Redmi Note 12 series is set to debut globally on March 23rd. There could be multiple models in the lineup, possibly a high-end Pro version as well. Now, ahead of the announcement, a new Redmi phone with the model number 2303CRA44A has been spotted on the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) database, as spotted by GoAndroid. This comes after the Redmi 2303CRA44A was spotted on the EEC certification recently. The FCC listing confirms the phone would come with 67W fast charging support.
While the marketing name is not clear, we believe, it could be the Redmi Note 12S, a rebrand of the Redmi Note 11S with some changes to the design and hardware. Let’s check out the FCC listing.
Redmi Note 12S appears on the FCC
The FCC listing has images of the Redmi 12S, which show off the complete design. The front has a centre-positioned punch-hole cutout for the selfie snapper and narrow bezels. The volume rocker and power button are on the right edge. The phone has a large rectangular module on the back that houses a large primary sensor, followed by two other regular cutouts and an LED flash. There is also Redmi branding on the back panel.
As for the hardware, the FCC listing shows the Redmi Note 12S will have support for 67W fast charging support. This means the phone will replace the MDY-11-EZ charger on the Redmi Note 11S with the new MDY-14-EU/EK/EL. Unfortunately, not much else is known about the phone at the moment but since the launch date is fast approaching, we should know more details soon.
Redmi Note 11S specifications
To recall the specifications, the Redmi Note 11S sports a 6.43-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate, Corning Gorilla Glass, Eye-care mode, 1000nits peak brightness, and a punch-hole camera. The Redmi mid-range phone ships with the MediaTek Helio G96 chipset coupled with Mali-G57 GPU.
The phone packs up to 8GB RAM and 128GB storage that is further expandable via a microSD card. Though the Redmi Note 11S launched with Android 11 OS, the phone has received the Android 12 update based on MIUI 13. Connectivity features include 4G LTE, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, and USB Type-C port for charging and data transfers.
Redmi Note 11S is equipped with an IP53 rating for splash resistance, Z-axis linear motor, dual stereo speakers, IR blaster, and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for security. The handset packs a 5,000mAh battery and supports 33W fast charging support.
The Redmi Note 11S has a quad-camera system that is headlined by a 108MP primary camera. Accompanying the primary lens is an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, a 2MP depth sensor, and a 2MP macro unit.
