Does the 200MP camera really take better pictures?

The 200MP sensor allows for very detailed photos in good lighting and offers good digital zoom. However, the phone uses 'pixel binning' technology daily to create high-quality 12.5MP photos that are more light-sensitive.

Is 120W charging safe for the battery's health?

Yes, Xiaomi uses two separate battery cells and multiple temperature sensors to prevent excessive wear. However, it is recommended to use the 120W mode only when necessary to extend the battery life for years.

Does this phone have a memory card slot?

No, the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ does not have a microSD card slot. Therefore, it is recommended to choose the 256GB model if you plan to take many 4K videos or 200MP photos.

Is the phone fully waterproof?

No, the device has an IP53 rating, which means it can only withstand light water splashes and dust. Submerging it in water can damage the device.

Is there a 3.5mm headphone jack?

Yes, unlike many modern smartphones, this model has a classic headphone jack on the top of the device.

When will the software support for this model end?

Official Android version updates are expected to end in early 2026, but security patches should continue until March 2027.
