On the other hand, Redmi Note 9 Pro uses the newer Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G processor. Thanks to its smaller 8nm build, the Snapdragon 720G is more efficient in consuming power and lessens the chance of overheating. It also comes with newer features like Bluetooth 5.1.

When it comes to battery, this is probably the only area where the Redmi Note 9 Pro shines. It has a 5,020mAh battery, which is noticeably bigger than the 4,300mAh capacity on the Realme 6. Both devices come with 30W of fast charging.

The two shares the same cameras on the back. They both come with 64-megapixel main shooters and 8-megapixel ultra-wide. But to Xiaomi‘s credit, the Redmi Note 9 Pro does come with a slightly sharper 5-megapixel (vs 2-megapixel) macro camera and a 960fps slow-mo recording.

Probably the biggest lead of the Realme 6 is its smooth 90Hz refresh rate. This will make everything look really fast — from browsing the interface to playing games.
