For the most part, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 4G comes with a handful of features that are synonymous to flagship phones but somehow they managed to keep the price affordable which is very exciting to find out.

Design & Display
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 4G design is one of a kind, i fell in love with the ice blue color right away but i must say the size of this very phone appears a bit larger than normal so keep that in mind.

Final Thoughts
Like I said earlier, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 4G Price in Nigeria feels too good to be true, the features here are incredible. Honestly, it is hard to find a smartphone with all these features in this price point.
However, have heard some little complains about the 4GB RAM variant, I tried out the 6GB RAM variant which is what this review is based on. So if you have a few cash to spare I highly recommend you go for 6GB or 8GB variants.
