Xiaomi Redmi 6A Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
4.0/5
Verdict
The Xiaomi Redmi 6A brings a host of improvements which make it a solid upgrade over its predecessor. For its asking price of Rs 5,999 for the 16GB storage model, the handset offers solid performance, good battery life, and a stylish design. You can go for the higher-end model as well, though that only offers twice the storage without increasing the RAM capacity, unlike earlier. In terms of the competition, the Redmi 6A seems to have a clear advantage against the likes of the Infinix Smart 2 (first impressions) and 10.or D2 (first impressions). Now, Xiaomi has numerous smartphones priced und...

The Xiaomi Redmi 6A brings a host of improvements which make it a solid upgrade over its predecessor.

You can go for the higher-end model as well, though that only offers twice the storage without increasing the RAM capacity, unlike earlier. In terms of the competition, the Redmi 6A seems to have a clear advantage against the likes of the Infinix Smart 2 (first impressions) and 10.or D2 (first impressions). Now, Xiaomi has numerous smartphones priced under Rs 10K and for every Rs 1,000 increment in your budget, you can get a slightly better smartphone than the Redmi 6A. All said and done, if you don`t have a flexible budget and have your sights set on the smartphone, then the Redmi 6A will not disappoint you.
Pros
- Stylish, ergonomic design
- Decent performer
- Good battery life
Cons
- Selfie camera could`ve been better
- Both variants only come with 2GB RAM
Design and display

Design-wise, Xiaomi seemingly went back to the drawing board as the Redmi 6A looks drastically different from its predecessor, the 5A. The handset now features more prominent curves towards the back, which don't just enhance the smartphone's overall looks but also pave way for excellent one-handed usage too. During my testing, I noticed that the smartphone nestled comfortably in my palms and owing to the presence of chamfered edges and rounded corners, the phone didn't bite even when I gripped it tightly.

The Xiaomi Redmi 6A draws parallels to its predecessor in the camera department. Similar to last year's model, the Redmi 6A also features solitary 13MP and 5MP shooters on the back and the front respectively. Consequently, you'll be hard-pressed to tell if an image has been shot from the Redmi 5A or the Redmi 6A, just by looking at it with the naked eye.

Xiaomi has done more than just give the Redmi 6A a cosmetic overhaul, mind you. Underneath the smartphone's plastic chassis, you'll now get a brand-new, entry-level, 12nm processor from MediaTek, dubbed the Helio A22 chip. The processor features four physical cores which can turbo up to 2GHz and the company claims that the chip is almost 37 percent faster and 48 percent more battery-efficient than the Snapdragon 425 processor powering last year's Redmi 5A. My review unit of the smartphone shipped with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of built-in, user-expandable storage, but buyers can also pick the device in a 2GB / 32GB configuration as well.
