The Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro against his brothers: Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A

When a new Redmi family comes out, doubts always appear as to which device to buy. They are 3 models that although they have their differences, tend to be the same device but with small variations. In this case they are more pronounced, but regarding design and memories.

The Redmi 6 and 6A maintain an austere design, with “reduced” frames and a body that reminds us powerfully of other devices such as the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5, Redmi 5 Plus, and so on. Removing the camera layout, these two phones are practically identical. The real variation comes in the Pro version.

To start, we have a larger screen and also the controversial notch on top. A decision that many will not like, but that Xiaomi has taken in order to further differentiate its increasingly large variety of terminals. The camera is arranged in a vertical format and in terms of design is the greatest variation we will see.

It is in the hardware where we find major differences. While the 6 and 6A stay with the MediaTek Helio P22, the Redmi 6 Pro goes up to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 625. This processor is not much new in the market, but it will surpass any task in performance, granting more stability than MediaTek processors.

Where we see the biggest chasm of difference is in the memories. In the case of the Redmi 6 Pro and 6 standard, we see that we have variations between 3 and 4 GB of RAM and 32 and 64 GB of internal memory. The 6A takes the access memory with maybe too short 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal memory, all expandable with microSD cards.

In addition, in the battery we have the standard of 4000 mAh for the top phone staying at 3000 for the rest. The screen also suffers a upgrade important, staying in HD for the lower models and going up to Full HD in the Redmi 6 Pro. All with 18: 9 ratio.

If you can, go for the Redmi 6 Pro

With this we do not say that the Xiaomi Redmi 6 and 6A are bad phones, much less. They offer us more than decent hardware for the price we are paying. But seeing the characteristics of each and making a basic scale, while all in a classic average price of Xiaomi, we strongly recommend that you go for the Pro model.

The price increase is not considerable, and the improvements are substantial: we have more screen, much more battery and above all we have better memory settings, 6A being suitable for a basic user. Obviously this depends on your needs and your tastes, but if you want a phone with this price range, do not hesitate: go for the Pro model and you will get rid of problems.
