They waited for: Xiaomi Mi 6 officially presented
Hi, Geektimes! The promised, as they say, they have been waiting for three years, but not in the case of Xiaomi - today the company finally presented its new flagship smartphone, which received the expected name Mi 6. What came out of it, and were the rumors confirmed? Let's understand under a cat.
The novelty, as expected, turned out to be a kind of such a “hodgepodge” of smartphones from other manufacturers, although Xiaomi managed to release something exclusive. For example, in Mi 6, the company managed to realize a two-fold optical zoom without loss of quality thanks to two cameras - wide-angle and telephoto, both with a resolution of 12 megapixels. Well, flash and 10x digital zoom with a four-axis optical image stabilization system, of course, also included.

Someone would think that we started a little bit wrongly (and where is the vaunted design of Xiaomi ?!), but it turned out that the camera became one of the main features of the Mi 6 smartphone. By design, we have a device with glass front and back panels (where Now one iPhone 4s has begun to cry, the edges of the glass are neatly rounded to all edges. Under the glass there was also a fingerprint scanner, at the ends - a USB Type-C port, speakers, as well as symmetrically located keys for changing the volume and a slot for a SIM card.
What we didn't find in the Xiaomi Mi 6 is the 3.5 mm audio jack. Yes, in Xiaomi, it seems, they decided to support the trend of Apple and abandoned the legendary minijack. Perhaps this was done for the sake of moisture and dust protection (IP67), or maybe just a marketing ploy. The benefit of the abundance of Bluetooth-accessories quickly solves this problem (if it can be called a problem at all).
But let's finally look under the hood: here the rumors were confirmed, and Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 “waves” with a smile waving us in the first commercial mobile processor, which is based on the 10-nm process technology. The eight-core chipset (Kryo 280) with a maximum frequency of 2.45 GHz, the processor has a small size and high energy efficiency (a quarter better than analogs). For the sake of reducing power consumption in the chipset, there are already four cores.
As for graphics, here it is Adreno 540 (again, with almost half the power consumption). RAM as much as 6 GB (LPDDR4X), the battery capacity is also impressive - 3 350 mAh.
Here, for comparison, the battery capacity of Mi 6 and the flagships of other manufacturers and competitors.
You should talk about the display separately. Screen size is 5.15 inches, the resolution is honest Full HD. The maximum brightness is 600 nits, and thanks to the dimming function, it can be reduced down to 1 nits. For reading in the dark it is. In general, the Mi 6 display is pleasantly surprising: the color rendition of 94.4% NTSC, 4096 levels of brightness adjustment, support for a special technology to reduce the blue emission spectrum, which is less harmful to the eyes. Well, this is yet to be verified.
Of useful additions are stereo speakers, 2x2 Dual Wi-Fi, 4G +, NFC and almost 185,000 points in AnTuTu, if, of course, for someone it is still a weighty criterion when choosing a smartphone.
Well, Xiaomi would not be Xiaomi if, in addition to the smartphone in blue and silver, it did not release a premium-class device - in the black version, with a ceramic case and 18-karat gold trim. Rich
And now about the most important thing. Sales Xiaomi Mi 6 will begin very soon, and on a special page, you can first find out when the smartphone will be available.
However, while the novelty is not on sale, you can look at the previous models from this Chinese company, which deserve no less attention - at least because they are now available with very good discounts. For example, Xiaomi Mi5s (our blog review at Geektimes ) can be purchased for $ 359.99 (if you don’t forget the Mi5SER coupon), and Redmi 4X is for $ 111.99 for the RedmiRX promo code. Well, the nail of the number is Mi Note 2 , available for ... we will not speak, just apply the MiNoteS coupon when ordering and be pleasantly surprised. All coupons are valid until April 30th. By the way, all three smartphones were presented not so long ago - during the autumn “smartphone fall” last year.
