Let’s take a look at the Redmi 12 price, specifications and features leaked ahead of its launch.
Redmi 12 Expected Launch Date
As per the report by Dealabs, the Redmi 12 will launch in Europe on June 2nd. However, the company has not yet shared any official note regarding the launch of the Redmi 12. Meanwhile, the smartphone’s India launch timeline hasn’t been revealed yet.
Redmi 12 European Price Tipped
The upcoming Redmi 12 is said to be an affordable smartphone, and it will most likely be launched in Europe for EUR 199 (around Rs 17,672) for the 4GB+128GB variant, the report said. There is no information about the smartphone’s expected price in India.
Redmi 12: What We Know So Far
The Redmi 12 will be an upcoming budget smartphone launching globally very soon. The phone is tipped to launch with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Xiaomi is said to launch the phone in Europe on June 2. The report claimed that the device will have a launch price of EUR 199 (roughly Rs 17,700). The device will debut in three colours — Blue, Silver and Black.
In terms of hardware, the phone will sport a plastic body and frame. It is said to measure 168.60mm × 76.28mm × 8.17mm and weigh about 199 grams. The Redmi 12 will pack a beefy 5000mAh battery and offer support for 18W fast charging out of the box. There will be a USB Type-C port and a dual-SIM card slot.
On the front, the phone is said to sport a tall 6.79-inch IPS TFT screen with a Full HD+ resolution of 2460×1080 pixels. The screen will offer a pixel density of 396 PPI and have a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3 for additional protection against accidental drops and scratches.
There will be support for up to 90Hz refresh rate. The screen is said to feature Xiaomi’s AdaptiveSync refresh rate tech and support switching between 30, 48, 60 or 90Hz depending on the content displayed on the screen.
Under the hood, there will be a MediaTek Helio G88 SoC. It is said to offer a single 4GB RAM option with 128GB of storage. There will be an option to expand storage up to 1TB via a microSD card slot.
The device is said to feature a triple-camera setup on the back. The Redmi 12 might feature a 50MP primary camera sensor with an f/1.8 aperture. It will also feature an 8MP ultra-wide camera and a 2MP macro sensor.
If the leaked camera specs are true, the Redmi 12 will certainly offer a fairly versatile camera setup for the price. We say so as many smartphones priced under Rs 20,000 in India are ditching the ultra-wide lens in favour of a 2MP depth sensor.
For selfies, the phone will offer an 8MP front camera with an f/2.5 aperture, according to the report.
The phone will feature dual speakers, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a fingerprint scanner and support for AI face recognition. It is said to boot Android 12-based MIUI 13 out of the box, which would be a bummer as Android 13 has been around for a year, while Android 14 has already been announced by Google.
It should be noted that these details are based on a report, and the company is yet to reveal the launch date, price, and other information in the coming days.

Redmi 12 pricing & specs in Europe
According to a leak by the French publication Dealabs, the Redmi 12 will sport a plastic body and frame, measuring approximately 168.60mm × 76.28mm × 8.17mm and weighing around 199 grams. Powering the phone will be a hefty 5000mAh battery with support for 18W fast charging out of the box. It will come equipped with a USB Type-C port and a dual-SIM card slot.

The display boasts a pixel density of 396 PPI and features a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3 for added protection against accidental drops and scratches.
