Xiaomi Redmi 12C

OhoPrice editorial review

Our Take: The Xiaomi Redmi 12C at Rs 26,800 delivers a strong combination of camera quality, processing power, and storage at a competitive price. The Helio G85 is one of the fastest processors available at this price point — its Mali-G52 MC2 GPU handles popular games like PUBG Mobile at medium settings without significant frame drops, and the 12 nm fabrication keeps power consumption reasonable. With 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, the phone offers balanced configuration for daily use. The 50 MP main camera with PDAF captures detailed, accurately coloured photos, and the phase detection autofocus ensures sharp shots even when subjects are moving — a real-world benefit that contrast-detection systems cannot match. The 5 MP selfie camera is basic. The 6.7-inch display at 269 PPI with 500-nit brightness stays readable outdoors, and the 720p resolution is adequate for browsing and video. The 5000 mAh battery provides standard all-day endurance. At 168.8 mm tall and 8.8 mm thick, the phone is a manageable size. This model suits buyers who want a proven processor and a reliable camera from a trusted brand. The Sego Note 70 Limited Edition at Rs 24,149 saves you Rs 2,650 and claims 12 GB of total RAM, though the Redmi 12C's documented Helio G85 significantly outperforms the Sego's unnamed processor in gaming and multitasking benchmarks. The Xiaomi's 50 MP camera with PDAF captures more detailed, more consistently focused photos than the Sego's 13 MP unit. The Redmi 12C's 500-nit brightness also ensures outdoor readability that the Sego's unspecified panel cannot guarantee. The Sego matches the Infinix on 128 GB storage and 5000 mAh battery, and its lower price is attractive. For buyers who want a known processor with documented performance, the Redmi 12C provides certainty; the Sego appeals to those who want to save money and accept unknown specifications.
