    What's the story

    Huawei-owned Honor 8X and Xiaomi's Redmi Note 6 Pro are currently the best-selling smartphones in the mid-range segment.

    Honor claims to have sold over 6 million units of 8X globally (since its launch in September) whereas over 6 lakh units of Redmi Note 6 Pro were sold in India in the first sale itself.

    But which one is better? Here's our comparison.

    Design

    At a glance

    Up front, both the phones sport an edge-to-edge notched display. However, with a slightly smaller display cut-out and a slimmer bottom bezel, Honor 8X boasts a 91% screen-to-body ratio as against Redmi's 86%.

    On the back, the Honor 8X gets a glass panel with a textured design whereas Redmi Note 6 Pro sports a metallic body - much like its predecessor.

    Winner: Honor 8X.

    Display

    All about the screen

    Honor 8X features a 6.5-inch full-HD+ (1080x2340-Pixels) LCD display with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio and pixel density of 397ppi.

    In comparison, Redmi Note 6 Pro sports a 6.26-inch full-HD+ (1080x2280 pixels) LCD display with a 19:9 aspect ratio and 402ppi density.

    The Honor 8X's display is taller, has a slightly higher resolution and overall slimmer bezels offer increased screen real-estate.

    Winner: Honor 8X.

    Primary Camera

    For the shutterbugs

    The Redmi Note 6 Pro sports a 12MP+5MP dual camera setup with larger 1.4-micron pixels, a wider f/1.9 aperture, Dual-Pixel PDAF, and LED flash.

    The Honor 8X sports a 20MP+2MP dual rear-camera setup with an f/1.8 aperture and an LED flash.

    Both the phones come with a bunch of AI-based image enhancement features as well.

    Winner: Redmi Note 6 Pro for overall better optics.

    Selfie Camera

    For the love of Selfies

    As far the selfie game is concerned, Redmi Note Pro 6 easily takes the cake with its dual front-camera setup comprising a 20MP (f/2.0) primary sensor with 1.8-micron pixels and a 2MP depth sensor.

    In comparison, Honor 8X offers a 16MP (f/2.0) selfie snapper and a bunch of AI-based image enhancing features.

    Winner: Redmi Note 6 Pro.

    Internals

    All the important stuff

    The Honor 8X is powered by a HiSilicon Kirin 710 processor, coupled with 4GB/6GB of RAM, 64GB/128GB of internal storage (expandable upto 400GB), and performance-boosting GPU Turbo technology.

    The Redmi Note 6 Pro runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 chipset, paired with up to 6GB of RAM (in India) and 64GB of storage (expandable upto 256GB).

    Winner: Honor 8X for its more powerful chipset.

    Sensors & Software

    Lifeblood of your smartphone

    Both the phones pack a standard array of sensors including an ambient light sensor, compass, gravity sensor, gyroscope, and a proximity sensor.

    They also offer a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor and camera-based Face Unlock feature.

    In terms of software, Honor 8X runs Android Oreo-based EMUI 8.2 whereas Redmi Note 6 Pro comes with Android Oreo-based MIUI 10.

    Winner: You be the judge here.

    Battery & Connectivity

    Staying connected

    In terms of connectivity, both the phones support dual-SIM cards, 4G VoLTE, dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11a/c, Bluetooth 4.2 (version 5.0 on Redmi Note 6 Pro) GPS/A-GPS, Micro-USB port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

    In terms of battery capacity, the Honor 8X packs a 3,750mAh cell whereas the Redmi Note 6 Pro offers a bigger 4,000mAh battery.

    Winner: Redmi Note 6 Pro.

    Information

    Pricing: The key factor

    The Honor 8X costs Rs. 14,999 for the 4GB/64GB model, Rs. 16,999 for the 6GB/64GB variant, and Rs. 18,999 for the 6GB/128GB option. In comparison, Redmi Note 6 Pro costs Rs. 13,999 for the 4GB/64GB variant and Rs. 15,999 for the 6GB/64GB model.

    Our result

    The new mid-range smartphone king

    While Redmi Note 6 Pro offers a slightly bigger battery, improved cameras, the phone is internally the same as its predecessor.

    In comparison, the all-rounder Honor 8X impresses with its trendier design, larger display, superior processor and decent cameras.

    Hence, if you're into casual photography, heavy mobile gaming and video streaming, Honor 8X for an extra Rs. 1,000, is a no-brainer.

    Winner: Honor 8X.
