Xiaomi launched its Note 12 Series in China recently and ever since then there has been news about the series coming to India as well, but with some rebranding. The Note 12 Series launched in China consists of 4 smartphones- Redmi Note 12, Redmi Note 12 Pro, Redmi Note 12 Pro+, and Redmi Note 12 Explorer Edition. All these smartphones are expected to come to India with different names. The latest we hear is that the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ model is coming to India shortly as the Xiaomi 12i HyperCharge. MIUI tester Kacper Skzypek has tipped this information about Note 12 Pro+ launching as 12i HyperCharge in India.
The HyperCharge devices from Xiaomi focus on offering a super fast charging speed like the Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge came with 120W fast charging support. The Note 12 Pro+ has already bagged a BIS certificate and has also been spotted on the IMEI database, so the launch seems imminent. Keeping up with its predecessor, the Xiaomi 12i HyperCharge might also come with 120W fast charging. The other specifications will be similar to the Note 12 Pro+ that is already available in China.

Redmi Note 12 Pro+/ Xiaomi 12i HyperCharge Specs
The smartphone will be powered by MediaTek 1080 chipset under the hood paired with up to 12GB RAM and up to 256GB storage. It will flaunt a 6.67-inch Full HD+ OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate.

The front will have a 16MP selfie lens for selfies and video calls. The Xiaomi 12i HyperCharge will pack a 5000mAh battery under the hood with 120W fast charging. It will run Android 13 out of the box.
Xiaomi 12i HyperCharge: Expected Price
The Xiaomi 12i HyperCharge is expected to be priced under Rs. 30,000 in India. Since Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge was priced at a starting rate of Rs. 26,999, its successor will most likely be priced slightly above it. In China, the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ is available for CNY 2099 which converts to around Rs. 24,000, but the India price is expected to be somewhere between Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 30,000. The 12i HyperCharge smartphone is expected to launch in India in early 2023.
Meanwhile, Xiaomi itself has not confirmed anything about the launch of any Note 12 Series device in India as of now, so we will have to wait to hear the announcement from the horse’s mouth.
