Weeks after introducing its Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro flagships to the Philippine market, Xiaomi has launched something for entry-level consumers in the country.
The Redmi 12C is now official locally, carrying price tags of P5,499 (around $101), P6,499 ($119), and P7,499 ($138) for the 3GB/32GB, 4GB/64GB, and 4GB/128GB memory configurations, respectively. You can buy any of the three variants from a Xiaomi-authorized offline store or online — on Shopee, Lazada, or TikTok Shop. Each purchase entitles you to a free Mi Compact Bluetooth Speaker 2 worth P599 ($11).
There’s also a Redmi 12C version with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage that is available through Xiaomi’s e-commerce platforms and comes with a free pair of Redmi Buds 3 earphones. It costs P8,999 ($165), but early birds can get it for a discounted price of P8,599 ($158).
