Redmi Note Pro is finally official and promises to drive Xiaomi even higher than it is right now. This handset features a premium, full metal unibody design, with a 2.5D glass front and a brushed metal finish on its body. Even more, it comes as one of the few 5.5-inch handsets in the sub-$300 USD price range to pack a full HD OLED display.

These are the three Xiaomi Redmi Note Pro variants announced and their highlights:

MediaTek Helio X20, 3 GB RAM, 32 GB internal storage
MediaTek Helio X25, 3 GB RAM, 64 GB internal storage
MediaTek Helio X25, 4 GB RAM, 128 GB internal storage

All the three variants come with a fingerprint reader placed on the front, 13 MP + 5 MP dual rear cameras with dynamic bokeh, a 4050 mAh battery with fast charging capabilities, USB Type-C, and dual-SIM support. One of the SIM slots can act as a microSD slot, but by using it for this purpose, the handset can only use one SIM.

The Redmi Note Pro ships with Android 6.0.1-based MIUI 8 firmware and retails for about $225 USD, $255 USD, and $300 USD (the prices of the variants mentioned earlier, in the same order).

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
