The design, Cameras and the lack of type C port might be a shortcoming but the internals are very ok for the price. Not bad at all, one should just get a case to cover the body.
The camera is good. 3 times better than other cameras in this price range. I only doubt that the quality does not reflect a 50MP sensor. Not withstanding, the camera is okay.
I'd say you're too harsh. You listed almost only pros right till the end, just to finish with "it's hard to recommend this phone". Wuuut. The few cons like waiting 2 hours for charging and placement of fingerprint sensor sound like silly complaints honestly :) Especially considering the price. Also, when did 5.000 mAh start to get low? Until recently we were happy to get a full day on a charge (most iPhone users still are) and get a full charge after a whole night's charging. And cameras were barely usable at this price point. Puts the things into perspective, right?
Hello. Thanks for your honest criticism on this video. Viewers like you help me a lot in keeping my content in good shape. In the future I will appreciate more comments of such from you. However, this device is different from other phones in so many aspects. This is the reason why I said that it is a controversial device. 1. A USB 2.0 port on a Helio G85 device - doesn't make any sense 2. A 50px camera on a 720px screen resolution. It can take clear pictures, but the screen cannot render the best out of the picture until it is viewed from another device with a higher display resolution. 3. The battery is strong, but the time it takes to charge it is much. In this aspect, I have my primary audience in mind - Nigerians. Here, an entire week can go by without electricity. Powering personal petrol generator is now expensive. You can understand why a fast charger is important with the little availability of power supply. 4. The design could have been a little better. Let me stop right here. Comparing this device with other phones in this price range, this Redmi 12c is my best bet. Yet, after recommending it to some of my viewers, their response is always the same, "I don't like the design. I can never use a phone with USB 2.0 charging port." Bro, how do you continue to recommend a device that more than a few persons have rejected to others?
Definitely a good buy for people with low income or everyday phone for every day basic function in a work environment. Negative side is the 2 hour charging time.
Hello megalite. Love your channel so much. I'm glad to be a subscriber. What phone would you suggest I go for between Itel S23(4GB RAM) and Redmi 12C(3GB RAM)
Hi Megalite, please oooo. I need your advice. Which reasonable phone can i buy now, today, in Nigeria for 150k or less with good battery, good camera, good functionality / processor. I don't mind the brand but need your advice on a good phone to get for a Nephew. It doesn't have to be new replease but I'm after performance.
I bought this redmi 12c bcos I needed to buy a phone I can just use without giving me problem and your review every now and then motivated me. Now just less than 72hours I want to cry already. I just switched off the phone to charge and when it got to 100% I Removed from charging and switched on, it took more than 2 minutes it didn't come up. I had to in fear press the switch again b4 it came up. Help me, why is a new phone like this at this time.....
Trust me, you don't have a problem. It shouldn't take up to 2 min to turn on, maybe it's because this is the initial time you are turning it on. Also, check the storage space of your phone to ensure that you have not bought the 3GB/32GB variant.
@@megalite-unboxing it's the 3/64 variant...... But now it's functioning properly. The problem was the corrupt memory card I put, it's been smooth since I removed it
In this price range, when it comes to camera, this is the best I have seen so far. Better than Infinix hot 30i, Tecno spark 10c and the rest. Other budget phones usually have between 13MP and 16MP sensors. But this phone comes with 50MP. Although, in the video, I complained that the quality of the pictures taking with the camera does not reflect the 50MP sensor, it is still better than what the cameras of other budget phones will offer.
Good evening sir. Just got this phone for my kid sis and saw your review and how you take time to respond to viewers. You just got a sub from me. Great work sir
Can't promise you anything cause I have lots of work to do. But, I will try and talk more on battery performance and charging time in my future videos.
It's the best for its price. Tecno and infinix's offerings only have good designs and usb c port going for them. The average buyer in Africa doesn't even care or understand the benefits of a USB c.
I got the Redmi 12c phone it's working pretty good for me so far the only thing is that it takes long to charge otherwise i recommend this phone to anyone. Redmi is really good phone im using the 3gb ram and 64gb storage phone i think the phone will be better with the update bro good review by the way
Bro, the thing is that fast charging depend on your personal perception. 2 hours might be ok for you, but 1 hour might be too long for another person. On the average, the A1+ and 12c has the same charger and they both charge slow.
Good day sir, i want to buy a new phone, have watch too many phone reviews here, now confuse on what to buy. I need a better phone with better camera, lasting battery ,4/ 128gb, d phone is fast. Please recommend a phone for me to buy. B/w 90k - 115k is ok
In your comment above what you said you are looking for includes fast performance, lasting battery, big storage and fast performance. Design is not one of them. So go for the redmi 12c Other phone in this price range includes item s18, tecno pop 7 pro, tecno spark 10c, INFINIX smart 7 plus and hot 30i. But the redmi 12c is far better than these other phones.
I love this review, but now I am confused. Which should I get between infinix smart 7 plus and this redmi 12c? I am a student, so I need a great phone that won't hang. Please recommend any for me...
You comment actually touched me because what you said is correct. But do you know how many young africans have innovative minds? I am one of them. It hurts me that ordinarry MP3 players, keypad phones and rechargable lamps are imprted from China when there are tons of young africans that are willing to learn and make these products. Truth be said, it is not entirely the fault of the africans people, most of which are so poor. To make these things require custant electricity, purchase of raw materials, securing landed properties and buying production machines. If only most innovative africans have the needed support from THOSE ON TOP, things will happen. But until then, we will judging the imported products based on what we know we could have done if we had the needed support.

Bro, how do you continue to recommend a device that more than a few persons have rejected to others?
Redmi, Realme and Xiaomi are Top Competiting phones when it comes To Designs of it's phones.
How do they make this phone charger faster when in use.
It takes times to add up battery percent
The default charger cannot charge it fast.
Definitely a good buy for people with low income or everyday phone for every day basic function in a work environment. Negative side is the 2 hour charging time.
Hello megalite. Love your channel so much. I'm glad to be a subscriber. What phone would you suggest I go for between Itel S23(4GB RAM) and Redmi 12C(3GB RAM)
Redmi 12c 3GB RAM
@@megalite-unboxing Thank you. I'm definitely getting it then !
sir What other phone will you recommend based on strong battery life, great performance, a nice design with a budget of 125k
I will recommend you go for Camon 20 although the price is above 125k, but if you must stick to your budget then spark 10 pro will suffice.
@@megalite-unboxing thank you so much sir 🙌
You're always welcome

Good evening please sir, will buying and 18 watt or 33 watt charger help in its charging time

@@megalite-unboxing okay sir last questions if you don’t mind sir
1. What can be the price and will it work with the 12c
since the phone was not build with a 33-watt charger an not sure it will work on it

Thanks a bunch. This comment from you will make my day. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Please which is better between redmi 12c and tecno spark 10c
Redmi 12c for me
@@megalite-unboxing is the Redmi 12c good for gaming
I bought one of this two days ago super cool
Great. Good for you.
For how much ?
Thanks for this very good review - But the background music is sincerly stressing.
Take care of yourself.
Noted
Can the SD card memory merge with the internal memory as one?
No, it doesn't work that way.
Im looking at three phones Samsung a04s, Redmi 12c and the Tecno spark 10c but I don't know which is best in terms of performance
Redmi 12c
Sorry for the delay in response, but spark 10c for me
@@megalite-unboxing thank you sir
redmi 12c
Which one did u buy. I'm also still deciding on the three
Please does this phone also have a 6.53 inch screen variant?...because I found on Jumia one with this spec?...
I don't think so, only 6.71" inch variant
Do a battery test of the redmi 12c and gaming too
Can't promise you anything cause I have lots of work to do. But, I will try and talk more on battery performance and charging time in my future videos.
@@megalite-unboxing okay thanks and will be waiting anytime

You have a very strong point Chiefson. I never really thought of what the average user wants.

Redmi is really good phone im using the 3gb ram and 64gb storage phone i think the phone will be better with the update bro good review by the way
My friend has redmi A 1+ and it's very fast in charging so I'm surprised how this one is slow in charging
Bro, the thing is that fast charging depend on your personal perception. 2 hours might be ok for you, but 1 hour might be too long for another person. On the average, the A1+ and 12c has the same charger and they both charge slow.
How much did you get it ?
Please does it have very loud speaker
I have been following you, Please do a review for freeyond phones please 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I can't say for now, but i will look into it
The 3gb ram version is it better than the infinix smart 7 plus
Yes
@@megalite-unboxing I'm guessing that's because of it's chipset right? Because the smart 7 plus comes with 7gb of ram
Which 10wats charger can charge it fast
10-watt chargers are usually slow. To get any phone to charge faster, one needs to get a faster charger. 18-watt and above.
@@megalite-unboxing recommend me a particular type
Orimo products are good. Anything from 18-watt and above is ok.
is this phone good for playing games like free fire etc?
Yes it is.
@@megalite-unboxing thanks for the reply, is the Itel p40 also good for playing free fire?,just asking
