Redmi 12C price teased, Amazon availability confirmed ahead of launch in India this week

Highlights

• Redmi 12C will be available via Amazon when launched.
• There’s a microsite on the e-commerce platform which spills some beans on the specifications.
• Redmi 12C price in India is expected to be under Rs 10,000.

Redmi Note 12 4G and Redmi 12C are confirmed to launch in India at a special event on March 30th. The former will arrive as a cheaper version of the same phone that debuted in the country earlier this year. Redmi 12C, on the other hand, will come as a budget offering. Now, ahead of the announcement, the Redmi 12C has been listed on Amazon, confirming its online availability. There’s a microsite on the e-commerce platform which spills some beans on the specifications.

The microsite reveals the Redmi 12C will be powered by the MediaTek Helio G85 SoC, which is claimed to be the fastest among the phones that are priced under Rs 10,000 and launched in 2023. This is a good indication to suggest the Redmi 12C could come in a similar price range.

Redmi 12C specifications

Redmi 12C will have a large 6.71-inch HD+ display with a waterdrop notch for the selfie shooter, a 20:9 aspect ratio, and a standard 60Hz refresh rate. The phone will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity G85 SoC paired with up to 6GB RAM and probably 128GB storage that could be further expandable. There’s expandable 5GB RAM support as well.
