Redmi Note 12 Explorer launched with 210W fast charging

With 210W of fast charging, the new Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Explorer sets a new standard of wired charging speeds.

It charges completely from 0 to 100 percent in about 9 minutes. In fact, the phone reaches 66 percent after five minutes.

This is not USB Power Delivery, but rather a proprietary Xiaomi technology. The future USB-PD standard calls for 240W at 50V at 5A. In its place, Xiaomi maintains a low voltage of 20V that divides the electricity into three channels of 20V at 3.5A each.

Due to the GaN technology, the charger that generates those astonishing 210W is also remarkably compact, measuring just 67.3 x 64.3 x 30mm. The charger also outputs 65W over USB-PD for use with other devices.

Other specifications of the phone are pretty solid as well. It has a 6.67-inch OLED display with a refresh rate of 120Hz.

Powering the smartphone is MediaTek’s new Dimensity 1080 SoC which comes with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage.

The rear camera setup of the Redmi Note 12 Explorer is highlighted by a 200MP primary sensor (Saamsung ISOCELL HPX) with OIS. Then, you also get an 8MP ultrawide camera, a 2MP macro cameras and a 16MP selfie camera.

We don't know if this phone will be released in India or if it will be limited to China.
