Apart from the notch on the front, the Redmi 6 Pro is actually very similar to the Redmi Note 5 Pro in terms of the design.

The smartphone does feature a fingerprint sensor as well, positioned on the back. Keeping the lights on is a large 4000mAh capacity battery, so you can expect great battery life. In terms of size, the new Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro measures 149.33 x 71.68 x 8.75mm and weighs in at 178 grams. When it comes to software, the Redmi 6 Pro runs on the Android 8.1 Oreo-based MIUI 9 out of the box.

Redmi 6 Pro: Expected Price in India, Launch Date
As we reported recently, the Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro is going to be launched in India along with the Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A smartphones within two months. No specific launch date has been confirmed yet, although we can expect Xiaomi to begin teasing the three smartphones a few days before the launch event.
As for the price, we expect the Redmi 6 Pro to start at Rs.12,999 in India, which means the smartphone is going to be positioned between the Redmi Note 5 and Redmi Note 5 Pro smartphones in the Indian market. While the hardware specifications of the Redmi 6 Pro aren’t as impressive as the Redmi Note 5 Pro’s, it does offer several key advantages over the Redmi Note 5, which could make it one of Xiaomi’s most popular devices in India in the future.
