This is the first time, a Redmi Note series smartphone is going on open sale within weeks of launch. This might be due to the launch of Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 smartphone in the country this week and the recently-launched Realme U1 smartphone. In the first sale last month, Xiaomi claimed that it sold 6 lakh units of Redmi Note 6 Pro smartphones.
To Remind you, the phone packs a 6.26-inch Full HD+ screen with a notch, 19:9 aspect ratio, 12-megapixel camera with f/1.9 aperture, 1.4μm pixel size secondary 5-megapixel camera, AI features including AI portrait and AI scene recognition, 20-megapixel front camera with 4-in-1 Super Pixel technology, 2-megapixel secondary camera for portrait shots and has AI face unlock.
Other specifications are almost same as the Redmi Note 5 Pro, including Snapdragon 636 with up to 6GB of RAM, Dual 4G VoLTE, rear-mounted fingerprint sensor and a 4000mAh battery. However this comes with support for Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0, even though it comes bundled with 5V/2A charger.
