Xiaomi today launched the Redmi Note 6 Pro in India, this handset is successor to the Redmi Note 5 Pro and in fact using the same hardware i.e. the Snapdragon 636. Redmi Note 6 Pro price in India is from Rs. 13,999 is it worth the price, find out.

Redmi Note 6 Pro 4GB/64GB is Rs. 13,999 but tomorrow on Flipkart for just one day you can get for Rs. 12,999.

The 6GB /64GB is Rs. 15,999 and tomorrow for one day special price is Rs. 14,999.

When you compare Redmi Note 5 Pro with Redmi Note 6 Pro they may look similar but there are some design changes and the Note 6 Pro looks much better, feels more comfortable to hold and use. Screen is bigger on Note 6 Pro and screen is also gorilla glass protected.

Performance is pretty good; you can play PUBG on this handset. The MIUI 10 looks great and works really smooth. I got Antutu score of about 114K, check the video review and also watch PUGB gameplay action.

Camera quality is excellent though there are some minor issues and that can be fixed via software updates. Handset can shoot FHD videos, slow-mo and time lapse.
