We already know that the Redmi Note 12 Turbo is on the way with an expected announcement time of March 28 at 19. We also already know quite a bit about the phone thanks to Weibo leaks and a visit to AnTuTu. A new set of teaser images have now surfaced online along with some additional device specifications.
Apparently, the Redmi Note 12 Turbo’s display will be 12-bit, support HDR10+ and have a 120Hz refresh rate, 1920Hz PWM dimming and SGS Low Blue Light certification. Previous rumors have indicated a screen diagonal of 6.67 inches and an FHD+ resolution. The phone will boast fairly thin bezels measuring just 1.95mm on the top and 1.42mm on the sides of the display, with a 2.22mm notch underneath and a screen-to-body ratio of 93.45%. The entire body of the phone will measure 7.9 mm in thickness and weigh 181 grams.
The Redmi Note 12 Turbo is also rumored to offer a stereo speaker setup with Dolby ATMOS and Hi-Res Audio support along with a 3.5mm audio jack. Also on board is an IR blaster. Confirming earlier rumors, the handset is expected to be among the first, if not the very first, to rock a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 chipset along with up to 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 1TB of UFS3.1 storage. According to the new teaser, the chip will be cooled by a 3725 mm² vapor chamber cooler.

In a rather contradictory report, the new source now claims that the Redmi Note 12 Turbo will have a side-mounted fingerprint reader instead of an in-display one. Also on the list of expected specifications is a large 5,000 mAh battery with 67W charging. The phone is expected to have a 64MP main camera with OIS, 8MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro shooter. It is also said to run Android 13 with MIUI 14 on top.
There’s still no word on pricing and availability. However, it is worth noting that the Redmi Note 12 Turbo is expected to launch under the Poco F5 branding in India on April 5.
