In August this year, a model of the Redmi Note 6 Pro with a Snapdragon 660 processor was spotted on the Chinese microblogging Weibo.

Flipkart has already replaced the Snapdragon 660 SoC-powered Redmi Note 6 listing for the one with the Snapdragon 636 processor. But before Flipkart realizing their mistake, a tipster goes by the name Ishan Agarwal already managed to screenshot and tweeted the photo on his Twitter page. The Snapdragon 660 processor-powered variant has also been spotted packing a massive 5,000 mAh battery instead of the 4,000mAh one that comes packed with the existing option.
