the redmi note 12 pro+ 5g continues to offer a premium in-hand feel thanks to its glass body. the rear panel curves towards to the flat plastic frame, ensuring it feels comfortable to hold even for long durations, despite the phone weighing about 208g. because the weight is well distributed, the phone does not feel as heavy in the hand. the device also has an ip53 rating for basic protection against water splashes.

xiaomi sent us the arctic white color of the redmi note 12 pro+ 5g, which, according to me, is the best looking of the lot. the shiny texture makes the phone look striking and premium. despite the glossy paint job, the white color helps hide fingerprints and smudges a lot better compared to the obsidian black and iceberg blue colors.
