Xiaomi has been updating its devices to MIUI 12 left, right, and centre worldwide. The company is almost done with the rollout in its home country China. Hence, it is now focussing on delivery updates to global markets like India. The latest handset in this country to receive the update is Redmi 6 Pro.

For those unaware, Redmi 6 Pro already got MIUI 12 update in China earlier this month alongside Redmi S2, which is also known as Redmi Y2. There are only two variants of Redmi 6 Pro – China and India. Hene, the company has begun to seed the update to the latter model.

Currently, the update is being only rolled out to certain users. If those who received the update don’t face any issues, it will be pushed to more users, followed by everyone.

That said, the build number of MIUI 12 update for Redmi 6 Pro in India is V12.0.2.0.PDMMIXM. It is worth noting that the build may change if there’s a stability issue with this one. Anyway, as of writing this, Xiaomi is seeding the above-mentioned build.

Currently, MIUI 12 is only available for certain handsets in India such as Redmi K20 Pro, Redmi K20, Redmi Note 8 Pro,  Mi 10, and POCO X2, and POCO F1.

Xiaomi has been rolling out MIUI 12 stable updates to its huge portfolio of eligible devices worldwide. As most of the high-end and mid-range smartphones have received it, the company has now turned toward budget handsets. Currently, the Remi S2 and Redmi 6 Pro from 2018 have begun to get the update in China.

Both the Redmi S2 and Redmi 6 Pro launched with MIUI 9 based on Android Oreo out of the box. They were later updated to MIUI 10, followed by Android Pie and  MIUI 11. Now, they have also started to receive MIUI 12, however, only in China for now.

The MIUI 12 stable update for Redmi S2 and Redmi 6 Pro comes with build number V12.0.4.0.PEFCNXM and V12.0.1.0.PDICNXM respectively. However, it does not bring all the features like AOD+ as these phones sport LCD panels.

But it does bring all the major new features like new animations, icons, control center, revamped settings, granular privacy controls, floating windows, Dark Mode 2.0, and more.

That said, we can now expect the global variants of these handsets to get the update very soon. For those unaware, Redmi S2 is also known as Redmi Y2 (India) while Redmi 6 Pro was also available as Mi A2 Lite in certain regions but that device won’t get MIUI 12 update as it is part of Android One program.

Xiaomi is rolling out a stable Android Pie update to two of its phones. The Redmi 6 Pro and Redmi Note 5 Pro are the two devices getting a slice of pie now. Back in January, Xiaomi began recruiting beta testers for both phones. It is now done with the beta stage and has begun pushing out a stable update.

The update is already rolling out to users in India. It arrives as MIUI 10.3.2.0.PDMMIXM for the Redmi 6 Pro and comes with May’s security patch. The update also brings support for using face unlock for app lock. There is also Dual VoLTE support and Dark Mode bundled with the update along with lots of bug fixes.

The Redmi Note 5 Pro also gets May’s security patch and the update is also 1.6GB in size like that of the Redmi 6 Pro.

Both the Redmi 6 Pro and Redmi Note 5 Pro were launched last year. The former is known as the Mi A2 Lite in other markets and already got updated to Android Pie back in November. While the Redmi 6 ran Android Oreo out of the box, the Redmi Note 5 Pro launched with Android Nougat. Both have now received an update to Android Pie. There is a high chance this will be the last major OS update for the Redmi Note 5 Pro. However, it should still get MIUI updates.

Last month, we saw variants of the Redmi Note 5/Redmi Note 5 Pro running Android Pie on Geekbench. Xiaomi has now confirmed that it is indeed bringing Android Pie to the phone and some other models too.

According to a post on the official MIUI forum, Xiaomi is recruiting beta testers for Android Pie for the Redmi Note 5, Mi 6X,  Redmi S2, and Redmi 6 Pro. Apart from the Redmi Note 5, the other three phones launched with Android Oreo out of the box, so they should at least get one major OS upgrade. The Redmi Note 5 launched with Android 7.1.2 Nougat out of the box and already got an update to Android Oreo, so the fact that it is getting Android Pie is a big deal.

The above models are the Chinese models but the Android Pie update should eventually roll out to the Redmi S2 which is known as the Redmi Y2 in India and the Redmi Note 5 which is sold as the Redmi Note 5 Pro. The Mi 6X and the Redmi 6 Pro already run Android Pie outside China since they are the Android One phones the Mi A2 and Mi A2 Lite respectively.

The company has already teased a few features of the upcoming phones, including a notched display, powerful and efficient processor, large battery and face unlock. Xiaomi has also teased Dual 4G VoLTE feature, which should work on Redmi 6 and 6A smartphones powered by the latest MediaTek chipset.

The three devices getting launched tomorrow include Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro, Redmi 6, and Redmi 6A. The Redmi 6 Pro has been launched globally as the Mi A2 Lite. It has a 5.84-inch Full HD notched display with 1080 x 2280 pixels screen resolution and is powered by Snapdragon 625 processor with up to 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.

The Xiaomi Redmi 6 series of smartphones that includes Redmi 6A, Redmi 6 and Redmi 6 Pro will be announced in India on Sept. 5. A reliable Indian leakster has shared information on the storage and RAM models of Redmi 6 series along with their color variants.

The Redmi 6A entry-level smartphone which is the packed with lowest specs compared to the Redmi 6 and Redmi 6 Pro is expected to arrive in 16 GB storage + 3 GB RAM and 32 GB storage + 3 GB RAM models.

The Redmi 6 will be coming with slightly better specs than the Redmi 6A phone. It is rumored to come in models like 32 GB storage + 3 GB RAM and 64 GB storage + 3 GB RAM. The Redmi 6A and Redmi 6 smartphones are likely to hit the Indian markets in colors like Black, Blue, Gold and Rose Gold.

The Redmi 6 Pro is an advanced smartphone compared to other phones in the Redmi 6 series. Its storage and RAM models are 32 GB storage + 3 GB RAM and 64 GB storage + 4 GB RAM. The Redmi 6 Pro may launch in India in color hues such as Black, Blue, Gold and Red. As far as pricing of the Redmi 6 series is concerned, the tipster claims that it will be similar to its Chinese pricing.

Xiaomi has recently launched Mi A2 and Mi A2 Lite Android One smartphones. The Mi A2 is selling with a starting price of Rs. 16,999 (~$239), but the Mi A2 Lite has not arrived in India yet. The Mi A2 Lite is the very same Redmi 6 Pro smartphone that lacks the MIUI skin. At the launch of Mi A2 and Mi A2 Lite, India was not listed among the markets that will be receiving the Mi A2 Lite phone. So, it is very likely that India will be receiving Redmi 6 Pro instead of Mi A2 Lite.

Hence, it appears the Redmi 6A, Redmi 6 and Redmi Pro may arrive in India with respective starting price of ~Rs. 5,999, ~Rs. 7,999 and ~Rs. 9,999.

The Redmi 6 series launched in China back in June but come next month, they will be heading to India.

The Redmi 6 series includes the Redmi 6A, the Redmi 6, and the Redmi 6 Pro. All three phones are set for a September 5 launch based on the invite sent out. Xiaomi has already sent out invites for the launch.

Redmi 6A

The Redmi 6A is the least powerful of all three. It has a 5.45” HD+ display with an 18:9 aspect ratio. It is powered by MediaTek’s Helio A22 processor, a 12nm quad-core chipset clocked at 2.0GHz. The chipset is paired with 2GB/3GB/4GB of RAM and 16GB/32GB/64GB of expandable storage.

The Redmi 6A has a single 13MP sensor on the back and a 5MP front-facing camera. It doesn’t have a fingerprint scanner and also lacks an IR blaster but has a 3.5mm audio jack. There is a 3,000mAh battery under the hood that charges via a MicroUSB port.

Redmi 6

The Redmi 6 has the same screen as the 6A but swaps the Helio A22 for the 12nm Helio P22 – a 2.0GHz octa-core chipset with a PowerVR GPU. It has 3GB or 4GB of RAM and 32GB/64GB of storage.

There are 12MP + 5MP dual cameras on the back and a 5MP selfie camera above the display. It has a fingerprint scanner and audio jack but also lacks an IR blaster. Its battery capacity is also 3,000mAh and like the Redmi 6A, it runs Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box.

Redmi 6 Pro

The Redmi 6 Pro launched globally as the Mi A2 Lite but it isn’t sold in India which explains why it is heading there. It has a 5.84” 1080 x 2280 display with a notch at the top.

It is powered by the Snapdragon 625 processor with up to 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. There are dual 12MP + 5MP sensors on the back of the phone and a 5MP front-facing camera that resides within the notch. It has a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, an IR blaster, and a 4,000mAh battery.

In the previous month, the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) had certified several existing and unannounced smartphones from Xiaomi. The smartphones approved by EEC are expected to debut in Europe in future. Few more Xiaomi handsets were also certified yesterday by the EEC.

Smartphones such as Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite, Mi 8, Mi 8 Explorer Edition, Mi 8 SE, Mi 8 Pro, Redmi 6, Redmi 6 Pro, Redmi 6A, Redmi 6S and Redmi 6X were certified by the EEC yesterday. As it can be seen, some of these smartphones have already launched in China, but Mi A2 Lite, Mi 8 Pro, Redmi 6S and 6X are yet to go official. EEC certificate was issued to these smartphones on June 14, 2018 and it is valid until January 2027.

The Mi A2 Lite with a model number of M1805D15SG was spotted at the Singapore’s Communications Authority in the previous month. Apart from this, there is no other information available on this smartphone.

Among the recently introduced Redmi 6 series, the Redmi 6 Pro features a notched 19:9 display whereas the Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A phones have notch-less 18:9 display. Since the Redmi 6 and 6X are not “Pro” models, there is a possibility that they arrive with full screen design like the Redmi 6 and 6A smartphones.

The Mi 8 Pro was not announced at the launch event of Mi 8, Mi 8 Explorer Edition and Mi 8 SE that was held at the end of May. There is a possibility that the Mi 8 Pro could be nothing but the highest storage variant of the Mi 8 that features 256 GB of storage.

Apart from the aforementioned devices, smartphones like Mi 7 Lite, Mi Mix 2s, Mi Mix 3S, Mi S1, Mi S2, Mi S3, Redmi S1, Redmi S3, Redmi A1, Redmi A2, Redmi Note 6, Redmi Note 6A, Redmi Note 6A Prime, Redmi Note 6 Prime, Redmi 6 Plus, and Redmi 6A Plus were also approved by EEC in May. Xiaomi made its foray into the Eastern Europe earlier this year including its launch in Russia and it is also working on expanding its business in Western Europe. Hence, it appears that all the Xiaomi phones that have been approved by EEC recently may soon begin launching in Europe.

Xiaomi is supposed to launch the Redmi 6 Pro tomorrow but the device is already live on the official website complete with specs and price.

Design

The first thing that catches your eye is the notch – the Redmi 6 Pro is the first Redmi phone to have one. Will it be the last? Your guess is as good as mine.

Even with the notch, Xiaomi’s latest mid-range offering still has a sizeable bezel at the bottom of the screen. It is large enough for capacitive buttons or even a front-mounted fingerprint scanner. But with MIUI 10 and Android in general moving to gesture-based navigation, and in-display fingerprint scanners or rear-mounted ones being the trend, the bezel has no use. There is even still a bit of bezel at the top.

The back has a design, which we all agree, Xiaomi has overused just like the Snapdragon 625 SoC present in the phone. There is a dual camera system arranged just like the iPhone X and a fingerprint scanner in the middle. Nevertheless, the design isn’t bad. It actually does look nice. The only problem is we are tired of seeing the same thing over and over again.

Redmi 6 Pro Specs

The Redmi 6 Pro has a 5.84-inch Full HD+ display with a 19:9 aspect ratio. It is powered by a Snapdragon 625 processor with 3GB/4GB of RAM and 32GB/64GB of storage.

There are dual rear cameras on the rear – a 12MP f/2.2 1.25um sensor and a 5MP secondary sensor for capturing depth of field details. Xiaomi says the camera app has an AI portrait mode, bokeh mode, night-scene enhancement, EIS, and HDR. It can record 1080p, 720p and 4800p videos at 30fps and also records 720p slow-motion videos at 120fps.

The front camera is a 5MP sensor with AI portrait mode, AI beauty mode, HDR, and support for AI face unlock.

The Redmi 6 Pro has a triple card slot which lets you use two nano SIM cards and a microSD card (256GB max) all at once. There is a 4000mAh battery powering the device with support for 5V/2A charging. For connectivity, the phone has a micro USB port, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2, and a 3.5mm audio jack. It also has an infrared sensor unlike the Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A.

The Redmi 6 Pro, like the Redmi S2, has dual rear cameras in a 12MP 1.25um pixel sensor + 5MP sensor configuration. It also has AI baked into some features such as AI beauty mode and AI portrait mode.

The pictures are not bad but they are not the best we have seen. Nevertheless, you should be able to take some pretty decent pictures under great lighting conditions.

The Redmi 6 Pro will be the first Redmi phone to come with a notch. If you don’t like it, Xiaomi says you will be able to hide it with a simple toggle. Its display is 5.84-inches and has a 2280 x 1080 resolution. It is powered by the Snapdragon 625 processor paired with 2GB, 3GB, or 4GB of RAM and 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB of storage respectively.

Xiaomi chose not to announce the Redmi 6 Pro alongside the recently unveiled Redmi 6 and 6A smartphones.

The Redmi 6 Pro appears to be sporting a slim profile. Its TENAA listing has revealed that it measures 149.33 x 71.68 x 7.5mm. The front is mainly occupied with a display that offers a bigger screen space thanks to the notched design. The chin of the device is a bit thick. For people who hate the notch, Xiaomi has confirmed that it will be providing a feature on the Redmi 6 Pro that will allow its users to disable the notch.

Xiaomi will launch the Redmi 6 Pro on June 25 but there is nothing we already do not know about the phone. Notwithstanding, a new official teaser poster has been released which reveals a feature a lot of folks will find useful.

Based on comments from our other Redmi 6 Pro articles, we know there are people who dislike the notch at the top of the Redmi 6 Pro’s screen. If you belong to that group, Xiaomi has revealed that you will be able to hide the notch based on the teaser poster below.

Most Android manufacturers that have released a phone with a notch have this feature. However, some like the Nokia X6 only got it after an update. So it is nice to see the Redmi 6 Pro will have it right out of the box.

Apart from the teaser above, we have also gotten our hands on more live photos of the device, though this time around they are unboxing photos authorized by the official Redmi Weibo account.

These photos show us that the Redmi 6 Pro will come in a red box just like other Redmi phones. It will also come with a clear TPU case, a travel adapter, and a USB cable. The phone is the rose gold variant and it has a metal back plate with what appears to be plastic at the top and bottom where the antennas reside.
