According to Specifications - Pro, the Redmi Note 12 SE will use an IPS LCD panel, 6.5 inches in size, and with Full HD+ resolution. Personally, I find these specs quite similar to the Redmi Note 11 SE version, so we'll have a wide screen, authentic display, and high sharpness.

Both have the same screen size, resolution, and panel type, but the Redmi Note 11 SE only has a 90 Hz refresh rate.
