Xiaomi releases official photos and specs of Redmi 6 Pro ahead of release on June 25th

Xiaomi announced the Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A in China last week, but a third device, once rumored to be part of the company’s Redmi 6 lineup, remained conspicuous by its absence. However, it looks like the Redmi 6 Pro won’t remain MIA for too long as Xiaomi officially announced earlier this week that the Redmi 6 Pro will be launched on June 25th.

However, just a few days after its official launch, the company shared a number of new live images of the Redmi 6 Pro on Weibo, giving us more information about the upcoming smartphone. In the second post, we also showed off the unboxing of Redmi 6 Pro.

Not only that, the company revealed many of the device’s key technical specifications, revealing that it has slightly better hardware specs than its recently launched stablemate. Xiaomi also announced the price, revealing that the 4GB+64GB model will be available in China at a price of 999 yuan (approximately Rs. 10,500).

According to a Weibo post, the device will come with a 5.84-inch 19:9 FHD+ display. Xiaomi hasn’t said anything about the phone’s processor, but previous rumors suggested it would be powered by a Snapdragon 625 SoC.

The company also did not reveal whether the aforementioned 4GB+64GB model will be a base version or a premium version, but the device will be equipped with a 4,000mAh battery and a 12MP+5MP camera module on the back. I admit that it will happen.

In terms of design, notches may be disappearing on high-end phones, but they’re just starting to appear on mid-range phones. As seen in the render earlier, the Redmi 6 Pro has officially joined the notch bandwagon, but it still sports a huge chin at the bottom.

Apart from that, the images also show an elongated form factor and a dual camera module arranged vertically on the back. There appears to be a single camera on the front and a fingerprint scanner on the back. Xiaomi is sticking to Micro USB even on the 6 Pro, which was expected given that even the Redmi Note series didn’t adopt USB Type-C this year. Check out the Redmi 6 Pro below.
