But only the Redmi Smart Band Pro supports the always-on display feature. We get silicon bands on both devices which are changeable. Here Huawei has gone with a buckle design while Redmi Smart Band Pro comes with a buckle-like design. 

Personally, I liked the Redmi Smart Band Pro because of its smooth curve display and along with that it also has thin bezels all around the display, when compared with the Huawei Band 6.

While the Huawei Band 6 has 6-axis IMU (accelerometer, gyro), and an optical heart sensor.

Whereas the Huawei Band 6 uses Huawei Health App. Comparing the ease of use and the user interface, Zepp life is a tad bit better than the Huawei Health but it basically depends upto the user. Also, the App for Redmi Smart Pro can be easily downloaded and updated from the Google Play Store or Apple App store. But if you are using Huawei Band 6 with an Android device, you might need to download the latest version of the Huawei Health app as an APK or via Huawei App Gallery.
