Redmi 6 Pro — the top-end model in Xiaomi’s new affordable smartphone range that was launched last week in India — will go on sale in the country for the first time today.

Fans, of course, will have to be quick in adding the smartphone in the cart because it will be available in limited quantities. Key features of the smartphone include AI Face Unlock, dual VoLTE support, 4,000mAh battery, and dual rear cameras.
