Design & display
Meanwhile, here's recalling the Redmi Note 6 Pro
Up front, the Redmi Note 6 Pro gets a notched display with a thick bottom chin to sport an 86% screen-to-body ratio. On the back, the phone looks identical to its predecessor with an iPhone X-like camera layout and a fingerprint sensor. Further, Redmi Note 6 Pro features a 6.26-inch full-HD+ (2280×1080p) LCD display with a 19:9 aspect ratio, and 2.5D Gorilla Glass protection.
Cameras
Xiaomi's first smartphone to feature quad cameras
On the back, the Redmi Note 6 Pro gets a 12MP+5MP dual camera setup - much like the Redmi Note 5 Pro. However, the main sensor has now been upgraded with larger 1.4-micron pixels, a wider f/1.9 aperture, and Dual-Pixel PDAF. Up front, the notch houses a dual camera setup comprising a 20-MP (f/2.0) primary sensor with 1.8-micron pixels and a 2-MP depth sensor.

Further, the phone runs on Android Oreo-based MIUI 10 and packs a 4,000mAh battery with support for Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0.
