Qualcomm has released its latest mid-range 4nm mobile processor, the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2. Despite its name, the SoC is actually less powerful than the Snapdragon 7 Gen 2 and it is confirmed to be powering the Redmi Note 13 Pro that’s launching on 21 September.

Today, the Redmi Note 12 series has finally arrived in Malaysia. The local sets that are available in the market are the Redmi Note 12, Redmi Note 12 5G and Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G. Below are the details of the prices and availability.

Previously, we reported on the release of the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 SoC, Qualcomm’s latest ‘flagship’ chipset for mid-range devices. Well, we don’t have to wait long before seeing the processor in action as it will be powering the Redmi Note 12 Turbo that’s launching on 28 March 2023.

We thought that it was super awesome that Redmi was offering 18 months warranty for the Redmi Note 7 instead of the usual 12. Now you won’t have to worry about your phone even longer as Lazada is offering an extra 1 to 2 years warranty with LazadaCare Plus when you purchase the device on the official Mi Store on Lazada.

Redmi announced on their official Weibo account that the Redmi Note 7 Pro  will be their first smartphone to feature the latest Snapdragon 675 chipset which was only released last October which makes this smartphone one of the first to have this chipset.

So Xiaomi Malaysia has officially opened their first Authorized Mi Store in Suria KLCC on level 3. Although the store has been around for a few weeks already, it's only today that the special grand launching ceremony was held. In addition, the Mi Mix 2 and Redmi Note 5A Prime also made an appearance at the store and both models will be coming soon into the Malaysia market.

Like previous Xiaomi devices, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 has really stirred the midrange pot by offering high-performance hardware at just RM649. Featuring one of the latest MediaTek Helio X10 processors, a 5.5-inch full HD display, 13MP phase detection autofocus rear camera, infra-red universal remote control and more, how much more value does the Redmi Note 2 have to offer? We answer this question in our full review of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2.

Xiaomi’s final product reveal of the year, which takes place tomorrow (24 November 2015) has given us the last tease. And it has revealed that the speculated Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Pro is actually a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, but wait...wasn't the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 just released a few months back? Well yes, and we're getting a Redmi Note 3 because...why not? 

Priced at RM649 and packing in a fast MediaTek Helio X10 processor with a 13MP rear camera featuring phase detection autofocus tech specs, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 offers a good amount of value in it's 8.3mm thin body. We not only do a hands-on video of the Redmi Note 2 below but we also take it for a spin with Asphalt 8: Airborne (this time with both hands). Check out our Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 hands-on video below.
