Although Xiaomi sells expensive smartphones, the company’s cheaper handsets are popular worldwide. In fact, in India. Xiaomi is known as Redmi among commoners, thanks to value for money phones like Redmi A series, Redmi number series, and Redmi Note series. The latter series has now achieved a huge milestone, as per Xiaomi.

Yesterday, ahead of the Mi 11 global launch event, Xiaomi India announced a brag-worthy achievement on its various social media handles.

The Chinese smartphone maker revealed that it has shipped over 200 million units of Redmi Note series phones globally to date. This data is sourced from the firm’s own ‘Xiaomi Data Center’.

It is not surprising to learn that the global shipments of the Redmi Note series have exceeded 200 million units since its inception. This series has been the heart of Xiaomi’s product lineup ever since it was introduced.

Redmi Notes have been unbeatable in their price segment for a very long time. However, that began to change when realme entered the scene. But being an established product lineup, they are still as popular as they were before.

That said, Xiaomi is known for announcing its milestones ahead of releasing new devices. Hence, we think the Redmi Note 10 series is just around the corner. The upcoming series is reported to include two models, namely Redmi Note 10 and Redmi Note 10 Pro. As of now, we are only aware of the storage configurations and color variants of these handsets.

Redmi Note 6 Pro is probably the least popular Redmi Note smartphone of all time. The handset was only sold in a few regions. The device debuted with MIUI 9 based on Android 8.1 (Oreo). It was later updated to MIUI 10, Android 9.0 (Pie), and MIUI 11. Now, the phone has begun to receive the MIUI 12 update.

Unlike most Xiaomi smartphones, the Redmi Note 6 Pro only has two build channels – Global and Russia. The latter has not received any update since early 2019. In other words, the variant sold in Russia is still on MIUI 10 based on Android Oreo.

Anyway, the global variant is receiving the MIUI 12 update with build number V12.0.1.0.PEKMIXM. It is currently in the Stable Beta phase and therefore, it is only available for select users.

Xiaomi will be extending the availability of this build to more users if early adopters don’t face any major issues. We expect the complete rollout to end by this month or early February.

That said, MIUI 12 is the last major update for the Redmi Note 6 Pro just like Redmi Note 5/5 Pro, which has also started receiving this update recently. But there’s a chance that these two phones may get the minor MIUI 12.5 update later this year.

As far as the Android version is concerned, both are not eligible for Android 10, let alone Android 11. However, interested users can install custom ROMs to experience the latest version of Android.

Xiaomi‘s smartphone is again caught up in a messy controversy. This time, it is the Redmi Note 6 Pro which was reported to have exploded at a service center in India. The video of the incident was published by 91Mobiles on its Facebook page. From the video, we could grab that the device was apparently brought in for repairs by the owner. While the repairman was trying to open up the smartphone, it suddenly went up flames.

We can’t verify if the service centre located at Gujarat is a Xiaomi certified service centre but the report carried by regional publication Khabar Gujarat, states that Kishan – a technician at Dhriti Mobiles – was repairing the Redmi Note 6 Pro when smoke started coming out of the handset’s back panel. The unit then caught fire, and the technician had to throw it off the counter to prevent the fire from engulfing other flammable items around. Thankfully, no one was hurt by the incident but the Redmi Note 6 Pro was completely damaged. We doubt if the device is covered by any warranty since the Note 6 Pro was released in 2018 as a successor to the Redmi Note 5. However, we expect Xiaomi to investigate the cause of the fire incident.

This latest Redmi Note 6 Pro fire incident once again calls to question the safety of Xiaomi phones. This isn’t the first time we are getting such a report and we doubt if it will be the last. A Xiaomi Mi 5 unit was reported to have exploded in 2016.  The Mi Max and Mi 4c were also rocked with a reported case of explosion each that same year. A Mi 4 unit also emerged to have exploded while charging in a classroom in China. In 2018, Xiaomi’s first phone rocking stock Android – the Mi A1 plugged to a power source reportedly exploded near the owner while he slept. And very recently, a month-old Redmi Note 7S unit went up in flames but interestingly, Xiaomi refused to accept liability even though the phone was still under warranty.

As at the time of filing this report, there has been no response from Xiaomi. We’ll keep you updated if Xiaomi responds. Meanwhile, you can check out the video of the incident from the source link below.

Xiaomi has pushed the latest MIUI 11 to a number of its models including the low-end Redmi 4. The Redmi Note 6 Pro has now joined the league of Xiaomi models running MIUI 11. The company has started pushing OTA updates to the Note 6 Pro which ushers in the MIUI 11 Global Stable ROM V11.0.1.0.PEKMIXM.

The Redmi Note 6 Pro is the last smartphone Xiaomi launched last year before splitting the Redmi band into an independent brand. The phone runs on MIUI 9 but was later updated to MIUI 10 based on Android 9. Sadly, this new update is still based on Android 9 but has several features that debut with Android 10.

For those whose models run the Global Stable ROM, the OTA update must have hit their models already. You can also go to Settings – About phone and check for a new update. But if you’re using Custom Stable ROM or Global Developer ROM, then perform clean upgrade via Fastboot update. It is important you back up your data before flashing or even before updating the Global Stable ROM as some users have complained of their device unable to boot again after the OTA update.

The post Redmi Note 6 Pro finally gets MIUI 11 Global Stable update via OTA appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Redmi Note 6 Pro might as well be one of the least popular devices in the Redmi series. While it launched with a new design (notched display) and upgraded cameras (an extra selfie camera, larger apertures), the fact that it retained the processor of its predecessor – the Redmi Note 5 Pro, made it uninteresting to a lot of fans of the series. A new update is rolling out to the phone now and it brings Android Pie.

The phone, which launched in November 2018, ran Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box with a planned upgrade to Android Pie in the future. The new MIUI 10.3.2 update rolling out brings the latest version of Android to the phone.

The update for the Redmi Note 6 Pro is 1.7GB in size. The changelog doesn’t actually say it brings Android Pie but the Android version changes after the update. What the changelog says are that the system performance has been optimized and system security and stability have been improved. You can wait for the update to arrive on your phone or you can manually download it from here.

The Redmi Note 6 Pro is gradually making its way across Asia. Following its launch in Thailand and Indonesia, it is now set to arrive in India and the date is November 22.

The Redmi Note 6 Pro does not offer much when it comes to upgrades. It has the same processor as the Redmi Note 5 (Redmi Note 5 Pro in India) and the same battery capacity. However, it is nowhere alike with its predecessor.

The Redmi Note 6 Pro has a 6.26-inch 1080 x 2280 display with a 19:9 aspect ratio and Corning Gorilla Glass on top. The notched display is bigger but the phone has the same form factor as the Redmi Note 5 Pro. It also has two cameras in front – a 20MP f/2.0 0.9μm sensor and a 2MP f/2.2 1.75μm secondary sensor.

There is dual-pixel autofocus, enhanced low-light photography, HDR, EIS, and dynamic bokeh.

In the past couple of weeks, a new Redmi phone has been in the news. That phone is the Redmi Note 6 Pro and it will take over from the Redmi Note 5 Pro as the king of the Redmi series.

Just this morning, images showing the specs of the phone leaked on the web and it revealed a couple of key specs. Now we have gotten exclusive info which makes us believe the launch of the phone is very close.

According to an insider, the Redmi Note 6 Pro has begun shipping to major sellers and stock should be ready by tomorrow. This sort of explains how those images showing the phone’s specs came to be. We want to believe they originated from a seller who already received supply.

Seeing as the Xiaomi has an event on  Wednesday, September 19. We believe they will most likely announce the Redmi Note 6 Pro alongside the Mi 8 Youth and Mi 8 Screen Fingerprint edition rather than having a separate launch for it.

The Redmi Note 6 Pro will come with a 6.26-inch screen with a 19:9 aspect ratio which means it has a notch. A leaked spec sheet has revealed the display has a Full HD+ resolution. It will come in two variants (for now) – 3GB RAM + 32GB and 4GB RAM + 64GB. Both variants will be powered by the Snapdragon 636 processor. This may be a letdown for some folks but it makes sense. If the Redmi Note 6 Pro were to come with the same chipset inside the Mi A2/Mi 6X, it will affect sales of the latter seeing as the Redmi Note 6 Pro already trumps it with a bigger battery and a 3.5mm audio jack.

Xiaomi already launched three phones belonging to the 6th generation Redmi Series. They are the Redmi 6A, the Redmi 6, and the Redmi 6 Pro a.k.a. Mi A2 Lite. But there is still one that hasn’t been released yet and that is the Redmi Note 6. Reports have surfaced saying the Redmi Note 6 (Pro version in this case) is on the way along with pricing, configuration, and color variants for Europe.

The info comes from popular leaker Roland Quandt who revealed in a tweet earlier today that the Redmi Note 6 Pro is on the way. The Note 6 Pro will be available in two variants – 3GB RAM +32GB and 4GB RAM + 64GB. While these are the models heading to Europe, there will likely be other configurations such as a 6GB RAM version.

The Redmi Note 6 Pro will launch in Gold, Blue, and Black which are pretty much standard colors for Redmi phones now. We may also get a red-coated variant later.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro incoming. 3/32GB and 4/64GB models. In Gold, Blue or Black. Priced at ~200/250 Euro likely much cheaper elsewhere as usual. And also probably coming in more colors.

However, we’ll advise you not to raise your hopes as Xiaomi may decide to stick to the same SoC again.
