Xiaomi Redmi 6 review: Good performance and battery life at a budget
Source: The Indian Express Archive.org version
Redmi 6 is a decent option in the budget segment with Realme 2 and Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 as its closest competitors. Realme 2 comes with a bigger display, battery and camera specifications, but you will also have to spend almost Rs 1,000 extra to get the same storage and RAM model. For those interested in big battery, they can go for the Asus phone that packs a 5,000 battery or Motorola One Power or the Redmi 6 Pro, which has a 4000 mAh one on board.

75% Xiaomi Redmi 6 review: Worthy Redmi 5 successor and one of the best phones under Rs 10,000
Source: India Today Archive.org version
Yes. The Redmi 6 is a worthy successor to the Redmi 5. It offers better performance and design than the Redmi 5 but costs the same. In India, the 3GB RAM with 32GB of internal storage variant of the Redmi 6 costs Rs 7,999, while the price of the 3GB RAM and 64GB storage model goes up to Rs 9,499. If you already own the Redmi 5, I would say stick to it, because it isn't a bad phone either. But in case you're looking to buy a phone that costs under Rs 8,000, go for the Redmi 6.

70% Xiaomi Redmi 6 Review
Source: NDTV Gadgets Archive.org version
The Redmi 6 is priced starting at Rs. 7,999. It has decent hardware for the price and it offers better performance than the smartphone it replaces. The base variant with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage offers better value and does not have a lot of competition to deal with. However, if you are eyeing the higher variant that is priced at Rs. 9,499, you might want to take a look at the RealMe 1 (Review) and the Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 (Review) instead, because both of them offer much better performance for a slightly higher price.

Comment

Model: The Xiaomi Redmi 6 is a bargain for a price dual camera smartphone. It was launched in June 2018. With its beautiful and elegant design, the smartphone is both easy on the eye and also pleasant to hold. The company is also advertising their Xiao AI voice assistant feature, which is integrated directly into the camera to recognize plants, vehicles, living environments, as well as items for price comparison. The Redmi 6 features a 5.45-inch HD+ display in the now standard, 18:9 aspect ratio. It covers 80.5% of the front surface, which is in the current smartphone design theme. The body is gracefully thin and feels right in the hand. The display is bright enough for proper usage under bright sunlight. The screen is paired with fair viewing angles for a good visual experience. A user can also take strikingly clear photos with the 12 MP +  5 MP dual camera. 1.25 μm large pixels on the primary lens capture the beauty of any scene, while the AI-powered portrait mode with Beautify blurs the background to create portraits that stand out. A fingerprint scanner is on the rear. Like most smartphones these days, the AI face unlock feature is supported via the front camera as well. The screen lights up when a user picks up the phone, which apparently helps improve the speed of the unlock process.

Interestingly, Xiaomi decided to go with a MediaTek Helio P22 chip, which features an octa-core 2 GHz CPU. Storage options include 3 GB + 32 GB and 4 GB + 64 GB, and user can use a microSD card (up to 256 GB). The octa-core processor takes operational efficiency to the next level. The result is a brilliant performance. Produced with 12 nm process technology, it's less energy intensive. There are five dots on the back of the device, which aren’t for wireless charging. Instead, users will be looking at a humble speaker grill, though it might not be a suitable place for a speaker grill to be positioned there. It is easy to cover up the speaker grill while holding it with hands. The Redmi 6 is powered by a non-removable 3,000 mAh battery. It measures 147.5 x 71.5 x 8.30 mm (height x width x thickness) and weighs 146 grams. The phone is running the older MIUI 9, which is based on Android 8.1 Oreo. For connectivity, users get options like VoLTE, 4G, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, and a micro USB 2.0 port. As a conclusion, the Xiaomi Redmi 6 is a budget dual camera. For its price tag, it definitely has decent hardware specifications able to satisfy most users. It is an ideal device for users on a budget who still want a decent camera.

73.5%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
