| 2-minute Review [Positives] |
- Nice design, with a modern front panel - a 6.4-inch display, superslim bezels and a top U-shaped notch
- Decent 6.4-inch AMOLED display - it has good color reproduction, and good sunlight legibility
- Samsung has gotten the software part on point with it's recent launches, with it's new One UI, that's now one of the better, more streamlined Android skins around - it's especially well suited for big displays like this, packs an intuitive gesture navigation system, and other useful things like a convenient 'dark mode'
- Good set of cameras for the price bracket
- The rear setup includes a 13-megapixel primary lens and a 5-megapixel wide-angle lens - the pictures come out especially good outdoors
- Portrait mode works well too, and there is Samsung's Live Focus option, which gives you control over how blurry the background appears
- The 8-MP selfie cam is good too - the color output is bold and realistic, and there's a good portrait mode here as well
- Very good battery life with a large 4000-mAh battery, combined with the low power display - you will easily get 1.5 days of use
- Decent fast charging speed - you will get 30% charge in 30 minutes, and 100% in less than 2 hours
|
- Sturdy, tried-and-tested design
- Curved back makes it comfortable to hold
- Water-resistant P2i coating, similar to the Poco F1
- Excellent, large, 'notch' display - it has superb contrast, good brightness levels, and tiny bezels - one of the best displays you will get in this price bracket
- MIUI is one of the better, more refined, and more optimised Android UIs around, and is packed with many features and customisation options
- There is also an option to switch to fullscreen navigation gestures instead of the on-screen Android navigation buttons
- Solid mid-range performance - backed by the Snapdragon 636 which is still very good for the class
- Excellent set of dual rear cameras at the back, which improve upon the already very good cameras of the Redmi Note 5 Pro
- The rear cameras perform well regardless of the conditions you’re shooting in - Low light, artificial light, portrait shots, landscapes, it’s got you all covered
- Very good set of dual cameras on the front as well - selfies taken with the Redmi Note 6 Pro have good details, and the edge detection in portrait mode is good too
- Overall, the Redmi Note 6 Pro is now arguably the best camera experience under Rs. 20, 000
- Excellent battery life with a 4000mAH battery pack
- Has an interesting Wi-Fi pass through feature that lets your phone act as a Wi-Fi repeater
- Thoughtful anti-rust coating inside 3.5mm audio jack and micro USB port
- The Redmi Note 6 Pro again ticks all the right boxes for a best-seller in its class and price segment, continuing a tradition of the Redmi Note line in terms of excellent value for money
- If you want a very good all-rounder with best camera in the mid-range, you need to look no further

| 2-minute Review [Negatives] |
- The glossy plastic body is easily scratched, and also tends to gather fingerprints (you will want to use a case)
- The phone's rear fingerprint sensor is slow (you will mostly prefer using face unlock)
- Screen resolution is on the low side though - text, and app icons can often look slightly jagged on the A20's display
- The performance powered by the Exynos 7904 chipset (similar to Snapdragon 632) and 3GB of RAM is fine in day-to-day use, but not quite up to the level of the best performers in this price bracket
- On the whole, while the A20 is a decent option for the price bracket, and does especially well with battery life and a decent set of cameras - however, it falls a bit behind in terms of performance, and is a mixed bag in terms of the display - AMOLED, but low resolution - you will find better all-round options from the likes of Xiaomi, Realme and Asus
|
- The power and the volume buttons are both on the right - the power button is easy to hit, but the volume buttons need a bit of a stretch to reach
- While the design is sturdy, it's also now a bit boring, with a lot of great looking phones now available in the budget segment
- One of the issues with MIUI in recent times has been the annoying ads in MI's own apps, and that still continues with the Redmi Note 6 Pro (these can be disabled but it's a complicated procedure)
- If you are a heavy gamer though, then the Redmi Note 6 Pro is no longer the best performer for it's price segment (like the Redmi Note 5 Pro was) - you will want to look at the Mi A2 or Realme 2 Pro instead
- Video recording on the Redmi Note 6 Pro is decent but maxes out at 1080p which is a bit disappointing, considering that other smartphones in this price range are capable of 4K video recording
- The phone also has support for Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 but Xiaomi only ships a 10W charger in the box - you will need to buy a quick charger separately to enable fast charging
- Uses the outdated microUSB port, instead of a modern USB-C port
- Having said that though, it's not quite a clear, outright winner as the Redmi Note 5 Pro was, simply because of the much tougher competition in this segment now - there is the Realme 2 Pro (has a much better take on how a notch should look like, and is more powerful with a SD660), the Xiaomi Mi A2 (No notch, Android One, all-metal design, SD660), Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 (better battery, arguably better value for money), and the Motorola One Power (Android One, better battery) - so all in all, there are lots of good choices around
