variant, the European one with MediaTek Dimensity 8100-Max chip). If indeed Xiaomi 13 Lite will be a Civi 2 for Europe as they say then we will have the opportunity to evaluate this Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 that plays hide and seek, otherwise the first contact with the new one Snapdragon 7 Gen series could happen directly with the second generation.

However, it is unlikely that the alleged Redmi Note 12 Turbo will arrive in Europe, more likely to do so, possibly, with a different name. But first there is a “small” step to deal with: the Snapdragon 7 Gen 2 was not presented, Qualcomm needs to move. If the San Diego company’s programs follow those of 2022, the new mid-range chip should arrive in May. Then it will be the turn of Redmi Note 12 Turbo in China, assuming that Digital Chat Station’s prediction on its characteristics is accurate. Below are all the specifications provided by the insider.
