We could see the power and volume controls on the right side.
For fingerprint authentication, the power button also serves as a fingerprint sensor.
The metallic frame of the Redmi Note 12s adds a certain originality to the industrial design of the smartphone, and I must admit that it does appear rather elegant.

It takes beautiful pictures in a variety of lighting situations and try out new viewpoints thanks to this adaptable camera configuration.

Picture Quality
Using the dedicated night mode on the note 12S will sometimes get you brighter photos with a better expose detail in the shadows.
The difference is minor, though opting out of the night enhancements will get you a more natural look with a little more detail.
In low light the 12s ultra wide photos have a passable level of detail and colour saturation.
However, you can toggle on the night mode which does improve the exposure colours and an image range.
These are likeable with great colours, high contrast and an okay level of detail.

For videos, recording 4k videos from the main camera are impressive with a high level of detail a pleasant rendition lively colours and good dynamic range.
The sharpening is maybe a bit much but the footage is so really good.
The ultra-wide camera shoots intensity pure resolution the quality is great with nice detail, low noise, accurate colours and wide dynamic range.
There is electronic stabilisation though not in 4k, otherwise it’s always on and it does a decent job in smoothing things out.
In low light conditions. The main cam does a decent job with this video recording.
There’s a bright exposure and saturated colours, your dynamic range and enough detail.
There is noticeable noise though.
