Xiaomi Redmi Pro
The Redmi Pro comes in a gold- or silver-colored
brushed metallic unibody -- a real bonus at this price point -- and packs a
5.5-inch 1080p OLED display (with full NTSC gamut), a fingerprint reader plus a
5-megapixel selfie camera on the front side.
Flip it over and you'll find a Mi 5-like
curved back sans glass, along with a dual camera featuring a 13-megapixel Sony
IMX258 main sensor plus a 5-megapixel Samsung assistive sensor for bokeh
effects. Like many earlier dual-camera phones, here you can change the focus
point on the image even after capturing; and there's a dual-tone LED flash,
too. There's also a generous 4,050 mAh battery inside -- similar to the one in
the very recent Redmi 3S -- with fast charging via the USB Type-C port.
Likewise, the Redmi Pro has the same IR blaster as the Redmi 3S which lets you
control your TV and home appliances.
Given the base price point, it's no
surprise that the Redmi Pro is powered by a MediaTek chipset. The base spec
starts with the 10-core Helio X20 plus 32 GB of storage and 3 GB of RAM (1,499
yuan/about US$ 225), followed by the faster Helio X25, 64 GB of storage plus 3 GB of
RAM (1,699 yuan/about US$ 255), and capping with the same chipset, 128 GB of
storage plus 4 GB of RAM (1,999 yuan/about US$ 300).
As with most Chinese and Indian
smartphones these days, the Redmi Pro is a dual-SIM 4G+ device (VoLTE
supported), though you can also use the second SIM slot to add a microSD card
instead.
