Xiaomi Redmi 6A - User Reviews

  • It's upgradable to Android 9, MIUI 11.

  • How move apps to SD card

  • i think that is not last update but idk i see next year in 1q or 2q

  • No, Android 9 is the last update for Redmi 6a.

  • Is normal cpu released 2018 its not like snapdragon but good

  • mtk a22 is good???

  • Redmi 6a will get android 10 next year?

  • not really a22 is much better than ur snap425bla bla a22 is a good chipset from mediatek i have this and for me this is good for back up phone and play games like ml cod ros pubg and aov

  • I got it too. I'm from Colombia

  • Today i get miui 11 global update

  • You can't move all the apps to SD.

  • Which day Redmi 6a will get miui 11 update?

  • Pls advice how to move applications from phone memory to sd card?

  • Do we can move apps from phone to sd card?

  • I dont have problem with lag and cpu normal my phone 16gb rom so need more but im happy with phone i playing cod mobile and all ok

  • Using it for 3 months now, for this price, totally worth it. Positive: B attery life, it can last up to one and a half day with average usage Screen is really good, you can see clearly from all sides with no problem, also the brightness is pretty good. Build is good, dropped it many times, screen is holding pretty good. Negative: CPU lacks a bit, when multi tasking and lagging, not too impressed with it. Also, mainnoard, CPU, GPU (and overall hardware) heat up when playing heavy games, which really kills the performance.

  • What is your region? My europe and i have android pie i think all region have will ge android pie

  • Ummm... I didn't get in Romania any Android 9 update

  • Finaly i got a pie update

  • Ive been using redmi 5a,6a,7 and note 7. Redmi 6a the best compared to 7. Even though using mediatek,it smooth than snap 4++. Been using for grab and not lag. If using 5a and 7,it seem lag. Had to restart over and over again. Now update to miui 10. Dont hv any complaint for this cheap model except for camera.if u want good camera,use note 7. Fyi,grab apps for driver is using too much ram.u can see in ram section. But for 6a,its kind of smooth. Highly recommended for apps using heavy usage of ram. I also play ml in 6a. Doesn't seem lag compared to 5a and 7

  • i got pie update ..

  • This mediatek chipset is new than your tetris but its not problem use this phone if you want snapdragon buy redmi 7a, redmi 8

  • Lag and face lock work sometimes only

  • I love xiaomi brand and been using it since 2015, but i have to say this is the worst phone in redmi series ever... I bought it as a second phone and was hoping that it is usable device... I actually didnt noticed that it has mediatek chipset, coz redmi 4a and 5a have snap... my mistake... i think my tetris from the 90's would hang with this a22 chipset. My old redmi 3s with custom rom and android pie is like formula1 compared to this ford taurus shite. Still love Xiaomi, bet redmi 6 and 6a must be recycled into plastic bottles for cheap beer.

  • This phone upgradible to android 9. My redmi 6a updated to 9.0 and run on android 9

  • It didn't get Android 9 sooo... No

  • Redmi 6A will get android 10 or no?

  • camera not bad, nice phone for my granma

  • Im update in august month my country (Lithuania) europe region

  • I updated my Redmi 6A to Android 9 (Pie) and I've been using it for couple of days and all I can say is that the phone is wayyy more optimized it works smooth like no Lag, but the battery life is a lil bit weaker its not like it was on Android 8 (Oreo)

  • How? Where do you live? Because probably only in your country is.

  • Probably yes, probably no

  • This phone will get android pie update?

  • At least in Romania isn't

  • not in all region work face unlock, if you set singapore region face unlock work

  • There is face detection in redmi 6a, bro.

  • I highly recommend buying this phone if you've got only 100 euros in wallet. Good phone! :)

  • Who update to android 9.0Pie?

  • Go for 7a; It's like 6 by performance, but for everyday use, Snapdragon octa has better behaviour.

  • Redmi 6A or Redmi 6?

  • Why no fingerprint scanner and/or facial recognition?

  • Then buy another phone. Recommend you Huawei. Even I don't have any problem with it.

  • It's a very good phone in this price.

  • Iam not recommending this phone,I have it over 6 month and at the begin this phone was amazing but right now it is peace of Shi* I have all the time lag and battery drain fast, screen not always touchable and after backup Iam not receiving any updates

  • How to get Google Play to recognize this device? Keeps saying I don't have any devices. Downloaded Google Play apk, Netflix apk and maybe another but nothing will operate. Please advise.

  • Im updated to android 9.0

  • I cant change network mode to 3G or 2G in redmi 6A, even the operator supports these generations.

  • I Bought the phone 1 month back. now the touch not working. service centre people says due to water get inside.But i Didnt take the phone out when there is rain. They didnt give the guarantee. They ask me charge equal to that of the phone for repairing, Am desperated with this mobile .Some others share me same complaint. Beware

  • i buy this phoen and is ok .......i love it...so much xiaomi redmi 6a............loveeeeeeee it

  • Dude this is Chinese phone you have adjust yourself . If want quality better than this purchase Motorola or Samsung's

  • do not believe any site , you yourself check SAR Value by downloading the app

  • In this website SAR value shows .66W/kg but when I check SAR value in my phone it shows 0.74W/kg

  • This phone receive android pie?

  • Whats your phone region, maybe your phone have only chine language, update phone and check

  • Why redmi 6A after i rebooting the language is turning to chinese ..im not understand

  • Why redmi 6A after rebooting the language is turning to chinese.?.im not understand

  • Not to bad if you set it properly!

  • back 13mp camera quality is too bad comparing to its front camera 5 mp back camera quality looks like nokia 6600

  • Needs to be soon

  • My mom uses this phone for like 5-6 months and the battery drains out quickly (even with 3000mAh), the phone has some lags but now it hasn't these problems. Recommend!

  • Does anyone having problem at videos? When watching videos it's automatically become ridiculously sharp which i hate it. Because it's destroy the quality. Is there an choice of disable it?

  • Why didnt working instagram on Redmi 6a? After updates..

  • This phone upgradable to android 9.0 and MIUI is User interface not os and 10 version and i think miui can upgrade to miui11 but this phone have upgrade to android 9.0

  • I have this phone around two months. I like it. But sometime my xiaomi redmi 6a just freezes. It freezes for a few seconds but it happens.

  • newer . xiaomi only updated miui no android

  • When update to android 9.0?

  • Agree. It's an awesome deal for its price, but the only thing that bothers me is that Xiaomi went with Mediatek on the 6A (rather than the Snapdragon, like with the 5A or 4A), which means the Project Treble custom ROMs are not so stable like they should be...

  • This phone is actually really good - (for me personally) the Redmi 6A is even better than some flagships! Well worth it to get it!

  • Can we install Google Camera on the redmi 6a Mediathek?

  • Does this phone come's with Wi-Fi calling Feature?

  • Is the camera that bad?

  • in MIUI 10.3.2.0| Stable

  • redmi 6a 3gb or redmi note 4x 3 gb

  • In which miui version u r in?

  • Yes use share it.

  • Here: LTE band 1(2100), 3(1800), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 34(2000), 38(2600), 39(1900), 40(2300), 41(2500) Speed HSPA 21.1/5.76 Mbps, LTE-A (2CA) Cat7 300/150 Mbps if you click expand on the network bit, it shows this info :)

  • Guys, I need help with my new Redmi 6A. I got it on CN ROM and I was trying to install google play from the default CN Appstore but it just keeps on load and nothing is being downloaded. Can I transfer google play from other devices thru ShareIt?

  • support cat7

  • How fast 4G on this phone ? And does it support cat6 ?

  • This phone is meant for lite user. Although it has 2g ram, u cannot use it for heavy games and open up multiple apps. For normal everyday use like watsapp, utube, simple apps it works flawlessly with no hiccup. Good battery life, easy UI and bright screen. The bads are the camera focus abit lagging even bright day, poor speaker and durability.

  • How much RAM is free after fresh reboot in 6a????

  • Does this phone works in Canada & Europe?

  • Sluggish updated software on the phone. Not for heavy-moderate use. Even my older leeco s3 x626 is tons faster but then again, its also a gaming phone.

  • Just miui... no one no shit -_-

  • does this phone have Android One version? or just MIUI, TIA

  • I am sorry no its not a crap ....it's the best in its price and rams is not every thing ...i am super fan of xiaomi telling every body about it and unfortunately redmi 6 and 6a don't reflect the best of xiaomi.....

  • back speaker very bad.

  • Fantastic phone.Osum battery backup.osum net speed.works superb.love it thank you Xiaomi.

  • diffiecult to install google frame

  • Have used note previously and still using it. Phone is working still good as it was been purchased. Similarly used 6A and still no issue since 7 months. The only thing is that, prefer to buy phone from MI website rather than having it from any other websites.

  • My battery life is amazing on this phone, literally using it only for texting,social media not playing games,every night I have at least 30% battery left,also screen on time is 9h 30mins with gaming it's 6h 30mins

  • Battery is very poor, very bad experience with Mi.

  • Download APPbackup software in your phone and try with it

  • You can block those ads. The option is given by xiaomi. You have to go into settings of each app and block them. Search on youtube, "how to block miui ads". You are welcome.

  • It is a good and Lite smartphone

  • New update fixes bugs. Youtube lag less.

  • Nice User interface MIUI 10 new version 10.2. (Stable) look nice and comportable.

  • Redmi 6A. within a month this phone suddenly vibrated 2 times without set of vibration. surprise is it was vibrating continue after power off also. I contacted everytime customer care technician but they cant resolve this danger problem. so, all of phone lover be aware from Redmi 6A.

  • Impossible, It Requires Root

  • I've bought mine the last week of december/2018 and it's pretty good for its price. Most of the intermediary Samsung phones are absolutely disapointing due to their high price not being compatible with what the phone offers. It's a good smartphone for daily and moderate use. Satisfatory quality on both cameras for photos and videos (of course, if you're not exigent with perfection), enough RAM to run mutiple apps, acceptable battery. So far, so good and I hope to keep mine in use for the next years. And always remember: This is an entry smartphone with some touches of an intermediary. Don't expect it to be a machine powerfull enough to even make your coffee and clean your clothes, ok? PS.: Changing region will install some apps and more bloatware. If you have done this, make a backup and factory reset it. It's the only way to remove then, unless you are familiar with rooting.

  • Ads exists in everyone phone. And Xiaomi is 4th in the world brand phone. This model by price good. I think Xiaomi is good alternative by price and perfomance. I have Huawei and this phone good is 3th in the world and perfomance i think better than samsung or apple. So we have good alternative smartphones Huawei and Xiaomi by price ,perfomance and technology better camera, fast cpu with AI and etc... if you choose apple you pay for brand but if you choose xiaomi you save money and have good phone

  • Very Disappointed. So many ads poping , cheap Chinese phones. No way to block ads. We must prefer stock android which is free from ads . miui is useless battery charging takes much time than expected and drains fast

  • not possible....only for rooted devices..

  • 'ads' are there but u can turn them off by unauthorising an app called 'msa'(you can google for more details)...i also heard that if you change your region to Europe or some thing instead of India, Indonesia etc you will not get any ads..please try i no longer have this device but i have tried the first method(i am from India) and it works....

  • hi guys..pls help me how to transfer downloaded apps into sd card....thank you for the help

  • I HAVE A QUESTION.... are there any annoying ads in redmi 6A? Gsmarena reviewed and told us that there is a lot of bloatware and those apps pushed notification with ads constantly. Is there anyone who faced such kind of problem? Thanks in advance.

  • I'm in order to buy this item is this quite feasible? : (

  • I have download 5 games in 2gb ram after two weeks it get lag,when we go to home when we play the game But nice design , beautiful phone I love it I think it's getting lag because of 2gb ram ,3gb one is better i think.

  • i have sold this phone.. and got myself a realme c1...

  • Video 1080p@30fps. Clear.

  • Xiaomi redmi 6A or Moto E4 plus

  • Can this phone play H.265/HEVC 60fps?

  • Totally Redmi 6A

  • redmi 6a or micromax b5 pro which is better option

  • i am a redmi 6a user but will definitely recommend nokia 5.1 as it is a android one device with stock andriod

  • Would you recommend this or the nokia 5.1? I can't decide

  • Redmi 6A or nokia 5.1?

  • are you looking for a stock android device or customised android ui like miui which is used in redmi 6a...bcoz not everyone likes miui...some people prefer simple stock experience.. i am using this device and for me its best value for money... main advantage of this device is gallery, file manager,app lock, memory cleaner, themes, call recording, currency converter, compass etc is built in , so you don't have to download separate apps from playstore.. for normal usage like whatsapp, face book this phone is enough..camera is also good as it have manual mode and lots of filters and editing options...

  • I just bought this for my mom. She mostly use it just for whatsapp, fb, youtube, web searching & taking lots of pictures.The interface is nice, the screen and camera are very crisp & clean too, size on the palm is just nice, no lag. I think this phone is actually more than enough, even for light browsing to be honest. All is good for the price tag, so.

  • why do u wait?

  • Hi, I want to buy this for my mom. like no games, light internet browsing, just facebook and messengers, more talking on it. it's cheap, so I like it because of it. should I buy this or search for anything else?

  • it will take a long time..redmi 5a got updated to oreo only recently..

  • I'm waiting for android 9 pie update ..... is it a long time?

  • Previously Ericsson sued Xiaomi in 2014 but now thats all cleared up Redmi 6a was available in india

  • Nope 6A has no IR blaster

  • Yes and no 6a support otg but 6a has no ir blaster

  • 6A has no ir blaster so no

  • Only Face unlock so no

  • Yes but lower graphics

  • You need to unlock bootloader or else it will brick

  • Does the phone heat up?

  • in 'settings'----------additional settings---------languages and input----languages----

  • how to change chinese language to english lang.?

  • u have to unlock the bootloader....otherwise the phone will brick.

  • Can i switch from Chinese to global stable rom?

  • Yes it does I have the same issue with the phone don't know why.

  • Is this phone good?

  • yes it does. read in spec 3.5mm jack = yes. audio jack is still cheaper than usb type c audio adapter.

  • yes it supports volte..u can use 2 jio 4g sims at the same time...

  • What it is volte support?

  • Yes it does have a headphone jack

  • Video Quality is very bad

  • hi... i never noticed this...i rarely use youtube...using mx player for videos..

  • Does it have a head phone jack

  • Guys wanted to know if the display becomes too much sharp while playing movies/videos in general, even 360p video on YouTube doesn't please my eyes. If there's any solution please suggest, also is there any way to make display less sharp more smooth?

  • only for rooted phones

  • Go to Programs, choose an app and "Move to SD" if there is such an option for that app.

  • Is there a way to install apps on SD card? If anyone knows please share,

  • is ' vibration on tap ' off

  • no gyro from redmi 5a onwards

  • Guys I'm having an issue of my 6a, I already turn off vibration mode, but opening the phone from a pattern screen or deleting app, the phone vibrates. Could any one tell me how to stop this. Answers would be appreciated thanks.

  • The only problem i have on this phone so far is frame drop on youtube when i watch 720p60fps videos. Can someone tell me why?

  • guys, this pone have gyroscope?

  • yes the chipset is much better than the one used in 5A..no heating at all i have used both redmi 5a and 6a....only ir blaster is missing in 6a

  • they provide the update region wise...u have to wait

  • Gotcha. But do u know when they'll provide OTA update?

  • what i mean is just wait for the OTA update for miui 10 to be shown in 'updater'....sometimes manually downloading rom does not work

  • It isn't available yet?

  • youtube lag now lesser..i am using beta rom

  • just wait for official miui 10 china stable rom OTA update

  • I bought this phone few days ago. Its pretty fast and nice for the price (115 euro), it has nice IPS LCD display, good sharp camera. But i noticed some issues with the youtube app. Immediately when you start the app, phone begins to lag. Other than that, good bugdet phone, and waaaay better than Galaxy J series

  • I just bought a redmi 6a china rom device. It has the miui 9.6 china stable rom installed on it. I went to check for update it says no update available. Then i downloaded the stable china miui 10 and went to flash through recovery and it gives me a error like "Can't verify update. Rom is still in beta" although i downloaded the stable version twice. What do i do now?

  • some times it lags on youtube and yes 16 gb of storage is enough

  • youtube lag is still there but much less now after update....for heavy users 16gb is not enough

  • Does it lag on youtube? And the 16gb storage is enough?

  • why???.... the huawei model have an old chipset whereas 6a got a 12nm brand new chipset

  • much better than 5a

  • Xiaomi for sure,the Huawei it's not good, trust me ;)

  • Screen on time in this device?

  • Redmi 6a is better because it has Helio A22 that has AI and 12nm processor

  • Im waiting for Redmi 7a next year.I hope that Redmi 7a will have SD439.

  • for me Huawei better than Xiaomi |Redmi 6A

  • there's no volte option.

  • there is little lag since 2gb is not enough for smooth miui operation...i have kept 'clear cache' option to '10 minutes' which means phone itself closes running apps after some time.

  • nope. I just bought it yesterday and it works pretty well on basic functions. 2gb ram was promising

  • Guys which is better Huawei Y5 Prime (2018) or Xiaomi Redmi 6A?

  • check 'sim card setting' enable volte

  • Does it lag while general day to day tasks and multitasking. Concerning its 2gb ram

  • There is also version with 32GB and 2GB RAM

  • how to enable Volte?

  • since google stuff are built in its very difficult to get rid of it..you can try to disable it via playstore...you can also restrict internet access to google apps.. to disable google apps via playstore 1)open playstore 2)select 'help & feedback' from the left topmost button 3)select 'delete or disable apps on android' 4)select 'tap to go to application settings' 5)disable the google apps like google movies, google app, maps, gmail etc 6) but you cannot disable 'google play services'

  • no all models have face id

  • Brother purchased and its 100 euro cheaper and better than my 2year old broken 200 snapdragon 410 lg broken waterdamaged phone. Būt how to turn off all Google spying stuff.

  • Thanks a lot for your inputs!

  • hi, does the face unlock applies to all of this model or depends on the country's manufacturer? i am thinking of buying redmi 6A 2gb/16gb. pls help. thank you appreciate it

  • you can also check out realme c1 if screen size is okay..its better than 6A

  • all three models are inferior to redmi 6A...the processor (12nm) of 6A is very battery efficient and produces less heat. all others are built on 28nm processors

  • changing to beta rom solved the issue..thanks any way

  • Which one is better among Asus Lite L1, Yu Ace, Redmi 6A, Honor 7s?

  • Yeah. You can.

  • Can this phone run PUBG??

  • You can just press the power button once for you to be able see the screen display to end the call or hang up hope it helps.!

  • today i updated from stable miui 10 to beta rom 8.1.11 ...lets see if proximity sensor issues have disappeared

  • in my case while on call the screen does 'turns off' when the phone is close to ear but does not turn on when the call is completed..because of this i cannot end calls from my side and has to wait for the other party to end the call..then only the screen turns on.. quite annoying..hope that a software update will solve the issue.

  • Same problem I am facing..

  • Does anybody facing any proximity sensor issues? Hardware is fine however the screen doesnt turn off. Checked the hardware through *#*#64663#*#* (Service Menu). Please suggest

  • inyernal memory 3/32 & 2/12 come in different prices

  • Not exactly, 16gb version has 2gb ram, and 32gb has 3

  • buy redmi 6

  • Well the phone is good for a 100 euros. Helio A22 exeeds my expectation, and it is little better than snapdragon 425. But the GPU is not that great. The camera is good, better than the camera on redmi 5a, but video quality is average.Youtube also lags alot. Now i don't have the 3gb model, it is only 2 gb for our market. You can play PUBG on the lowest settings on this phone, but the games with size of 300/400mb can be played with higher or the highest resolution. Overall, it is good phone, but it needs optimisation for some aplications. It is pretty shame that this phone comes with good processor for the price, but with average GPU.

  • its has 2gb ram nor 3gb

  • Just got the phone , MiUi 10 is nice, Full Screen Gesture Review. YouTube app is lag and delay when scrolling up and down the featured videos. The rest is decent, Phone is worth the price than SAM J series. Now I'm patiently waiting for the MiUi 10 update.

  • Does this device has OTG ?

  • Bcuz many features are missing like finger print sensor etc...

  • Why

  • For a budget smartphone I think its great! Face unlock, 3000 mAh battery and a 3 GB RAM with MediaTek Helio A22 processor

  • See, frankly speaking, I am in love with the device. The price point is just amazing to get a 12nm chip by MediaTek. The looks are also pretty good!

  • good if don't do any gaming ...chipset is good(12nm so less heat) but GPU is not...

  • i want buy this phone. its good?

  • Worst phone of xiomi

  • what about pubg

  • Redmi 6A getting MIUI 10 update in india.

  • no i am using a black one...

  • Black color is available. I have bought the same

  • I just read its specs and does not have a black color. But i just ordered online a black one. Does it mean what ive ordered is fake??

  • No, only face unlock

  • Does it have a setting for Premium SMS on and off?

  • Back option not working please update

  • double tap the phone ,face unlock will unlock it immediately

  • no it doesn't but more optimisation is required...but the GpU is not good

  • their is fingerprint

  • is this available to connect to 5G mi Wifi?...

  • I don, t get why you complain its very cheap

  • Does it become slow after updating to miui 10?

  • Xiaomi Redmi 6A is a unique and powerful camera capturing phone to take amazing shots and picturesque sceneries which names this phone an amazing one. The camera is backed with MediaTekÂ’s advanced Imagiq technology that delivers a sublime photography experience. At its heart lies the Helio A22 processor which makes thios phone faster as it based on a 12nm architecture.

  • does face unlock work without pressing power button

  • very good phone with good price...no need fingerprint cuz got face unlock

  • there is face unlock mode....go to lock sreen & password>add face data

  • All these features are quite impressive. The best part is the battery powered by MediaTek's CorePilot technology at 3000mAh and the light-AI enabled MediaTek processor-Helio A22 responsible for all the operations in the phone.

  • I just bought the phone 1 day ago,and I there was no face unlock available but after changing the region to India there was face unlock available,I updated it to MIUI 10, There's a little bit of lag in the YouTube app,but still usable,also full screen gestures are laggy,but I'm not using them,btw the phone its pretty fast, responsive,good camera, for that price its absolutely amazing =)

  • No

  • Can apps be installed in SD card?

  • Good.Always use original charger.

  • what about charging?

  • no

  • Stable u said How about YouTube does it scroll buttery smooth?

  • Redmi 6A has the best features ideal for multitasking, heavy gaming at just a round off figure of 7K. Propelled by MediaTek's Helio A22, it supports an advanced camera for sublime photography and visual experiences when gaming. It pairs four ARM Cortex-A53's operating up to a super-fast 2.0GHz with a 30% faster CPU and a 72% faster GPU for a consistently exceptional user-experience. The battery alone stands at 3000mAh and it supports VoLTE/ViLTE in both the sims whether 4G, 3G or wifi. It focuses on a highly power-efficient design capable of Cat-7 (DL) 4G LTE speeds, while MediaTekÂ’s TAS 2.0 smart antenna technology uses the best antenna combination to provide optimal signal quality at lowest power use. All these premium features below 10K!

  • Yes it does have face unlock. =D

  • updated to miui 10 stable

  • yes

  • Face Unlock Availability? :)

  • I agree with you. YouTube experience is really bad on this phone.need optimization.

  • yes i agree...i also bought one....but the chip needs optimisation...no heating because of 12nm chip....samsung j6+ and j4+ are big jokes..lol only threat for 6a is realme c1 which is really good for 6999.

  • Well, i bought this phone couple of days ago, no complainmants yet. It is pretty fast for the price ( not the fastest one) and i think it is better then most of the Samsung J series and some of A series. What did you expect, an Iphone 10Xmax for 100 dollars?

  • Hahaha Play fornite with 2gb ram on Android.. Dude that is not possible for this phone ... Because i own one and the software experience is bad for me especially when open youtube app.. scroll through list of video is sluggish as hell. But i believe this phone will get better soon, wait till MIUI 10 update in the future MIUI 9 on this processor is just worst...

  • 6A no IR Blaster, 5A have IR Blaster

  • IR blaster available in redmi6A ????

  • i think ill buy this and play fortnite in the future

  • Yep

  • Are you currently using it?

  • The vibration intensity has been increased since Redmi 4A. No worries there. :)

  • Does it has True VoLTE (DSDV) feature?

  • *Plz help me with this * How is the vibration intensity of the phone? I am planning to buy this for my father and the phone he is currently using ia also from mi and its intensity is pretty low. He misses calls everytime when he is driving, etc. So plz tell how much it vibrates when call comes.

  • Someone help, please!

  • Over All Comparision between MI 4A and MI 6A, MI 4A is better choice, the phone 4A is excellent in all aspects.

  • My global version 32gb, has only 2gb ram. But, works ok for this price

  • Dual 4g sim work this mobile

  • I can't read micosd card in my phone

  • yes

  • It ships with a 5V/1A charger. I hope 5V/2A charging is supported?

  • Very bad phone, saw someone return it to my brother's shop after two days of usage. Complains are, very sluggish, laggy and power hungry (which is no surprise since the phone use Mediatek, avoid this chipset at all cost!!). My advice is either get Note 4 (Snapdragon 625 which is still a good phone even in 2018) or Mi A1 instead.

  • Yes but what did you expect "90$"

  • good spek

  • Just got it right now, the global version. It's very laggish.

  • Have you even used it? I own Redmi 4A and Redmi 6A and Redmi 6A can't even run normal applications smoothly, lags like hell and forget about playing games on it. On the other hand Redmi 4A has no such problem. It is a very bad processor. It's just the benchmarks that show better performance but in actual it is the worst phone performance wise I have ever used.

  • Xiaomi please give lunching offer to redmi6a

  • This chip is actually preety good its a 12nm one not the old crappy 28nm, is it on par with the latest Qualcomms? No but its closer! And it sure beats 28nm Snapdragon! :D

  • Snapdragon is not always the best lol.

  • It has dedicated memory card slot. It does not use hybrid slot (i.e. sim 2). Pls update the specs.

  • Mediatek processors require more energy than Snapdragon processor. That's why they consume more battery and heats a lot. And finally about the performance, Snapdragon is the best.

  • P22. because it is based on new technology

  • Snapdragon 425,because processor is a heart of mobile.Snapdragon is best always.

  • Which is one good. Snapdragon 425 or mediatek helio A22.

  • It is now available in bd

  • Can the phone connect OTG.

  • When it available in Bangladesh?

  • 91.81 EUR in Banggood at the moment - 2/16 GB

  • Xiaomi Redmi 6A for sure has Black, Dark Grey and Gold colors. Definitely price is higher than EUR90 (at least in the early stages)! Memories for EU stock are 32/2GB RAM and 16/2GB RAM!!

  • LOL

  • Per Kimovil, Antutu 55,277 for 2/16 version which is pretty amazing, due to Android 8.1 and 12 nm process technology I guess.

  • How much the device got at Antutu?

  • This mobile phone look like Huawei Y5 2018 (prime).

  • xiaomi 6a or samsung j3(2017)? which one to prefer, almost at the same price...

  • I have been watching the price for the 6A pretty closely so today it dropped and I bought one (International seller). I like the powder blue color, the Antutu score is amazing given it's memory, and I think the battery will be great. The big unknown is audio output, which gsmarena reports so well when they do a full review. The Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite got great marks, while the Xiaomi Mi 8 SE got poor marks.

  • Redmi 6A: Higher clocked processor larger screen Better resolution display bigger batter cheaper Samsung j2 Pro Super Amoled better than LCD Easier to get if there's no Mi stores where you live

  • which is better, redmi 6a or samsung j2 pro?

  • Redmi 6a support volte or not?

  • Redmi 4A: IR, gyro Redmi 5A: IR, no gyro Redmi 6A: no IR, no gyro Good job Xiaomi

  • The price is too expensive at AliExpress. Almost the same at locally.

  • Shadowgun legend performance?

  • Gpu performance?

  • could you call with the phone in america?

  • tqvm for ur reply seem like r6a is worth to buy im going to buy it! tq again

  • Yes, it is OTG capable. The battery performance is also great, it lasts me way longer than my old redmi 5A. I've had no problems with signal or GPS, signal and GPS has been the same experience with all my previous phones

  • Where is review? Come on...

  • question for redmi 6a users: is r6a supporting usb otg? how is the battery performance? since it comes with 12nm tech is the signal reception okay? GPS? coz many xiaomi/redmi phone has signal problem pls ans.. thxx..

  • After using it for awhile Pros: - 5.45 inch display is great -Battery life is great. As a heavy user, it lasts me for 3/4 of the day. PC mark battery test gave me 10hrs and 25 mins -Pubg is playable on the low settings with no noticeable lag. - camera is way better than the 5A but there is some noticeable lag sometimes Cons - 18:9 aspect ratio means black bars on videos and apps - Pixel density ain't that great - Apps like YouTube have lag when switching videos

  • GPU?

  • 12nm SOC using 3000 battery must better than 28nm SOC using same 3000 battery.So guys no need worry about battery performance.Relax...

  • 3000mah is never a bad feature. Even if you're not considering the price tag of 90$.

  • Does it have electronic camera stabilisation?

  • No, because this soc using 12nm technology to made it.

  • Redmi 6A @ 2gb_16gb selling RM349 on Malaysia market as soon as 25_7_2018.

  • Awesome xiaomi redmi 6a

  • Will it get heat?

  • Euro dud, not dollar

  • Xiaomi Redmi 6A in Reality_ by suman smp ,(from westbengal,India) Good features--- *Comes with faceial Recognation. *New Quardcore Mediatek helio a22 2ghz Proccesor. *big display 5.4. *Based on Android Oreo 8.0. *New generation of MIUI. *Low cost smartphone. Bad features--- x Not with fingerprint sensor. x Weak battery Capacity(3000mAh). x Not Support Infared port. x slow facial Recognation. x Doubt On Usb OTG support. Thank You

  • Does Redmi 6a support usb OTG and InFared port??? plz answere me...thnx in advanced.

  • Very good for $90 ! Happily no hybrid which in a plain language means you have to buy another smartphone !!! Hybrid in any brands means quality killer....

  • Maybe its MTK issue. Good points compared to 5a.. the screen quality is much better, the contrast/black levels are far superior and amazing for budget LCD. Camera also seems a bit better. However battery drains fast in standby, lots of awake time. Speaker quality is a bit better. Performance + battery need optimization then its a must buy.

  • Or, more likely, MIUI issue with MTK...

  • I have both Redmi 5a and Redmi 6. Redmi 6a has 4x2ghz a53, Redmi 5a 4x1.4ghz a53, however Redmi 5a is smoother and faster. Strange. Maybe its MIUI issue with Android 8.

  • What about infrared port does it have it and for also did this mediatek chip support dual sim dual volte...

  • I see it... Soon: * Helio A25 ARM Cores A53 at 2.5 Ghz Power VR GE 8320 at 600 Mhz 12 nm * Helio A30 ARM Cores A55 at 2.2 Ghz Power VR GE GE8340 at 600 Mhz 12 nm - Snapdragon 800 like performance

  • Mediatek Helio A22 is the latest budget chipset it has 4 Cortex A-53 cores clock at 2.0 Gigahertz

  • Not for gaming,just a basic smartphone.Good for basic use.

  • Yes indeed but the teasers said it use SD625

  • Me too, I have no idea about this especially gaming performance. I just checked it yesterday about A22 chipset and still have no idea

  • No Infrared port?

  • under 75 USD, it is best option to go with

  • Depends on which childs. Boys for sure some action packed games which are difficult for hardware of the phone but in case of girls games like idle miner or some monopoly or simcity this should be enough.

  • i am not erderly nor child.. and i use phone for job and this is quite perfect phone for that... but actually child needs faster phone beause it wants to play games

  • Awesome smartphone Redmi 5A and Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A ❤ Good performance and good battery backUp

  • It's not using SD 625

  • Great phone for cheap money. Great device excellent for elderly and childrens as a first phone.

  • I dont get it why you complain? Like its something important having USB C or Micro USB

  • The speaker too

  • Why a mediatek processor?

  • For parents use r perfect.New 12nm built in soc with 2.0 quad core.

  • Helio A22? So this is the new entry chip that was not announced? Quad core? Errr.. At 2.0Ghz? mmmm... Power VR? Interesting... 12nm? Ok, now this is interesting to test

  • so it has the identical body with Redmi 6 except the camera & the fingerprint sensor?

  • xiomi has a big battery

  • I bet till 2020 Xiaomi may still use SD625 and people like U will buy it.

  • look at motorola, lg, nokia, and samsung. their budget devices still uses 2016 or 2015 chipsets. at least xiaomi uses a mid-range chip for their ultra low budget phone

  • Another xiaomi with snapdragon 625, seems ok

  • Why not?

  • do you think in this world there are only rich people?

  • do you think in this world there are only rich people?

  • I don't get it. Why would anyone want to buy a microUSB phone in 2018?

  • Xiaomi launch redmi 6A as redmi 6 in India.i think this phone cost around 8000 to 9000.

  • I hope they will release it soon. I want to buy a new phone for several months, but I don't like big ones. This one looks great (although still not small). I bought Redmi 5 plus (because it was on great price - 143 USD), but after 1 day usage I gave it to my wife. Specs wise it is perfect.

  • Perfect Size for me. I want a 5'5 inch phone but i want the 5 inch body. Good specs too. The SD 625 is still capable for today games and apps

  • Well this will be a lot more cheaper.

  • Same spects in all Xiaomi phones! A1, Redmi note 4, note 5, redmi S2 and this!

  • After all the iPhone X like Vertical setup of cam and LED flash in the middle, it's good to see a horizontal camera setup.

  • good for hardcore gamers who doesnt have much money.

  • Still use SD625 ? I wonder how many stock Xiaomi keeps for this chipset

  • i'm proud to write 1st comment on this! all i can say that Xiaomi is growing day by day..
