Smartphone with SoC based on 12nm process
Redmi 6 sports the latest MediaTek Helio P22 SoC. Its octa-core CPU is built on 12nm process and consumes about 48% less power than comparable 28nm chipsets. The CPU also features ARM’s big.LITTLE architecture that automatically switches between performance and power-efficient cores depending on tasks, so as to achieve balanced performance and power consumption.
Redmi 6 has a12MP + 5MP dual camera setup. The main sensor has1.25µm large pixels—the largest among popular smartphones in this price range. Larger pixels take in more light than smaller ones, a huge advantage for improving photo quality and reducing noise, especially in low-light conditions. It also uses phase-detection autofocus to improve focusing speed so users won’t miss capturing important moments. The 5MP front camera of Redmi 6 is supported by Xiaomi’s AI Portrait mode, which renders a realistic bokeh effect with a single lens.
Redmi 6 comes with two variants: 3+32GB for Rs. 19,999 and 4+64GB for 24,999. Redmi 6A is priced at Rs. 14,999 for 2+16 GB and Rs. 16,999 for 2+32 GB.
Both models will be available in four colors: Gold, Black, Blue and Grey.
