Redmi 12C India launch seems to be imminent. The reason behind it is that it has been approved by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). At the same time, the device has also been certified by the TDRA authority.
Several reports have claimed that the Redmi 12C will launch in Europe this month. Now that it has been spotted at the BIS, it appears that it may go official as early as this month in India. The Redmi 12C offers key features, such as an HD+ display, a big battery, and a mid-range gaming processor.
