The Redmi 6 Pro can be described as a horse for all courses. The handset looks good, comes with the trendy notch design, and packs a massive battery. Although Snapdragon 625 feels like a dated processor at this point, the SoC gets the job done....

The under Rs 13k segment in India is getting crowded by the day with very hard competition and mind-boggling options. Still, the Redmi 6 Pro is a decent option from what is now a trusted brand in India. Xiaomi now has a good chain of service centres...
