Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G

A 120Hz AMOLED panel at this price point is the headline here. The 6.67-inch screen supports Dolby Vision and hits up to 1100 nits peak brightness, so it holds up fine outdoors. Powering it is Qualcomm's Snapdragon 732G, an older but capable mid-range chipset, paired with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, which is plenty of room for apps, photos and games without needing a microSD card, though the slot is there if you want it.

The rear setup leads with a 108MP main sensor with PDAF, backed by an 8MP ultrawide and two 2MP support lenses for macro and depth shots. It won't compete with flagship computational photography, but for daylight shots and social media use it does the job. Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G price in Malaysia starts from RM1099.

Battery life shouldn't be a worry either. The 5000mAh cell pairs with 67W wired charging, so a full charge takes well under an hour. Stereo speakers, a 3.5mm jack, NFC and an IR blaster round out a spec sheet that covers most of the basics without cutting too many corners.
