The phone comes with several preinstalled apps for social networking, banking, video streaming, and browsing the Web.ДЇor navigating Android, you can either stick with the default three-button system, or switch to gestures. The same goes for the Mi Community app, but at least this can be uninstalled. The Mi Store app gives you a curated list of apps and games from the Play Store, but it also sends annoying spammy notifications now and then, which we couldnвЂ™t disable. The leftmost home screen gives you a card-style layout for app shortcuts, stock prices, calendar events, etc. MIUI offers gestures and customisable functions that are similar to what weвЂ™ve seen before. The Redmi 6 series will be updated to MIUI 10 soon, according to Xiaomi. It had the slightly oldВ July security patch.

Xiaomi did confirm with us that other than this, the software is identical to what retail units will ship with. Our unit was running on a pre-release version of its MIUI software, which prevented us from running most benchmarks. Gaming performance isnвЂ™t great, as some popular games like PUBG default to the lowest graphics settings,В and even then, gameplay isnвЂ™t smooth. The phone uses QualcommвЂ™s Snapdragon 625 SoC, which is a couple of years old now but is still a capable chip for general tasks. Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro specifications and software In the box, the Redmi 6 Pro ships with a clear case, a SIM eject tool, a USB cable, and a 10W power adapter. Also, Xiaomi has for some reason found a really awkward spot for the notification LED - the bottom left portion of the chin - despite there seemingly being plenty of free space in the notch. This is one of the least attractive notch designs we've come across. The other borders around the panel are also still very thick, including a fat chin at the bottom. The notch results in a bit more display area, but it's pretty massive.

Xiaomi tells Gadgets 360 that the display has a layer of toughened glass, although the company wouldnвЂ™t specify the vendor. The contrast and brightness are adequate. The main highlight of the Redmi 6 Pro is of course its 5.84-inchВ full-HD+ display. ThereвЂ™s a vertically stacked dual camera setup at the back, which protrudes only slightly, so itвЂ™s not much of an inconvenience. The fingerprint sensor is easy to reach and is responsive. You can also buy the Redmi 6 Pro in blue, red, or gold. Our test unit is the black variant, which has a matte finish so it doesnвЂ™t pick up smudges very easily. The Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro has a metal backplate and dual rear cameras The headphone socket is placed on the top, and you also get an infrared (IR) emitter which can be used to control IR appliances through the Mi Remote app. The mono speaker is on the bottom right, so chances of blocking it when using the phone in landscape mode are slim.

Something worth noting is that the Redmi 6 Pro does not support dual 4G VoLTE, which means that only one SIM can connect to a 4G network at a time. The buttons have good feedback without being noisy, and on the left side, you get a single tray which can hold two SIM cards and a separate microSD card. This is a fairly thick phone, and it's a bit hefty too, but itвЂ™s manageable. However, the overall design isnвЂ™t too different from what weвЂ™ve already seen from Xiaomi at around this price point. Being the most premium phone of the new Redmi 6 family, the Redmi 6 Pro has been given somewhat better materials, in the form of a metal backplate.
