Xiaomi Redmi 6 Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Shekhar Thakran]()
Verdict
The Xiaomi Redmi 6 brings along some interesting features like a dual camera setup, an 18:9 HD+ display, and an impressive battery backup for a starting price of Rs 7,999. If we compare the handset with its direct rival, the Realme 2 (review), which is price Rs 1,000 higher, you get a better design and battery backup with the latter. Considering that the Realme 2 comes with a notch design, which is increasingly finding favour among prospective buyers, and thin bezels around the display, it might win over some users from Xiaomi. It would be interesting to see if Xiaomi brings a radical design ...

Pros

- Fast and reliable face unlock feature
Cons
- Design is boring
- Low-light performance is average
Design and display
+
Even as almost every other brand is now trying to incorporate glass sandwich designs on their smartphones, Xiaomi wants to stick to the basics. The Redmi 6 comes with the same design language as most other handsets in the affordable price segment by the company. A majority of the handset's body has been made out of plastic and unfortunately, the phone does not feel premium in the hand or from a distance. On the positive side, the dual camera setup at the back does not protrude much from the phone's body and is placed on the top left side. The fingerprint sensor is placed slightly below the camera module, towards the centre. We can assure you that you will face no discomfort in reaching the fingerprint sensor with your index finger, even when using the phone with a single hand.

As mentioned earlier, the Redmi 6 comes with a rear-facing dual camera setup that consists of a primary 12MP sensor and a 5MP secondary sensor, assisted by an LED flash module. In our time with the smartphone, we found that the Redmi 6 managed to take decent shots, though the phone was largely dependent on lighting conditions to produce good results.

Xiaomi Redmi 6 runs Android 8.1 Oreo-based MIUI 9.6 out of the box. If you are familiar with the company's mobile software interface, you would find yourself just at home with the new handset. There are utility tools and some pre-installed apps but the platform comes across fairly clutter-free and without much bloatware.

We are usually impressed by the battery backup offered by the Xiaomi smartphones in general and the Redmi 6 continues this positive trend. Despite packing a not-so-massive 3,000mAh battery, the handset managed to last around 16 hours in our HD video loop test. However, it took us around three hours to charge the phone from zero to 100 percent.
