Ahead of the launch of the Xiaomi Redmi 6 on June 12 in China, company Co-Founder and President Lin Bin has shared a poster of the device revealing its frontal design. It is speculated that the company might also launch several other Redmi 6 series of devices at the event, including the rumoured Redmi 6A and the Redmi 6 Plus or Pro. The company confirmed the launch of Redmi 6 via a post on Chinese microblogging platform Weibo. However, it is still not clear whether the company will unveil the other speculated phones.
Earlier, several reports had claimed that the devices, which could be the Redmi 6 Plus or Pro, will come with a notch. However, the poster shows a Redmi 6 device without a notch and a display with thick bezels from all sides. The poster also confirms that the Redmi 6 will sport a single front-facing camera alongside an LED flash. The volume keys and power button are seen on the right side of the device. The leaked specs of the Redmi 6 tipped at a 5.84-inch Full HD+ display with a taller 19:9 display aspect ratio.
