With the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC, the firm says that the Redmi Note 12 Turbo would set a “new standard” (translated from Chinese). The Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 SoC is manufactured on a 4nm technology and has a maximum clock speed of 2.91GHz. It includes an Adreno 725 GPU.

The phone is designed with a flat frame and three circular camera rings on the rear. The teaser also says the phone’s primary camera sensor would be 64 megapixels. The other two cameras will most likely have ultra-wide and macro lenses. Next to the camera sensors is an LED flash module.
The primary speaker, USB Type-C connector, and SIM tray are all positioned on the phone’s bottom side. Along the top edge, there is a 3.5mm headphone socket, as well as holes for the IR blaster and secondary microphone. The power and volume buttons for the phone are seen on the right edge.
