While other budget phone makers seem to compromise on user joy to pull down the price, Xiaomi doesn’t.

Specs and prices, flash sale and availability info below (differences between Redmi 6 and 6A highlighted in orange).

Yes. The Xiaomi Redmi 6 (above) looks a lot like the feature-toned down variant, the 6A. How to tell them apart: look for the dual rear cameras on the Redmi 6.

Both the Redmi 6 and 6A will also be available at Authorized Mi Stores in August 2018. Both Redmi models were launched alongside the Mi 8 (Xiaomi’s 2018 flagship smartphone) last July 18, 2018.
