We have not made a mistake with the number: the Redmi Note 12 is already a reality. It has not been presented, but the CEO of Redmi has made it clear that it is just around the corner. And no, Xiaomi has not lost his mind. The Redmi Note 12 is not going to be launched just a month after the Redmi Note 11. What happens is that the Redmi Note 11 was presented in China at the end of 2021 . It was not until last month that they landed in Europe . What does this mean? That China is already renewing the terminals.
Xiaomi already has the Redmi Note 12 almost ready
In October 2021, Xiaomi presented the Redmi Note 11 in China . The Asian and European markets have a few months difference in terms of news, so everything arrives later in the West . You should not confuse releases in China with international releases.
The CEO of Xiaomi has shown on Weibo, the Chinese Twitter, that the next generation of Redmi Note is just around the corner. He has not confirmed it 100%, but it is almost certain that he is talking about the Redmi Note 12.
Xiaomi’s strategy is to launch 2 series of Redmi Note every year . In 2021 we saw the Redmi Note 10 and the Redmi Note 11. Now, in 2022, it’s time to see the Redmi Note 12 and Redmi Note 13. We are talking about the Asian market and not the European one, since the latter has a few months difference at the time to present products.
There are almost always about 6 months difference between launches, so if the Redmi Note 12 are presented in China in May, they will do so in Europe around October . And so with all releases.
Focused on performance
Some leaks suggest that the first release of 2022 will be focused on performance and the second on design, something similar to what we saw with the Redmi Note 10 and Redmi Note 11. If true, we could be facing terminals very similar to the current ones. Redmi Note 11 but with more advanced and powerful hardware.
This Xiaomi announcement warns that the terminals for the Asian market will probably be announced in May. We will know all its details, but it will not be until after the summer when they are available in Europe or Latin America .
