More than two months ago, Chinese smartphone brand Xiaomi launched a total of three new smartphones in India – the Redmi 6, the Redmi 6A, and the Redmi 6 Pro. And now today, at an event in New Delhi, Xiaomi has launched one more smartphone in the country – the Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro was first launched in Thailand back in late September this year, and, it’s a successor to the Redmi Note 5 Pro that was launched in India back in February this year. The Redmi Note 6 Pro looks very similar to the Redmi Note 5 Pro, however, the Redmi Note 6 Pro comes with a notch which isn’t present on its predecessor.
That said, the hardware under the hood on Redmi Note 6 Pro is also similar to that of the Redmi Note 5 Pro. Like the Redmi Note 5 Pro, the Redmi Note 6 Pro is also powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 636 SoC. The smartphone comes with up to 6 GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 64 GB of storage on-board. However, you can further expand the storage via microSD card if you want.
On the software front, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro boots up to MIUI 10 which is based on Android Oreo. That said, for photography, the Redmi Note 6 Pro comes with quad cameras – two each on the front and back. For those unaware, the Redmi Note 6 Pro is also the first Xiaomi smartphone come with quad cameras.
The dual camera setup at the back consists of one 12 MP and one 5 MP camera, whereas, the dual camera setup on the front includes one 20 MP and one 2 MP camera. The smartphone also comes with some AI-based camera features like AI Portrait Mode and AI Scene Detection.
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro also has a fingerprint scanner at the back for additional security, and, it packs in a huge 4000 mAh battery that keeps the entire package up and running. The smartphone also flaunts a 6.26-inch display that has aspect ratio of 19:9 and a resolution of 2280 x 1080 pixels.
