The Infinix Note 12 series has arrived in India, and it brings two compelling budget smartphones — the standard Infinix Note 12 and the performance-focused Infinix Note 12 Turbo — both packing a 50MP primary camera at prices that start under ₹12,000.
Infinix Note 12 Series Price and Availability
Infinix launched the Note 12 series in India with clear tier-based pricing. The base Infinix Note 12 comes in two variants: 4GB RAM + 64GB storage at ₹11,999 and 6GB RAM + 128GB storage at ₹12,999. The Infinix Note 12 Turbo, with its upgraded chipset and 8GB RAM + 128GB storage configuration, is priced at ₹14,999.
Both phones went on sale via Flipkart — the Note 12 from May 27 and the Note 12 Turbo from May 28. As a launch offer, buyers using Axis Bank credit or debit cards can avail a flat ₹1,000 discount on either model.
Infinix Note 12 Specifications
The Infinix Note 12 is built around a large 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 1080 x 2400-pixel resolution and a 60Hz refresh rate — a rare screen type at this price point. Under the hood sits the MediaTek Helio G88 processor (Octa-core, 2 GHz dual-core + 1.8 GHz hexa-core), paired with up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of onboard storage.
On the imaging side, the phone features a triple rear camera setup: a 50MP primary sensor, a 2MP depth lens, and an AI lens, backed by quad-LED flash. Selfies are handled by a 16MP front camera. Keeping the lights on is a 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging support. The Note 12 ships with Android 11 out of the box.

Infinix Note 12 Turbo: What the Upgrade Buys You
The Infinix Note 12 Turbo shares the same 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED panel and 1080 x 2400-pixel resolution as the standard model, but the key upgrade is its chipset. The Turbo swaps the Helio G88 for the more capable MediaTek Helio G96, which delivers better CPU and GPU headroom for gaming and multitasking. RAM also jumps to a single 8GB configuration paired with 128GB storage.
The camera hardware is identical — a 50MP primary sensor, 2MP depth lens, AI lens, and a 16MP selfie shooter — as is the 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging. The notable software difference is that the Turbo launches on Android 12, giving it a more current software base. For ₹2,000 more than the top Note 12 variant, buyers get a faster processor and a newer OS.
Should You Buy the Infinix Note 12?
At under ₹13,000, the Infinix Note 12 is one of the few phones in its segment to offer an AMOLED display alongside a 50MP camera and a large 5,000mAh battery. The Helio G88 handles everyday tasks well, and the 33W fast charging means you spend less time tethered to a wall outlet. If you want a slight performance bump and Android 12, the Note 12 Turbo at ₹14,999 is a reasonable step up.
