what's happening everyone my name is Alex and welcome back in today's video we are checking
out two of the latest devices from xiaomi and looking at the differences between them so on
the left hand side here I have the redmi note 12 Pro 5G and on the right hand side here I have
the redmi note 12 Pro Plus 5G so this one has the Plus in the name now the plus here is also about
a hundred dollars more expensive than the regular note 12 Pro so is it worth spending the extra 100
to get this one well we're definitely gonna find out on in today's video so first things first
let's start by checking out what comes in the box with the each device all right so in the box of
each device of course you're gonna find the clear case so you also have the user manual so you have
a USB a to a USBC cable and then in the box of the redmi note 12 Pro we are gonna find the 67 watt
fast charger in the box of the redmi note 12 Pro Plus you're gonna find an 120 watt fast charger so
both devices have a 5000mah our battery inside so the same battery pack inside both devices but if
you are charging the redmi note 12 Pro the 67 watt fast charger that comes in the Box this one takes
about 40 minutes to charge from 0 to 100 where if you are charging the redmi note 12 Pro Plus with
a 120 watt fast charger that comes in the Box it only takes about 20 minutes to charge this so if
you need a phone that charges super fast well the redmi note 12 Pro Plus will charge faster taking
a quick look at both devices and looking at the screens well they both look pretty similar don't
they well that's because they have the exact same screen so we have the same 6.67 inches
AMOLED screen the refresh rate of 120 hertz and a resolution of 1080p with a peak brightness of 900
nits on both of them so pretty much identical screens on the redmi Note 12 Pro and of course
the redmi note 12 Pro Plus now if you turn them on the side like this you will notice a bit of
a difference so first of all the redmi note 12 Pro is a bit lighter and also a bit thinner so
here we have 187 grams versus 210 grams so so the redmi note 12 Pro Plus is a bit thicker now both
devices have a plastic frame on as well and they also have the same fingerprint scanner on the side
here which is built in the power button at the top they both have the same IR Blaster we have a hole
for another microphone we have the holes for the second speaker so both devices have dual speakers
and then both devices do get a 3.5 mil audio jack which is something that we don't really see with
too many devices this um these days moving to the bottom well here we have the SIM card slot
we also have the hole for another microphone we have the USBC charging port and the holes Forum
the second speaker keep in mind that neither device can take an SD card but they can both
take two SIM cards at the same time so no SD card for these devices and turning the devices around
well the packs are a bit different so on the back of the redmi note 12 Pro we have a more more flat
back where the back of the redmi note 12 Pro Plus does have some curved edges I'm gonna say so it
is a bit easier holding in hand or not easier more comfortable I'm gonna say holding in hand
the redmi note 12 Pro Plus because of the curve of the edges here now the camera bumps on their
backs are also somewhat similar but the camera bump on the back of the redmi note 12 Pro Plus
is a bit thicker as you'd imagine because we have a 200 megapixel main sensor there versus
a 50 megapixel main sensor so aside from those main cameras on the backs that they both have the
same ultra white camera and the same 2 megapixel macro camera which I'm not even sure why they've
included and on the front end they both have the same camera as well okay and before we check out
some sample pictures I want to start by showing you some Sample video recordings that I've done
with both devices so both devices can do 4K 30 frames per second however that resolution the
video doesn't have any type of stabilization except the optical image stabilization that's
built in the main cameras but again if you're recording in 4k 30 frames per second the video
is not gonna look that steady I'm gonna say we do get better video stabilization if you're recording
in 1080P and the maximum recording resolution for the front facing cameras is 1080p at 60
frames per second so let's check out those Sample video recordings that I've done alright we have a
quick video test between the xiaomi redmi note 12 Pro and of course the xiaomi redmi note 12
Pro Plus so for this recording I'm doing 4K 30 frames per second with both devices and using
the main cameras on the back of the two devices now it seems that if you're recording in 4k 30
frames per second there is no video stabilization or if there is it doesn't really work that well
I did notice that when I'm recording in 1080P at 30 frames per second the window stabilization is
a bit better so I just wanted to show you how 4K recording would look like from these two devices
for our next test I switched the resolution to 1080p at 30 frames per second and from what I'm
seeing on the screens of both devices the video stabilization is much better at this resolution
so you're probably better off to record in 1080P at 30 frames per second with these two devices
if you want a smoother recordings so yeah 30p at 30 frames per second between the redmi note
12 Pro and the redmi note 12 Pro Plus and just in case you're wondering the maximum recording
resolution for the front facing cameras on both devices is 1080p at 60 frames per second we are
currently doing 1080p at 30 frames per second and it almost looks like we have some type of video
stabilization at this resolution I'll walk this way and I'll try walking a bit faster
just so you can see how the video quality is so yeah front facing cameras 1080p at 30 frames per
second so in my opinion pretty disappointing video quality from both device so it doesn't matter if
you're recording the redmi note 12 Pro Plus or the redmi note 12 Pro the video quality was just not
that great okay next we are moving on to pictures and we are starting with some pictures that I took
with the main camera so of course some the first few pictures that you are seeing I took at the
maximum resolution so 200 megapixels um on the xiaomi redmi Note 12 Pro Plus and 50 megapixels
on the redmi Note 12 Pro now if you just glance at those pictures if you don't zoom in you're
not gonna notice that big of a difference however the biggest difference you will notice when you
actually zoom in on those pictures so of course if you're zooming in on the pictures that I took with
the redmi note 12 Pro Plus you can see way more detail mostly when you're zooming in because those
files are massive so a lot of information in the pictures taken by the redmi note 12 Pro Plus but
as I said if you're just looking at the pictures on your phone screen without zooming in you're not
gonna notice that big of a difference but yes there is a big difference if you do take those
pictures and with a 200 megapixel um mod basically because the phone doesn't actually use that mode
for regular pictures as for regular pictures so pictures that you're gonna take on auto mode both
devices you can't really tell the difference you can't really tell that you have a 200 megapixel
sensor on the back of the redmi note 12 Pro Plus versus the 50 megapixel sensor that we have on the
back of the redmi note 12 Pro so those pictures do look pretty similar I actually prefer a few of
the pictures that I took with the redmi note on 12 of pro but overall you can't really go wrong
with either device for those daytime pictures so really no difference for um for the pictures taken
on auto mode now for nighttime pictures I was actually surprised to see that the redmi note
12 Pro does slightly better than um the redmi note 12 Pro Plus I find that the pictures the
nighttime pictures using the night mode that I took taken by the note 12 Pro are slightly
brighter and maybe they are a bit sharper but definitely leave a comment and let me know your
thoughts about them the pictures that I took with these two devices moving on to Performance well
surprise surprise there is really no difference for performance because both devices are using
the same chipset so you have the mediatek diamond City 1080 that's paired with 8 gigs
of RAM now both devices are running MIUI 14.05 which is base based on Android 12 so we still
have Android 12 on both devices and if we open the antutu Benchmark here we can see the scores here
so the redmi note 12 Pro Plus does get a slightly higher score even though they have the exact same
chipset on inside but it also looks like the redmi note 12 Pro does get slightly warmer when running
that test so I guess some having the thicker device because the redmi note 12 Pro Plus is a
bit thicker maybe helps with the heat dissipation and if we go to storage test here so this is um
the speed for the internal storage well not that big of a difference there either so performance
wise you're not gonna notice any difference in between these two devices so to quickly conclude
this video the three main differences between these two devices are as follows so 67 watt
fast charging on the redmi Note 12 Pro versus 120 watt fast charging on the redmi Note 12 Pro Plus
the redmi note 12 Pro Plus is also a bit thicker and a bit heavier this one is a bit thinner and
a bit lighter and the last difference of course is that main camera on the back so 200 megapixel
sensor versus a 50 megapixel sensor on the redmi Note 12 Pro so what do you guys think is uh is it
worth spending 100 extra dollars to get the redmi note 12 Pro Plus or you're better off saving a
hundred dollars and getting the redmi note 12 Pro definitely leave a comment and let me know
well hopefully this video was useful thanks for watching and I'll see you guys in the next one
