Xiaomi’s Redmi series offers some of the best value for money among smartphones right now, and each generation has managed to create great buzz in the market. The latest entrants – the Redmi 6 and the Redmi 6 Pro as well as the Redmi 6A – are all set to hit the market tomorrow. The Redmi 6A and 6 Pro are expected to go on sale exclusively on Amazon India. The Redmi 6 will be exclusive to Flipkart.
Amazon’s Redmi 6 page has gone live, and it describes phones with high-res displays, powerful cameras, faster processors, and beefier battery units, than the last-gen models. The phones will also feature face unlock, one of the hottest trends these days.
Speaking of trends, the poster showcases 2 smartphones, one with a notch, and one without one. The notched device is obviously going to be the Redmi 6 Pro.
However, the other device could either be the Redmi 6 or the Redmi 6A, which means one of the two would be sold on a different platform. That being said, considering that both the Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A look similar from the front, it could be that the poster is used to represent both the devices at the same time. We don’t know which devices are coming to India yet, so this is speculation at this point.
We’ve already covered the storage and the color variants for the Redmi 6 series devices that were leaked a couple of days ago. Also, considering that the devices have already launched in China, we know a lot about the specifications of the device. You can check out the detailed list of specs below:
