The Redmi Note is one of Xiaomi\u2019s bestselling smartphone ranges ever. While it started out by offering reasonably good specifications at great pricing, the lineup has since diversified into countless different models, which are not easy to keep track of. The higher end of the Redmi Note series now leans into the territory of subpremium phones.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus<\/a> begs your attention with impressive specifications, such as 120-watt superfast charging, a 200MP camera, incredible 120Hz AMOLED displays with Dolby Vision, and more. We\u2019re particularly curious about that 200MP camera and whether it lives up to what the company promises or is just another gimmick.<\/p>\n

Chinese phone brands often compete on the grounds of raw specifications and numbers, trying to imply that higher always means better. But as tech reviewers like myself have attempted to address over the years, more megapixels do not necessarily translate to a better camera.<\/p>\n

Taking this notion further, we compare the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus with the iPhone 14 Pro<\/a> in a seemingly unusual, but interesting, battle of quality versus quantity.<\/p>\n

The Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus is among the first batch of smartphones with a 200MP primary camera. It relies on Samsung\u2019s ISOCELL HPX sensor \u2014 the cheaper and toned-down version of the 200MP HP2 sensor<\/a> seen on the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra<\/a>. The HPX is a 1\/1.4-inch format sensor and marks a notable increase in size over the 108MP sensor on the previous generation of Redmi and Xiaomi devices. The sensor allows 16-in-1 pixel binning<\/a>, which means 16 tiny square pixels (in a 4\u00d74 grid) combine to deliver 12.5MP images. It also supports 4-in-1 pixel binning to create 50MP images for scenarios requiring larger images with massive zoom allowances.<\/p>\n

Like any other phone with pixel-binning, the technology allows Note 12 Pro Plus\u2019 200MP camera to create images using brighter superpixels (four or 16 pixels combined into one), which is especially useful in lowlight conditions. The sensor also sports 14-bit color depth, staggered HDR, and video recording up to 4K resolution at 120 frames per second (fps). However, the midrange MediaTek Dimensity 1080<\/a> chipset powering the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus may not be able to provide enough processing power to utilize those capabilities, and there are no official claims about which of those the phone can actually use.<\/p>\n

In contrast, the iPhone 14 Pro<\/a> features a 48MP camera primary sensor. Despite the much lower megapixel count, the iPhone 14 Pro\u2019s camera sensor is larger in size. In fact, the 1\/1.28-inch sensor is the largest used on any iPhone so far. The most evident benefit of the larger sensor is that it permits more light, not only capturing brighter images, but also retaining more details. The iPhone also supports 4-in-1 pixel binning, resulting in 12MP images.<\/p>\n

Pricewise, this comparison makes little sense, but the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus\u2019 camera sensor comes reasonably close to the iPhone 14 Pro\u2019s in terms of raw specs, spurring us to test how the $300 phone competes against the Apple flagship. Before comparing the iPhone to the Redmi midranger, let\u2019s briefly look at the differences between a 12.5MP image and a full-blown 200MP image from the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus.<\/p>\n
