Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro camera test

According to our legit sources, the Redmi Note 6 Pro launch in India on November 22 replacing Xiaomi’s best-selling Redmi Note 5 Pro. Eight months later, the Redmi Note 6 Pro is not a significant upgrade with the same Snapdragon 636 chipset. Furthermore, the handset offered in 4GB and 6GB RAM variants with 64GB storage. Most notably, the camera has improved a lot as we have camera samples to show the improvement below.

As we learned, Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro camera relies on a 12+5MP dual rear camera unit (f/1.9), which is the same resolution as its predecessor. Meanwhile, a wider aperture and larger pixels support more light and better photos. On the front, there is a wide notch cut-out to house a 20+2MP dual camera unit for better selfies. Whereas, other photography features include AI scene recognition, portrait mode, Dynamic Bokehs and more.

AI mode

As it concerns, the Redmi Note 6 Pro take visibly better photos than its predecessor. Meanwhile, the image processing is better with more vibrant colors. Whereas, the AI-mode works to recognize scenes like buildings, greenery, flowers, etc. Overall, the photos look quite good, although the white balance was on the warmer side. However, highlight clipping is seen when the light source is too strong. Meanwhile, the AI Mode does not tweak the shutter speed or ISO that enhances the colors in post-production. Besides, the feature managed to recover some details in the shadows.

Low-light Mode

Though we believed the Redmi Note 6 Pro does not quite match up to that quality, it did leave us mildly surprised. In details, the photos taken at dusk had a pleasant hue of orange and blue since the lights on the buildings were discernible. Furthermore, the details like the name of the building are not clear at all. Whereas, there was a pro-mode helps the user with the ISO and the shutter speed. Besides, ISO setting above 1600 would introduce more noise than details.

Portrait Mode – Dynamic Bokeh

Otherwise, Xiaomi has introduced a couple of new features. Furthermore, the background blur is assisted by the 5MP secondary sensor that calculates the depth of field in the frame. On the other side, the secondary camera used a second lens and software to enhance the bokehs. Notably, the Dynamic Bokehs animate the background blur with a few options to save the animated bokehs as standalone images or videos.

Front camera

Besides, the front 20MP+2MP dual camera gets the 2MP secondary sensor used for depth sensing. Meanwhile, the primary 20MP sensor can bin four pixels into one super-pixels. On the other side, the pixel size on the front is 0.9um. By binning four pixels into one, the sensor creates five 3.6um pixels to capture more information when the light is poor.
