Hi, I'm just intensely disappointed by my new Redmi Note 12 (2 months ago). It's my first time buying a Xiaomi and my phone is always lagging. It refreshes my apps if I pass from one app to another

From Redditthe camera is pretty, the battery is moderately staying too long alive, but the bugs are irritating esp the ads inside the phone whenever data or internet is on it appears., ithought it was virus had it checked on the xiaomi store it self they said its normal.
redmi note 12 is total garbage, xiaomi used to be cool, e.g. at random moments it doesn't see wifi at all until I enter airplane mode
Third class Phone, I don't have that much heavy apps and play only 1 online game but lagging like h3ll 🥲
Agree, used it for a week then returned it . this level of phones from xiaomi is pure crap , similar to Redmi note 13 pro 4g , Garbage level , slow, laggy , and pain in the neck
I have the same phone and it's really decent for its price tag. Might be a hardware problem for you, because mine rarely gets laggy.
It's one if not the best budget phones out there, it has an amazing price for what it offers - The display is one of the biggest part of it, it's amazing for this price to get an super amoled display and a 120hz refresh rate panel
The cameras are really good, but only when there's a lot of light, most of the times there will be a lot of grain in darker places Overall it's a great phone for the price, you should get it
Been great. Been a few months now. No slowdowns, battery charges pretty fast. All in all its a good choice. I don't game on it so don't know gaming performance tho.
I recently bought a Redmi Note 12 4G and I regret buying it. Screen/display seems low-res/low-quality, the battery isn't good; phone heats up sometimes, and apps close on their own in Recents. Camera is the worst. Not to mention the bloatware and insane ads.
