Overall:

The Xiaomi Redmi 12C (2024) is a budget-friendly phone with a large display, decent battery life, and a dual-camera system. It runs on the latest Android 13 with MIUI 14 and is powered by the MediaTek Helio G85 processor.

Key improvements over the previous model (Redmi 10C):

• Newer Android 13 and MIUI 14 versions.
• Slightly larger display with 90Hz refresh rate.
• Higher screen brightness (both typical and peak).
• More RAM options (up to 8GB).
• PD fast charging support.

However, it also has some downsides:

• Lower resolution display (720p vs 1080p).
• Slower storage type (eMMC 5.1 vs UFS 2.2).
• Lower pixel count in the selfie camera.
