Xiaomi Redmi 6 officially launched

Xiaomi has launched their latest budget smartphone, the Xiaomi Redmi 6. The phone, as the name implies, is the follow up to last year’s Redmi 5. Priced at $125, here is everything the phone has to offer.

The Xiaomi Redmi 6 features a 5.45-inch HD+ IPS display with an 18:9 aspect ratio. Encasing the internals of the phone is a metallic shell which gives the phone a premium look and feels. Under the hood, the phone packs an octa-core MediaTek Helio P22 chipset along with the PowerVR GE8320 GPU. The processor is backed by 3/4GB of RAM and 32/64GB of internal storage. The memory of the phone can be further expanded via a micro-sd card up to 256GB. It also supports dual sim cards and is now 4G capable.

In the camera department, the Xiaomi Redmi 6 packs a dual-camera set up made by a 12MP and a 5MP lens. The phone also has a 5MP front camera, accompanied by an LED flash, for all your selfies. Software-wise, the phone runs Android 8.1 Oreo with Xiaomi’s own custom skin, MIUI 10, overlaid on top of it.  And finally powering this device all up is a 3300mAh non-user removable battery. This coupled with the low-res display will be enough to get users through a full day of moderate to heavy usage without any issues.
