Business Standard: Chinese smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi is gearing up to launch the Redmi Note 6 Pro in India on November 22. The Flipkart-exclusive smartphone will go on sale from November 23. A successor to the Redmi Note 5 Pro (review), which was launched earlier this year alongside the Redmi Note 5, the Redmi Note 6 Pro is the first midrange offering from the stable of Xiaomi to boast a quad-camera module – two cameras on the front and two on the back. Compared to its predecessor, the phone also has a bigger screen with a notch on top, accommodating dual front cameras, earpiece and sensors.

What’s new in the Redmi Note 6 Pro
Compared to the predecessor, the Redmi Note 6 Pro gets two major changes. It has a new screen format with a notch and a different selfie camera module. The Note 6 Pro has a 6.26-inch fullHD+ (2280 x 1080 pixels) screen, stretched in a 19:9 aspect ratio. The screen is covered with a 2.5D curved Gorilla Glass for protection against accidental scratches. The phone boots Android Oreo-based MIUI 10 operating system with a support for gesture navigation.

Coming to the selfie camera module, the Redmi Note 6 Pro has a dual-camera module on the front. It boasts a 20-megapixel primary sensor of an f/2.0 aperture, mated with a 2MP depth-sensing lens of f/2.2 aperture. The selfie camera module supports artificial intelligence-based portrait mode and beauty mode 4.0. The front camera also doubles up as a biometric unit for the face-unlock mechanism.

Apart from the above-mentioned upgrades and changes in dimension due to a bigger screen, the phone is identical to the Redmi Note 5. It is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 system-on-chip (SoC), paired with either 3GB or 4GB of RAM and 32GB and 64GB of storage, respectively. The phone has a dual-camera module on the back, featuring a 12MP primary sensor of an f/1.9 aperture and a 5MP depth-sensor of an f/2.2 aperture. The phone has a 4,000 mAh battery. BS

After pro-Kannada organisations threatened to stall ' Baahubali  2' in Karnataka, veteran Tamil actor Sathyaraj has apologised over his remarks on the Cauvery water dispute while categorically stating that he would continue to support these issues as he is a Tamilian first and then an actor. While expressing his views via a WhatsApp video, the actor, who expressed his anuish over the Cauvery water issue nine years back, said that he does not want anyone from his upcoming movie 'Baahubali 2' to bear the losses. He noted,"Nevertheless, in the coming days be it Tamil people, Cauvery issue, farmers issue or any other issue, I would continue to voice my support against these issues." "And if anyone thinks that my statement caused any harm to the producers and directors, then I would request them not to cast this small, meager actor in their films. I don't want anyone to suffer any kind of loss because I would prefer to live and die as a Tamilian ...

Note ban distress leaves scant room for giveaways in Budget 2017

India Budget 2017 Jaitley is under pressure to offer tax giveaways and step up capital and welfare spending Prime Minister Narendra Modi's decision late last year to scrap high-value bank notes has put his finance minister in a bind ahead of the annual Budget next month. Arun Jaitley is under pressure to offer tax giveaways and step up capital and welfare spending to ease the pain from demonetisation, but the economic disruption caused by Modi's jolt has made forecasting next year's revenue outlook a stab in the dark. While indirect tax receipts grew by an annual 14.2 percent in December, a slump in consumer spending along with a contraction in services and manufacturing suggest the outlook is anything but rosy. Adding to his dilemma is a delay in launching a new national Goods and Services Tax that would replace a slew of indirect levies.
