Xiaomi Mi 6

Xiaomi, a well known brand in the smartphone and gadget industry is primarily known for their high value budget smartphones. The Mi6 is no exception. Like its predecessors, it offers quite a lot for its price.  For a start, it looks better than some flagships out there. The overall design is clean and simple. It features what Xiaomi calls as a 3D glass design. The edges are rounded on all the corners. It also features a glossy stainless steel frame. There is even a ceramic edition of the Mi 6 which looks even more stunning but is slightly heavier at 182 grams compared to the standard glass back edition which weighs 168 grams. It comes with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor which was first placed in the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus. The processor is accompanied by a whooping 6GB of RAM for some serious multi tasking. The Mi6 can be purchased with either 64GB or 128GB of internal memory, further confirming its flagship status. Due to its splash resistance, Xiaomi has not been able to include a card slot for additional memory. Its 5.15 inch Full HD IPS screen is still behind those 2k screens on other flagships but is reasonable for its price. Unlike Samsung’s approach to a flagship, Xiaomi hasn’t made much effort to reduce the bezels in the Mi6. In fact, the fingerprint sensor is still mounted on the front facing home button.
Like in all Xiaomis, the cameras are not that great. In the back, it features a dual 12MP camera with 4-axis OIS and phase detection autofocus. The cameras on the latest iPhones, Samsung S8 and Google Pixel will do better, which is quite evident in many comparisons done by various websites. On the bright side, it is capable of taking 4k videos. On the front is a 8MP camera capable of taking videos in full HD. The Mi6 is shipped with MIUI 8.0 which runs on Android 7.1.1. Other special noteworthy features are its Bluetooth 5.0 and USB type C connectivity. It has a 3350mAh battery and supports Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 4.0. The Xiaomi Mi6 is a decent flagship device, but there are quite a few issues which still puts it behind flagships from other well known brands like Samsung and Sony. The screen is sufficient, but it would be nice to see a 2k resolution AMOLED type instead of the usual IPS screen. The size is also quite odd. Flagships are usually around the 5.5 inch mark. Also, it would have been nice to see a bit of the Xiaomi MIX’s bezel-less DNA in the Mi6. The biggest problem lies in another lack, though. Like the iPhone 7, the Xiaomi Mi6 does not have a 3.5mm audio jack and relies solely on its type C port. The lack of a microSD slot and full water-resistance is also disappointing, as we’d usually expect this from an Android flagship. Sure, its price might be right, but the Mi6 still falls behind other flagships in terms of its screen and additional features.

88.9% Xiaomi Mi6 Smartphone Review | Notebookcheck
Insider tip. Anyone looking for a powerful high-end smartphone now, should take a closer look at the Xiaomi Mi6. For about 400 Euros (~$450), Xiaomi's flagship smartphone offers quite a lot, except for LTE-band-20 support. As our test shows, the sixth generation of the Mi series also cannot keep up with the high-end competition in one respect.
82% Xiaomi Mi6 is That Really Perfect Duel-Camera Smartphone Check This Full Review+Unboxing
Source: Igeekphone English Archive.org version
The Xiaomi Mi6 is really an insider tip among high-end smartphones. It offers top-notch performance and a really great camera, which does not look like an S8 but still outshines many of its competitors. That also applies to the front camera. The design is really nice, even if it attracts fingerprints, but it is very stable and high quality built and should be able to withstand a lot.Currently, only the microphone is negative. It's great to talk on the phone and you can barely tell the difference to other devices, but when recording videos, it seems a bit tinny and ups and downs could definitely be better. That's a pity since the Xiaomi Mi5s actually had a good microphone.

And that’s a good example of the sacrifice you’ll have to make with the Mi 6. It comes in at a price that no other flagship can beat, but you are going to have to make some big sacrifices. If you don’t mind them, snap one up while you can!

Xiaomi mi6 is the best smartphone according to its features. This is the mini DSLR with perfect camera results and if you know how to use the proffesional camera then this is the best device for you. One thing which Xiaomi mi6 lacks is audio jack and we know all high-end devices are not coming with audio jacks now.

Xiaomi Mi 6 review: Almost a no-brainer

It’s no secret that I wasn’t a big fan of last year’s Xiaomi Mi 5. I didn’t like how it performed, I didn’t like its camera and for the most part, I was quite annoyed that we got what felt like scraps instead of the proper flagship we hyped it up to be.

So even though we’d comfortably call it a pretty good device, its drawbacks are still something well worth considering: the lack of a headphone jack, the heavily customized MIUI, and the subpar screen are all potential dealbreakers that shouldn’t be dismissed easily.

The Xiaomi Mi 6 is a flagship phone with some outstanding areas and some weak spots. Considering the low price point, the phone still competes well with the best out there. Naturally, if you have $700+ to spend on something like the Galaxy S8 you’ll be getting a better overall package, but the Mi 6 brings great hardware down to a sub-$450 price point, and for some people that’s all you need.

Xiaomi Mi 6 review: A new beginning
Source: Android Central English Archive.org version
Simply put, the Mi 6 offers incredible value for its price. The phone has a stunning metal-and-glass design, along with build quality rivaling the best that Samsung and LG have to offer. It has powerful internals that outmatch flagships twice its price, and 6GB of RAM along with 128GB storage should be more than enough for most customers. The dual cameras add a new dimension, and the uptick in battery life is a welcome addition.

85% Xiaomi Mi 6 review: Great value for money, but buyer beware
Source: Zdnet.com English Archive.org version
For the price it's hard to argue with the Xiaomi Mi 6. The latest Snapdragon chipset makes it more powerful than you can conceivably need, the camera offering is solid, battery life excellent, design and build quality absolutely tip-top while the smaller-than-average package will appeal to those who think Android flagships are quite literally getting too big for their boots. The usual caveats apply when buying a device that's not fully vendor-optimised for the UK market, but for less than £400 something's got to give.

85.9% Xiaomi Mi 6X (Mi A2) Smartphone Review | Notebookcheck
Why spend a lot when you do not have to? The Mi 6X (Mi A2), the new mid-range smartphone from Xiaomi, offers everything a smartphone user might desire – and all that for less than 250 Euros ($293). You can learn in this extensive review how the Xiaomi Mi 6X (Mi A2) stacks up against the competition.
Xiaomi Mi 6X Real Hands on Review: Beautiful Promises In Photo With Snapdragon 660 ( Coupon Inside )
Source: Igeekphone English Archive.org version
Xiaomi Mi 6X is finally priced at 1599 yuan, and 6GB+128GB is topped at 1999 yuan which can be translated into about ($252.50) and ($315.67). In this price range, the main competitors’ products under the main line are generally lost to the Xiaomi 6X in terms of hardware parameters, but the main line of the Friends of the competing products does not have such a strong brand appeal.

Comment

Xiaomi:

Founded in 2010, Xiaomi Corporation is a Chinese multinational electronics company and produces consumer electronics and related products, including smartphones, televisions, fitness bands, power banks, headphones, smart devices and accessories. Xiaomi offers its products under the Mi, Redmi and POCO brands.


Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

Qualcomm Adreno 540: Integrated graphics card in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC. Slighly optimized architecture compared to the Adreno 530 but with higher clock speed due to the new 10 nm process. In the beginning of 2017 one of the fastest graphics cards for Android based smartphones.

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

Qualcomm Adreno 512: Integrated graphics card based on the Adreno 500 architecture, like the Adreno 520 in the Snapdragon 820. According to Qualcomm up to 30% faster than the previous generation (Adreno 510?). Supports DirectX12, OpenCL 2.0, OpenGL ES 3.1 + AE.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


Qualcomm Snapdragon:

SD 835: High-End SoC for smartphones that was introduced in early 2017 and manufactured in 10 nm LPE FinFET at Samsung. Integrates 4x Kryo 280 at 2.45 GHz (max) for performance and 4x Kryo 280 at 1.9 GHz (max) for efficiency. Furthermore offers an X16 LTE modem, ac-WiFi and a dual-channel 32-Bit 1866 MHz LPDDR4x memory controller.

SD 660: Fast mid-range ARM SoC with 8 CPU Kryo 260 cores (four fast 2.2 GHz cores in a cluster and two power saving 1.8 GHz cores) and a rather slow Adreno 512 GPU. Manufactured in a 14 nm process.
