Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro (2018) — The Notch Display Budget Phone That Delivered on Every Promise

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro is a mid-range smartphone developed by Xiaomi, serving as a mid-range derivative of the flagship Xiaomi Mi 8, sharing similar design elements including its notch display and dual camera placement. Announced in September 2018 and released in October 2018, it quickly became one of the most sought-after budget smartphones of the year.

The Redmi Note 6 Pro comes with a 6.26-inch Full HD+ IPS LCD display with an aspect ratio of 19:9, powered by the 1.8GHz octa-core Snapdragon 636 processor paired with an Adreno 509 GPU. The phone comes in three variants — the base model with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage, a mid variant with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage priced at Rs 13,999, and a top-end model with 6GB RAM and 64GB storage — all expandable via microSD card up to 256GB.

One of the most exciting features of the Redmi Note 6 Pro is its quad camera setup — a dual rear camera system featuring a 12MP and 5MP combination, and an impressive dual front camera with a 20MP and 2MP setup, making it one of the best selfie phones in the budget segment at the time.

The device is powered by a 4000mAh battery and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass, weighing just 182 grams at 8.3mm thickness. It also includes a rear fingerprint sensor, Bluetooth 5.0, dual-band Wi-Fi, GPS, a 3.5mm headphone jack, infrared sensor, and dual SIM support — a truly complete connectivity package for a budget device.

Running on Android 8.1 Oreo with MIUI 10 at launch and later updated to MIUI 12, the Redmi Note 6 Pro remains a beloved device among Xiaomi fans and continues to receive praise for its durability and reliability years after its release.
