The Redmi Note series of Xiaomi has got so much attention that just a few days after being launched, the phone was hunted by thousands of people. Thanks to the success of the previous Redmi Note 3 and 4, Xiaomi could stand among the leading brands in the smartphone industry.
Xiaomi's Redmi Note 3 and Redmi Note 4
Early 2018, Xiaomi’s strategy changed with the launch of the Redmi Note 5 and Redmi Note 5 Pro.
The Note 5 Pro followed its successors to become one of the best-selling phones in its segment, but the Redmi Note 5 didn’t. The model has become such a challenge that Xiaomi finally decided to stop its production.
The Note 5 and Note 5 Pro have been on sale for some time now. The Redmi Note 5 comes in two versions 32GB storage/3Gb RAM priced at Rs 9,999 and 64GB storage/4GB RAM priced at Rs 11,999.
The Redmi note 5
Xiaomi had no difficulty selling the handset until the Redmi Y2 came out with the same price range, followed by the release of the Redmi 6 Pro as an addition to the company’s portfolio. It seems that the Redmi 6 Pro is an improvement from the Redmi Note 5 with better dual cameras on the back and a notched display which is almost bezel-less.
Apparently, at the same price, customers will choose the better phone, which means the Note 5 has recently lost its game. Therefore, there’s no questioning why Xiaomi decided to discontinue the Note 5 and focus on promoting the Redmi Y2 and 6 Pro instead.
The Redmi 6 Pro
Like the Note 5, the Redmi 6 Pro features the Snapdragon 625 processor. The phone packs a powerful battery of 4000mAh. The 6 Pro’s screen is 5.8 inches large, with the screen-to-body ratio of 19:9, full HD+. Its operating system is the Android 8.1 Oreo-based MIUI 10, which will soon be updated to Android Pie.
In terms of pricing, Xiaomi is selling the 6 Pro at Rs 10,999 for 32GB storage/3GB RAM version, and Rs 12,999 for 64GB storage/4GB RAM version.
