Xiaomi previously launched its Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A smartphones and now, the company has revealed the Redmi 6 Pro variant as well. The new device was announced at an event in China and as rumoured, it features a notch on top of its display, making it the first Redmi smartphone to do so. The Redmi 6 Pro is similar to the Redmi Note 5 Pro when it comes to looks and design. The rear panel is near identical with a vertically stacked dual rear camera setup, a fingerprint reader and the Mi logo on the lower back.
The Redmi 6 Pro features a 5.84-inch display with 2280x1080p resolution and a 19:9 display aspect ratio. It is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 625 SoC and is backed by a 4000mAh battery, which still uses a micro-USB port for charging instead of a USB Type-C port. The smartphone comes in a base variant of 3GB RAM/32GB storage, which is priced at CNY 999 (Rs 10,400 approx). There is also a 4GB RAM model with options of 32GB and 64GB of onboard storage, priced at CNY 1,199 (Rs 12,500 approx) and CNY 1,299 (Rs 13,600 approx) respectively. There’s no information on the smartphone’s India pricing and launch details.
The Redmi 6 Pro is equipped with a dual rear camera setup, where one is a 12MP primary sensor with a f/2.2 aperture and 1.25-micron pixels. It also supports PDAF and comes with an LED flash. On the front is a 5MP secondary sensor that can capture images in an ‘AI’ Portrait mode and HDR. The handset supports face unlock and retains a 3.5mm headphone jack. It comes in Black, Blue, Gold, Pink, and Red colour variants.
