Taking no kind of danger, Xiaomi has retained the Snapdragon 636 processor in this phone too. But the Note 6 Pro is different due to the Nokia display and quad camera setup. Will Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro smartphone be successful like Redmi Note 5 Pro? Let’s know …
Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Design
In terms of design Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro To a large extent Note 5 is similar to Pro. If you look at Xiaomi Mi A2, Redmi Note 5 Pro and Redmi Note 6 Pro, then you will not be able to differentiate between the three devices easily. The vertical dual rear camera setup given on the back is upright. LED flash has also found a place in the camera module. The smartphone has a metal backplate above the plastic frame.
However, Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro from the front looks best, especially because of the notch in the top on the display. The Nokia of this phone is larger than the Nokia of Redmi 6 Pro, which is Xiaomi’s first smartphone to come with the Nokia display in India.
Xiaomi has given power and volume buttons on the right side. It is easy to reach the power button. But reaching the volume button is not as easy. The feedback of all buttons is good. The top has a 3.5mm headphone jack, secondary microphone and IR ammeter. The bottom has a micro USB port, which was disappointed. Because many smartphones of this price range come with USB Type-C port, take Nokia 6.1 Plus and Motorola One Power for example. There are grills on either side of the micro-USB port. Out of this, the right grill has a speaker.
The phone has a hybrid dual sim tray on the left side. Xiaomi has made the phone curved on the back, so that the grip in the hands is good. The weight of 182 grams does not inconvenience the hands. If you are thinking about weight then this has happened due to a large battery of 4000 mAh.

According to Xiaomi, rear cameras can identify 31 scenes using AI and selfie camera 12 scenes. Its camera app is similar to the camera app of other Xiaomi smartphone.
Landscape shots came with fine details. The phone was successful in acquiring the right exposure. If you zoom in 100 percent, then you will get a shortage of details. Auto HDR is also available. It starts working on its own during need. Note 6 Pro surprised us in the macrose shot. A good seperation was seen between the background and the subject. We also tested the AI camera. The phone was easily identifying the subject.

In such a situation, pictures blur comes when the object moves. If there is no light source around, then the photos do not come as sharp. The lack of details is clearly visible.
