Apr 25, 2017

Xiaomi has announced its latest flagship phone, the Mi 6, at an event in Beijing.

The Mi 6 has a Snapdragon 835 processor, the top-end Qualcomm chip. Elsewhere there’s 6GB of RAM, a 5.15-inch display as seen on the Mi 5, and a 3350mAh battery. Xiaomi is also including a 12-megapixel dual-camera array that takes Apple’s approach of pairing the regular wide-angle lens with one of double the focal length.

The design is similar to the Mi 5 with its curved glass back and metal frame, though Xiaomi is highlighting a distinctive blue and gold colorway and the rear glass panel that curves along all four edges.

The phone packs a 2.75GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 paired with 6G of RAM. It is made using 10mn processor technology which comes as more efficient than predecessors. GPU is also rather impressive. According to the benchmark tests its Adreno 540 beats iPhone 7, capping at 64fps in video games. It also supports Vulkan 3D for a more realistic 3D graphics. The storage capacity is either 64GB or 128GB.

The main camera consists of a 12MP wide-angle sensor and 12MP telephoto sensor. The result of that offers up sharp and vivid photos. It supports OIS four-axis stabilization to reduce shaking and it can also cope well in low lights. Alongside that, there is a 10x zoom and a 2x lossless lens.

Mi 6 rocks up a 5.15-inch display with eye-protection. It is capable of reducing its peak 600nit brightness to 1nit at night and features a blue-light filtering mode. A great reading and viewing experience in sunlight is also guaranteed.

The way Mi 6 is put together is probably the most prominent feature of the device. A significant change in the design is ditching 3.5mm headphone jack. USB Type-C is the place to go now. It has a metal chassis with four-sided 3D curved glass and made wear and splash resistant. Mi 6 Exclusive Edition gets a ceramic back and 18K gold rims around the camera modules. The basic version comes in blue, white and black. Silver model is going to happen some timer later.

Mi 6 boasts a powerful battery of 3350 mAh. Paired with many MIUI power-saving modes it will easily last a day.

Congratulations. It’s a smartphone i like. By the way. To be motivated to continue this project, I have proposed that all the money earned from it be used to buy Xiaomi products. In conclusion.
