The upcoming Redmi Note 12 Turbo is reported to have remarkably thin front bezels, rivaling those of the iPhone 14. Redmi claims the phone will feature a 2.2 mm chin, which is 0.2 mm slimmer than the iPhone 14, as well as 1.42 mm side bezels and a 1.95 mm top bezel. While the bezel measurements aren’t entirely consistent, the phone’s side bezels are thinner than the iPhone 14’s 2.4 mm bezels. Additionally, there will be a small hole punch in the display.
Additionally, the device is expected to have a 6.67-inch screen size. Redmi has stated that the OLED display will have support for 68.7 billion colors, 100 percent DCI-P3 color gamut, 1920Hz PWM Dimming, and HDR10+ certification. The screen-to-body ratio is claimed to be as high as 93.45 percent.

The Redmi Note 12 Turbo is set to impress with its hardware specs, but its appearance may not be drastically different from other models in the series. Nevertheless, there are a few changes to note. For instance, the phone features individual lenses instead of a large camera housing like the other Redmi Note 12 models.
In all of the teasers we have had so far, the Redmi Note 12 Turbo is shown sporting white and silver finishes though a shade of black too would be joining the ranks soon. The back of the phone showcases three camera cutouts, including a significant 64 MP main lens. Alongside this, the phone will have dual speakers, a USB-C port, and what seems to be an IR blaster at the top. One interesting feature is the headphone jack, which is becoming less common in current smartphones, more so with high-end offerings.

Hardware specs
The upcoming Redmi Note 12 Turbo is expected to compete with high-end flagship phones, despite being a mid-range smartphone.
