Chinese Manufacturer Infinix has introduced another variant to its Note 12 series called Infinix Note 12 (G96). It is named after the Helio G96, a 12nm chipset (2x A76, 6x A55, Mali-G57 MC4). This same chip also powers the Note 12 VIP, but the VIP has better cooling with 9 layers of graphene plus a vapor chamber, while the Note 12 (G96) has 10 layers of graphene and no chamber. Either way, the G96 will outperform the Helio G88 that is inside the regular Note 12.
Apart from the chipsets, the Note 12 (G96) sticks close to the specifications of the original Note 12. This means that the 6.7” FHD+ AMOLED display lacks a high refresh rate and 10-bit support.
Also, the camera on the rear has a 50MP main sensor (1/2.8”) and a 2MP helper (no ultra wide). Compared to the VIP, the battery is slightly larger at 5,000mAh, but slower to charge (33W).
The two new Note 12 models have 16MP selfie cameras and XOS 10.6 software (based on Android 12). Also, both have 8GB of real RAM and can enable 5GB of virtual RAM. And while both have dual speakers with DTS, only the VIP has dual X-axis linear motors for superior haptic feedback.
