Just a few hours ago, Xiaomi has introduced their new entry-level lineup - Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A in China and everything about the new devices is as low-end as it is. The Redmi 6 is the superior variant of the Redmi 6A, which carries up to 4GB + 64GB memory while the latter is only using 2GB + 16GB memory.

As most new phones nowadays, the tech-specs may be low but the design looks quite good. Both the Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A have an 18:9 aspect ratio but the IPS display is only 5.45-inch in HD+ 720p resolution. It's interesting to note that the Redmi 6A doesn't have a fingerprint sensor like the Redmi 6, so it's only using an AI Face Unlock.
