Xiaomi is doing a great job in the budget segment of Indian market by launching a new smartphone probably every month. Again they have launched three new smartphones called Redmi 6, 6A and Redmi 6 Pro. This is the welcome of Redmi 6 series to India. Initially when Mi A2 was launched and the lite version was not coming to India but now they just launched the Redmi 6 Pro here. The highlights are AU based face unlock, 18:9/19:9 panel, MIUI 9 and Android Oreo. As the Mi A2 lite is the same Redmi 6 Pro then why it matters to get launched now and not then at the time of Mi A2 launch.
