Design and connectivity
Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G
Starting with the design, both devices have a plastic body on the back and sides. Redmi uses a metallic paint and a domino-style camera block to highlight the main camera. The Galaxy prefers a matte finish and places the lenses individually on the lid, just like the brand’s more expensive models.
Korean still has some advantages over Chinese in this regard. We are mainly talking regarding the more compact and lighter body than its rival, in addition to the IP67 certification, which guarantees resistance once morest dust and water.
Samsung Galaxy A34
The Note 12 Pro 4G contains a fingerprint reader integrated into the power button, while the A34 features the most modern biometric sensor under the screen. And speaking of the front, Xiaomi used a hole-shaped notch, once morest an already outdated teardrop notch from Samsung’s competitor.
The user will not be without the possibility of expanding storage with these cell phones, due to the presence of a microSD slot in the hybrid drawer present in both. They also have fifth generation Wi-Fi and NFC, which in the case of Redmi will depend on the market. The Galaxy’s Bluetooth 5.3 is more advanced than the other duelist’s version 5.0.
The A34’s more compact, light and resistant design gives it the first point.

Both the Chinese and the Korean use an AMOLED type screen, with a high brightness level, to allow good visibility even on sunny days. Full HD+ resolution is also present in the duo, which gives good image definition.
The Redmi’s display is 6.67 inches and is a little larger than the Galaxy’s 6.6 inches, in addition to also winning in frontal use. Not to mention the Dolby Vision support provided by Xiaomi, to improve playback in compatible streams. The A34 responds with Gorilla Glass 3 protection once morest scratches.
At least, these smartphones deliver a refresh rate of 120 Hz, with great fluidity in system animations and compatible games.
The Note 12 Pro 4G takes the point this time.

Their sound part is made up of a stereo system, which helps to improve the user’s immersive experience. Xiaomi inserted a second sound output in the upper portion, while Samsung preferred to use the call speaker as a secondary channel.
The result of this set is good audio power in the duo, despite the Galaxy not having the same maximum volume on both speakers. Not to mention the high quality that both smartphones offer, thanks to the good balance between bass, mids and treble that they present.
Redmi is the only one to have a 3.5 mm connector, to plug in any standard headphones. But none of them come with an accessory in the package.
In details, we have one more point for the Note 12 Pro.

System
Redmi comes with Android 11 natively. Despite having already received version 12 of the “little robot”, it is still well behind the Galaxy, which comes out of the box with Android 13 and will receive four software updates and five years of security packages in the future.
Not to mention that the A34 is the only one of the pair to support 5G technology. With the Note 12 Pro, you won’t leave the limitations of the fourth generation mobile network. At least, fluidity is guaranteed, especially with the high rate of their panel.
Xiaomi has included well-known features, such as the floating menu for quick access to apps, gestures or functions for the power button and various customization options. On the other hand, Samsung stands out for its Always-on Display, the Edge Screen shortcuts and the grouping of widgets.
With greater longevity and a faster mobile network, the Korean company wins here.

Performance
The Note 12 Pro 4G is powered by the Snapdragon 732G, an old chip from Qualcomm, once morest MediaTek’s Dimensity 1080 in the A34. Both have 6 GB of RAM. What do we have in practice in terms of performance? The Korean managed to finish with more than a minute ahead of his Chinese rival. It was superior both when opening apps and when holding them in the background.
Moving on to the benchmarks, the scenario repeats itself, with a smooth victory for the Galaxy in all indicators. On AnTuTu, the Samsung model ended with a score around 31% higher than that of Redmi. The GPU of both does not border on perfection, but it can handle even the heaviest games in high definition.
The most efficient multitasking gives the point to the Galaxy.

Battery
As has increasingly become a market standard, here we find two cell phones equipped with a 5,000 mAh battery. But having the same capacity doesn’t mean equal autonomy, does it? In our standardized tests, the Redmi lasted longer and took an hour longer than its rival to download.
When we go to recharge, the situation is no different. The Note 12 Pro comes with a 67 W adapter in the package, which allows it to reach 100% in just 51 minutes. Very different from the A34, which takes practically two hours to complete the process, due to its less powerful accessory of just 15 W.
This is an easy point for Xiaomi.

Cmera
Xiaomi placed a photographic set with four cameras in its intermediary, led by a 108 MP main camera. On the other hand, Samsung preferred to include only three sensors, with a 48 MP primary. Do the paper specifications translate into practice?
Despite having a higher resolution, the Chinese does not fully exploit the hardware and ends up taking photos with less clarity than the Korean. At least the duo offers good HDR. At night, the Galaxy once once more stands out, as it doesn’t reduce details as much and has greater noise control.
Their ultrawide lenses are similar due to the same 8 megapixel resolution. It’s just that you’ll see superior dynamic range on the A34. Their macro suffers from the lack of autofocus, but the quality is also better in the Galaxy’s records. Finally, the Redmi’s blur camera does a good job, but it’s not that far above the software-only portrait mode delivered by Samsung.
It’s a point for the Korean on cameras.

These devices have a camcorder capable of recording 4K videos at 30 fps. The quality of both is pleasing during the day, but the A34 has the edge at night. This is also the only one that has optical image stabilization, to better deal with blur. Both still provide snappy focusing and good stereo sound capture.
Another point for Samsung.

Samsung expands the score.

Only Samsung officially launched its intermediary in Brazil. The Galaxy A34 became available in the country for a suggested price of R$2,600. In the current scenario, it has already dropped to the R$1,500 range, a little above the R$1,400 charged for the Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G in national retail, through importers.
In this way, Xiaomi takes the last point of this clash.
