Both phones belong to the middle class, although there is a difference in price - the new Realme 6 Pro is more expensive by an average of 3-4 thousand rubles.

The differences relate to screens, hardware, and batteries. The cameras on the phones are the same, but the Redmi 6 Pro has 2x optical zoom due to the telephoto camera.
Xiaomi is cheaper, and this is the first plus in favor of this “Chinese”. We go further.
Screens
Both phones have IPS screens with FHD + resolution. Realme 6 Pro has an unusual display - with a refresh rate of 90 Hz, which makes it possible to play animations at 90 FPS, which means that scrolling websites is smoother. So far, you won’t find video or games in 90 FPS, so scrolling is the maximum that shines for you. At least for now.
Matrix Test Results:
Realme 6 Pro (100% backlight):
- White brightness: 421 cd / m2
- Black brightness: 0.318 cd / m2
- Contrast: 1324: 1
- Color Accuracy: 1.5
Redmi Note 8 Pro (100% backlight):
- White brightness: 460 cd / m2 640 cd / m2 in automatic mode
- Black brightness: 0.347 cd / m2 or 0.486 cd / m2 in automatic mode
- Contrast: 1326: 1 or 1317: 1 in automatic mode
- Color Accuracy: 5.7
The screen on the Realme 6 Pro is better - it has a higher refresh rate and better calibration. On Redmi Note 8 Pro, the matrix is also excellent, but the departure of white in cool tones.
Autonomy
The difference in battery capacity is insignificant - 4500 mAh on Redmi Note 8 Pro versus 4300 mAh on Realme 6 Pro. Both models come with powerful chargers - 18 and 30 watts, respectively.
Test results:
Realme 6 Pro:
- Continuous Talk: 31:12 h
- Web surfing: 14:42 h
- Video playback: 14:01 h
- Charging speed: 68% in 30 minutes, 100% in 57 minutes
Redmi Note 8 Pro:
- Continuous Talk: 33:28 h
- Web surfing: 15:06 h
- Video playback: 15:25 h
- Charging speed: 39% in 30 minutes
In all usage scenarios, Redmi Note 8 Pro lasts longer; accordingly, in terms of autonomy, it is the winner. The advantage of Realme 6 Pro is faster charging, which is logical, given the 30 W adapter included.
