Notch here, notch there – notch everywhere. With Xiaomi's Redmi series, last year's "innovation" from Cupertino has reached the low-priced midrange smartphone market. The Redmi 6 delivers an outstanding performance in addition to – or perhaps despite – the notch in the upper third of the display. Our detailed review includes more information about the Xiaomi smartphone's performance and answers the question whether an import of this midrange smartphone is worth the effort. Show Marcus Herbrich, 👁 Florian Schmitt, ✓ Felicitas Krohn (translated by Sabrina Hartmann), Published 08/16/2018 🇩🇪 🇫🇷  Xiaomi's newest additions to the Redmi series were introduced at the end of June this year. Customers are able choose between the more powerful Redmi 6 Pro and a lower-priced version without the name affix "Pro". Of course, both models are rather similar to each other, but there are still some significant differences between the Redmi 6 Pro and the normal version. The Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro has a Full HD+ panel with a resolution of 2280x1080 pixels and a display diagonal of 5.84 inches. A notch can also be found inside the IPS panel, housing the earpiece and the sensors, as well as the 5-megapixel front camera, which utilizes artificial intelligence for facial recognition. The phone's rear has a dual camera system, which also makes use of said AI features. The midrange smartphone is powered by a slightly outdated Qualcomm SoC: a Snapdragon 625. It should still suffice for a competitive performance in the price range below 200 Euros (~$227), though. The permanently installed battery has a capacity of 4000 mAh. The Redmi 6 Pro is available in three variants. The entry-level variant offers 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage space at a price of about 130 Euros (~$148) in China. The import price was roughly 160 Euros (~$182) at the time of testing. Additionally, a version with 4 GB of RAM and a choice of either 32 GB or 64 GB of internal storage is available. Online shops offer this version in a price range starting at 180 Euros (~$205), which is a difference of approximately 20 Euros (~$22) in comparison to the price within China. Users looking to avoid importing the phone from China can instead purchase the Redmi 6 Pro locally as an Android One version.

The Redmi 6 Pro's outward appearance is reminiscent of the Xiaomi Mi 8 design. The front of the case is made of scratch-resistant 2.5D display glass, which transitions into the 8.75-millimeter metal frame in a slight curve. The 5.84-inch IPS display is framed by narrow bezels at the sides. The top bezel is relatively narrow as well, causing a ratio of 80% between the display and device front. The rear of the Redmi 6 Pro is made mostly of brushed aluminum and is available in five color options: red, pink, gold, light blue, and black. The vertically aligned dual cam setup protrudes from the case slightly, so that the phone wiggles during inputs on a flat table. The build and material quality are on a really high level for a phone of this price range. Our only point of criticism was the slightly wobbly volume control buttons at the right side of the case. The pressure points are well defined and pleasantly crisp. One-handed operation is possible thanks to the Xiaomi smartphone's low width of less than 72 millimeters. However, the phone is not all that pleasant to hold because of the slightly edgy metal frame.

Users in need of a higher capacity can expand the storage via microSD cards, but these cannot be mounted as internal storage. According to the manufacturer, the microSD card slot supports storage media of up to 256 GB. Since cards of that size are of the SDXC standard, even larger storage media should be accepted by the smartphone in the future without any problems. The Redmi 6 Pro is still charged via a micro-USB 2.0 port on the bottom. Peripherals such as external keyboards or USB sticks can be connected via this port and USB OTG. Wireless transmission to other screens (Miracast) worked flawlessly in our test. In addition to a status LED for incoming notifications, the midrange smartphone is equipped with a fingerprint sensor and an infrared port. Currently, VoLTE is only supported for China Mobile, but this will hopefully be expanded to additional telecommunications companies as soon as an EU model of the Redmi 6 series (Mi A2 Lite) is released. The Redmi 6 Pro's operating system, namely Google Android 8.1 Oreo, is rather up to date at the time of testing – the same is true for the security patch level from July 2018. The manufacturer wraps the operating system into their own MiUI version 9.6 (stable), which we have already seen in the Xiaomi Mi 6X review, among others. The MiUI is a strongly customized user interface that does not bear much resemblance to vanilla Android. In addition to visual adjustments, the system software offers many customization options. Since the Redmi series has been designed for the Chinese market only for now, Xiaomi's own software MiUI does not offer any Google services such as the Play Store, or Google apps such as Gmail out-of-the-box. Instead, Chinese services and Xiaomi's own services are installed. However, a global version supporting Google services and offering additional system languages other than Chinese and English (German among others) will supposedly be released at a later time. Alternatively, the sister model Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite with pure Android One instead of MiUI is available in Europe. Xiaomi uses only Bluetooth 4.2 for the communication modules. The Redmi 6 Pro does not have an NFC chip for near field communication between mobile devices. The midrange smartphone's integrated Wi-Fi module supports the IEEE 802.11 standards a/b/g/n (dual band), so it uses not only the 2.4 GHz frequency range but also the 5 GHz range. We measured a low attenuation of -34 dBm in close proximity to the router (Telekom Speedport, W921V). The Redmi smartphone reaches good transfer rates of about 120 Mb/s in interaction with our reference router Linksys EA8500. Only the Motorola Moto G5s Plus is able to keep up with the Redmi 6 Pro here. The reception quality of the Wi-Fi module is good in everyday use and the signal is stable. The Category 6 LTE smartphone with dual SIM achieves download rates of up to 300 Mb/s in the mobile Internet. Our test device aimed at the Chinese market is limited to local bands, so the LTE modem lacks access to LTE band 20 in the 800 MHz frequency range. The EU version (Mi A2 Lite) does not have these restrictions for Germany, though. Overall, the LTE modem supports nine LTE bands, which is not enough for a "suitable for globetrotting" recommendation. The Redmi smartphone supports up to two nano-SIM cards at the same time. Thanks to the triple card slot, users do not have to do without an additional memory card while using two SIM cards simultaneously. Neither of the two cards is limited in its frequency range in dual SIM mode.

Outdoors, the satfix happens very quickly with an accuracy of about three meters. Even indoors, the Xiaomi smartphone is relatively fast in regard to positioning with an identical accuracy of three meters. To assess our test device's location accuracy in practical use, we recorded a bike ride with the Redmi 6 Pro and with the GPS bike computer Garmin Edge 520 as comparison device simultaneously. The results of the midrange smartphone and the professional navigation device differ by about 110 meters, with an overall track length of about six kilometers. This is a satisfying result that should suffice for navigation during car or bike rides. The Xiaomi smartphone's voice quality is good and we did not encounter any problems in everyday use. There were no disruptive dropouts or reception problems during our test. Voices had a clear sound. The quality of the installed microphone was characterized as clear by our call partner. The main camera on the Redmi 6 Pro's rear has two lenses with an open aperture of f/2.2 and a phase detection autofocus. The 12-megapixel main camera has a resolution of 4032x3016 in the 4:3 format, while the second camera sensor (Samsung S5K5E8) has a resolution of 5 MP. We already know the 12-megapixel camera's Sony IMX486 image sensor – it is the same sensor that was installed in the recently reviewed Mi 6X, with pixels in a size of 1.25 μm. In bad lighting conditions, the rear camera unit can be supported by a dual tone LED flash. Image stabilization can be done only via software (EIS), as there is no optical image stabilizer (OIS). The photo quality is outstanding for a midrange smartphone at a price of 180 Euros (~$205), at least in bright lighting conditions. The photos' dynamic and details are both really convincing and the colors look rather natural as well. Even in low ambient light situations, the Redmi 6 Pro does a well enough job. However, there is visible image noise in low light and the pictures are increasingly out of focus. Thanks to the second lens, bokeh effects can be created with targeted application of background blur. The quality of the results is not as high as the Xiaomi smartphone's photo quality, though. Given the device's low price, the Redmi 6 Pro's 5 MP front camera is no selfie specialist. Pictures taken with the OmniVision OV5675 PureCel sensor have a tendency towards overexposure and colors appear too cool - overall, the photos are decent for a low-priced midrange smartphone, though. The front camera records videos in 720p at 30 frames per second. The 12 MP rear camera records videos in the FHD resolution of 1920x1080 pixels at up to 60 FPS. The results are definitely presentable and the EIS does a decent job, but it cannot replace an optical image stabilizer. Image Comparison Choose a scene and navigate within the first image.

The first image shows the scaled photograph of the test device. click to load images We conducted further tests with the Redmi 6 Pro's camera under controlled lighting conditions. The rear camera's color representation was analyzed via ColorChecker Passport, displaying the reference color in the bottom half of each color patch. Our initial impression of the photos was confirmed. The Redmi 6 Pro's color representation is decent but is notably too dark. The white balance was done well, though. The image sharpness in the photographed test chart was rather convincing, too. Even at the edges, the sharpness remains adequate. Colors gradients are displayed cleanly, but text on dark backgrounds is visibly frayed. The box of the Redmi 6 Pro includes a modular power supply with a nominal capacity of 10 watts (5 V, 2 A), a USB cable, a SIM tool, and a quick-start guide. In addition, the manufacturer also includes a silicon case. Xiaomi has not listed special accessories in its online store so far. Furthermore, TradingShenzhen adds an EU adapter for the wall sockets that are common in Europe. This adapter is not part of the standard delivery package, though, and it is a service feature by the lender. The warranty is for 12 months. Please see our Guarantees, Return policies and Warranties FAQ for country-specific information. The phone is operated via three on-screen buttons in the lower third of the display. Inputs on the 5.84-inch display are picked up accurately and quickly, even in the corners of the touchscreen. As introduced with the Mi 6X, "full screen gestures" can be used for navigation in the MiUI 9.6. These swiping gestures replace the on-screen buttons then. The gesture for the "Home" button is swiping upwards from the screen's bottom. Swiping inwards from the sides replaces the "Back" button, and swiping upwards from the screen's bottom and holding in the middle of the screen opens a list of currently running apps. The fingerprint sensor integrated on the phone's rear unlocks the device quickly. The phone also does not take long to reactivate the display from stand-by mode. In addition to the usual unlock options, such as pattern, PIN, and password, the smartphone also supports facial recognition, which works surprisingly fast and reliably. Even in dark surroundings, the recognition rates are quite respectable, as long as the display emits enough light. Sogou for MiUI is used as the keyboard layout. Users preferring a different keyboard app can download and install one from the Play Store. The Redmi 6 Pro is equipped with a 5.84-inch IPS display in the 19:9 format, with a resolution of 2280x1080. The pixel density of 432 PPI is absolutely sufficient for everyday use and the image sharpness is really good. The display reaches its maximum luminosity at 564 cd/m². We measured a similar value in the middle of the screen in automatic mode with activated ambient light sensor on a pure white background. The more realistic APL 50 measurement simulating an even distribution of bright and dark areas on the panel also had a result of about 560 cd/m². Unfortunately, the Redmi 6 Pro uses pulse-width modulation for brightness control, which leads to fatigue for the user and can even cause headaches for more sensitive users. However, the frequency of 2500 Hz is relatively high, so health problems are unlikely even below a display brightness of 15%. 516 cd/m²550 cd/m²551 cd/m²518 cd/m²554 cd/m²529 cd/m²529 cd/m²564 cd/m²533 cd/m² Distribution of brightness tested with X-Rite i1Pro 2 Maximum: 564 cd/m² (Nits) Average: 538.2 cd/m² Minimum: 1.37 cd/m² Brightness Distribution: 91 % Center on Battery: 554 cd/m² Contrast: 908:1 (Black: 0.61 cd/m²) ΔE Color 4.86 | 0.5-29.43 Ø5 ΔE Greyscale 5.3 | 0.57-98 Ø5.3 99.8% sRGB (Calman 2D) Gamma: 2.281 Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro LCD IPS, 2280x1080, 5.84HTC Desire 12 Plus IPS, 1440x720, 6.00Wiko View Max IPS, 1440x720, 5.99Honor 7C IPS, 1440x720, 5.99Motorola Moto G5s Plus IPS, 1920x1080, 5.50LG K11 IPS, 1280x720, 5.30Xiaomi Black Shark IPS, 2160x1080, 5.99Screen -9% -28% -12% 16% -45% 0% Brightness middle 554 418 -25% 515 -7% 392 -29% 512 -8% 394 -29% 549 -1% Brightness 538 414 -23% 498 -7% 403 -25% 500 -7% 385 -28% 541 1% Brightness Distribution 91 93 2% 90 -1% 85 -7% 90 -1% 93 2% 95 4% Black Level * 0.61 0.7 -15% 0.48 21% 0.61 -0% 0.35 43% 0.66 -8% 0.42 31% Contrast 908 597 -34% 1073 18% 643 -29% 1463 61% 597 -34% 1307 44% Colorchecker dE 2000 * 4.86 4.2 14% 7.8 -60% 5.4 -11% 4.6 5% 8.2 -69% 6.08 -25% Colorchecker dE 2000 max. * 8.46 8.3 2% 15.87 -88% 9.7 -15% 7.6 10% 21.5 -154% 10.69 -26% Greyscale dE 2000 * 5.3 4.7 11% 10.6 -100% 4.2 21% 3.8 28% 7.5 -42% 6.6 -25% Gamma 2.281 96% 2.27 97% 2.246 98% 2.59 85% 2.11 104% 2.6 85% 2.305 95% CCT 7770 84% 7394 88% 9715 67% 6734 97% 6952 93% 7581 86% 8399 77% * ... smaller is better Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)ℹ To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether. Screen flickering / PWM detected 2404 Hz ≤ 15 % brightness setting The display backlight flickers at 2404 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 15 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 2404 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18351 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured. The panel installed in the Redmi 6 Pro is really good for a midrange smartphone, even though the black level of 0.61 cd/m² and the contrast ratio of 908:1 are only average. Our test device had a slightly better contrast in the APL 50 test, during which we measured a ratio of 1015:1 with a black level of 0.55 cd/m². The analysis with a spectrophotometer and the CalMAN software resulted in somewhat high DeltaE deviations to the sRGB color space, with values of 4.9 (color) and 5.3 (grayscales). In comparison: The ideal range starts at values < 3. At over 7700 K, the color temperature is significantly too high, resulting in a slight blue tint. The IPS panel covers the sRGB color space almost entirely. Display Response Timesℹ Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times. ↔ Response Time Black to White16 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 7 ms rise ↘ 9 ms fallThe screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.

This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (34.1 ms). The legibility of the display outdoors is pretty good in general. The screen content remains legible even in direct sunlight. The Redmi smartphone has outstanding viewing-angle stability. No changes in color and only a very slight decrease in brightness are noticeable when the IPS panel is tilted strongly. The Qualcomm MSM8953 Snapdragon 625 is a midrange SoC from 2016, manufactured in the 14 nm FinFET process. It has eight Cortex A53 processor cores, working at a clock speed of up to 2 GHz. The installed GPU is an Adreno 506, offering support for modern APIs such as Vulkan and OpenGL ES 3.1. Supported by 4 GB of RAM, the midrange device delivers a good system performance. Apps also have pleasantly short loading times. However, there are some small, non-reproducible system stutters, especially during more demanding apps and multitasking. The Redmi 6 Pro is at the front of the comparison field in our benchmark package, clearly ahead of the Snapdragon-450 and MediaTek rivals. The Snapdragon 625 can shine especially in AnTuTu and Geekbench. The Xiaomi smartphone also did very well in the system benchmarks.

Even complex websites load relatively quickly and without errors. The Redmi smartphone also leaves a good impression in the benchmarks and is always among the first of the comparison field. The speed of the 64 GB internal eMMC storage is outstanding for its class, leaving the competition with no chance. Especially when writing and reading small data blocks, the performance of the Redmi 6 Pro is in a league of its own. Things look different for the speed of the microSD card reader, though. The transfer rates are decent but are not any better than the competition. The Redmi 6 Pro does not exhaust the possibilities of our reference card Toshiba Exceria Pro M501.

We took a look at some more-demanding games from the Play Store with the app GameBench. The first-person shooter Dead Trigger 2 and the racing game Asphalt 8 were displayed at a constant 30 FPS on highest settings. The sensors and touchscreen reacted promptly during our tests, but the speaker is easily covered by the user's fingers.

Under load, temperatures rise especially on the front of the device, sometimes even crossing the 40 °C mark. This is still acceptable, though, and it should not pose any problems for everyday use. The waste heat inside the midrange smartphone is of greater interest to us. We tested the Qualcomm-SoC's temperature behavior with the GFXBench battery test, which repeats a test scenario 30 times in a row while recording the battery level as well as the frame rate. The Redmi 6 Pro's throttling is negligibly low under load during the demanding Manhattan test (OpenGL ES 3.1). The results show a rather constant frame rate with fluctuations lower than 1%, so performance drops under load are unlikely. 40.4 °C 105 F37.7 °C 100 F37 °C 99 F 40.6 °C 105 F37.9 °C 100 F37.3 °C 99 F 40.3 °C 105 F37.9 °C 100 F37.2 °C 99 F Maximum: 40.6 °C = 105 F Average: 38.5 °C = 101 F 37.7 °C 100 F38.6 °C 101 F39.2 °C 103 F37.8 °C 100 F38.6 °C 101 F39.5 °C 103 F37.8 °C 100 F38.3 °C 101 F39.1 °C 102 F Maximum: 39.5 °C = 103 F Average: 38.5 °C = 101 F Power Supply (max.) 42.2 °C = 108 F | Room Temperature 22 °C = 72 F | Voltcraft IR-260 (-) The average temperature for the upper side under maximal load is 38.5 °C / 101 F, compared to the average of 32.7 °C / 91 F for the devices in the class Smartphone.

The Redmi 6 Pro is equipped with only a mono speaker at the bottom. At a maximum volume of 81 dB(A), the speaker is sufficiently loud and powerful, though. The sound quality is only suited for short video playback. As was to be expected, the sound is lacking bass entirely. The sound tends to be dominated by the mid-frequency range, which is reproduced in a non-linear fashion. Furthermore, a dip in the high frequencies starting at around 8 kHz and in the super high frequencies starting at around 15 kHz is visible in the pink noise chart. The Xiaomi smartphone comes equipped with a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Audio output via the headphone port as well as via Bluetooth shows no irregularities and is adequate for the price class. dB(A) 0102030405060708090Deep BassMiddle BassHigh BassLower RangeMidsHigher MidsLower HighsMid HighsUpper HighsSuper Highs2038.144.12537.636.93135.933.44028.1285028.625.66327.823.98029.824.510030.425.912522.220.116023.930.82002043.325019.44831517.253.240016.460.550016.562.363015.16480015.165100014.667.9125014.470.4160013.771.8200012.373.3250012.173315011.869.4400011.766.7500011.763.9630011.662.9800011.654.81000011.5651250011.5691600011.655.7SPL56.725.981.1N10.40.846.2median 14.4median 62.9median 63.6Delta5.211.717.435.243.532.942.537.244.431.744.739.64428.337.227.336.426.936.726.731.22430.920.930.120.934.419.54118.549.117.555.917.561.415.767.515.87116.672.415.87115.472.715.571.41674.815.878.9168116.378.416.376.316.274.716.471.316.461.728.687.31.164.1median 16.4median 712.212.8hearing rangehide median Pink NoiseXiaomi Redmi 6 ProHonor 7C Frequency diagram (checkboxes can be checked and unchecked to compare devices) Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro audio analysis(±) | speaker loudness is average but good (81.1 dB) Bass 100 - 315 Hz (-) | nearly no bass - on average 63.6% lower than median (+) | bass is linear (0% delta to prev. frequency) Mids 400 - 2000 Hz (-) | nearly no mids - on average 63.6% lower than median (+) | mids are linear (0% delta to prev. frequency) Highs 2 - 16 kHz (-) | nearly no highs - on average 63.6% lower than median (+) | highs are linear (0% delta to prev. frequency) Overall 100 - 16.000 Hz (-) | overall sound is not linear (121.6% difference to median) Compared to same class » 88% of all tested devices in this class were better, 9% similar, 2% worse » The best had a delta of 12%, average was 38%, worst was 134% Compared to all devices tested » 96% of all tested devices were better, 3% similar, 1% worse » The best had a delta of 4%, average was 25%, worst was 134% Honor 7C audio analysis(+) | speakers can play relatively loud (87.3 dB) Bass 100 - 315 Hz (-) | nearly no bass - on average 36.9% lower than median (+) | bass is linear (5.4% delta to prev. frequency) Mids 400 - 2000 Hz (±) | reduced mids - on average 6.6% lower than median (±) | linearity of mids is average (7.9% delta to prev. frequency) Highs 2 - 16 kHz (±) | higher highs - on average 5.5% higher than median (+) | highs are linear (4.5% delta to prev. frequency) Overall 100 - 16.000 Hz (±) | linearity of overall sound is average (25.4% difference to median) Compared to same class » 56% of all tested devices in this class were better, 8% similar, 36% worse » The best had a delta of 12%, average was 38%, worst was 134% Compared to all devices tested » 74% of all tested devices were better, 5% similar, 21% worse » The best had a delta of 4%, average was 25%, worst was 134% The power consumption overall is fine. During average idle operation, it is about as high as it is for other smartphones with a Snapdragon 625. Our measurements show a high fluctuation range for the Redmi 6 Pro, though. As a result, the Xiaomi smartphone has a higher power consumption total than the Snapdragon 625 average and its direct competitors. Only the Wiko View Max has even higher power consumption.

Despite the somewhat high power consumption, Xiaomi coaxes almost 15 hours out of its midrange smartphone. Our battery test with video playback also did not suffer from the more inefficient power consumption. Even under full load during our stress test, the Redmi 6 Pro still lasted five hours. Merely the results in idle mode are not all that good. The charging time amounts to about 2.5 hours, which is adequate considering the high battery capacity.
