Other than that, the Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro comes with a unimetal body, AI-powered cameras along with several other features that make it the perfect budget smartphone. On the other hand, the Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro essentially seems to be an upgraded version of the Redmi Y2 which was recently launched in India.
That being said, what we were really unhappy is the fact that the Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro still doesn’t come with MIUI 10 out of the box, which was introduced by the company a while back. On the other hand, there are a plethora of AI-backed features along with some nifty additions to the package which makes Redmi 6 Pro an unmatched package.

However, the Xiaomi Redmi 6 pro comes with a dedicated microSD card slot which means that users won’t be compromising on either an additional cellular connection or storage expansion.

If you thought that the artificial intelligence-integrated cameras are the end of AI-backed features that come in the Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro, well, it was just a piece of the whole pie. The Chinese manufacturer has made its in-house personal assistant available with the Redmi 6 Pro. While the smartphone comes with Xiao AI integration, the virtual voice assistant is said to be Xiaomi’s take on Apple’s Siri, Samsung’s Bixby, Amazon’s Alexa and Google Assistant. Moreover, if Xiaomi is to be believed, Xiaomi’s Xiao AI is smarter than all of the above-mentioned assistants.
