In a tweet on Saturday, Xiaomi India shared an image with the words "Dual VoLTE's HD quality" followed by "Ab high-speed video data performance ki full-on guarantee." The teaser essentially reveals that the Redmi 6 lineup will come with dual 4G VoLTE , meaning you will be able to get 4G VoLTE connectivity on both the SIM cards. This feature was not present in Xiaomi Redmi 5 and the Redmi 5A.

Last week, Manu Kumar Jain, Xiaomi Global VP and Xiaomi India Managing Director, had posted a tweet that hinted at the imminent launch of the Redmi 6 lineup in India. While the tweet itself did not reveal the name of the smartphones, it contained a video that showed the number 6, with three smartphone outlines behind it. As per the video, two of the smartphones come with no display notches and the third one does, hinting at the Redmi 6, Redmi 6A, and Redmi 6 Pro.

The Redmi 6 series is the successor to the Redmi 5 and Redmi 5A, which were quite popular in India. Notably, Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A will differ from their China variants as they will feature Qualcomm SoCs instead of the MediaTek processors they have in their home market.
