The phone works very well, and the defects were no longer noticeable after I removed the tempered glass for the screen. A small negative point though, having a whole screen full of micro scratches for a phone bought in perfect condition.

The phone complies with the photos and description. The only drawbacks are that the charger sent is not compatible with the phone and I think the phone could have been cleaned better (dust in the bindings).

I bought it on the advice of my son, who knows a lot about telephony. I'm delighted with my purchase.

I tested the first one that I bought in perfect condition. Sincerely it seems very slow and the transitions not fluid at all I do not understand at all. My old techno camon, which is over 6 years old, is much smoother than this Redmi.

The purchase process was easy. However, the experience with the shipping process was very bad. The shipping status update was not done in a timely manner, so I never had an update on the status of the shipment. I was also not notified in advance of the delivery. Nor was a telephone number provided for me to pick up the shipment.

The Xiaomi Redmi 12, launched in June 2023, offers practical improvements over previous Redmi models, focusing on everyday usability and a straightforward, no-fuss design. If you want a device that gets the basics right without fuss, this one’s for you. Nearly two years old, but still more than capable for daily tasks and light entertainment.

Key features:

Release Date: June 2023
Display: 6.79-inch IPS LCD, FHD+ resolution (2460 x 1080 pixels), 90Hz refresh rate
Processor: MediaTek Helio G88
Camera: Triple rear camera system (50MP wide, 8MP ultra-wide, 2MP macro)
Operating System: Ships with Android 13 (MIUI 14)
Build: Glass front and back with a sturdy plastic frame, IP53 rating for basic splash and dust resistance
Connectivity: 4G LTE support and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac)

Who is this for?

The Xiaomi Redmi 12 is a solid fit for students, first-time smartphone users, or anyone after a big screen for streaming and browsing without the bells and whistles you may not use. Compared to something like the Galaxy A14, the Redmi 12 gives you a larger display and more versatile camera in a similar price segment. Heavy gamers and those looking for ultra-fast performance might want to look at higher-end models, but for calls, social media, and the odd Netflix episode, it does the trick.

Pros & Cons:

Pros	Cons
Large, vibrant display with smooth 90Hz refresh rate.	No 5G support—limited to 4G connectivity.
Versatile triple camera setup for creative shots.	Entry-level processor not built for demanding gaming or multitasking.
Splash and dust resistant (IP53)—a thoughtful touch for daily use.	Lacks stereo speakers and some premium extras like NFC in certain regions.

Why refurbished?

Picking a refurbished Xiaomi Redmi 12 helps reduce electronic waste and keeps a quality phone in circulation (which we reckon the planet will thank you for). Every pre-owned device on Back Market is rigorously tested and quality-checked, so you know it’s up to scratch before it lands on your doorstep. Learn more about our quality standards.
