PUBLISH INFO. Formerly the first price range of the manufacturer Xiaomi, Redmi Note smartphones have established themselves by offering the best of innovation at the most attractive price. From its first smartphone to the latest Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G, Redmi Note has come a long way.
Innovation for everyone. Xiaomi’s slogan sets the tone. Since its inception ten years ago, the goal of the Xiaomi brand has been to design products that meet the main needs and expectations of users, but keep a low selling price so that everyone can enjoy them. With its Redmi Note range, the manufacturer has gone even further by cutting prices. Nine years after the release of the first model, the devices of the Redmi Note range have evolved a lot, but their essence remains unchanged.
The first Redmi smartphones adopt 4.7-inch IPS LCD screens, a standard in 2013 and 2014. But Xiaomi quickly sees bigger for its range and launches in 2014 its first Redmi Note, an imposing smartphone with a large screen ( for this period) of 5.5 inches. Consumers finally had the choice of a cheaper alternative if they wanted a large format mobile.
And who says big smartphone, says big battery. The Redmi Notes were also renowned for their excellent autonomy, a strong argument for users who were tired of monitoring the battery level of their mobile before the end of the day. Moreover, the first model of Redmi Note came in two configurations, one of which packed 2 GB of RAM, a generous amount of RAM for an entry-level smartphone at that time.
It was also at this time that Redmi brought 4G to budget smartphones, including its models in the Redmi Note range. The new generation of mobile network was until now reserved for less affordable terminals, and the range has enabled a whole segment of consumers to taste the joys of 4G, its much faster speeds and much lower latency than in 3G. It may make you smile today, but streaming a video, playing online, or simply downloading or browsing were activities that could be an obstacle course with a low-budget 3G smartphone. Redmi Note has helped popularize and make 4G accessible to everyone.
After conquering China and several Asian markets, Xiaomi officially launched in France in 2018. The brand’s products therefore became easily accessible to French consumers, who were impatiently awaiting this moment. Demand has been strong since Xiaomi’s debut in France, which is even opening physical stores. Its devices, including the famous Redmi Note 5 and Redmi Note 7, are sold by the biggest retailers and the main French operators, who have not lost the opportunity to ride the wave.
After successfully establishing itself in the smartphone market, Redmi began to diversify and expand its product ecosystem. Appear connected watches, the Redmi Watch, then wireless headphones, the Redmi Buds, which perfectly complement the experience offered by Redmi Note mobiles. Users can thus equip themselves entirely with Redmi, always with the desire to offer low prices, and to make quality accessible to all.
Like 4G in its time, 5G is disrupting the uses and possibilities offered by a smartphone. Redmi confirms its status as a pioneer in integrating technological innovations into low-cost devices by launching its first 5G-compatible smartphones in 2020.
In early 2021, the Redmi Note 9T 5G is released in France. It is not only the first model from Redmi to support 5G connectivity in France, but also the first smartphone considered affordable offering this technology. Once again, Redmi Note demonstrates its ability to incorporate the latest innovations in terminals at a contained price.
The Redmi Note range aims to continue its glorious journey and even seeks to move upmarket with premium devices, always at an unbeatable value for money of course. The latest addition to the brand’s catalog is the Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G, a smartphone that makes very few concessions.
It is equipped with an impressive 200 MP photo sensor, which allows you to capture ultra-detailed shots once the 200 MP mode is activated. By default, the smartphone takes 12.5MP photos by merging 16 pixels into 1, a well-known technique to absorb more light and thus take more successful shots, even in difficult conditions. The module also benefits from optical image stabilization to compensate for the effects of shaking.
The 6.67-inch AMOLED screen of the Redmi Note 12 Pro benefits from a refresh rate of 120 Hz, support for the Dolby Vision standard and high brightness of up to 900 nits. The mobile also has a wired charging power of 120W (full charge in just 19 minutes), which very few smartphones on the market are able to achieve. Thanks to such fast charging, plug in your device for just a few minutes to gain long hours of battery life.
