Specifications

As we look into the specs, the Mi 6 is rumored to sport a 5.5โ€ณย FHD display, just like its predecessor. The heart is to be powered by the latest Snapdragon 835 processor, similar to its rival the Galaxy S8 Plus. It is important to mention, Xiaomi is the second smartphone manufacturer after Huawei to produce its own processor. So, unlike Xiaomi Mi 5c the Chinese variants of Mi 6 might come powered by the in-house Surge S1 SoC. Moreover, a bigger-screen Mi 6 Plus with 5.7โ€ณ displayย & 8GB RAM is also rumored to be launched alongside. If rumors turn true, there is a probability that the Mi 6 might come embedded with an Iris Scanner placed above the display and an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor on the Home Button as well.

The images given below shows leaked front panel of the MI 6, where you can clearly see the space given for iris scanner, front camera, speaker, and a Home button ย

The standard version will cost 3199 yuan or $463, while the higher model should cost as much as 3999 yuan or $579 in particular. However, nothing is certain at the moment, it would be wise to wait untilย Xiaomi officialย unveils Mi 6 on 19th April.
