Xiaomi India has launched its Redmi Note 12 series launch in Delhi. The Redmi Note 12 starts at Rs 17,999 for the base 4GB RAM version, while the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ starts at Rs 29,999 for the base 8GB RAM option. The Redmi Note 12 Pro starts at Rs 26,999. The pricing makes this the most expensive Redmi Note series ever launched in India. Redmi offers bank discounts, exchange offers, and bonuses to bring down the price for those buying these phones. All three phones will be 5G-ready, a first for the Redmi Note series. There will be no Redmi S or Redmi T variants this time.
Manu Kumar Jain, the former Xiaomi India Managing Director, opened the launch event in a surprise move. Jain has moved on to a global role since 2020. However, his move also came when Xiaomi faced challenges and scrutiny from the Indian government. The company has launched three Redmi Note phones today, all 5G-ready.
