Redmi 12C is Xiaomi’s latest budget smartphone and continues the company’s trend of offering good specifications at an attractive price. And the phone has got a price drop now. Further, now that the product is crossing its one-year lifespan, rumors and teasers for Redmi 13C also began. So let’s take a look at what Xiaomi has to offer with the Redmi 12C, along with its latest official price in Nepal.
Redmi 12C Overview:
Design, Display
To begin with, the Redmi 12C features a 6.71-inch HD+ display. As one would expect from an entry-level phone, there is no support for a high refresh rate. Neither has Xiaomi offered a higher touch sampling rate. Similarly, there’s a V-shaped notch on the front for selfies.
The design is quite appealing for a budget smartphone. The back panel is textured and has diagonal stripes with curved edges. The rectangular camera module holds a fingerprint sensor. Several color options are available for the Redmi 12C, including Black, Dark Blue, Light Blue, and Purple.

Performance
Inside, the smartphone is powered by a MediaTek Helio G85 chip. Built on a 12nm node, the SoC features two Cortex-A75 (@2.0 GHz) cores and six Cortex-A55 (@1.8 GHz) cores, which should fare well for day-to-day usage. The memory option includes up to 6GB of LPDDR4X RAM and up to 128GB of storage. The latter is expandable up to 512GB via a microSD card.
Over on the software front, it boots on the “exclusive optimized version” of MIUI 13, says Xiaomi. It’s likely Android 12 at the core, but you won’t get all the features of MIUI 13.
Rest of the specs
The camera hardware on the Redmi 12C includes a 50MP primary sensor and an auxiliary lens on the back. For selfies, you get a 5MP snapper. Moreover, the smartphone is fueled by a 5000mAh battery that supports 10W charging. It comes with usual connectivity options like WiFi, Bluetooth, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
