Xiaomi Mi 6 News and Rumors

Latest leak hinted that the Xiaomi Mi 6 flagship may launch on April 16. However, fresh reports claim that due to the non-availability of the Snapdragon 835 SoC, launch of the most premium Xiaomi Mi 6 variant will be delayed till May this year. But to satiate customers a little, Xiaomi will launch a Mi 6 with a Snapdragon 821 processor initially, and will wait for the availability of Snapdragon 835 to launch the most premium variant at a later date.

As for specifications, the most premium variant of the Xiaomi Mi 6 is expected to sport a Quad HD 2K OLED display with dual curved edges, a 6GB of RAM, 256GB of inbuilt storage, and dual rear camera setup. The most basic variant will sport a 4GB of RAM, and 64GB inbuilt storage. Previous leaks tip that the handset will house a 4000mAh battery and be priced at around CNY 2,499 (roughly Rs. 25,000).

Previously, we heard that the Mi 6 would feature the Snapdragon 835, but that it would be underclocked, meaning it just won’t be as fast as it could be. Why is this happening? Well, it’s complicated. Samsung co-developed the Snapdragon 835 processor with Qualcomm, and as such gets first pick of the fully clocked supply. Instead of waiting for supply to pick up a little, some manufacturers may instead opt to go for underclocked chips that Samsung may not want to use. This wouldn’t be uncharacteristic for Xiaomi, which launched the Mi 5 with an underclocked Snapdragon 820 in an effort to get the handset out sooner.

The flat Mi 6 is also expected to feature the same underclocked processor, but at a lower price, and the third Mi 6 variant will be flat but will house a MediaTek Helio X30 processor. The latter will be the cheapest option, if reports are accurate.

The flagship Mi 6 will likely have 6GB of RAM, while the other models may be stuck with 4GB. The flagship may cost around $363 for 6GB of RAM.

Information about the specs of the Mi 6 is sparse and often from little-known sources. There are conflicting reports that suggest a 3,000mAh battery, for example, while others say to expect a 4,000mAh capacity. If there are three models with various specs, it would certainly make sense as to why the information varies. All such information should be viewed with some skepticism until official announcements are made.

Other specs that have been suggested are support for Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 4.0, as well as a fingerprint sensor on the front of the device.

The Mi 6 has for quite some time been supposed to game Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 835 processor. The most recent bits of gossip from Android Pure, nonetheless, recommend that rather the organization will settle on the more established and lower-fueled Snapdragon 821. So, the bits of gossip show that there will even now be a Snapdragon 835 variation, which will be propelled once the Snapdragon 835 is more accessible.
