The Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 pro features a hybrid back panel of plastic and metal. On the other hand, Samsung has a reflective plastic back, which is a fingerprint magnet. To counter these trivialities and protection, you could slap on a cover or case. Xiaomi’s rear side with its metal finish feels more premium than the Galaxy M20’s.
