Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Exactly one year after the launch of Redmi Note 11 Pro+, the new Redmi Note 12 series of phones has officially been introduced to us. This time, the Redmi Note 12 series includes Redmi Note 12 Exploration Edition, Redmi Note 12 Pro+, Redmi Note 12 Pro and Note 12 Standard Edition. Before the product launch, Redmi officials started a frenzied warm-up, including the world's first two "awesome" new technologies, with the official emphasis on "popularizing high-end products and making them more ferocious."

CTOnews.com won the Redmi Note 12 exploratory version of the phone, is the top player in the Redmi Note 12 series, but also carries two high-profile "awesome" technology-the global premiere Samsung 200 megapixel "HPX" flagship backdrop, and the global premiere 210W "Immortal second charge"! Boy, if you don't say the price, just looking at these two "2" will be enough to bluff a lot of friends.

Needless to say, how is the new Redmi Note 12 exploration experience? The following through the evaluation, together to learn more about this product!

The first part: the design still starts from the color matching. Redmi Note 12 Exploration Edition brings "midnight black" color matching, perhaps the simplest color matching is often needed for high-end devices, and Redmi Note 12 Exploration Edition has and only this color option.

As far as the look and feel is concerned, "midnight black" is really dark enough, belonging to the kind of black shiny, black reflective design, more like a black mirror, and can even be used as a mirror. Of course, this design can not avoid being stained with fingerprints, for Virgo, daily frequent wiping is certainly necessary.

In terms of the lens module, the Redmi Note 12 exploratory version continues the family design language of the Xiaomi digital series of mobile phones. The base of the module is frosted, with two cameras slightly raised and emitted vertically, a secondary photo on the right and a long supplementary light below.

In terms of frame design, the Redmi Note 12 exploration version continues the previous generation of product "trend small straight edge", the whole machine looks a bit stronger; although the back shell on both sides of the use of a small arc design, more suitable for the palm of the hand, but the 8.98mm body thickness and 207.5g weight, with the straight edge design, the grip is a little thicker in the hand.

The middle frame of the Redmi Note 12 exploratory version is still made of plastic, but the coating is so delicate that no one knows it is plastic. On the right is the volume key and the power button that takes into account fingerprint identification, but as far as the feel is concerned, the power button is slightly hard and can be pressed with a little effort.

The SIM card slot is located at the bottom and also includes a symmetrical stereo double lift hole and a Type-C socket. At the top of the fuselage is another symmetrical stereo double sounding hole, as well as an infrared hole. The advanced 3.5mm headphone hole also did not fall.

Go back to the front.

This time the Redmi Note 12 exploratory version upgraded the 6.67in flexible OLED straight screen, from Huaxing, Tianma and Vishino, and all adopted diamond-like arrangement, which made it look and feel more delicate.

The parameters include 2400 x 1080 resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, 240Hz touch sampling rate, 500/900nits screen brightness (typical / HBM), 5le 000lance 1 contrast, 1920Hz high frequency PWM dimming, 16000 level dimming, 10bit color depth, etc., as well as support Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+.

It is worth mentioning that this is also the only OLED flexible straight screen in the same file.

Part II: 210W Fast filling Test this time, the Redmi Note 12 exploratory version launched 210W fast charge worldwide. How exaggerated 210W is, let's put it this way! When the author saw the 210W written on the back of the charger and the phone, it was really a shock. I kept thinking about my desktop computer, as if the power supply was 450W, and I thought carefully about the high-power appliances at home, such as a hairdryer. For a moment, I suddenly felt that the 210W was not real.

Another point that the author is even more shocked is that the world's first 210W fast charge is actually a Redmi Note series, so it is not too much to call it a "fairy flash charge".

The Redmi Note 12 Exploration Edition uses a dual GaN charger + 10.5A high gauge wire, in which the charger power density reaches 1.62W / cm ³, the custom C to C quick charge line is upgraded to 844 core wires, and uses 3 100 watt fast charge chips, the total power limit is 300W, and a total of 60 safety protection items. Officials say the 4300mAh battery can be recharged to 17% in 1 minute and 66% in 5 minutes to 100% in 9 minutes.

Of course, the price is the heavier charging head, which weighs 218g, which is about the size of some lightweight charging heads. However, considering the 210W fairy fast charging and the 9-minute charging speed, this is not a problem at all.

CTOnews.com has actually tested the quick charge of the Redmi Note 12 exploratory version.

The initial charge is 1%. Fast charge acceleration is enabled in the setting, and the whole process goes through POWER-Z. The charging power and power are recorded every minute. The specific data are as follows:

1 minute, charge to 16%, peak power reaches 190W, duration is about 20 seconds.

2 minutes, charge to 27% charge 132W or so

3 minutes, charge to 40% 130W or so.

4 minutes, charge to 50% charge 132W or so

5 minutes, charge to 61% charge 133W

6 minutes, charge to 72% charge 112W

7 minutes, charge to 85% pr 115W

8 minutes, charge to 93% 82W

9 minutes, charge to 99% charge 56W

9 minutes 12 seconds, UI charge to 100% charge 45W

10 minutes 37 seconds, completely full, 0.61 W.

CTOnews.com measured with the help of Power-Z, during the charging process, the Redmi Note 12 exploration version initially reached an amazing peak power of close to 190W, lasting about 20 seconds.

In the next 5 minutes, the whole process is basically stable at more than 130W; in the first 7 minutes, the power is kept above 100W; even when charging to more than 90%, the power still reaches as much as 80W.

The UI takes more than 9 minutes to fill, a little more than 10 minutes to fully fill, and a trickle-down time of about 1 minute. It is important to emphasize that the charging time of the Redmi Note 12 exploratory version would have been faster if the phone had not been lit frequently to check the battery level. But even so, the charging speed of the Redmi Note 12 exploratory version is really fast. In the process of recording the charging data, the author really felt what it means to race against time-it takes almost a second to record it, and the moment it is connected to the power supply, before I can turn on the camera to record, the power has already reached 6%. It was almost done in more than a dozen seconds.

Part III: performance experience Redmi Note 12 series debut Tianji 1080 chip, equipped with LPDDR4x + UFS 2.2 storage, heat dissipation using a multi-dimensional three-dimensional heat dissipation system, including 3000mm ²VC soaking plate, graphene phase transformation homogenizing plate and so on.

The Tianji 1080 processor, which was released earlier this month, is an upgraded version of the Tianji 920. Core architecture, the use of TSMC 6nm process, eight-core CPU, including two ARM Cortex-A78 cores, the frequency is as high as 2.6GHz. 6 ARM Cortex-A55 cores with a frequency as high as 2GHz. GPU is still Mali-G68.

Compared with the previous generation of Tianji 920, the structure of Tianji 1080 has not changed, but the main frequency of large core has slightly improved 0.1Ghz, so the score of Tianji 1080 will be slightly higher in theory. Of course, the most obvious upgrade of the Tianji 1080 is to support 200 megapixels, which is also the capital of the flagship "HPX" flagship backdrop camera of the Redmi Note 12 series, which can launch Samsung at 200 megapixels. We'll talk about the images later.

In the test, we turned on the high-performance mode of Redmi Note 12 exploratory version and tested it with Anbunny, Geekbench5 and Androbench:

As shown in the figure above, in the running score of an Rabbit, the exploratory version of Redmi Note 12 reached 507000 +.

In the Androbench test, Redmi Note 12 Discovery Storage has a sequential read speed of 1007+MB/s and a sequential write speed of 943+MB/s, which is basically the level of UFS2.2.

In the Geekbench5 running score, the single core of Redmi Note 12 exploration version reached 758 and the multi-core reached 2285, which was higher than the 650,2075 of Tianji 920.

In the Wild Life Stress Test project in 3DMark, the Redmi Note 12 exploratory version achieved a stability of up to 99.6%. From the test chart, the Redmi Note 12 exploratory version remained stable in 20 rounds of testing, which also means that the performance release is relatively stable. In addition, in the Wild Life test, Redmi Note 12 Exploration received an overall score of 2262, with a frame rate of 13.50.

In terms of games, we chose "Game for Peace" and "Arena of Valor" for measurement.

The first is "Arena of Valor", the Redmi Note 12 Exploration Edition supports the game's 90 frame rate mode. At the highest picture quality, IT House measured an average frame rate of 90.45, a "full frame" performance.

The picture quality of "Arena of Valor" is set as above.

Redmi Note 12 exploratory version of "Arena of Valor" frame rate 89.7fps in "Game for Peace", IT House here choose smooth picture quality + extreme frame rate (60FPS), the measured Redmi Note 12 exploratory version of the average frame rate is 59.7FPS, close to full frame.

The picture quality of "Game for Peace" is set as above.

Redmi Note 12 exploration version of "Game for Peace" frame rate 59.7fps power consumption, Redmi Note 12 exploration version is only 5.44W (dual cells: 2722mW*2), frame energy consumption is 91.2mW, after all, is a mid-range chip, this excellent power performance is also expected.

Redmi Note 12 exploration version of "Game for Peace" power consumption 5.44W finally is the temperature control, in the northern autumn indoor 22 °environment, Redmi Note 12 exploration version in the 20-minute "Game for Peace" game, the highest temperature of 39.2C on the front, 39.7C on the back, the feel is only warm, temperature control performance can be said to be quite good.

Redmi Note 12 exploration version of the front and back fever overall, Redmi Note 12 exploration version of the performance is good enough, daily play "Arena of Valor" such games do not have any pressure, but also temperature control, power consumption advantages. Of course, after all, Tianji 1080 is only a mid-end core, there is still a certain upper limit, which we should be clear about, according to their own needs to choose, suitable for their own is the best.

Part IV: image experience this time, Redmi Note 12 exploration version of the global premiere Samsung "HPX" flagship outsole master, and has a full-link image upgrade, including aperture to f / 1.65, greatly increase the amount of light input; at the same time, upgrade 7p flagship structure, imaging clearer; finally, high-end ALD anti-glare coating, greatly improve picture quality clarity. In addition, the main photo also has optical anti-shaking.

The other two cameras are 8MP ultra-wide angle and 2MP "tactical" macro.

It is also necessary to talk about Samsung "HPX" here. It has 200 megapixels, a sensor size of 1.4in, a pixel area of 0.56 μ m, and supports super QPD autofocus solutions, four-in-one and sixteen-in-one pixels, equivalent 50MP 1.12 μ m and 12.5MP 2.24 μ m.

Therefore, the Redmi Note 12 exploration version of the default 16in1 is 2.24 μ m super large pixel output in 12.5 million mode, you can also choose 50 million, 200 megapixel ultra-clear mode output mode.

At the algorithm level, Note 12 Exploration Edition also introduces "Xiaomi Image brain", which can significantly improve the imaging speed, preview speed and so on.

Finally, the Note 12 Exploration Edition also launched five film cameras, including KC64, VMUE 250, HMI 400, KP160 and FC400, which can restore classic film tone at pixel level. At the same time, a dedicated film frame is designed to force the grid to fill up in a straight line.

For the positioning of Redmi Note, the image specification of Note 12 exploratory version is absolutely over-the-top.

So what is the actual effect of taking pictures? We analyze it through a sample sheet.

Main photo: the default output is to look at the daylight scene first. The style of the Redmi Note 12 straight out photo is slightly colder, with good white balance and exposure.

When the 50 million and 200 megapixel ultra-clear output mode is enabled, the advantage of super resolution is highlighted, as shown in the following figure:

Main photo: 5000 megapixel mode

5000 megapixel mode comparison 12.5 million (default)

200 megapixel mode compared to 12.5 million (default) shooting in 50 million, 200 million high pixel mode, the image color is slightly lighter, but the photos are significantly more "thick". When we enlarge the photo and enter the ultra-clear preview mode, some of the details invisible to the naked eye are restored one by one in the photo, and the resolution is improved immediately.

Let's take a look at the comparison of sample sizes under three different pixel modes:

Default 1250 megapixel output, 5000 megapixel mode, 200 megapixel mode output photo size comparison in the default 1250 megapixel output, the photo resolution is 3060x4080; and in the 5000 megapixel mode, the photo size has reached 6120x8160; and in the 200 megapixel mode, the size has reached an amazing 12240x16320, more than ten times the previous size, very amazing.

In 200 megapixel mode, the volume of a photo is nearly 40MB size compared to 200 megapixel output mode, I prefer 5000 megapixels, compared to the former, 5000 megapixel resolution can also fully meet their needs, at the same time, after magnification, the details still have a good sharpness performance. In addition, high-pixel mode shooting, the author is more recommended to use under the condition of sufficient light, sufficient light intake will ensure more imaging details and tolerance.

It is worth mentioning that no matter which output mode, including 5000 megapixel output, 200 megapixel output, Redmi Note 12 exploration version of the film speed is very fast, basically no shutter delay phenomenon, sure enough, with the "millet image brain", the experience is different.

As for this ultra-wide angle, its performance can only be said to be in order, and it is still good when the light is good, but after all, limited by 8 million analytical power and size, it is somewhat stretched at night and in dim light.

In the ultra-wide-angle sample sheet at night, the first look of the Redmi Note 12 exploration version is very good, and the bright part suppresses the light overflow as much as possible, not the kind of night vision training, but more to ensure the sense of atmosphere at night. When the AI mode is turned on, the brightness and contrast of the picture will be significantly improved when the night scene is recognized.

Main photo: night scene mode is not turned on

Main photo: turn on night scene mode

Main shot: compared with the 200-megapixel camera, what excites me even more is this set of full film filters. The color, grain and dark angle effects brought by the classic film can be perfectly restored in the Redmi Note 12 exploration edition.

No photography, no later Xiaobai, but also can easily take pictures full of film texture.

Hmur400 filter

FC400 filter

KP160 filter

KC64 filter

Vmur250 filter

The Note 50D filter is not only that, the Cmure 12 film camera also specially designed film frames, in photo editing, you can add different styles, styles, but also "full" frames.

This can really be said to be the finishing touch. After adding the film filter and the film frame to the original ordinary photo, there is a sense of blockbuster, and it looks like two words-- advanced.

At the end: a brief summary of the Redmi Note 12 exploratory version of this phone. In terms of hardware and experience, Redmi Note12 Exploration Edition is worthy of the word "exploration". The word "exploration" here not only refers to the initial 200 megapixel, 210W fast charge, but also includes that Redmi unexpectedly handed these two technologies to the launch of the Redmi Note12 series. On the road of "popularization of high-end products", Redmi has more spirit of "exploration" than any other brand.

Back to the product itself, Redmi Note 12 Exploration Edition has Tianji 1080, OLED screen, Shuangyang and X-axis linear motor, fast charging unmatched, 200 megapixel and film filter brings a whole new experience. This is still a full experience of the product, is still unsparing heap materials, is still the same level of products, the most inescapable choice.
