Xiaomi has officially launched the Redmi Note 6 Pro in Thailand and it could bring the smartphone to India anytime soon. The Note 6 Pro is the first smartphone under Redmi Note series to sport a notch and dual selfie cameras. Before you jump into the confusion, the Note 6 Pro is the same Redmi Note 5 Pro with minor design changes, notched display and dual selfie cameras. Internally, it has the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 chipset, 4GB of RAM, dual rear cameras and a 4000mAh battery. On the whole, it’s an incremental upgrade over the Note 5 Pro, which is the best-selling smartphone in India since its release back in February 2018.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro is Now Official: Specifications and Features
The immediate change you’ll notice with the Redmi Note 6 Pro is the notched display on the front. The phone has a 6.26-inch Full HD+ display on the front, coupled with 2.5D curved glass on top and it has an aspect ratio of 19:9. Xiaomi states the phone offers 86% screen-to-body ratio, marginally higher than the Redmi Note 5 Pro. At the heart of the phone, we get the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 chipset, paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. Notably, Xiaomi has launched only one variant of the Note 6 Pro in Thailand, but in other countries, we might see other variants with higher RAM and internal storage. Users can also expand the storage with a microSD card slot. Based on rumours, the Note 6 Pro will be available in a 3GB+32GB storage option.
Moving onto the optics, the Redmi Note 6 Pro boasts dual camera setup on the rear side- a 12MP primary sensor coupled with a 5MP secondary sensor. The phone has Dual Pixel autofocus, 1.4um pixels and AI portrait mode 2.0 features. To the front, the Note 6 Pro has a 20MP shooter and for the first time, a Redmi Note smartphone has a secondary sensor on the front side. The primary 20MP shooter on the front comes paired with a secondary 2MP depth sensor to provide realistic bokeh effect in the image.
