On March 17, Qualcomm released the second-generation Snapdragon 7 + mobile platform, known as "the strongest 7-series platform in Snapdragon history." At the conference, Qualcomm and Redmi jointly announced that Redmi Note 12 Turbo phones will be launched with this mobile platform chip, and in fact, the second-generation Snapdragon 7 + platform is also jointly defined and calibrated by Qualcomm and Redmi.

On March 28, the Redmi Note 12 Turbo was finally released as scheduled. Redmi Note 12 Turbo can be said to be another masterpiece of "All-round King" under the trend of the war in the domestic mobile phone market gradually burning to the mid-end market.

CTOnews.com also got this ice white Redmi Note 12 Turbo, below, let's take a look at the experience of this phone.

I. Appearance design Redmi had an important keyword when promoting Note 12 Turbo before, that is,"magic," and CTOnews.com got this Note 12 Turbo with the main color of ice feather white, which is also more suitable for the theme of "magic" from the appearance point of view.

Get Redmi Note 12 Turbo, the most attractive, naturally is the design on the back of the phone. The main color of Ice Feather White was naturally white. However, on the white glass back panel, Note 12 Turbo incorporates a unique texture similar to frost condensation, which slowly spreads from the bottom of the fuselage to the vicinity of the camera. It looks like animation or special effects of ice magic skills in the game, which is very cool.

Moreover, under the effect of this frost texture, the back of the Note 12 Turbo will also show a blue-blue luster under different light angles, visually adding a magical feeling.

Without this iconic frost texture, the back of the Note 12 Turbo can be called simple in overall design, it does not have a large abrupt camera module, the three cameras are island-style design, and the mirror ring around the camera is also made white, which can be better integrated with the back.

The words "Redmi 5G" in the lower left corner of the fuselage are arranged vertically, light silver, lightly reflected in the frost texture.

Note 12 Turbo's fuselage back panel is surrounded by micro-curved surfaces, of which the curved surfaces on the left and right sides are larger, which can better take care of the feel. The glass back panel seamlessly joins the middle frame of the phone.

The phone features a strong right-angled midframe design with only slight corner cuts above and below the midframe. The surface of the middle frame is fine sandblasting technology, and the feel is very solid when holding it.

Along the middle frame to the front of the phone, Note 12 Turbo has a 6.67-inch thin frame screen, the screen ratio reaches 93.4%, the four sides are extremely narrow, the chin is only 2.22mm, when the screen is bright, the front looks very visual impact.

Elsewhere, the Note 12 Turbo has a 3.5mm headphone jack, speaker and microphone at the top, and a SIM card slot, microphone, USB Type-C connector and speaker at the bottom.

On the right side of the fuselage are the power button and volume button, and there are no buttons on the left side.

Overall, Redmi Note 12 Turbo is very sincere in the overall appearance design, ice feather white magic effect general body texture looks very sensational, at the same time in terms of workmanship quality is also very solid, I believe its face value will not let you down.

As mentioned at the beginning, Redmi Note 12 Turbo's biggest attraction is its second-generation Snapdragon 7 + mobile platform, and the resulting performance.

The second generation Snapdragon 7 + mobile platform adopts TSMC 4nm process, Kryo CPU, 1+3+4 architecture, including 1 super core with the highest frequency of 2.91GHz, 3 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores. The overall CPU performance is 50% higher than that of the previous generation platform. At the same time, the overall performance of Adreno GPU has been improved by 2 times compared with the previous generation 7-series platform, which is also the largest GPU performance improvement in Snapdragon 7-series products.

This mobile platform fully inherits the flagship features of Snapdragon 8 +, and is of the same origin as Snapdragon 8 +. The flagship specifications should be matched, so how its performance is is very interesting.

CTOnews.com first ran the Redmi Note 12 Turbo for points. An Rabbit ran 960124 points, which was undoubtedly the best in the mid-range mobile phone camp. At the same time, Redmi Note 12 Turbo GeekBenc 5 single-core score of 1215 points, multi-core score of 3886 points, also very good. At the same time, CTOnews.com has 12GB of storage + 256GB of memory, AndroBench's running is divided into sequential read 1974.52MB/s, sequential write 1460.96MB/s, random read 392.41MB/s, random write 463.22MB/s.

In the 3DMark WildLife test, which shows the theoretical performance of GPU, the Note 12 Turbo scored 7366 points, which is also excellent, while in the Wild Life Stress test, the stability of the Note 12 Turbo reached 85.2%, indicating that this phone can maintain stable performance output for a long time even under high load.

Next up is the actual game test, CTOnews.com first testing Note 12 Turbo with Protogenia. During the test, the phone is turned on in performance mode and the game quality is adjusted to full high, as follows:

After that, they would play the game for 30 minutes. The first 10 minutes would be spent wandering around Glass Moon City, and the last 20 minutes would be spent running while killing monsters. The time spent killing monsters was about 2/3.

After the test, the average frame rate of the Note 12 Turbo is 58.7fps. It can be seen from the frame rate curve that it is relatively stable overall. Individual scenes will shake very briefly, which does not affect the experience. CTOnews.com does not feel obvious frame drop during play.

When the game is going on, you can see that the CPU of the second generation Snapdragon 7 + is mainly 3 performance cores in output, while in the case where the picture needs a high load, the super core of up to 2.91GHz will "top in time," and the other four energy efficiency cores will play the role of performance base. Different kernels have a clear division of labor, which shows that Note 12 Turbo has a reasonable scheduling of computing resources for the second generation Snapdragon 7 +.

After the game, Xiaobian measured that the highest temperature of the Note 12 Turbo body was concentrated near the rear camera, which was 41.3 degrees Celsius. When playing, I really felt that the phone was obviously hot, but it was not hot and there was no obvious discomfort.

From the results of running "Original God", Redmi Note 12 Turbo's performance is really good, more importantly, in the heat control can also be noted, it can be seen that the second generation Snapdragon 7 + mobile platform for a mid-range mobile phone, really in all aspects is beyond expectations.

Then CTOnews.com also used "King's Glory" to do the test, the game when the picture quality option is adjusted to the highest, and then a game of about 15 minutes, this process measured Note 12 Turbo running "King's Glory" high quality average frame rate of 119.33fps, the whole process is very smooth, basically no fluctuation. The actual feeling is also the same, can be said to be silky smooth.

At the end of the game, the highest temperature of the fuselage was measured to be 36.7 ° C. When playing, you can feel the slight heat, and the temperature control is still excellent.

Overall, with the support of the second generation Snapdragon 7 + mobile platform, Redmi Note 12 Turbo has comparable performance to flagship phones, and is also excellent in power consumption and heat control, which is rare for a mid-range phone.

In terms of image performance, Redmi Note 12 Turbo has a rear three-camera combination, including a 64 megapixel main camera, support for OIS optical image stabilization, and In-Sensor Zoom optical quality zoom technology. It also has an 8 megapixel ultra-wide angle lens and a 2 megapixel macro camera.

In terms of specific photo quality, we analyze it through actual photo samples. The first is the scene with plenty of light during the day. The Note 12 Turbo's straight photos are bright, clear and colorful, and the sky in the photos is bluer than it actually appears to the naked eye.

In terms of resolution, let's take the following photo as an example. When you enlarge the photo to see the details on the sign in the distance, the big characters can still be seen clearly, and the small characters are pasted into a ball and cannot be recognized. But overall, the resolution of the Note 12 Turbo standard mode straight out photos is still OK.

Redmi Note 12 Turbo also supports 6400 all-pixel photo mode, Xiaobian switched to all-pixel mode in the same scene and took another picture. This time, the big characters on the signboard are clear, the small characters are also vaguely recognizable, and the overall picture quality and details of the signboard after enlargement are also rich. So if you have a problem with the resolution of your photos, you can switch to this mode.

In addition, Redmi Note 12 Turbo also supports In-Sensor Zoom optical quality zoom technology, which allows the camera to switch to 2x zoom, the photos taken are still clear. We know that the Note 12 Turbo does not have a lens with 2x optical zoom, but with the help of this technology, the main camera digital crop to 2x focal length, still able to take photos of comparable optical quality.

For example, the following photo taken using 2x digital zoom mode, when you first see the photo, Xiaobian will feel a little trance, thinking that this is the photo taken in the main camera standard mode, because almost no pixel cut out of the pull, fuzzy feeling.

If you zoom in on the photo, you can see that the details of the cyclist, dog hair, are still very clear. Of course, the stripes on the men's pants still show some pixel jagged, but for 2x digital zoom, it's excellent.

Then there's the contrast scene--the building backlighting. The dynamic range of the Note 12 Turbo is satisfactory, the backlight building brightness is sufficient, and there is no noise, and the sky color behind is also natural.

Next, let's see how the Note 12 Turbo's ultra-wide angle camera takes pictures. First, take a picture in wide-angle standard mode:

Then turn on the super wide angle mode and take another picture of the same scene:

It can be seen that the viewfinder range in ultra-wide angle mode is obviously larger than that in wide-angle mode, and the people beside the tree that were not captured in wide-angle mode are also drawn. In addition, the overall photo perception in ultra-wide angle mode can also be satisfactory, this scene is regarded as a backlit scene, Note 12 Turbo ultra-wide angle photos show a good dynamic range. However, some of the changes in sky color are slightly unnatural.

Then we look at the scene of insufficient light at night. First, we shoot in standard mode at the entrance of the mall. The overall brightness and purity of the picture are good. Look carefully at the complex neon lights at the entrance of the mall. There is almost no highlight overflow. The color is also accurate and there is no offset.

Then use night mode to take another picture. The overall effect is not too obvious compared to the standard mode, but it can be seen that the suppression of highlights is more excellent.

In terms of video gameplay, CTOnews.com thinks it is more practical to use Note 12 Turbo's Vlog video mode. Here, Redmi has prepared a lot of video shooting templates with different themes, such as nostalgia, party, cooking, etc. Each mode comes with corresponding filters, transitions and BGM. You only need to follow the steps to shoot a few videos, and Note 12 Turbo will automatically help you synthesize an interesting short film. For example, Xiao Bian chose the theme of "Journey Dream" to shoot a video, you can feel it.

Finally, let me show you some more photos of Note 12 Turbo:

Charging and battery life Although the Redmi Note 12 Turbo's body thickness is only 7.9mm, but it is actually loaded with a large battery of 5000mAh inside, at the same time, this phone comes standard with a 67W super fast charge, evaluation, IT conducted a charging and battery life test.

The first is charging, Redmi Note 12 Turbo battery from 0% full to 100%, took a total of 46 minutes, of which, the first 20 minutes can be charged to 60%, this speed whether emergency charging or normal charging, are enough.

Then, Xiaobian carried out the endurance test. During the test, the screen brightness and system volume were set to 50%, Bluetooth was turned on, and the phone was in balanced performance mode, and the whole process was carried out in Wi-Fi network environment.

At the beginning of the test, the highest quality mode was used for 30 minutes of Peace Elite. After the test, the remaining battery was 95%, and the power consumption was 5%.

Then, use "Beep Beep" to watch 45 minutes of 1080P high-bit video. After the end, the remaining power is 90%, and the same power consumption is 5%.

Then swipe Weibo for 15 minutes. After the end, the remaining battery is 88%, and the power consumption is 2%.

Then brush CTOnews.com for 10 minutes. After the end, the remaining battery is 87%, and the power consumption is 1%.

Then brush another 20 minutes of "chatter" Short Video, after the end of the remaining battery 84%, power consumption 3%.

In a total of about 120 minutes of testing, Redmi Note 12 Turbo consumes a total of 16% of power, leaving 84% of the remaining battery, which is enough to satisfy people. Combined with the actual use experience during the evaluation period, under the normal slightly higher use intensity, it is completely no problem to persist for one day.

V. Conclusion Generally speaking, after testing Redmi Note 12 Turbo, CTOnews.com can vaguely feel that another mid-market "welded door" product with full capacity in all aspects has come out. This product is not inferior to the current mainstream sub-flagship product in performance. At the same time, the rear main camera flagship phone also has all the characteristics. In addition, there are a series of flagship experiences such as X-axis linear motor and stereo dual speakers. The 5000mAh large battery and 67W fast charge are also full of sincerity.

Such a "mid-range product" with leapfrog nature is believed to push this year's mid-market "roll war" to a climax, and for consumers, it may be a bit redundant to ask "value is not worth it." If you need a phone with good experience in all aspects, but the budget is not enough to buy a flagship, it's hard to find a reason not to consider this Redmi Note 12 Turbo.
