Redmi Note 12 series, comprising the Redmi Note 12 5G, Redmi Note 12 4G, Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G, and Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G model, are currently available globally. The Chinese smartphone brand is reportedly looking to expand the lineup by adding two new handsets — Redmi Note 12S and Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G. Before the formal debut, images and the entire specifications of the purported smartphones have leaked online. The Redmi Note 12S is tipped to feature a MediaTek Helio G96 SoC under the hood. The Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G could arrive as a toned-down version of the Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G and is said to be powered by a Snapdragon 732G SoC.

Tipster TechDocterz (@TechDocterz) leaked renders and specifications of the Redmi Note 12S and Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G. The renders suggest a design similar to the previous Redmi Note 12 models and show a hole punch cutout on the phones' displays. A rear camera setup with multiple sensors is seen arranged in a rectangular-shaped camera island. Meanwhile, the power button and the volume rockers are seen on the left spine of the smartphone.

The Redmi Note 12S is tipped to come with a 6.43-inch full-HD+ AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate. It could be backed by a MediaTek Helio G96 SoC. The Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G, on the other hand, is said to feature a slightly bigger 6.67-inch full-HD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate.
