Xiaomi Mi 6

The Mi 6 is the successor to Xiaomi's highly popular Mi 5 handset and was very recently outed in China a few days back. This is China's only smartphone that features a Snapdragon 835 chipset, making Xiaomi the only company as of yet to have such a device in its arsenal.

Coming to its other specifications, there is a 5.15-inch display and has a 6GB RAM alongside an Adreno 540 GPU supporting the chipset. The phone has been fashioned from stainless steel and has a four-sided 3D glass intended to give off more rounded corners.

The Operating Software working inside the Mi 6 is the MIUI 8 one, that is based on Android 7.0 Nougat. Apart from that, it comes sporting an 'eye acre technology' that has been put there to reduce the strain in the user's eyes, particularly after a long use of the phone.

On the optical front, the Mi 6 comes loaded with a combination of two 12MP lenses on the back (one wide-angle - and one telephoto) that offer 4-axis OIS, while on the front, users can make use of the 8MP snapper for selfies and other uses, that is also capable of recording 1080p videos.

Capping off the specification chart is a set of two stereo speakers present at the top and bottom of the phone, while a 3,350mAh battery keeps it alive.

The phone is currently available in China and is expected to hit the global market soon. The Xiaomi Mi 6 best price in India is expected to be around 23,599INR.

Recent teardowns have revealed that Xiaomi attempted to secure the Mi 6 against water, yet the USB port omits any kind of seals and is left completely unprotected.read more →

The Mi 6 has a 5.15-inch screen with a 1080-pixel display that looks good to the naked eye. Pixel density isn't as sharp on paper. The Mi 6's glass and stainless steel frame stand out. The phone comes in the standard shades of black or white plus a much snazzier blue-and-gold version that's visually stunning.

One of the Mi 6's key features is its dual 12-megapixel camera setup, which is a hot trend these days.read more →

The Mi 6 gets a lot of things right — powerful hardware in the form of a Snapdragon 835, dual rear cameras with 2x optical zoom, and a gorgeous metal-and-glass design, all at a price that's nearly half that of the Galaxy S8. The phone isn't without its drawbacks: availability is limited to China, and there's no 3.5mm jack. That said, the Mi 6 is Xiaomi's best showing yet.read more →
