Global Redmi 12C is long-anticipated, and Xiaomi plans to debut it soon. The intensity of the wait is forcing the rumor mill to spill its details web-wide before launch. Notably, the phone is already retailing in China, so we know what to expect. Here’s our take on the leaks, Xiaomi Redmi 12C is ensuing as a Global contender.


The fresh batch of leaks entails a real-life image of the phone revealing its design and a view of its retail box.
