The Note 12i sports an upgraded camera that features an f/1.6 sensor and 50MP resolution. high-quality f/1.6 aperture (replacing the 48MP f/1.8 camera on the 11i) which is in line with that of the Note 12 camera setup. The camera also comes with two MP of an additional camera as well as another QVGA model (function not known).
