Even with the cons, the pros are stacked with the price point leading the way. It might not be perfect as a flagship, but if you can get your hands on it, this amalgam of features could be one of the best bang for buck phones in existence.

This really is an amazing phone, and only the Chinese software puts us off recommending it for a UK audience. It is crazy fast, crazy beautiful and crazy priced. If you know your way around Android go and get one, and you won’t be disappointed.

Xiaomi Mi 6 review
Source: GSM Arena English Archive.org version
Xiaomi tried to put everything that's hot right now in a low-fare package and the resulting Mi 6 is an amazing phone for the price. Xiaomi's keen on making a statement with it and challenging the big names in the game. The way the Chinese go about it is probably not the most subtle but in terms of looks and specs, the Xiaomi Mi 6 is the best Mi yet.

If you’ve been searching for a smartphone with Snapdragon 835 that doesn’t break the bank, all you have to search for is Xiaomi. The Chinese tech company has been giving us the best specifications and performance for a certain price point like its latest flagship — the Mi 6. Launched just last month, the handset has 2017 flagship features you’d expect but not as expensive as the others. Here’s our review.

Xiaomi Mi 6 First Impressions
Source: NDTV Gadgets English Archive.org version
Xiaomi is yet to announce India launch plans for the Mi 6, though a representative told Gadgets 360 that there's no truth to rumours claiming that the phone won't launch here at all. We can expect the Mi 6 to be priced at around the same aggressive level as it is priced in China, in order to take on the popular OnePlus 3T.

Xiaomi Mi 6 first impressions: The $360 flagship
Source: Android Authority English Archive.org version
My first impressions put the Mi 6 in a pretty positive spot, as Xiaomi attempts to make their flagship the place to find the best specs and features in one place. We will continue our testing over the next week or so before we give you our full review.

Xiaomi MI6 Design, Hardware, Antutu, Camera, Battery, Feature Review(Included Video)
Source: Igeekphone English Archive.org version
Xiaomi MI6 is quite amazing in terms of design, its hardware is quite powerful, until now, no Chinese smartphone can beat it. As for camera, its performance can compete with that of Huawei P10 or Huawei Mate 9. But the most competitive factor is the price, Xiaomi MI6 only sells at least, 2,499 yuan, $400. By the way, you can use coupon code: GB9% to save money.

Xiaomi's new Mi 6 is impressive but not game changing
Source: CNet English Archive.org version
A premium ceramic version with 6GB RAM and 128GB onboard storage will retail for just a little more at 2,999 Chinese yuan (that's $435, £340 or AU$580). If you want to get one in the US, UK or Australia, you'll have to go through online third-party retailers.

Comment

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.

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

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


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. » Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


5.15":

It is a very small display format for smartphones. You should by no means be mis-sighted and you will generally see very little on the screen and only have a small resolution available. In return, the device should be very small and handy.

» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.


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.

82.73%: This rating is slightly above average, there are somewhat more devices with worse ratings. However, clear purchase recommendations look different.
