The Mi 6 will be the next generation in Xiaomi's line of flagships, the current one of which is the Mi 5. Estimated to arrive in the first half of the year, the flagship will pack a punch in terms of battery, speed, and design. Indeed, the upcoming handheld will be a contender in the market, but will still be fairly priced.
According to NDTV Gadgets, the Xiaomi Mi 6 will be launched in two variants, the first of which will have a flat screen and a second that will have a dual-curved screen - the latter of which is being called the Mi 6 Pro. The standard option is estimated to come with 4GB of RAM and as much as 128GB of internal storage. Meanwhile, the higher-end variant will sport 6GB of RAM and 256GB of built-in storage.
In terms of power, the publication notes that the Mi 6 and the MI 6 Pro will be supported by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor. To provide this much power, Xiaomi has reportedly installed a 4000 mAh battery for the handheld. Meanwhile, Qualcomm's Quick Charge 4.0 technology will allow users to get as much use of the device as possible.
And while the screen design is a page out of Samsung's books, Xiaomi might also take inspiration from the iPhone 7 Plus when it comes to the camera. The Mi 6 is apparently going to be fitted with a dual camera at the rear. However, specifications of the camera were not mentioned.
The Xiaomi Mi 6 is expected to retail below US$300. Meanwhile, the Mi 6 Pro will cost more at around US$360. The company has always been about giving their customers more for their money and it looks like this will only continue. The unit has not received an official release date yet, but Ubergizmo suggests that it might arrive sometime in February.
