Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi launched its latest Redmi 6 Pro in China on Sunday. Redmi is Xiaomi’s best selling range of affordable smartphones and sells like hot cakes in India, owing to the specifications Xiaomi offers with a price tag most makers fail to catch up to.
Not much is known about the Indian variant of the Redmi 6 Pro but as far as the specifications are concerned, the new Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro will have a 5.84-inch 19:9 FHD (full HD) display with a notch (of course).
It will have an Octa-Core Snapdragon 625 processor with RAM options of 3GB and 4GB. For graphics the phone will come with an Adreno 506 GPU. There are 32GB and 64GB in-built storage variants of the Redmi 6 Pro, expandable via microSD card (up to 256GB) with a dedicated slot.
The handset comes with a dual camera setup at the back, with a 12-megapixel primary sensor and a 5-megapixel secondary sensor. The front camera on the Redmi 6 Pro will be a 5 megapixel HDR camera with AI support.
The Redmi 6 pro will be launched as a budget smartphone.
The cheaper version will not be equipped with finger print sensor which is quite unusual as these days, the fingerprint sensor is one of the most important security features across phones in every range.
The phone was launched in China at CNY 1,199 (for the 4GB/64GB variant) and CNY 999 (for the 3GB/32GB variant). We are expecting it to launch somewhere around the Rs 10,000 figure in India.
