Xiaomi launched its Redmi 5 series back in December
2017 and the Redmi Note 5 Pro made its way to India by February. In five days
the country will finally get to see the next iteration of the affordable Redmi
series, and one of the phones might be the Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro.
The Note variants aren’t announced yet, but already
appeared at numerous listings, including the EEC. Information coming from Weibo
suggests the Redmi Note 6 Pro will make its way to India and will be powered by
a Snapdragon 660 chipset.
The post, albeit already deleted, sounds plausible
since this is not the first leak from this exact Weibo user. He also suggests
the phone will have two memory variants - one with 3 GB RAM and 32 GB storage
and another with 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage for consumers wanting extra power
and willing to spend a bit more, but still own an affordable midranger.
If the Snapdragon 660 chipset rumor is real, it
would come as an upgrade over the SD636 in the Redmi Note 5 Pro. This means the
phone would switch from an octa-core Cortex A-53 CPU at 1.8 GHz to four Kryo
260 cores at 2.2 GHz and four more at 1.88 GHz.
