Redmi 6 Pro Review

Now days, most of companies focused on budget smartphones. Keeping in mind, Xiaomi launched Redmi Series 6. Redmi 6 Pro is latest phone of this series which is considered as most powerful in processing. It has powerful SoC processor like flagship smartphones. Now let’s see how Redmi 6 Pro performs.

Design:

 It was expected the better change in this phone due to premium of this series. But overall design of this phone is much differs than its predecessor. Which Xiaomi gives as usual in this price range. At first glance, it looks thick but can be manageable in hand. On the left side dedicated SIM tray is available, you can use 2 SIM cards and micro SD card at same time. Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro doesn’t support dual 4G VOLTE which means you can use only 4G SIM.

On the bottom side, charging port and speakers are placed. Headphone jack is placed at the top of the phone along with IR emitter which worked as remote sensor. Moving towards backside, dual camera set-up placed vertically which looks impressive. Fingerprint sensor is also placed backside on phone which is very responsive.

Display:

 The main attraction of Redmi 6 Pro is its 5.84” full HD+ display. Display has a layer of touched glass but specifications of this layer didn’t revealed. Notch covered more area than expected, which looks very massive. Border around the panel is thick and on bottom chin is also thicker. This design is least attractive from all smartphones with notch. LED notification light embeds in chin which doesn’t look great.

Processor & Operating System:

 Redmi 6 Pro powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 SoC processor. Which is not latest but sufficient to complete normal tasks. Due to old processor this phone doesn’t perform well in gaming. I tried to play PUBG on this smartphone, but PUBG run at low graphics and also not running smoothly. For normal usage it works very well. Simple games run smoothly without any lag. Instead of 4GB RAM bigger games like Asphalt and PUBG run at medium to low qualities. This phone runs on MIUI 9.6 which is based upon android 8.1. You can update this into MIUI10.

Camera:

 The rear camera of this phone is 12MP has f/2.2 aperture with PDAF mode along with 5MP depth sensor. Auto focus & Auto HDR doing good job by balancing the quality of pictures in good light. Main sensor works very well to resolve minor aspects. It saved HDR images little slower. Auto focus also takes long time in low light conditions. Blur effect also not worked properly at night.

This phone has 5MP selfie camera which click good quality images in day light but in low light conditions quality of pictures get lowered. The reason behind this low quality is the absence of LED flash on front. It has moderate video quality. You can record video at its maximum resolution i.e 1080 pixels. Overall quality of camera is good as compared to price range. But it can be improved.

Battery:

 Redmi 6 Pro comes with massive 4000mAh battery which is best positive point of this phone. You can charge this battery from 0 to 100% with 10W charger in 2 hours 30 minutes approximately. The phone doesn’t support fast charging. It consumes 7 to 8% battery while playing PUBG for 30 minutes which is good enough.

Price & Storage:

 Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro is available in 3GB/4GB of RAM with 32GB/64GB of storage variants. The price of 3GB RAM & 32GB storage is Rs. 8999/- and you have to pay Rs. 10999/- for 4GB RAM & 4GB storage.

Conclusion:

 Xiaomi doesn’t give difference in Redmi 6 Pro as compared to Redmi Note 5. Redmi Y2 also available in market in Rs.1000 less than this phone with high quality front camera. I recommend you to buy Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 in this price range which is better than this phone.
