Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
4.0/5
Verdict
If you`ve been following the review till now, it`s evident that Xiaomi`s Redmi Note 6 Pro is a solid smartphone with no real shortcoming as such. Even if you consider it an iterative upgrade, you just get a better package for the same asking price of Rs 13,999 (the higher-end 6GB RAM variant will set you back by Rs 15,999). My contention isn`t whether the handset is good or not, but the fact that buying a Xiaomi phone isn`t an eyes-closed decision anymore. While earlier, the offerings from the Apple of China were easily the best recommendations across segments, that no longer seems to be true....

While earlier, the offerings from the Apple of China were easily the best recommendations across segments, that no longer seems to be true. Let`s take a look at the competition for the Redmi Note 6 Pro closely:
Pros
- Gorgeous display and splash-resistant body
- Capable cameras, both at the rear as well as front
- Reliable performance
- Great battery life
Cons
- Ships with a micro-USB port
- Doesn`t come bundled with a fast charger
- The default camera app doesn`t record 4k videos

Design and display: if the Note 5 Pro and Redmi 6 Pro had a baby...
+
Xiaomi's Redmi Note series isn't known for its design language, and the Note 6 Pro doesn't try to change that fact either. The Note 5 duo joined the bezel-less bandwagon, and its successor goes a step further (if you consider a higher screen-to-body ratio, and not from the uniform design standpoint) by opting for a notch display.

Cameras: the awesome foursome
+
If I had to name one USP of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro, it's probably the dual-camera setups on the rear as well as the front – making it the first phone from the brand's stables to flaunt four shooters. However, in terms of the specs, there isn't much of a difference from the Redmi Note 5 Pro. At the back, you get 12-megapixel snapper paired with a 5MP depth-sensing unit. Look beyond resolution though, and you'll notice that the primary camera now has a bigger pixel size of 1.4µm (vs 1.25µm) and wider aperture of f/1.9 (vs f/2.2). For selfies, the handset sports a 20MP sensor along with a 2MP camera. Both pair of shooters offer the portrait mode. To lock the focus quickly on the subject, the device also comes with dual-pixel autofocus technology, which works quite well.

Hardware and software: runs like a well-oiled machine
+
If you were wondering how exactly the Note 6 Pro is similar to its previous iteration, then this section is what you're looking for. Under the hood, the 6th-gen Note handset is fuelled by the Snapdragon 636 chipset, which is paired with either 4GB or 6GB of RAM. The combination has proved to be quite solid ever since the Redmi Note 5 Pro became the first phone in the subcontinent to come with the SD636 chip (in February this year). Sadly however, a lot seems to have changed in this duration. Not only can you find more powerful SoCs in this segment now, but mobile gaming has found new legs in the form of PUBG. So it's certainly odd to see that the device can only play the game in low graphics settings, considering we've seen the SD636 being able to run it in medium settings on other phones. If you want to know how good the performance in real-life is, then it's worth noting that it's extremely smooth. You'll rarely come across any lag, and multitasking is swift as well.
