Comparisons Featuring Xiaomi Redmi 6
Short Review
- The Xiaomi Redmi 6 features a compact design with dimensions of 147.5 x 71.5 x 8.3 mm and a weight of 146g, utilizing a glass front and plastic back.
- Its 5.45-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1440 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 295 ppi.
- Performance is driven by the Mediatek MT6762 Helio P22 chipset, with an octa-core CPU and PowerVR GE8320 GPU, supported by configurations of 3GB or 4GB RAM.
- The dual rear camera setup includes a 12 MP main sensor and a 5 MP depth sensor, capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the 5 MP front camera serves for selfies.
- The 3000mAh battery supports standard charging but lacks wireless capabilities.
- Running on Android 8.1 with a planned upgrade to Android 10 and MIUI 12, the software experience is user-friendly.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, and microUSB 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is available in multiple colors, including Black, Grey, Blue, Gold, and Rose Gold.
- Notably, it retains a headphone jack, catering to users who prefer wired audio.
- Overall, the Redmi 6 balances essential features with a practical design.
