UPDATE
After my redmi9t shut down (deadboot) yesterday, I decided to drain the battery 🔋 by pressing down the power button and using a rubber band to hold it in place. I left it like that for several hours. I could tell the battery was really draining cuz the phone was mildly warm as it would when in use for an extended period.
I woke up at 2:30am, removed the band I used to hold down the power button and tried to power up the device, lo and behold the phone powered up and started running the update.
My redmi9t is now up and running.
Your village people have had mercy

Xiaomi phones hierarchy is confusing I thought the Redmi note 11,11 pro,11 pro + 5g were the flagship devices
Just found out it was the The numbered 11,11T,12
Followed by the Mi series still confused sef can someone explain this to me
Was there anytime in Xiaomi's history that the Redmi Notes were flagships?

That is why when most of you are comparing Xiaomi with iphones and Samsung's you will be comparing Redmi Notes.

The current flagship phone for Xiaomi barring the release of Xiaomi 13 Ultra is the Xiaomi 13 Pro and the compact Xiaomi 13.

I got this yesterday, Redmi Note 12 Pro + 5G, 256GB/12GB Chinese version, and I'm still trying to figure it out. For someone who hasn't used an Android phone since 2020, it feels strange, but let me see if I can enjoy it. If otherwise, I will discard it and face my iPhone in peace.
Why did you get the Chinese Version?

There is no such settings.

Also, I have been watching some videos online as to how to fix it but i noticed the option is not in my "incoming call" settings as shown in the videos i've been watching
Your tempered glass may just be hindering the proximity sensor from working

Guys please I need help. Whenever I make or receive a call with my Redmi Note 9, the screen doesn't go off. It stays on and by that way makes me engage with other functions on the phone with my ear. Please what can I do about it? Does it mean my proximity sensor isn't working or is there a settings I haven't activated yet? Please I need quick response
Do you have a tempered glass on?

Man, note 12 is not cheaper than it's predecessor

Note 11 is even cheaper than that but vendors inflate the price

Example is redmi 10c......con see how they inflate that average phone

I'm faced between choosing the Indian version of the Redmi Note 12 (5g) which sports and hybrid slot and a 4-in-1 SD processor and the Redmi Note 12 (4g) dual sim and dedicated SD card slot with the SD 685. I checked the benchmark score for both processors but I still want to know what we feel.
I believe there is a Global Version for Redmi Note 12 5G. It was released in Europe last week.

So why not go for that?

Kinda underwhelmed with the launch. Was looking forward to the 12 pro 5g which we apparently won't be getting. The pro plus is the only 5g enabled device we'd be getting and I'm not interested in it.
The grey market is there if you really need the Pro version.

First of kudos. The video was insightful.

But hear me out, I do think Smartphone designs have peaked or "plateaued" over the past few years, Take the flaghips for example, OEM have very little to tweak as per innovations, and it's basically the cameras they are on about and maybe slightly faster SOC, each year, as 120Hz LTPO display, Faster Charge, etc have become standard, Iphone had to even introduce the "Dynamic Island" which isn't much of a Deal breaker btw to make things interesting.

My point being, it's the "Mid range" devices that are suffering the most, cuz I don't think OEM can tweak the specs more than they currently are and still keep the "prices" mid range. This is not only particular to Xiaomi, as Samsung Mid range for the past few years now, have been basically similar with little differences, A12,A13, and A14 are basically the same. The Exynos chip on the A14 might be faster than that of the A13, but in real life figures, they might perform about just the same and handle similar task albeit with the A14 costing more.

You might also throw in argument that other regions get better Xiaomi mid range with slightly better specs, but don't forget that those countries aren't the "poverty HQ of the world" with people living under 2$ a day, I am sure if you compare the "Mid Range" prices from other regions they will be well above what the one's released for this region, are selling for, i might be wrong tho.

Speaking as someone who has observed the phone market in Nigeria for the past 3 years, i don't think anyone is buying the Note version series for "wow performances", as for the Pro versions, they can't tweak anymore for it still remain at price point and they can't just discontinue the "Note Pro" line, and that's why the Note 10 pro is probably still in production and available to at least give one a better choice around that price point, I don't see them doing anything dramatically different with that line in the immediate future.

As for the Redmi note 12, it is an "Upgrade" on the Redmi note 11, 6.67 inch screen as compared to the Redmi note 11's 6.4 inch screen, 120Hz refresh rate as compared to the 90Hz refresh rate of the Redmi note 11. MIUI 14 and A13 out of the box, so is guaranteed at least 2 major OS update whilst the Note 11 will come full cycle with it's OS upgrade when it gets A13 and the final kicker is that is at less price currently as opposed to the Redmi Note 11. In a direct comparison with the Samsung's A14, it has an AMOLED screen as compared to A14's PLS, faster charge, 120Hz refresh rate etc, and still costing less.

That's my 2 cent.
Spot on.

Nigeria prices are actually lower compared to Europe but definitely not at the level of India.
