Specifications
The Xiaomi Mi 6 is powered with 6 GB RAM and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor. Even though, Xiaomi developed their first chipset, 'the Surge S1' on February 2017, they have used third party chipset in the handset.
It should be noted that Mi 6 is the first device from a Chinese manufacturer to be powered with the latest 10nm Snapdragon 835. The 10nm Snapdragon 835 processor offers eight CPU cores with a max clock speed of 2.45 GHz.
The Mi 6 has a 5.15-inch Full HD display. It has excellent dual cameras; 12 MP wide angle and 12 MP telephoto. It has a 3350 mAh battery for better standby time.
The device has both pros and cons on the audio front. Xiaomi Mi 6 has a pair of powerful stereo speakers located at the front of the device. But this time, Xiaomi has ditched the 3.5 mm audio jack which will not go well with many users.
The stylish and sleek features
One of the major highlights of the device is its stylish design.
Even though the basic look of this device is conservative, its glossy exterior makes it more attractive when compared to its predecessor, Mi 5s. The frame of this smartphone is entirely made of stainless steel, and it is splash resistant in nature.
This new flagship smartphone from the Xiaomi production house looks very enticing, and it is expected to create revolutions in the smartphone market in the coming days.
However, smartphone buffs are still unaware about the omission of 3.5 mm audio jack from the device. Share your thoughts on comment box regarding Xiaomi's decision to expel headphone jack from this flagship device.
