Xiaomi Mi 6 - User Reviews

  • Phone power ic died after using for 1 year 10 months. RIP MI 6

  • how's your signal guys,, do you have strenght it? how many bars do you have?? 🤔

  • I bought the 3GB/32GB version in July 2018 in Yangon, Myanmar, before the model was introduced in India. Generally, it is a good and sturdy handset, but I intensely dislike the MIUI 8 OS. It simply does not allow Google Address Book, as it promotes its own address book. Another irritant is the Chinese language apps. I am not sure if these issues have been addressed and resolved for this handset sold in India.

  • Well, I have different opinion. For me, if price is not concern, Xiaomi Mi 6 is the choice, but if the option is dislike MIUI ads, not improvement in MIUI, better go for iPhone 7.

  • Mi 6 in my region is become rare now. Available also the price is expensive. Other option I guess choose Mi Mix 2 if you don't like notch.

  • The mi6 is better

  • What would you recommend me to buy an Iphone 7 or Xiaomi mi6. I don't care about the camera and the battery.

  • I have upgraded from iPhone 6 to Xiaomi Mi6 4GB/64GB, I have been using it for more than a year and overall I'm happy with it but there are a few cons: 1) Vowifi is not available on this phone and activating VoLTE is complicated. 2) Camera. It's just mediocre if you don't want to deal with installing roms and special camera apps. 3) LTE Band 20(800MHz) is missing, which is necessary for wide coverage especially in rural areas and some gsm operators use this band more often than others.

  • I have been a user of Xiaomi for several years. I upgraded to Mi 6 since I thought the camera must be good giving it's specs. However I am really disappointed, and no way agree with the camera review posted on your website. The camera of Mi6 is just not practical for daily use

  • i have the phone for about a year now and i can say that i love it , the camera is fast , the fingerprint is on the quick side and most amazing thing it will get upgrade to android 9. i use poco launcher and it works like a charm , google launcher isn't supported. if you want a good phone you can buy this or poco.

  • Worth it. Button is not physical. It is fingerprint detector/home button, does not click.

  • where??

  • I had redmi 4x and broke it, Ordered A2 lite but I'm not satisfied, too big for my needs, does buying this phone in 2019 worth it?? It's still pretty expensive.. I like its size and those physical button, that everybody ditched in 2019

  • While using both sim does one sim support 4G and second sim support 3G. Is this problem i am facing or anybody else.

  • May i know is anyone faced gps cant lock issue?

  • 18 months in, and it's still going strong. It's still as fast as the day I got it, and the same goes for the fingerprint reader, it's blazing fast. It's still getting frequent updates as well. I'm going to replace this phone soon though, because the screen to bezel ratio is pretty wasteful of screen real estate. This phone could have easily had a 6 inch display, and still have a chin. I am really going to miss the LED light feature, as it seems as the bezels get smaller on phones, the LED light goes out the window.

  • This Phone Is Now 250$

  • Change the charger or charging cable. With the QC Charger that it came with I charge it from 30% to 90% in 20-30 minutes.

  • Ok, so here's the thing. I was very skeptical of Xiaomi Mi 6, especially because it's not that known as few brands are. Totally understand I trusted other brands more, because they are on market for a long time, plus they spend millions and millions to manpiulate people into buying. Because I'm not an idiot to go for 400€ + cellphone I went for simple cellphone Xiaomi Mi6. After 1 week of usage i'm impressed how fast it charges, how long does battery last and the overall quality of the cellphone for the price. I'm now good for at least 4 - 6 years. I do totally recommend Xiaomi mi 6. If you are smart get Xiaomi and go out with friends and have fun with pint of beer, face to face.

  • I have this mi 6....its A great handset... Only i find it not getting charged soon but it last for a long time. Take A lot of time toh get charged

  • yes.

  • i bought this phone two months ago, ceramic variant, i can say, it is a very fast phone with good design but crappy ROM and cheap hardware. i have a button problem, the down volume button is stuck i have to use button remapper app and the power button works occasionally

  • It will get Pie update,but that is everything that will get. Better take pocophone f1 for that money.

  • In Saudi Arabia, It is still about 308 USD. Do you think it's still worth buying and can be used for another 2/3 years?

  • Its waste money.many more fault its automatic brightness options use blink the mobile so do not buy

  • Of course Mi6 better compared to P20 if you talk about performance but not camera. If you talk about camera P20 sure beat Mi6

  • I'm in Rwanda having Mi 6, it's good even in appearance

  • Hi guys I have M6 Note and wanted to upgrade to Mi6 for performance and size But I am concerned about the camera .. so is it better or same compared to M6 Note or Mi A1 ? Thanks

  • This phone still good for 2 or 3 years again?

  • Yes for sure, i am already on Oreo and yes it will get MIUI 10 :)

  • Mi 6 is a beast , design is great , material is very good , feel premium in hand , super fast performance , super fast charging ever see , battery is great and efficient for normal use or medium usage , no heating , software and user interface is very good for me MIUI is the best , rear cameras are very good even in low light and indoor , front cameras not good but it did the job , over all it's a real flagship

  • HAHAHA come on , how can u say that? Mi6 is a beast but its not better than p20

  • a little bit heavy, but compact in size.

  • Mi6 is better in comparison with redmi note 5 the only advantage that the note 5 has over the mi6 is the battery ,for sure mi6 is fr better performer and has slightly better camera

  • i6 is far better choice as it uses high end snapdragon chipset , for p20 the huawei kirin is based on mediatek chipsets which are designed by lower quality compared to snapdragon to reduce cost and to be used in mid range priced phones

  • hey guys, huawei p20 or xiaomi mi 6?

  • Can somebody tell me the battery performance of mi 6? While playing. And, which is better performance mi 6 or note 5? I having difficulty in choosing which to buy.

  • Hi guys. Can any one tell me. Does mi6 is heavy ?? because iam very annoyed. Why 168 g ???!!!

  • i prefer mi 6

  • Guys .. which is better nokia 8 64 gigs 4 ram.. or xiaomi mi6? ..pls help

  • Why no more available mi 6 in Myanmar?

  • Thanks

  • Hi! It's a super fast smartphone. Runs everything you want from play store. About de cameras, front facing is only average, forget about it in low light conditions. The rear cameras are good cameras, you can take beatiful shots with them, even in low light. In total darkness, even with the flash, the quality is just average, like the best midrange smatphones. If you use the manual settings can get much better photos. Hope I helped you! PS: owner of a ceramic version. Best smartphone I've ever had, overall.

  • Hi ... How to rmove Mi Acount Mi6

  • will the mi6 get 0reo update + miui 10 anytime soon ??

  • Xiaomi has launched miui10 for xiaomi phoned that supp.band 20

  • I want to ask about the camera quality, front facing and back in both good and low light conditions .. compared to other devices .. I have Mi A1, is it better or worse ? in both cases ? or compared to Moto G5 Plus or G5s Plus .. ? thanks

  • What about the low light photo quality of this phone? Also i wanna know this phone getting any security pathes?

  • Thank you!

  • Bluetooth headset

  • The phone is outstanding in terms of performance and reliability, but a bit downside to the camera not as clear as Samsung / Leica Lens. But im amazed by its ability to handle high performance games, smooth like a hot knife through butter.

  • Any of Mi 6 owners please tell me how is your experience with this phone. Please include Low light experience and camera resolution Battery life Phone performance, speed and temperature Is it rare needed bringing it to the repair shop? If I did not include anything please still tell if you have any issues. Is it worth its price or would you replace this with a phone which has better/same specs for the same price? Please tell anything based on your experience and not the specs. Thank you so much!

  • Get a wireless headset/headphones

  • Why its miui 8.0 only??

  • I'm also thinks the same. Unfortunately, this is the fate that gives for all smartphone that doesn't have headphone jack... Anyway, maybe theres a dongle for it but I don't prefer phone without headphone jack and those dongle looks very ugly! Why don't just they integrated this jack onto their cutting edge phone? This little guy don't make our smartphone looks old! So why?

  • Guys is there anyway to use earphones while this device is charging?

  • How is camera portraits? Such as other performance?

  • Does this device receive monthly or quarterly security updates or during miui updates? Thanks :)

  • 1. For that money ... the phone is perfect. If you want better camera buy Huawei P20 Pro or Samsung galaxy S9+ (But they cost x3). 2. About the software ... i'm with Version: V9.5.6.0.OCAMIFA (MIUI9) GLOBAL ROM (don't have OTA update ... do it from the site). There is a ROM on a zip file ... flashing is so simple that may be kid will do it without any problems. 3. Camera on daylight is makeing awsome photos, low light ... is not so good (seeen worst) ;) May be if Xiaomi make some improvements on the camera software things will get better. Naaah ... ok ... so the selfie camera obviosly sux ... admit that ;). 4. As i am listing the smartphones market today ... i see phones with lower specs than Mi6 for double or even triple price. So tell me ... will you buy new phone with lower specs than you have now .... but ... wait for it ... a little bit better camera. 5. For ppl like me who doesn't have the money for S9+, P20 Pro and other phones with 1000 Euro price ... solutions like Xiaomi Mi6 and Oneplus 5T,6 for flagship class phones are verry good. And about middle class smartphones as i am seeing Xiaomi taking the market with models like Redmi 5 Plus, Mi A1,2. I'm starting to soulnd like a cultist ... so i stop here :)

  • Mi sells phones and forget updates to OS. It updates only its UI version. And there are no security updates. Android phones become vulnerable after 1-2 years if not updated.

  • Why miui version not updating ??? Its miui 8.0 only??

  • very relevant comment

  • Worst phone ever mi all phones are very bad worst phones Waste of money And mi service center and there workers are also worst and liers

  • Mine just stop working. I plugged on charger just before lie down to sleep and at the morning when I woke up my MI6 was dead. Even the led that indicates that it is charging does not light up.

  • Is the white variant discontinued? It's very hard to find. There's only the black and the blue variant.

  • You probably have the 4GB variant and usually 1GB is taken up by the OS. So that is why you only have 3GB free.

  • are u serious low cam ???

  • Brother hard reset your phone i think after update some buitlin apps eating ram. Mine is perfect 4gb is free all time

  • Its claiming that 6gb ram so called but only 2.5 to 3gb is free available no apps i have installed yet

  • dont buy mi 6 if you want to use for selfie.u will just cry.low light and indoors camera is so bad it make the redmi note 3 camera in low light and indoor good.but in daylight shot mi 6 is good.

  • dont pick mi 6.its not worth it .if you want selfie

  • Largan lens click far more better picture quality than sony lens. For comparison you can check photo of Micromax Canvas A111 by zooming which is only 8 megapixels and feel the real picture quality and compare with any other 8 mp camera phones. I hope Xiaomi will jump towards Largan lens.

  • mi 6 all day long

  • Which has a better Selfie Camera? Mi 6 or Nokia 8 ? I am buying a new phone today, the winner would be my pick

  • Which has a better selfie Camera, Nokia 8 or MI 6?

  • One of my better decisions i made was buying Mi 6. Would recommend it anyway over Nokia 8, Oneplus 5 etc purely based on its price, and specs are literally the same. Its a no brainer in my opinion.

  • MI6 or Nokia 8?

  • Neither

  • Its doesn't even have headphones jack!

  • (Mix 2) or (Mi 6)?

  • Go for Mi 6. its size is compact and feels premium compared to OP 5

  • Sometimes the browser is blocking, touchscreen is ded and the phone restarts without to do something, all after last sw update. Has somebody the same problem?

  • Does it has inbuilt radio?

  • Upgradable to MIUI 9 & Android Oreo. Please update these info.

  • mi 6 or op 5?

  • Yes,as I said.Improved with algorithms.Also have 16 mpx against 8 mpx on mi 6.

  • Well,mi note 3 have better cameras. Back camera is improved with algorithms,and front camera have 16 mpx against 8.Also have better speaker and better sound quality on earphones.Also have bigger display,but same resolution and lower pix.Mi 6 have better procesor and graphic.Also mi note 3 is 80 € cheaper.Its your choice.

  • Guys, is it true Mi Note 3 has an improved camera compared to Mi 6, what do u think???

  • Mi 6 of mi note 3? why?

  • Yeah I got the same bugs and if you see the miui website this update was withdrawn for whatever reason .... Weird

  • Mi 6. this is compact and more faster with SD835 chipset.

  • Mi 6 or Samsung c9 pro

  • Best Phone, best split view mode for onehanded usage.

  • unfortunatelly the camera is still bad, Oreo didn't help.

  • check their miui forum app on the phone if u have signed up for it

  • anyone got the latest Xiaomi update 9.2.30 and notice the slow down in the finger print reader , getting 2 notifications for 1 email and cant quick reply to whats app msg?

  • now update to oreo for mi6 can be downloaded at en.miui.com/download.html i am mi 6 users and love xiaomi products

  • does it support project trebble?

  • it's already available, i downloaded

  • How about news update oreo on mi6?

  • The algorithms only related to the potrait mode, so Mi note 3 produces better bokeh. While performance on pictures capture and video recording are same.

  • Your phone will get lag when storage almost full

  • The camera is better on mi note 3 than on the mi 6,cause of algorithms.

  • Still no LTE Band 20 (800) in Xiaomi flagship? Otherwise almost perfect phone but without good connectivity it's useless in Europe.

  • it's fast phone but very bad software with lag and some strange things like the bluetooth not open easy and the wifi turn off automatically some times i don't why the screen not very good the screen freez some time when incoming call app like what's app can't get notification when phone is locked it junk phone when i sent report to the company i can't receive any replay and the problem not solve the company here in Egypt can't have any accessories don't buy

  • Just go for mi note 3 dude...dxomark score 90..their company claim mi note 3 camera almost same with mi 6..screen just lcd not as good as AMOLED display but it's just ok...as far as my experience using this device sometime when play a games it's heating a bit..it's normal..but not overheating

  • How is the camera quality, screen display and the heat issue?

  • Just give my opinion..if u wanna feel high end flagship n not waste for money just go for this beast..or wait upcoming mi 7

  • Nope sir 64gb is more than enough

  • You wont be worry if your phone runs out of storage, at least.

  • Even s8 had much expensive than mi 6, but you will get what you paid for.

  • FM Radio?!

  • mi 6 is by far better

  • Please which is better mi 6 or Nokia 8 in terms of general performance

  • any wireless earpiece or headsets can be used by xiaomi devices

  • No smartphone with no sd card slot will less lag than a phone with support sd card slot

  • That's what we say u will get with what u pay :)

  • Then just use ur S8, do not compared not everyone is stupid enough to buy high priced phone, and u compared it of course it will rise up.

  • every wireless headset works with the mi 6

  • Mi6 is 330 euros and s8 is 525 euros on amazon

  • mi 6 is friendly phone for everyone, less expensive

  • how much is s8 compered to mi 6?

  • No headphone jack is a deal breaker for the mi6

  • I bought it and found that XM6 doesn't have a chance to beat S8. No headphone jack, no IP68, no microSD card slot, good camera but S8 is far superior, battery 3000mAh on S8 almost performed like 3350mAh XM6, even S8 use QHD while XM6 uses FHD, S8 has bigger screen while XM6 has smaller screen. Performance is better on S8, XM6 is good but not snappier than S8. I had both so don't judge me as Sammy fanboy.

  • I had S8+ with 128gb storage and equipped with 256gb sandisk uhs-I card, compared to your mi 6 with 128gb storage and no microsd card slot, which phones will be lag first? absolutely your phone!

  • The demand for mi 6 in south east asia countries increases. Specially in Indonesia. Lot of retailers out of stock although the flagship doesnt come in official distribution

  • In multitasking, yes.

  • Mi 6.Cause is cheaper,have better camera,it's faster and etc.

  • It depends on what you want. Better gaming performance, MIUI goodies, go for Mi 6. More Software and Android Updates, Stock Android, go for Nokia 8. Mi 6 has better value but Nokia 8 has more future proofing. And if you have a vacation on some places, Mi 6 won't be able to get LTE as it is missing Band 20 but Nokia 8 doesn't.

  • Dears, I Need a recommendation; Mi 6 (6 giga) or Nokia 8 (4 giga), & why?! Thnx

  • If I really had to use it (let's ignore the part where the phone you replaced was probably worth more than the card, yet you were fine with "throwing" that too), just put it in a USB-C cardreader and enjoy your card in the Mi6 through the USB OTG capabilities...

  • How about, listening to music? Is there a wireless headset for this mi6? i really want it.

  • does xiaomi mi6 oreo update fixes the camera problem? what r the other daily improvements? battery life?

  • Mi 6 already maxes out at exactly 603 nits...

  • Do you guys know, how big (in MBs) the photos are on maximum quality?

  • Sorry to say but i think u r not technically advanced there are a zillion ways to transfer stuff from a mmc to new phone and i use a mi 6 128gb variant and wen i changed my phone i did it with ease, its just a one time process which dsnt even take much time, some people just dnt know how to use technology and still buy expensive gadgets, and dnt even use 20% of its features, wat a pity really.

  • If you used a phone with microSD card on it, but then you change to this phone, what would you do with that microSD card? Throw it?

  • How to record video 720p@120fps ?

  • Can someone please are there significant performance differences between 4gb and 6gb variants?

  • do u need a sd card if u buy 128gb inbuilt phone

  • And the lack of headphone jack . Sd card kill the chance for this phone to compete. Honor doing better than xiaomi in the flagship segment. Budget smartphone is still rule by xiaomi.

  • The GPS on Mi6 is superbly fast.

  • I think better get Mi 6. Mi Note 3 and Mi 6 shared same camera hardware, just some little bit improved algorithms on Mi Note 3 over Mi 6. So images will appear very similar on both camera.

  • They both have the same camera sensor, so whats the different? hahaha.

  • if u want good camera and good battery life.. get the mi note 3.. if want performance get mi6.. SD660 still good... xiaomi already said mi note 3 camera better than mi6.. mi note 3 better than all xiaomi phone out there...

  • Unfortunately, Mi6 does not have HDMI connection. I need it since I do presentation a lot. I bought the USB-C to USB connector before I bought this phone but it is useless now.

  • Got Android Oreo Update seems like they take care of camera in low light conditions. Thanks Xiaomi

  • Can someone confirm if is possible to use external mic with the providet usb/headset adapter

  • Take the Mi 6. The both shares same hardware on camera, so I think the camera is pretty similar. If you really concerned on camera, you could see on GSMArena reviews about Mi 6 camera, one of the best camera among all big brands, even in low-light the camera is really good.

  • This phone is has highest value/cost.... Love the SD835 , 6GB RAM, 128 GB space and ceramic glass.... IR blaster OK OS and OK camera... OK battery... Bad... no 3.5 headphone...

  • could someone suggest me, mi 6 or mi note 3? camera and snappy performance. but i dont know why mi note 3 scores 90 in dxomark while mi 6 dont while both have same camera hardware.

  • I've got Android 8.0 Oreo on this phone. Xiaomi already rolled out the firmware faster than before.

  • Please xiaomi use a screen with more 450 ppi for mi7.

  • Experience with Mi5 is very disappointed because the GPS is not working properly. What about Mi6 GPS?

  • It should be very similar if not identical. They are using the exact same hardware.

  • Does anyone know how the camera performs compared to Mi Note 3? Because Mi 6 doesn't in DxOMark while Mi Note 3 scores 90 in DxOMark

  • It does not come with a Screen guard, we need to get one and apply. But it comes with Soft Back case. its very good.

  • I really do hope it comes with a screen, otherwise most people won't be able to use it.

  • Is this phone comes with screen on it or we must purchase a new screen and put in on?

  • Hi , mind to share the phone performances ? Like the camera , bluetooth, gps and etc. Really need it :) All Great! Definitely worth buying it. I have had no problems at so far. I really like most the second space feature, and customizable themes to the one you like most.

  • People call it best buy because it's cheap, but it's cheap for a reason. If you just want a high spec phone for games or whatever - go for it. If you need some real features, care about UI, want really good camera - run away from this. Then there are issues like security breaches connected with Xiaomi, and exploiting of their workers. That's all shady to me, and I wouldn't trust them my data.

  • Yes, unfortunatley it is.

  • mi note3 has a better front cam. it's same on back, though mi6 can be better with $d835

  • I think you haven't used mi6 for a single minute recently . its camera is better than p10. in performance it is a beast with miui9. p10 is a good smartphone. but it really deserves something

  • I dont know why people comment negative. bought 4 days ago. My review: Battery life. easily managing a full day with 4G. With no gaming and all social apps running Screen on time (SOT) ~7Hours with 4g on all day and i have been getting it daily. Camera in the day light is awesome however noise in the night shots. Charging upto 60% very fast but gets normal after 60% and above 90% further slows down to 500mA. however 0-100 takes ~90mins In performance, it is truely a beast

  • It's advised not to buy mi phones during the launch periods.you can wait for a few say 6 months and think and buy. The reason is the price which you pay will be fancy one and will regret later for the higher amount you paid.. You buy the new launch phone and suddenly the price will be reduced which in turn reduces the price of the newly launched product which you bought..

  • Great phone ! it is too fast and has a good camera. mi 6 is better than p10.camera is better and it is faster than p10.

  • no

  • Physical navigation buttons is the main reason why i choose Xiaomi over other flagships like P10 or even S8. I really can't stand the virtual navigation buttons. They eat up my space.

  • does mi 6 front cam has portrait mode?

  • P10 is great!!!! Mi 6 makes better use of the dual camera though... I say, if you have the money for P10, go for it. But if you want a bang for your buck phone, Mi 6 is the best!

  • No, P10 better,....way better, M6 is not in that product category period.

  • Exactly. Apple has it's price, and it's not cheap one. Not only it's expensive, but is also closed ecosystem. But it also gives you more privacy and protects your data better. Both Android and iOS have it's advantages and disadvantages.

  • mi6 is better than p10

  • the RAM management is poor on most of the phones. Maybe Apple has a better one but their prices are huge.

  • Mi 6 or Huawei P10

  • This phone rocks. I bought this to replace my broken Mi5. At first I despise it because of no headphone jack. But after awhile, I got comfortable with it because it give me more proper grip when gaming, especially when I am plugging an earphone. On Mi5, I was a bit uncomfortable gaming with earphone and type-c plugged in because of cable from both sides. On Mi6 though, I just need need to plugin type-C to type-C and 3.5mm adapter and have more comfortable grip when gaming. God I should picked this phone a lot earlier.

  • buy stereo wireless earbuds. xiaomi sells one that has above average sound reproduction for only $20+.

  • Search.. that's what good people do for finding, see.. that's what genius people do for knowledge... and now, try searching Mi Mix / Mi Mix 2

  • Go to en.miui.com/forum.php

  • This is superb phone, been using for 3 months. Very very fast and worthed to buy. The battery still capable for 1 day using heavy chat and browsing. Replace your ROM using MIUI Epic Rom will be more good.

  • 3000 mAh + is not enough but its really affordable

  • Gotta love this phone. Same thing as the OnePlus 5 with slightly worse camera for the price of an OnePlus 3. Amazing job, Xiaomi! Proud of you. No headphone jack is a small bummer but for this price, you can't get a better phone at all. Performance nearly like the Razor Phone, Camera nearly as good as OnePlus 5, Battery is near to Xiaomi's budget smart phones, all for just £400. This phone is really under-rated. It could do a lot of things better than the S8+ except it's display of course.

  • send this phone in india

  • Change region to india..

  • A smarthphone needs a smart user

  • Anyone can advise where to get the Mi 6 user manual? Thanks.

  • ok

  • ok

  • so buy mi mix or mi mix 2 :)

  • then buy mi mix or mix 2 :)

  • Which one have better cameras (front and rear) between MI6 and MI Note 3?

  • One thing i always hate about Xiaomi mobiles, "physical navigation buttons" When Xiaomi put Virtual navigation buttons on screen i will definitely buy Xiaomi undoubtedly...

  • So, many people compare this phone to S8, some even say that it's better than S8. My opinion is that it's only popular because of the price, but still, S8 does have higher price for a reason. I own S8 and I love it, I had the opportunity to hold both of these phones in my hand and S8 just feels more premium, not to mention difference in display and bezels... So Mi6 had more RAM, and the pretty much same processor, but lacks features that S8 has. I don't use my phone for gaming, but heart rate sensor and some other features S8 has are useful to me. Sure that I could live without them, and sure that I don't use lots of features S8 has, but it's nice to have them, and well - I might even start using them one day, you never know... as for RAM, I have 1,5GB of free RAM on my S8 right now, which means I would have 3.5GB of free RAM with Mi6, which would be ridiculous.

  • it's a no no no

  • bought one for few month already, in Vietnam, 128 Gb model, and changed to global ROM; the worst camera ever you can find at this level; even an ancient nokia 3310 can handle better front light; if there is a bit movement all what you want is to smash it into a concrete wall ( did it once but survived)! will give it to my gf in 2 days, hope it will make it that far!

  • Which one have better cameras (front and rear) between MI6 and MI Note 3?

  • Using MIUI8 which was preloaded. No update received. Please guide.

  • Are you using miui 9 global rom..

  • JIO Volte getting activated after every reboot. After sometime it is again deactivating. So unable to call.on JIO network. Able to do Internet. Friends help me with some solution for Mi 6 in India. Thanks

  • Got get your way dude.. im totally fine without 3.5 audio jack and IPS screen, already using this phone for 3 months and its just awesome

  • No 3.5 jack , why this step !!!

  • No 3.5mm jack and LCD screen is two fatal errors from xiaomi.I will look for other phone.

  • have always been a Samsung user, and have just bought a Note 8. The Note is still in its box as I feel the MI6 is as good if not better than the Note 5 that I was previously using. so thumbs up to Xiaomi for producing a great phone.

  • Was going to buy this phone but it didnt launch in india.. had waited for long then bought the one plus 5 and i dont regret coz its much better than mi6.. glad it didnt launch...

  • i will be the first to buy when this Devil comes to India

  • Xiaomi Mi 6 is best phone with dual app feature.Its best phone of Xiaomi brand

  • Oh, almost forgot, they also don't care for how much you actually paid for the good... they have their own tables which state the retail value of said good, from which they will calculate the VAT. Be prepared to have your phone overvalued by up-to 2x and pay the VAT according to that valuation.

  • You mean "tariff", but yet forget that some customs have procedural fees which are charged to process the package and then charge the VAT. Portugal is the champion of crappy customs and such fees -- with the added insult of easily taking a month to release your package.

  • So true! Plus, it's not just the taxes and added fees, it's also the lost time waiting for something to happen and jumping through all the hops (just) for a smartphone. Not worth the import at all. Buy it from an EU store which already has all fees included (and won't get stuck in customs).

  • It likely seems that it has all the frequency bands, so it would work globally without hassle but to be precise check the operating frequency bands in new Zealand and check the model u intend to buy

  • Mi 6 available in USA?

  • change country to INDIA / USA you will see themes icon

  • Hi Dears. I have been using Xiaomi MI6 scince a week, i mlooking for theme icon but there is no any theme icon on my Xiaomi MI6. Went settings apps etc but not found.plz help me in this regard.

  • say that to the portuguese goverment. Just google "Alfandega" and translate it to english. And you'll see

  • if youre in Jakarta, go to ITC (Cempaka Mas)

  • Hi I am from indonesia, but will continue my study di new zealand, is this phone works well in nz?

  • Where did u buy Mi6 in Indo??

  • Does mi 6 support LTE band in Africa region

  • Just bought mi 6 about 1 months and i loved it, no problem no network error it just normal, (im from indonesia) xiaomi mi 6 support lte band in indonesia, so guys if u from US i'm not recommend u to buy it, buy others maybe s8,htc,or lG g6, but if u from asia i recommend this device it's very awesome, im just disappointed with its 1080p lcd haha it's not like other flagship that us qHd amoled/lcd, overall it's a great device on great budget!!! -Farel from Indonesia

  • Let me buy whats the problem in a heavy gamer

  • What do you want for it??

  • recently i got a 128gb,6gb ram mi6.within oneweek it shows no network.really im vry upset with this mi6.he who wants to buy mi please think and buy.i never go to mi series.

  • When it will be launch in India?? Please give any suggestion. i waiting long time. but till now there is no official news from MI India.. Anyone has idea about the phone release in India???

  • Nonesense

  • Have you ever playing this phone by yourself? Not by "another said" ? Or maybe someone whos said to you got a defective unit

  • others said that its hard to touch on edge of the screen

  • Work flawless just like other flagship

  • how about the multi touch and soft touch of screen.. is it good???

  • Hi , mind to share the phone performances ? Like the camera , bluetooth, gps and etc. Really need it :) All Great! Definitely worth it flagship phone :) No problem or issue at all

  • Hi , mind to share the phone performances ? Like the camera , bluetooth, gps and etc. Really need it :)

  • Read DxO response when people ask to review Mi 5s camera. They simply has no constant supplier for Xiaomi phones, Mi 5 was a lucky exception to arrive in their hands. And instead of waiting for DxO, you still have eyes, don't you? Watch youtube reviews, Mi 6 is covered by a lot of famous youtubers.

  • yes,mate,well ok,you can call it whatever you want but the fact is if you want to order a phone from China,from,say,Aliexpress,not many sellers offer that option with shipping.You do get free shipping by most,but then you'll have to pay some 30%+ for additional expenses(custom fee+local tax/vat).

  • Mine is fine, never had any issue about volume while using bluetooth pairing to my carkit

  • In reality there are no so called "EU Warehouses", just 'clever' shipping methods ;)

  • There's NO import tax for smartphones(or tablets) in the EU regardless of country. You do have to pay VAT(the % in your country) but not "import taxes".

  • This thing will be stuck on Android 7 for at least another 10 months. Consider that before buying it.No Oreo in the near or mid future.

  • I like it

  • thanks for reply what about bluetooth issue? there is no aux , so i have to connect through bluetooth, while sound may go up and down as read in many reviews did you try it?

  • 1. Try global stable (miui 8) if you feel inconvenience just flash to global developer (miui 9) 2. No problem with gps, i'm using 128gb version, way better than mi5 which is my phone before mi6

  • i like this phone and like to have soon but worried 1: many reviews stated that miui8 is unstable, so what about miui9? 2: is there really issue with gps? some users say it take alot to lock so independable

  • Super very nice coolers

  • Standby

  • Don't understand why Xiaomi MI6 seller could lied to people that the MI6 FM radio which is not, someone need to sue them for this. Is this part of marketing strategy or what ? Because I checked the specification before I order the phone it was written radio: YES but when the phone arrived no FM radio was found.

  • This is the most worthed phone. Trust me. You wont be dissapointed compare to its price and specification.

  • I bought a Lenovo phone via Ebay directly from China to Croatia...189$, not a single penny for taxes or anything like that...I guess that electronics aren't on the tax list, at least in Croatia...or that was only in my case, I'm not 100% sure what it was and why

  • worst camera, not on dxomark list

  • True :) A friend of mine is considering buying the Xiaomi Mi6 And i told him, either the oneplus 5 or the xiaomi Mi6, they are both really great phones. Tbh i like the Mi6 durved and glass back. And the camera don't stick out and it has OIS. I smoehow find the xiaomi superior build quality. But i also like the superior amoled 5.5 inch screen and the support of LTE band 20 on the oneplus 5. If only both of these phones would fuse together and bring a mix out :D i would totally buy it

  • I paid 445$/370€,and they were using EU warehouse too,UK I think.So,no taxes,custom fees,for Croatia..If I ordered one from China I would also have to pay at least 30% taxes..We too have the same law-that 22€ is the limit.But you know that chinese put the price about 40$ on a parcel declaration,and if customs fall for it...anyway,we both ended up with great phones,half the price of those big names overpriced badges...:)cheers

  • deivery by DHL, if the product is higer than 22e a 35% tax will apply to the product to enter portugal. And a total 23% tax IVA will be applied to the product. Which means: 370 + 35% import tax = 499.50 euros 370 +35% import tax + 23% IVA = 580.90 euros We have a xiaomi store here in portugal and the xiaomi Mi 6 is selling for 609.99 euros Taxes here in portugal are awfull when importing stuff. Oneplus 5 has a warehouse in poland so the portuguese law can't make us pay taxes due to the european union law procedure.

  • I totally cant agree with you. Im using my phone around 3months without any protection. maybe just think what you can do better to have your phone safe.

  • I cant understand how flagship like Mi6 doesnt have glass protection....you can't find good screen protector or you need to wait 1 month for shipping.If you use this phone only 1 day without screen protection your screen will be very scratched.Xiaomi if you read this thik about this cheap mistake.I will think twice if I buy $430+ phone without glassprotection....

  • G6 or Mi6 which one should u by

  • This is much cheaper and os will be updated just slowly

  • OP 5 or Mi 6, which one has better camera (still pic only) considering OS updated to the latest ?

  • I bought Mi 6 black ceramic version newly. It shouts the quality and the performance. Great camera and battery (duration & charging) with a cool design of body.

  • No doubt nokia 8

  • Almost same price with one plus 5 around Rs 30k

  • Which is a better option, Mi6 or upcoming Nokia 8. i am bit into mild gaming and stuff, nothing hardcore, but i spend a lot of time watching videos and youtube.

  • You can find and download google installer on Mi store. Then install it. Wait until it's done succesfully.. so you'll have G-play on your Mi Phone. The package of G-installer includes G play and other apk of google.

  • You can find and download google installer on Mi store. Then install it. Wait until it's done succesfully.. so you'll have G-play on your Mi Phone.

  • how does the front cam work?

  • How many screen on time for average user?

  • I have this phone for 1 month and almost everthing is great except display...display protection is misery...Nokia 5800 has better screen protection.if you buy this phone buy imidietly screen protection

  • I've installed Google play services successfully .. try back up method from YouTube ..

  • Xiaomi Mi 6 have dual 12MP camera, its so great

  • is this dual sim active? from the website it says "When two SIM cards are used simultaneously, the primary SIM supports 4G calling and data while the secondary SIM supports calling only."

  • yes it has

  • Does it have backlit buttons?

  • Hi, if you want to install G-apps on Chinese ROM, try to find youtube video/miui forum. It´s not hard, but you have to install google play installer from Chinese market, then you´ll be able to install apps from G-Play.

  • Well try usb type c earphones!!!

  • I have bought mi6 Chinese rom. I have tried multiple ways to open Google services but I failed. Can anyone have idea how to solve this issue

  • If you wanna listen to music on your mobile phone, forget about Xiaomi Mi 6. 3.5mm converter is piece of *****. It often lower volume by it self, then it is loud again, then headset is off and loudspeaker are playing music, then music is gone all together. When you disconnect converter, everything works fine during reproduction, same volume, continuous play. This is to expensive to have this type of idiotic problems.

  • Can we add soft buttons on mi 6?

  • How to use headset on mi 6?

  • Zte axon 7 or Xiaomi mi6 ?

  • yeah killer performance

  • Im gonna chose mi 6 check out the speed and performance on youtube

  • mi 6 and iphone 6s in case of perfomace what would you choose?

  • Mi6 no doubt,,1+3t great phone still,MiMix a stunner with bad camera- but first two way better performers-your choice and they all cost about the same

  • Mi 6 or one plus 3t or mi mix

  • By DHL we got import tax of 35% over the phone's price to get it shiped to portugal. I opted for the oneplus 5 since there's a warehouse in europe and no tax is applied

  • Hi, just to say go for MIUI 9, its easy to install, its blazing fast. Even its beta, i went for EU rom, its based on china rom, but no china software, has all languages and most important no bloatware. Weekly updates. I have Xiaomi Mi 5s for now.

  • is mi 6 a great device now ? i know sd 835 but what about its ram managment is it fixd now ? with imui 9 ?any user who can help me out i am a performance lover so is it a good choice now or i go with honor 8 then ? mi 6 is good device with nice pricetag but its a little high for me in my country so donot wanna get the wrong device any noticeable cons wich users can tell?

  • Hi,mate,as I said I bought mine on Aliexpress.If you look for Mi6 just make sure you get one with Global firmware,and that's it.A lot of sellers offers that version for use outside of China.It comes with Google Play Store installed,Google icon(folder) with all you need from Google-Mail,Maps,Driver,Photos,Video Player..and Chrome on home screen,multi-languages,and very important-that Global Rom supports OTA updates so you can receive your updates properly via Wi-Fi.The price?Few sellers offer Mi6 with DHL shipping(23-26$) over their Eu warehouse so no taxes,custom fees..All together about 450$ or just over 370 Euro..that's it mate,go get one!:)cheers

  • Harwey, judging by your comment your might be from Croatia? I'm in your neighbourhood and thinking about getting the MI6. I've heard things against it such as not coming with google apps and needs to be rooted for this purpose, impossible to get spare parts and repare, etc. What do you say to this as someone who owns it already? P.S. I'm considering getting mine directly from China through a friend, so I don't know if there is a difference between Chinese and international edition when it comes to software? I'd appreciate if you could get in touch. My email is my nickname at gmail. Cheers.

  • Mi6 costs 445$ on Aliexpress,try Goldway or few Xiaomi Online Stores..That includes delivery by DHL via EU warehouse so no custom or tax duties.And 445$=370€ It works for Croatia so I guess it's the same with Portugal or any EU state..

  • I've got mine for three months now and all I can say it's brilliant!I was also considering 1+5 which is very good phone,and went for Mi6 just because of the looks!+5 is a premium phone but it looks cheap,and Mi6 is a beauty.Everything on my Mi6 works fantastic-Miui 8 runs supersmooth even I customized everything(launcher,themes,wallpapers,icon packs).Display is perfect for me,some might prefer amoled on +5.Camera is rather special,I think better than Oneplus.4G runs great(bands 3&7),battery ok for whole day.To me best thing about it is audio output-excellent!..when connected to stereo amp.And for 445$ paid-surely best buy in 2017,so far..no match for it..

  • go for mi 6 cheaper better camera higher antutu rating ir blaster currently with miui 8 oneplus 5 opens apps and games faster but if you look at mi6 with miui 9 alpha vs op5 you see it easily beats oneplus 5 even in ALPHA release !!!!!! and it will become much better after stable release but.... lack of band 20 !!!!!!!!!!!!! check if your country uses this band or not if yes then go for oneplus 5 because you might not able to access 4g without band 20 if used in your country check at :

  • can you please tell me its dual sim dual standby or dual sim dual active?

  • hmm 6 one+5=6.. kidding asside for mi 6.. xiaomi is a lot better..

  • Redmi luched similar kind of smart phone with different prices and even have no great features of camera and glass protection but increase price with every new phone

  • one plus 5

  • nokia 3310

  • please suggest me which one is better mi 6 or one plus 5???

  • Very glad this phone didn't get a high Endurance rating, since I really hate to think about buying a smartphone without an audio jack.

  • Will this be available on amazon?

  • To be honest, the reason why i took the Oneplus 5 over the Mi6 was that the oneplus has a 3.5mm Jack, Stock based Android ROM, easy and faster availability in Europe, bigger screen, dash charge, amoled display and the most important thing, no LTE band 20 support. I i bought the Xiaomi Mi6 it would cost me 620euros because of the import taxes to portugal can you imagine? While the oneplus 5 cost me 499.99 euros with no tax whatsoever. pretty good deal. It means, for 120 euros less i get a superior phone

  • Bought a Mi6 last week after the Mi5 last year. Here is what I found a. Almost identical features as One Plus 5, at a much lower price (Price may vary as per region). The main difference being the screen size for which I prefer the Mi6 anytime as it is a one hand operation. For specifically bigger screen size, the One Plus 5 stands out taller. b. The camera is awesome. If it is for your regular use. However, we are still not comparing the iPhone 7 Plus camera which is beyond better. So, if you want the BEST camera around, do not read further and switch to iPhone. But if you are ok with a very good camera, stick around, the Mi6 does not disappoint. c. The removal of the 3.5 Jack is a drawback surely but it is because Xiaomi is way ahead of its time for now. I am very sure very soon all phones would follow suit in today's generation where everyone is consolidating for purpose of standardisation. As much as it is a drawback, to help the transition, Mi6 comes with an adaptor for your old earphones, headphones and other gadgets if you are not already on Bluetooth. d. Storage capacity is decent at 64GB. However, if you still prefer the old conventional way of storing data in the phone, buy the 128GB version or take backup frequently. However, one must understand adding RAM with storage doesn't make phones faster after a particular limit. We were using 100GB as hard disk space in laptops till a while back. e. RAM is more than sufficient at 6GB and does a wonderful job. In benchmarking, it is behind OnePlus 5 by few microns of seconds. However, it is not something visible to naked eye. The applications load fast. No complaints so far and it is not hanging. f. OS: Personal choices matter. However, I have loved the MIUI from beginning. Yes, if you ar e not in China and have bought a phone from there (In all probability as it is not available anywhere else for now), you need to flash it with Global ROM. Global ROM brings you the new Nougat Android with beautiful MIUI 9 themes. The split view feature lets you run two applications together on one screen. Dual apps work very smoothly along with second space which practically means having 2 phones in 1 with 2 completely different interfaces. Built in security and cleaner apps along with WPS lets you run practically all applications from the start. GPS works nicely. Mi5 had GPS issues which have been improvised greatly. g. Display and protection - The display for Mi6 is amazing with clarity in sunlight also. Doesn't drain the battery very fast if set on auto mode. Double touch to wake works fine. If you buy the annual maintenance contract, it costs around Rs. 700 for an year but it takes care of service as they offer free pick and drop even if you crack your glass. The glass edges are curved so it fits very nicely in the hand. The phone is splash proof so you need not worry on the sweat and showers in the rain, but surely a better waterproof IP6 protection would be more helpful. Perhaps we have to wait for the Mi7 for that. All in all - a 4.7 out of 5 for the Mi6. Hats off to another great flagship phone. Try it before passing any other judgement on this beast and remember to compare the cost as well. The cost to feature ratio is an absolute winner!

  • maybe youre using china rom you should bought it with global rom preinstalled but dont worry you can flash global rom anytime if youre outside of china you SHOULD flash global rom google is your friend

  • Buy a laptop.

  • Glad not ordered this phone. After google MIUI Advertisement, found that advertisement is baked in the OS. MI forum suggest turn off notification get a clean environment, if so, why not turn on flying mode get a silent environment? Huawei EMUI is better in this regard. It can configure notification of each app. My next phone still going to Huawei, probably the P10+, even for the price can buy Sam S8.

  • Why putting into cloud equals to letting other people see your personal things? They are private, locked by your password. Unless your password is "12345" or something like that.

  • Why would I put data to some cloud for anyone to see my personal things. World is going into shit.

  • Internal storage is increased. Plus, use bluetooth handsfree.

  • sd card missed and 3.5mm headphone jack missed. why did xiomi did that shit? big no to mi6.

  • Bro this is 2017, nobody will save all their data especially the photos offline no more. Xiaomi has provided reliable and affordable cloud service, that is why even 64gb version is big enough for me

  • Mi6 have stereo speakers :)

  • The screen is too small to read.

  • NO MICRO SD SLOT.. iOS wannabe UI.. No thanks!

  • Mi 7 should: - QHD screen - Stereo speakers - 4500mah

  • cpu is sd835 which is same as galaxy s8/s8 plus and it has 2 gb more ram than those samsung flagships primary sensor on camera is imx386 with 4 axis ois which is great for its price and also it has a secondary sensor which can make images sharper and zoom without losing quality and it can go head to head with other flagships it has a small battery but due to 10nm sd835 and 1080p screen it has a great battery life and its very cheap compared to its specs which is super great ips is enough for me and its very nice compared to price never comment when you are uninformed

  • When you need your data saved including photos, videos and back up of phone, you need sd card. When your phone is cruppted, you bring it to work through sd card back uo.Your all data lost in phone memory if any thing goes wrong. You must have sd card support.

  • Bad smartphone, you cant expect anything except from its cpu. The camera worst, the battery draining fast and its IPS screen make it look cheap for the actual price. Xiaomi become bad now.

  • LG very bad batery life - browsing time, old procesor. Mi6 in its entirety has many advantages in many respects. Top GCPU GPU Android ToP, good display, good battery, good camera, good price.

  • Ok bro i just saying that many bigger companies overprice their phones couse marketing expenses... so piece... Lets go back on MI6.. for this price V20 is better i will list pros and cons why i think that... V20 pros: MI6 pros: Removable battery SD385 vs820 (currently no real difference in gaming) Second screen 2G Ram (better for multitasking but MIUI just need to optimize) Bigger screen Better looking design (it comes to prefference) Better camera Easy for one handed use More useful secondary cam Little better battery (but in LG you can swap right?) Better selfie cam Price 450 euro Better sound quallity overall QUAD DAC B&O certified Full manual multimedia device PRICE 335 euro So i was excited about MI5 Redmi pro Redmi note 3 and old Redmi note 3g and i own these devices but i must say a BIG NO for this even galaxy s8 is 520euro currently

  • Mi6 smartphone Antutu score 180441 Benefits worth buying ... Good price, now cost ~ 360 euro .; Well-maintained battery, 11 hours of screen time while browsing; IR remote; MIUI is running Android and fully managed applications; MIUI 5 years of updates, almost like Apple's IOS; The screen is an eye-catching and non-aggressive, well-seen - visible before direct sunlight; Sound Stereo via speakers, headphone volume; Disadvantages in my opinion ... Non-expandable memory for SD cards; No IP68; The OIS camera is not bad, but there is a lack of additional EIS up to 100% good video stabilization; There is no B20 frequency.

  • very good for how much you're paying for

  • xioami mi6 phone good phone or bad phone

  • And who made those parts? Do you know how long and expensive that proces is? (and no, im not defending apple nor have I ever own their product) Just use your brain.

  • dude apple really made iphone for 200... thats price apple pays for parts and assemblity... all over it is couse apple need to pay commercials and few more stuff so dont learn me :D

  • Guess you dont know a thing about making phones (or anything else). Whole apple phone cost around 200 euros? Yes it does, if you have all parts magically premade. Now tell me, how much does it cost to make those parts? To pay all the people making them, programing apps, marketing? Thats like saying "duh for making pants you only need some material and thred that cost 2$ and they are making us pay 35$".... Man, before speaking such nonsense learn how things works.

  • better buy both phone.

  • Anyone here knows the screen protection used in the mi 6?

  • Xiaomi mi 6 user here The phone does not overheat when doing ideal tasks like web browsing, etc It does get warm when playing demanding games and benchmarking, but not much throttling, but it's acceptable since it's a flagship SD835 Compared to my previous Samsung S6 edge, this phone runs a lot cooler and faster.

  • ough ppl are greedy? sry bro but making of an iphone costs 200 apple takes 800 bucks and ppl are greedy? producing xiaomi dont cost over 170 so y they can put something better...

  • So, for 400 euros you want flahship performance and camera? People are really greedy.

  • Just get iPhone 7 and have some luxury life over there. You don't deserve to use this phone, budget smartphone is not for you. Only the so called best is suited for you. For the rest of us, we choose Mi 6 for it's great value.

  • which one to buy Mi 6 or Mi mix ?

  • Camera better than the 7+ for $ 400 ?? Really? It already has better performance and still wants camera ?? LOL

  • Not just selfie camera man ... primary isnt better than lg or sammy's mid-rangers... if u expirience heat issues in miui check your charger.... most of time thats problem.. weak usb-c cable

  • i used it about amonth, its faster but the cameras will make you dissapointed. it has a lot of noise in low light both of cameras. i think the cameras will better than iphone 7+, but im wrong.. i can't take better photo in the night or low light condition..

  • Not all people like to take photo and selfie a lot. With 6GB Ram and 128GB Storage plus Snapdragon 835, I will choose this phone rather then any other expensive phone. The only problem I consider about Xiaomi is the heating issue.

  • Because that is the norm for XIAOMI high-end flagships

  • why this camera isnt flagship-grade one :'( so sad ... we deserve one but one real flagship from xiaomi for real... y it is cheaper but that is couse midrange camera inside... cheap camera = cheaper "flagship" :(

  • Mi6 is faster than Samsung Galaxy S8 in real.

  • Well your approach is even deeper. A simple official global rom works for me (at least for now). There are ways to avoid paying a lot of taxes (done that) but of course you can't really rely on that. I totally agree on the last one. If Xiaomi did what Oneplus does they would have huge success (although cause of the taxes the price would be pretty much like OP5 :/ ). But their planning is different (working their way up on eastern markets) and I really can't argue about doing so (they have so many employees, financial analysts etc).

  • Mi 6 when available in India

  • MI 6 is best mobile

  • Why no sd card support??

  • I fully understand what you are saying, in fact my main drive when buying a phone is to get whatever has best 3rd-party ROM support (I almost always run LOS). The Mi6 has great potential there, but Xiaomi still hasn't released the kernel sources (which makes it a challenge and better to wait until they do). As for "pricing", yes, taxes and customs was what I really meant by shipping. My personal experience with a given store that has "EU direct" warehouses is that buying a Mi 6 and shipping to an EU address will cost just about the same as buying the similarly spec'ed OP5 (6GB/64GB). There are places that show much cheaper prices, but if you add the taxes and customs you should pay... they just aren't worth the hassle customs usually give. Xiaomi really should do as OnePlus, cut the middle-man and ship directly to major markets (without any further hassles).

  • Actually I disagree on a few points. Yeah customs are a variable (shipping is almost always free or a few Euros only), but generally you can find Mi6 much cheaper than 500 Euros (Oneplus 5 official price for Europe). Furthermore, 3rd party retailers almost always sell their phones with crappy custom roms BUT MIUI has a "geeky" nature, meaning that you can officially unlock your bootloader and flash an original ROM (which will probably not support your native language, but then again many won't bother having English as a system language). LTE bands are a real issue (band 20 for me) but not quite a dealbreaker. I am not saying OP5 isn't nice and for sure troubling with ROM's is not for everyone, but MI6 offers a great value for money (and if the prices continue getting lower like Mi5's did, then I will for sure replace my phone).

  • Actually, if you are outside of China (Europe for instance) the prices will be pretty much the same (it's really how much you pay for shipping that makes the difference) -- only that with OnePlus you'll still have an official RMA while Xiaomi will make you just through the hops. I won't even start talking about the LTE bands... which is also a major pain if you get the wrong version. In short: international buyers are likely better served with OP5, without having to pay that much for it (if any at all).

  • i have been waiting this phone since May bt there's no sign til now, bt i have patient m gonna wait till the end.

  • watertest

  • Wanted to buy it, but so many complaints people are posting here. So I'll stuck with Huawei P10 plus. P10 plus has a better camera and an SD card slot over Mi6

  • Please update it with screen Mirroring system as a water proof phone.

  • you can order online from flipcard .

  • op 5 is better but money matters too

  • i bought this device last week....everything is good except battery life...it's draining a lot when in standby mode

  • What is wrong with this phone. It cannot download apps from google play i update its sofware just yesterday telling its bug for unable to download from google play has been fixed but still could not download....what a shame on xiaomi corporation. Fixed this bug very soon. I can taoe it anymore.

  • Anybody knows why mi 6 not yet launched in india? And when it will be launched. Thanks in advance.

  • Excellent phone but i feel it is a dust magnet

  • He meant the Mi flagship lineup dude like the Mi4, Mi5, Mi6. Mi max isnt really much of a flagship, more like a high midrange.

  • Fantastic. But the HTC U11 is God.

  • Why did you move from the s8 plus?!

  • Mi 6!

  • I have a Mi Max Prime and there's a micro SD slot so your point is not true.

  • When mi 6 will be finally launched in india. And whether it will be launched in india, Thanks in advance.

  • OnePlus 5 vs Mi 6 vs Honor 9 - you might like to check bands - especially if you are in Europe and need band 20! OP5 - Band 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/17/18/19/20/25/26/28/29/30/66 Mi6 - LTE band 1(2100), 3(1800), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 38(2600), 39(1900), 40(2300), 41(2500) Honor 9 - LTE band 1(2100), 3(1800), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 20(800), 38(2600), 40(2300), 41(2500)

  • Go for Mi6

  • I M in love with this phone.. So don't waste extra 100$ for One plus 5

  • Which is better, mi 6 or one plus 5 . Anybody will Pl.reply. Thanks in advance.

  • Which should i select between honor 8 nd Mi 6??????

  • Actually your wrong the camera is not bad compared to most smartphones also Samsung and Apple are both pretty good depending on your preferred os.

  • What are your honest experiences til now with this phone? Any problems, bugs, overheating, pros/cons etc? Im interested in buying so i wonder what should i know before it. Thanks

  • That is actually a really hars question. The phones are so close both in terms of design and performance. There are some differences here and there but they are mostly balanced. If the price is the same for the 4Gb honor 9, 6gb mi6 might be a bit more future-proof (however 4gb may also be just fine...even S8 has 4gb). As for the rest it is mostly personal opinion. Which one do you like the most as a design? Which UI do you prefer? Monochrome or Wide-angle? Honor 9 has a 3.5mm jack but given Mi6 includes an adapter I cant see why that could be a dealbreaker. Mi6 has splash proof but eh...its not ip67. I tend to like Mi6 more, but given they are equally priced I cant blame anyone picking Honor. Gsmarena reviews found both phones pretty great so not much help from there either. I dont think I helped you solve the dilemma but I am trying to reassure you that both are great. Pick the one you think you like more without much guilt.

  • unfortunetly xiaomi not focus on camera, you can find another cheaper phone with better camera. if you dont mind with budget, grab iphone.

  • xiaomi got slight better speed processor and battre cap. lower price too.

  • I typed 30 megapixel phone on Google search and took me here, why is it 12MP for an overpriced flagship phone

  • I have had my Mi6 (blue, 6GB 128GB, Global rom) for 10 days now, it is the first phone since my S8 plus. And I must say day to day it's OK but nothing special. Just my initial impression for now.

  • LCD vs AMOLED is debatable. Usually, LCD are way more accurate than amoled, and consume less. I honestly don't see the difference between my galaxy s6 and my sister's mi5. The legibility in the sunlight is the same, and the samsung doesn't go as low as the mi5.

  • Iphones also uses lcd

  • still lcd for that range of price? its a dissapointment

  • which phone is better to buy xiaomi mi 6 or huawei honor 9 both cost same price ... mi 6 will launch in next month and honor 9 also

  • when will it be launched in india, im sure it will beat one plus 5 hands down, this is truly a flagship killer a true chinese warrior that can slay the apple and the samsung.

  • Yes

  • Is this phone have gorilla glass

  • Yes it can, I have mi5, mi6 should be support it

  • I own an Mi5 and before that Mi3. I will never buy another Xiaomi flagship unless they fix noise in their low light photos. Pathetic. Camera at night is unusable.

  • The MI line of Xiaomi doesn't really support external memory/SD card. If you really want a Xiaomi phone with that supports SD card, they got Redmi line.

  • I think 128gb on board storage doesnt need any SD.

  • Why xaiomi doesn't give memory slot that suck I am big fan of xaiomi and I wish to bye this phone but expand memory have me big matter 😡

  • When is the releasing date

  • Hy. Has anyone experienced freeze or crash during enter and or exit from camera apps? I have read some review discussed about this issue, probably SW bug..

  • Can The two SIM card slots be Main card or Secondary card by menu option ? if not, I have to change sim cards whenever I move to another region to use 4G LTE. it bothers me always.

  • Can you use software buttons instead of the hardware ones( i hate them,that's why i'm asking) Tnx in advance

  • Sorry, If really for camera and battery life, I would recommend go for Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus, sporting dual camera setup. If that doesn't satisfied, there is a basic Huawei Mate 9, which also has performance, battery and camera to match with Zenfone 3 Zoom, which also has dual camera setup. Simply, the SD625 inside Zenfone 3 Zoom doesn't match to SD821 and Kirin 960 inside both phone, despite having the same 14nm and 16nm process for power saving, and priced about the same. For Mi6, it is miles ahead those.

  • no heating at all best phone for jio use ipv4 and bearer lte in apn settings color is bright and vibrant on display

  • where is blue color? Come on XIAOMI :( I'm waiting for blue

  • should all be ext4 not a windows FS for external storage or internal storage partition for SD.

  • For camera and battery life, go for Zen 3 Zoom. For performance, go for Mi 6. But Zen 3 Zoom has to many problems such as white line on the screen. It looks annoying. But Mi 6 also have may of cons. Sorry, A5 2017 doesn't have any advantages compared to Mi 6 and Zen 3 Zoom

  • What I means is this Mi6 internal storage can store video file more than 4GB? I know exFAT and NTFS can, but that is formatting Micro SD card. Mi6 doesn't has Micro SD slot, so only rely on internal storage.

  • You can just flash your SD card with NTFS partition FAT32 is limited to 4GB, any storage more than 4GB should be on NTFS

  • Mi 6,asus zen 3 zoom,or a5 2017

  • If anyone of you has the 64GB or 128GB version, can confirm for me if this phone's internal storage can store single video file that is larger than 4GB? I just found out this limitation on my Micro SD card where in FAT32, I cannot store file over 4GB. Advises are formatting to exFAT or NTFS, but neither of the format can be supported by my phone.

  • sometimes it has really low lights even though my room's light is on, so it's quite dark. its only happened while video call though, tried taking a photo with the camera app and it still gives decent results

  • after releasing the Mi Mix with gorgeous minimal bezels, Xiaoni be like: " jk we're sticking with old time design schmucks

  • Can someone can tell If the front camera quality of mi6 at indoor light has decent results?? Thanks

  • m waiting for u mi super 6

  • How the sound with earphone? Serious question, no insult.

  • For better performance and camera, go for Mi 6 but if you want a devices with 3.5mm audio jack on it, go for Mi Note 2 lol

  • mi6 or mi note 2?

  • 23rd July is the planned launch date in India as per the MI news.

  • Does the double/twin/clone app features works in the latest MiUI in Mi6? Thinking getting either Mi6 or Honor 8 Pro.

  • does it work on Peru?

  • 168gms for a 5.1 inch screen device means very heavy.

  • Does mi 6 work on 4G networks in USA? If yes, which carriers and how is the coverage?

  • when i will be available in India?????

  • Just got this Blue Ceramic - and it hasn't left my hand. I'm new to MIUI but I'm getting used to it and it's excellent. Gosh the community is HUGE. I have the Mate 9 (which is it's own excellent experience) and the 3T which is just rock solid but my word, the Mi6 flies! It's silky smooth, no later whatsoever anywhere, there's coating on the glass that makes you want to swipe and swipe. I am having issues with Bluetooth connection, I hope they'll sort this out. Despite the big bezels top and bottom, this is a beautiful phone! Battery life is a full hard day easily, the camera is 1st class, just not so good on very low light....and the sound. THE SOUND! I'm not kidding, the sound is so fantastic you'll will not understand how it's coming from a phone. I'm in love for a long time, I think.

  • Hi friends, how is the camera quality of mi6? Please share your experience..

  • Otg is perfectly working

  • what will be the released date for the White version?

  • Alexis Tan, excellent seller.

  • 23 july...

  • hi, how is the compatibility of Mi 6 with Indian network carriers like Jio and is their any heating on mobile data ? thanks.

  • Guys pls can somebody tell me does this one have serbian or croation language

  • Can anyone confirm if the Mi 6 has USB OTG support?

  • Is this set available in India?

  • When you jump from Redmi series to Mi series, believe me you don't want to come back. Especially if you come from Redmi 4A to Mi 6, you might hit your head why you ever want to buy a Redmi. Nevertheless, Redmi is a good choice for tight budget.

  • None so far, i got mine from ALiexpress. Delivered 8 days

  • Yeah its ok, I helped u correct it

  • Thanks xXENDER FREAKXx, and sorry for my bad english.

  • The XIAOMI MI 6 doesn't have "display" protection.........it is screen protection. XIAOMI MI 6 uses Gorilla Glass 5 for the screen

  • No IR port !!Shame on Xiaomi!!

  • mi 6 or S7 edge? whos better?

  • This phone is almost 800 usd in my country . Is it normal ? I bought my Xiaomi mi4c at a normal 145 usd .

  • Where did say that?

  • It has Gorilla Glass 5 on the front and back (if you're not getting the ceramic ones). Just read the review.

  • Learn to install custom ROM

  • To Xiaomi Company Please upgrade the camera. Please provide 5V 2A charger as you had given in Xiaomi Mi 5s for longer and better battery life and performance. If possible make water proof.

  • Install the official global ROM,the first global ROM was just released. Of course you're​ facing issues with God knows what the Chinese seller's installed for international users. Again flash the official global ROM...

  • Flop phone bad ram management battery drain very fast camera is very dull Go for oneplus 3t

  • Thanks for sharing

  • how does the GPS in this smartphone works in Europe (Belgium)?

  • Buy it from aliexpress I bought it last month received it this month after 30 hrs or so you have to update this phone custom charges is nil they are smart seller you will know when u ask the seller about it declare it at lower value but risk of theft in india can lead to worse nightmare or if packet confiscated by custom Camera is really solid and finishing is better than samsung. sometimes samsung screen panel comes out thats ridicules price wont reduce further if you love the phone just order it buy it

  • how is the battery draining issue& wifi issue, i read them on comments below. i would like to order it from aliexpress please answer my Q. please answer me. Do we need PAY ANY CUSTOMS CHARGE to recieve mobile here in india. answer me (anyone) it will helpfull to me. thank you.

  • What will be better?! Xiaomi Mi 6 or Blackberry Keyone?!

  • Go to wifi settings, uncheck the "turn off wifi when sleep". I think this solves issue. THis is something which helps reduce battery drain. Also for the battery draining, miui comes with a great feature. Automatic turn off and turn on your mobile. Give your turn off time some time around midnight and turn on time around 5-6am in the morning. You will see a better battery life and overall good performance

  • Snapdragon 835 an added edge.

  • No gorilla glass? I just lost my Mi4i because of the of any screen protection.

  • Xiaomi Mi5 or Mi5s @~230usd

  • What will be better: Xiaomi mi6 vs 1+ 3T?

  • There is a few problems on xiaomi mi6. Security: there is laws allowing the Chinese government to spying on your device, stopped from thief but not from the Chinese government. Design: there is a huge gap between the screen and the body. you can stick 3 A4 papers into the gap. The curved back cover is not as curved as you think. It's curve is less than the note 5. So the feeling on your hand is not better than the note 5. The home button and the fingerprint sensor is a worse version of the iphone 7. You don't have a feel of a button and there is a significant delay for the vibration feedback. They have removed the headphone jack which is not nice for most users. The 3.5mm isn't out yet and so it's too early to remove it from the smartphone. System:The system running on xiaomi mi6 is a heavily modified UI based on the latest android N. It sounds great for it to have an advanced android version. But the UI itself ruin it by changed it all over. You will face some problems include the system slows down by time, apps crash or freeze for no reason, not fully support English eg default keyboard. the only reason for you to buy this phone is that it's the cheapest 835+6GBram you can find.

  • And hopefully they'll put the 3.5mm jack back :)

  • The battery on the MI6 will last for one day easily if normal usage is the concern. Please note that the MI6 cannot use the whole 6GB of ram at any given time. This is a compromise to extend its battery life. I saw some videos and it has around 4GB of free ram if all apps are cleared from memory. I personally think that using the whole of 6GB ram at the same time would be an overkill.

  • What a beast ! way way way better then Iphone 7

  • Maybe some app is disturbing your system...

  • Soon announce by Xiaomi 6s & 6s Plus on different Display Size with Qualcomm MSM8999 Snapdragon 836 with RAM 6GB/64,128GB ROM, RAM 8GB/256GB ROM... Watch out by One Plus 5!

  • Completely satisfied with u

  • I bought Mi 6 through Ali Express, the phone came with global rom (as there was gplay installed in it i suppose) For the first few days the performance was very good and better than oneplus One (my previous phone) but in a weeks time i started to have issues like battery drain in half day and software issues wifi not connecting automatically or wifi not working completely. mobile data is getting too slow from time to time. Phone getting over heated in many occasions in normal use. I feel like Oneplus is far better option for anyone who is looking to buy new phone.

  • In this money range what do u expect

  • just ordered one,435$ on Aliexpress.Probably the best buy right now,and it comes with official global Rom,multi languages,all Google apps in it and Ota updates..The only downside- no blue one in stock currently :(,same money as 1+3T but mi6 is better,i recon

  • I have used le eco and le 2 I have used redmi too this is my redmi 3rd phone note 4 is 4 gb ram and 64 gb inbuilt I was nt getting the phone frm filpcart nor Mi store thn I bought it frm grey market so the best is redmi full marks to red Mi their R&D is superb Osam and mindbogling

  • This best phone in the market as of today. I have been using xiaomi and iphone since the last 7 years.. started with xiaomi 1 and now xiaomi 6.. Better than iPhone

  • Agreed

  • What about battery capacity ? is 3350 mAh enough for a day long for full day use? I guess battery is insufficient as it has 6 GB of ram which should require more battery.

  • No 3.5mm jack, no card slot, no QHD screen. Too expensive for such chinese phone. Not worth to buy.

  • It's mostly experience and editing. People actually refuse to believe that some of the shots I post on my instagram are with my phone. Its just that I have been using cameras (a 12Mpix handheld compact from sony, don't rember the model) since I was 13 and editing them since 17 (you could call it a serious hobby). The editing software also matters. I mostly use adobe lightroom and a little bit of Pixlr express in some pictures for a bit of artistic effect. The filter based apps that the playstore is filled with won't do any good.

  • Sorry for the very late reply. The Mi6 camera actually does better than the MiMix camera. NOT as good as my S8 Plus but it is good enough. And i have seen a few people in instagram who take pictures with their Mi6 and MiMix and i wonder how the hell they take pictures xD i mean when i look at the photos i dont even think my S8 Plus can do it. Maybe they use Pro Mode.

  • Hi, sorry for late reply. In Indonesia they have 2 versions. 64GB internal with Glass Back in Black Colour. The Ceramic version only has the 128GB version. So 64GB is definitely Glass. But 128GB has Glass and Ceramic.

  • Thank you for your time and usefull information

  • Honor 8 vs Mi6. Depends on the price of course. Honor 8 pros: -3.5mm jack -sd card slot (doubles as 2nd sim slot) -the cool fingerprint scanner that doubles as a clickable button -more LTE bands (Mi6 lacks Band 20 which is used by many European countries) -official Rom for most parts of the world -availability in most markets of the world Mi 6 pros: -insanely better hardware specs (sd 835 vs kirin 950, 6gb ram vs 4 gb ram, Adreno 540 vs Mali-T880) -better camera -a bit better display -slightly better battery endurance -splash resistance -a bit better audio quality General thoughts: The Rom issue is big for Mi6. Currently there is no official global Rom. The custom Rom's are not trustworthy (they might slow down your phone). The solutions for this are two: Buy a phone with the Chinese Rom (English or Chinese only, some chinese apps, you have to manually install play store) or wait until a global Rom is launched. The other factor is availability and pricing. Mi6 prices will vary (the most cheap option is an online 3rd party retailer). However, if these issues can be resolved Mi6 is far superior at raw power and will give you a better gaming experience. Honor 8 isn't a bad choice but it is just average. I would consider it only if it is has a bargain price tag.

  • Once again. If you have your hands-free connected with the adapter (all the time) headphone jack is not an issue (the only thing you can't do is listen to music while charging your phone which is also not recommended doing so in general). SD card I agree it is a bummer but it is Xiaomi's policy so...you know it will be this way long before (anyone can predict mi 7 not having an sd card slot as well). So your basic arguments are kind of weak :/ . As long as the battery is concerned it is average. 4000 is too big for this phone (in order for a batter like this to fit in the phone would have been "thick")... I would like 3500-3600 but still I consider it reasonable. The endurance test from gsmarena shows good results (slightly better than the well-known flagships). To conclude, your points are not the most accurate. To my mind the lack of Band 20 (for Europe), no official global rom, limited availability and import taxes are the core problems right now. A few months patience and the online 3rd party retailers might lead to a good purchase (price+rom).

  • No 3.5mm jack? Muahahahahah

  • One of the fantastic smartphone ever

  • Not having micro sd memory card for storage expansion, and no 3.5mm headphone jack are the 2 biggest reasons why I hate this phone. The memory card problem can be solved by getting the 128gb version but no headphone jack ?? come on, it's really stupid not to have that. Not even the 835 processor can help. Also, what's the point having SD835 with 10nm tech and all the bells and whistles for reducing power consumption, but having only 3350 mah. Come on, at least it should have 4000 mah, so it could last all day long. A test video on utub shows it can last 7h35m for gaming, with 4000 mah it's about +19% = 9 hours, this should be much better considering battery life will drop over time. A could-be-great phone but stupid decision to remove the basics a phone should have really cripples it.

  • And please, Xiaomi, if you ever decide to produce the Mi Max ultra that I stated below, don't reduce the battery capacity, remove the ir blaster, remoce sd card support, and remove sd card support like you do on your current flagships. Only Apple's iphone can get away with it because a sleek and classy slim appearance and brand name is Apple's ONLY unique selling feature and no Android phone can take it away from them. Yes, even Samsung. So stop copying Apple's removal of headphone jacks, no sd card, no FM radio, etc. Samsung copied Apple's dumbing down strategy in the name of classy but empty appearnces and in the end, lost many of their flagship customers to xiaomi's flagships due to removal of ir blaster. Xiaomi is apparently committing the same mistake.

  • I really can't understand why Xiaomi's flagship phones don't have FM radios or an sd card support while all its other lower priced phones have those features. Snapdragon 835 is becoming very generic and what sets apart one flagship phone from another really are these smaller, niche things/features: big, >4000 mAh batteries, larger than 6" screens, ir blaster, headphone jacks, sd card support and dual sim support. Almost all flagships with snapdragon 835 have stupidly reduced battery capacity, removed FM radio, headphone jack, sd card support, etc, all in the name of slimmer profiles/bodies and an ip68 water resistant features. They end up becoming too similar and generic that price and brand name becomes their only unique selling proposition which is not enough to change their market share. If Xiaomi wants to grab the flagship market share from Samsung, it has to offer features that the Samsung doesn't have. Copying Samsung's removal of FM radio, removal of headphone jack, removal of ir blaster and sd card support will only make it fare worse than Samsung. Give us a bigger than 6" screen flagship with snapdragon 835 and all of the features you removed above and you can be sure your market share will skyrocket. A Mi Max Ultra with 6.8" screen and snapdragon 835 will sell like hotcakes.

  • Hey friends I need some suggestion about honor 8 and mi 6 I know mi have sd 835 with higher clock speed and sd 835 is even fast then kirin 960 And other way honor 8 a great mobail in responsable price well i like perfomance for egaming So what if i choose mi 6 becuse of sd 835 ? But heard alot of bad review about bad rom managment and what when i get becuse of latest chip but it wont satisty me , i never hear anything bad about honor 8 Guide me guys i donot wanna get wrong device what about iphone se its very fast but sadly screen size is not good fo gaming right?

  • If it's not the blue model, check the rings around the camera. If they're gold (18 karat) then it's ceramic.

  • > because they do nat have any user manaul soft or hard copy. LOL What kind of user are you? Flintstone? :v Here's one anyway: > in additin you will have long problems with MI account. Specify one (or more if you have), don't just spread FUD. My Mi account is dated as old as Jul-27-2013 and I never have any single problem with it.

  • Yes it has an IR blaster. No, there isn't any SD slot on this one. But then again, you can get a 256Gb one for a little more than half the price of other flagships which probably only has 64Gb, maybe less.

  • I actually do use it. For video only tho. Under sufficient light my phone can do 4k@26fps(100Mbps). The quality is great. But then again under low light everything goes massively downhill. To keep a steady frame rate I need to drop the res to 1080p(20Mbps), EV to -1.2 and lock the exposure.

  • If that is the case, then you can try Open Camera. It has a dedicated manual mode and has plenty of options in it. I have myself tried it and it's amazing. Hope this helps.

  • still thinking of user manual? you must be kidding me dude...

  • There is a English software update that fixes all thos issues.

  • to be sincere this is just your bad luck... i have 3 years with my mi3 cant remember how many times on the floor without any protection is still beast, im playing allmost all kind of games and good picture, for the price 300$ when released now 3 years of course it worth. One of my friend have changed 3 Samsung from S3 (At same time and with same price S3 mi3). by the away im not Chinese, im not saying xiaomi is the best, but the price they are best choice

  • i reccomend not to buy any xiaomi smartphone. because they do nat have any user manaul soft or hard copy. in additin you will have long problems with MI account.

  • They limit availability by themselves and provide it to 3rd party sellers and sell the same for higher price. Low price is a marketing gimmick. As if they themselves want that their devices should be sold more by resellers than by them itself. Just creating Hype in the name of low price. This company is a cheat. It's just a organised way in which they get more price for the product and lots of hype for their product

  • Sample photos are not downloading

  • i dont understan whats "onefive" atleast u should give it a full Five... And this is a flagship Phone ,agreed but couldn't u make it kinda men type phone its looks cute like girls.

  • GSMArena does not specify if it has an IR blaster and in some people says it has SD support via second SIM space (like other Xiaomi phones). Could you clarify these issues, please?

  • I can take decent/great pictures with my redmi note 3 pro during day. The dynamic range with HDR is fantastic, bearable noise levels. But the resloved detail is somewhat lower than some other phones in this price range (huawei, galaxy J7, etc). And the panoramas are 1800px tall (could easily be 2500px). Also no proper manual mode. But it's still very good for the price. From the evening (6:30pm ish) my pain starts. It is next to impossible taking handheld shots. I need to take at least 6-7 pictures for one good shot that focused properly. With HDR it becomes even more difficult. I've tried google camera (a few different versions) but for some reason it doesn't work. It keeps crashing after taking a couple of pictures. Doesn't focus in pano mode. And crashes the instant I switch to video mode. It maybe due to the lack of camera api 2. And it is the same story with their flagships as well. Great at day. Redefining shit at night (use the picture compare tool for the Mi6, pixel XL, iPhone 7 - in good light it is on par with the pixel and maybe a bit better than iPhone 7, in low light the Mi6 doesn't even feel like a flagship anymore).

  • I like my mi5s plus because it built in app for selfie working really well. Pictures look amazing without any editing at all. The rear camera although not 100% like samsung 7 or 8 but still one of the best with DSLR mode setting. You can get better picture if you know how to use it. Learn different type setting for better picture.

  • Hawaii Mate 9? sorry, but are referring to Huawei Mate 9?

  • I didnt saw this phone live yet in my hands but from your review im disappointed with Mi6 display , Even Hawaii mate 9 got better display ... Anyhow other things specially camera looking great ... its a great effort for This chines company

  • If a you are not satisfied by the way that the default Xiaomi Camera app processes pictures, then you can always download the Google Camera App. It is way better than any other camera apps. In fact, it's one of the best right now.

  • Very Very poor camera quality according to standard of these types phone. Samsung's camera is much better than any mi handset.

  • i totally i agree with your statement, fella.

  • Lol

  • I already tried mi 6 and compare it to my 1 years old S7 edge (S7E). Here is my subjective opinion : - Mi 6 performance was superb but it really get terribly hot if u doing some heavy task while the S7E was better at multitasking and always had cool temperatures (such as gaming, downloading, etc) - Mi 6 not as simple as S7E (such as i can't make new folders on the gallery and copy or move pictures on gallery) - Mi 6 camera was good but not as good as S7E (in dynamic range, shooting HDR, manual mode, etc). 2x loseloss zoom was like a child toy, when i zoomed in with S7E, i see no difference, even when Mi 6 pic compared with my Friend's LG G5, its detail was lose by a par (G5 have much more detail and foliage). Dynamic range was shot and mi 6 rely on HDR mode much (and more slow to catch HDR). My only complains for Mi 6 : - No Micro SD slot - Buggy software (always asking to back up pictures even after i turn off back up features, and when i want to factory reset the phone, always saying checking your device location for a long time) - The screen was too little for me - The Camera was not so great (even losing from Galaxy S6) - I think there is No Futures Update (my family using xiaomi since redmi 3, and no one got a new android update, only OS update, i don't care people says "an update going to crush my battery life or i'm not going to because it's not safe".

  • Depends on your level of expection. Lol. How is the low light performance?

  • Errr, not trying to piss you off but the last time i tried copying 50GB of music(using Apple's USB-C to USB-C cable) from my MacBook Pro with TouchBar to my Mi6, Mi Mix and S8 Plus. S8 Plus won the test. Same thing happened when i copied 50GB of music to my OnePlus3T and S7 Edge. S7 Edge won. So my conclusion is that research and development really matters...

  • Hmmm... Mi6 camera did better than i expected lol.

  • Lol, the only phone i would say is tough is the BlackBerry Q10. Other than that is practically the same. Doesnt matter what material they use for the screen. IPhone 7 Plus, S8 Plus, Mi6, Mi Mix,G6,V20. Tried them all. And i have a habit of smashing my phones when i get angry. So i know best.

  • we are still waiting for review....please hurry up

  • I dont know with you, but have no problem for almost a year with my mi5. Dropped many times still ok, as i put tempered glass in my screen. Price when i bought is very cheap, not more than half of s7, with same processor. My decision to buy this is a very economical and perfect. Only one thing bother me, which i cannot expand my storage with sd card.

  • Suck, there's no radio

  • Thanks for being an example of the haters I was talking about. You pretend as if the s8 or g6 or any glass made flagship actually, doesn't break when dropped on the floor. The gorilla glass standard hasn't been announced by xiaomi. Doesn't mean it doesn't have one (it is actually more water proof than the pixel and they didn't even bother to say that). I am by no means claiming that it doesn't break when dropped. Maybe it does break more than s8 when dropped from chest height. But small or big, breaking is breaking and in both cases the glass will need to be replaced and its cheaper to replace on the xiaomi. Tempered glass screen protectors are available for 2.5D glasses. Don't know where you looked for them. They are not different from the regular ones. The screen might be inferior when it comes to toughness, but when it comes to hardness its on par with the other flagships. The ceramic variant is harder on the back compared to other flagships ( less prone to scratches). Lastly, I'd rather pay 3-400 USD less for a phone that is only more fragile than the rest, because i can just pay 2-30 USD for a good cover that will protect my phone even better. You could complain about the cameras tho. They use good sensors, but neglect the software a lot.

  • Also do not forget it has no form of screen protection. Dropped my xiaomi mi 5c a week after purchase and screen shattered. Couldn't not get screen guard to fit it's so called 2D display. It is a crappy device. I'd rather stay with people who know how to protect money spent even if it means spending a little more. Thank you.

  • You are right about the SD card option not being available. I was only going to buy this non brand phone to turn it into a mini tablet but like you said, there is no sd card option to even hold my install/files. It's a shame really, considering that it was the only factor that made me turn this 6gb ram phone away.

  • Which date mi6 release in india

  • I am waiting for this device..when it will be launch in India ? how much price ?

  • RIP price of samsung or etc. Thanks xiaomi for killing biggest vendors :v

  • Manufacturers like to not provide the option for SD cards because of some real bright customers (sarcasm) who puts very old or cheap (in short, slow and crappy) SD cards in their phones. This results in the phone getting very slow and then they blame the manufacturer. Xiaomi is still very new compared to its competitors. So obviously they have many haters (other brand fanboys). These people just need an excuse (no matter how stupid it is) to blame xiaomi and from xiaomis point of view removing the slot is one less way they can get blamed. However, their phones are dirt cheap. Here in Asia the 256 GB ceramic Mi 6 with the gold accents is about half the price of the s8+ and the other flagships. Just get that and you wont need a SD card.

  • It comes with Type-C to 3.5mm inside the box.... no need to buy.

  • Info on Mi6: There is a IR blaster, right on top

  • I was seriously considering buying this, but then I see one thing that makes it a no for me. No memory card slot, that is totally unacceptable in 2017. I was willing to let go of the fact that it has no 3.5mm audio jack, but not this one. The phone overall is amazing for its price, but not adding a micro sd card slot was a stupid mistake by Xiaomi.

  • I hope Xiaomi will provide USB headset and make waterproof on Xiaomi Mi 6s or Xiaomi Mi 6 plus. Just these two things that i want see on the Xiaomi.

  • whole thing about xiaomi - you can't buy it. I live in China and guess what - you go to MiHome and there are no mi6 for sale, you order it online and it says it's sold out. The same with mi5s 128gb. There are more than 5 millions of S8 already sold, and what about mi6? no more than 200k

  • Gsmarena fears to make a full review of this phone because then this cheap China phone will destroy the posers that come in the form of G6 , S8 and XZP. I mean just look at the specs. Front facing fingertip, flagship amount of ram disallowing apps to die in the background, plenty of battery, one handed usability, none of that 4k/ pseudo QHD gimmick resolution. Probably the cameras would not be that good, but even them have some good points (zooming for example)...

  • I wouldn't trust you (and I trust most well known youtuber reviews) until I get this phone in my own hands, Xiaomi wouldn't do such a mistake, unless you get distributor ROM then don't complain.

  • There's no direct relationship between MIUI version and base Android version. MIUI 8 is available for Android 4.X up to 7.X.

  • Of course it will be launch out side china but not now when sd835 become outdated then they will launch we will get one plus 5 sooner then mi6

  • How long should we wait for a review?!! What's wrong with you guys?!

  • Where should I buy this phone in India?

  • You have 3 options: -Use USB-C to 3.5mm adapter and use your old wired headphones -Buy USB-C wired headphones -Go wireless

  • You can use in box the USB-C to 3.5 mm Jack converter to use normal headphones.

  • it comes with usb type c to 3.5mm jack adapter

  • Guys, i compare Mi 5 and Mi 6. In comparison they showed that Mi 6 doesn't have audio 3.5 jack.So we need to use only wireless headphones with Mi 6.?

  • xiaomi mi 6 have Infrared port

  • It may be your outlook that the weight of a phone does not matter much. But the reality is different. In fact, the weight of the phone does matter because you cannot use a heavier phone continuously. Heavier phones tend to strain the hands and they are a royal pain when it comes to using it continuously.

  • On India, the worst scenario that you can expect is that Xiaomi will not launch the ceramic and stainless steel version of the Mi 6 in India. It doesn't matter much because the internals are pretty much same across all versions except for the storage.

  • Please see the colour of your phone. The ceramic version comes in black colour only. Another thing you can do is to scratch the backside of the phone. Ceramic is a very hard substance. It will not scratch easily. But glass can scratch easily. You can use sand to scratch the surface of the phone. Hope this helps.

  • Hmmmm

  • yes, usb type c

  • You should check video from jerryrig everything, in that video shown how mi6 have a more durability than mi5 frame. More plus point to make it worthed to buy.

  • Yes . i use my 64GB Sandisk flash with type c adaptor

  • can anybody tell.me. does it supports otg

  • Why would you need wireless charging when USB-C charges extremely fast...

  • Just bought the Mi6. Everythings good. Except that how do i know that i have the Ceramic version or not? Mine is shiny like my Mi Mix. Asked the seller and they could not confirm 100% thay it is Ceramic...

  • there's no 4GB RAM edition of the Mi 6, both editions have 6 GB of RAM, they only differ in the storage capacity as you see.

  • Wtf is redmi c6, there's no such thing

  • Too much hate for nothing. The phone is a beast. About the 3.5mm jack, get used to it (like the introduction of type C years go), it's same with HTC U11 & others flagships of the future. Type-C >>> 3.5 mm in terms of sound anyway. As for camera it's exellent in day light, maybe above average in low light but still we have no global rom yet to optimise it. As for stability, the latest chinese stable rom is doing great, no boot loops or anything bad, just people getting devices with shop roms which has lot of bugs & come complaining. As for screen, 1080p is more than enough for 5.1 screen. One more thing, battery is very good & better than mi5, pretty sure endurance score will be 95h++. cya

  • these specs are of standard edition or limited edition like they fooled in case of Mi5. they never launched the 4gb version in India. I expect no more this tym too. India will get a more feeble version of the Mi6.

  • abt MI5 C fall.. My MI5 fell fews days back and now its soft aluminium body is bend.. it hasnt affected working of mobile yet but not it wont fit on mobile cover easily.. I checked some MI5 destruction video on youtube and it showed dat this phone is not dat durable... Hope they make MI6 more durable to damages...

  • No wireless charging?

  • Is Redmi C6 and Redmi Note4 Same?

  • This is coming to india in 19 june??

  • Why this phone is not beihg put to reviews! Smacks intrigue, conspiracy. I hope Huawei seizes opportuniyu to put in improved homor 8 to beat this piece of snobbery . BS

  • Wait for oneplus 5

  • Then its not something dat xiaomi couldnt do.... Its something they decided not to do....

  • Any info about audio section inside mi6?Mi3 had good sound,but awful loudness,Mi5 with wcd dac very good sound and volume,Mi6 no 3.5mm jack,does it mean no dac either?I used all previous Xiaomis as digit.players connected to stereo amp+ proper full size stereo headphones.

  • No 3.5mm Jack!! C'mon, don't show the luxury of being an iPhone. This is even below OnePlus 3T. And the revolution in camera is nothing but just an app that is called "Background Blur" which is available in each & every Sony phone. I love the outlook anyways.

  • What phone u talk about u have it? Is xiaomi or huawei that are suck one?

  • There is IR. Check the JerryRig disassembly video. Still, would gladly sacrifice IR for a friggin' minijack!

  • no bro ! i have this phone actualy the battery suck + after 3 hours of heavy playing i feel alot of heat + the camera is not that great in general its a great phone but huawei battery is better

  • U should buy xiaomi mi 7

  • Xiaomi is cheaper and has better quality built, as a Huawei fanboy i understand clearly that p10 is overpriced. If i were you i would buy Xiaomi

  • Depends on your needs.

  • which phone should i buy, xiaomi mi6(128gb) or huawei p10?

  • It takes time for a company to go global. They grew too fast and they knew it's not good, hence the slowdown. So instead of going EU or US, they invest more in existing markets. They now have production factory in my country :) > To make matters worse, no form of protection on their screens. Rephrase that to: no form of protection on their screens mentioned, but you can always see JerryRigEverything, which always confirms that protection is there, be it the same as or stronger than competitors. > My xiaomi mi 5c dropped from height of about a foot and screen shattered, I was shocked. I'm not. After all, I consider all C series as experimental devices. My Mi 5 (without C) dropped from my jacket pocket to the bathroom floor (i.e. ceramic) when I bent down to wash my hands, that's over 3 feet and the screen is safe. > The TV box is junked with Chinese contents. Xiaomi never again. Buy the international version (that comes with Android TV instead of GITV / PatchWall), never their other TV boxes are made for outside China.

  • When the buyer incur 30k or 40k for a gadget he expects good quality. He doesn't bother about the weight of the product.

  • We cannot compare a mobile chipset with a desktop processor even if they have the same number of cores, same fabrication process and have same clock speeds. The main difference lies in how the chipset process the data. Most desktop processors​ use a CISC platform which stands for Complex Instruction Set Computing and mobile chipsets use RISC which stands for Reduced Instruction Set Computing. CISC helps the chip to execute many instructions at the same time, but in RISC the instructions are executed in a simplified manner.

  • I agree with you. But many people need light weight phones. So mobile companies have to make compromises somewhere. They generally do it by adding a power efficient chipset and reducing the battery capacity.

  • But you should also take in consideration about the materials used to make the phone. Generally plastic and metal bodied phones weigh less than the glass bodied phones. This is because there is a metal casing under the glass which makes the phone heavier. In the case of Mi 6, the metal frame might have added extra weight.

  • Oneplus is also much more expensive den xiaomi. Oneplus 3t currently goes at the same price as lg g5

  • Not neccessarily.... Zenfone 3 zoom has a much bigger display and body with 5000mAh battery and it weighs 170gm

  • i don't need neither of them, i love this phone very much, i will suggest it for every one who want buy new device

  • bro wt abt heating...? how much price your buy it..? iam ready to purchase this mobile so give me some feedback to us

  • I mean that battery capacity is not enough for my activity (for gaming all time) but, you know if I just use this phone just for usually activity I think it's enough (sorry bad english)

  • i'm already have it, nice phone, not big like samsung S8, not lagging, camera is good, smooth really smooth like iphone 7plus with bokeh, price is quite good, with snapdragon 835 this phone is worthed

  • I would've bought it if it had a headphone jack.

  • Needs an SD card slot

  • Can you please do a review of this device ? Thanks.

  • its still light for common people, especially for big hand.

  • The new oneplus 5 come with QHD screen and 8GB ram. I think mi 6 is not that good.

  • did you compare sd 835 vs desktop i7 intel?

  • Yes they give an adapter (type-c to 3.5mm)

  • Review Please !!!

  • And it would weigh around 200 grams with that huge battery.

  • In the box there is an adaptator to use your headphones through the USB Type C port

  • Is there any alternative available for 3.5 Jack! Inside the box?

  • Snapdragon 835 isn't as fast as you think! Remove your blindness and face it as it truly is. You better get used to it

  • Wait this phone does not have MiUi 9 i thought they release it with this since it already is on nougat

  • why it costs 600$ ??

  • from where did u buy the phone?is it available in blue now?

  • No headphone jack and no memory card slot. So it is a piece of shit

  • what is mi6 battery test endurance rating?

  • Xiaomi phones have very good software and some great hardware specs but they don't really care about their customers from other parts of the world who take pain to order their products from Chinese retail stores and wait nearly forever before products are received. To make matters worse, no form of protection on their screens. My xiaomi mi 5c dropped from height of about a foot and screen shattered, I was shocked. The TV box is junked with Chinese contents. Xiaomi never again.

  • Yes

  • It has infrared port, please update that inf! best regards.

  • Yes it has ir blaster

  • Does the phone have an IR blaster?

  • I think instead of imx 386 + samsung sk3m3 combination they should have used dual imx 362.

  • Indeed, bigger unit cell size + dual pixel PDAF. Why doesn't Mi 6 use 378 that was used by Mi 5s? It's proven to work great with even bigger unit cell size & sensor size than 333. But perhaps that's the reason why 5s doesn't have IR blaster...

  • this is good handset ,,,

  • S8's sensor is better. Imx 386 was used last year by meizu and even then it was just average. By today's standard, its crap.

  • You know nothing about camera sensors. Bigger no. does not mean better sensor. Imx 260, imx 333, imx 362 and imx 378 are all better than imx 386.

  • Besides a good sensor, Xiaomi need good lenses

  • Nothing to do with sensors. If it would then Sony would have better camera than others like Samsung, Google.

  • what nonsense you are talking dude...then which sensor you are suggesting for a Flagship phone..even Galaxy S8 is using imx 336.

  • S8 uses IMX 333 . I think it's all about optimization. Xiaomi uses a better sensor but still can't beat s8's camera.

  • Imx 386 on a 2017 flagship....???? What a joke.... That is a mid range sensor at best.

  • Does the chinese version work in europe? I would like to send as a gift to my brother, but not sure if it is going to work or not in belgium!

  • See techtablets review for now, it's the most comprehensive one so far (general, gaming, camera on separate videos).

  • You're fantastically cr@zy. Which flagship device can you get within that range. The phone have Type C 3.5mm adapter. Do yourself a favor and get a life.

  • Already bought it and super fast Best smartphone I ever used

  • Yup. Don't buy this phone

  • That's not matter.

  • You are maybe right about the first 2 points, but I think Apple did the same? About MIUI, based on your opinion, I think you have never used a MIUI phone for a while (one month for example), it's quite smooth (I would say it's better than Samsung UI) and packs with interesting and useful features as well.

  • I know that review exists. I even linked it in my post, in fact. I was mainly just commenting on the team here not having a review out yet and pointing out how there's barely any coverage on this device on youtube outside of the dude we linked and some subpar videos here and there.

  • Just 10yrs back Chinese made cheap, crude, cells and price same less than half. Don't ever consider quality controls of Korean, Taiwanes and American Brands are Better or Greater than Chinese counterparts, but margin of Profits is enormous, everybody knows of iPhone, 234$ cost sells 850$ average. 600$is net margin per piece. Chinese ask for much less. That's even difference. Forget non Chinese brand has inferior quality, but margins lesser.

  • You charge 460 $ dollars for a device without 3.5 mm headphone jack and you don't put wireless headphones in the box and you offer a device that jams, no sd card and a ridiculously crappy UI. Xiaomi, please die, thanks

  • Review above

  • detailed reviews for mi6 soon please.

  • I've been waiting on you guys to do a review for like 9 days now. It's possible I'm underestimating the time needed to make a review, especially with all the detail you guys provide, but from the fast rate at which flagship reviews seem to come up, I can't help but feel a little disappointed. There's barely any proper coverage on this thing, the best I found was these: | Do the flagships usually send review copies beforehand? Wish Mi 6 did what they're doing. Anyway, I'll be looking forward to you guys' coverage whenever it comes out.

  • Where can I buy this phone in Singapore

  • I want a mobile MI6

  • Yes, Huawei has a lead in Chinese market, but it provide products with expensive price and low performance. In China, Oppo and Vivo are from the same Manufacturer, and actually, own the biggest market share, it doesn't mean Oppo and Vivo products are better.

  • Go check Google and search Huawei is no. 1 in chinese market

  • Huawei is the best

  • Exactly. Don't be fooled by marketing, wait for independent scientific reviews such as the simple one GSMarena performs in their reviews to get an idea of what the audio quality is like.

  • ReallReally memory card slot And no headphones slot

  • Totally agree, mi6 weight is ridiculous. i dont see any reason why mi6 is 40gr heavier than mi5. their size is almost the same. so, is it about material ? i dont think so. playing with 160gr phone for a long time use is p.i.t.a

  • So you think that iPhones are made in the West? They are made by Foxconn in China and that's not a secret at all. The concept that "made in china" is sinonymous of bad quality is from the past century. Of course there are sort of slavery systems in many Asian countries (China, India and some others) but that doesn't mean poorly made.

  • 1 x Original Xiaomi Mi6 Mi 6 Cell phone 1 x Charger 1 x USB Cable 1xType-C TO AUDIO Adapter cable 1 x Battery (Built-in) 1 x User Manual

  • Dude really? No headphone jack? Why did u do that? Are u gonna support free bluetooth headphone withing box? Lol! Don't be silly.

  • Probably for one of two reasons: 1. Qualcomm charges royalties for everything, such as using whatever QC version for charging, or their proprietary CDMA (3g) bands for the US. 2. The QC3 charging boards might have been more widely available and/or cheaper. It was rumored the Mi6 was delayed due to Samsung buying all 835 chips for the S8/+, maybe that also happened with QC4 boards. Note that GSMARENA lists the S8 spec with QC2, but in fact it uses it's own "proprietary fast charging" which I just believe is QC4 under some contractual branding lease, because companies are using fast charge as a marketing statement these days (e.g. ON3T Dash Charge). Personally, I advise against using ANY form of quick charge, even when desperately required. Most phones these days don't have removable batteries and official, warranty-bound replacement will cost upwards of 100usd. Your batteries are likely to stay healthier up to 4 times longer if you decide to slow charge the device, but not all devices have the option to NOT use fast charge which is kind of a "we're screwing you with maintenance costs in the long-run, because you will come to us for replacements", right to your face.

  • When it will be launched in India ?

  • Why is it still quickcharge 3.0 when its using snapdragon 835?

  • Felt like this is a slightly larger version of Huawei P10, looks almost the same design

  • no jack too sighs

  • No. The IR blaster is still there.

  • better: - sd card slot - 5000mah

  • Better rendering performance than 2k screen

  • 1080p display on a 2017 flagship LMAO

  • No card slot. So die

  • You have no idea ow you are mistaken. Even a quality can cost less than top brands ask for. I have a Lenovo top model and for 2 years works with all possible excellence. And cost like half price of brand new S8 even when was brand new its price was 399 eur. Quality you speak of is a lie. In past we had a quality products they lasts for ages. In present as soon as your guarantee is over your device die as well and you have to buy new one. Or pay high cost for repair.

  • Sorry for my previous broken message. When we can wait for some examples of pictures with Xiaomi MI6? Or a camera quality test?

  • i really like this phone

  • Xiaomi Mi 6s Plus Storage must be 64GB/4GB , 128GB/6GB , 256GB/8GB DISPLAY 5.7" Resoulation 1440 x 2880 pixels BUILD Corning Gorilla Glass 5 WLAN Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, dual-band, Wi-Fi Direct, hotspot Bluetooth 5.0, A2DP, LE, aptX 3.5mm jack Yes BATTERY Non-removable Li-Ion 4000 mAh battery

  • So i can take it with me to the shower? :D

  • P10 like ... wtf xiaomi ???

  • When wiil by Quality Camera check?

  • there is no water proof phone, they are water resistant get your comment right.

  • IR blaster is gone?

  • I wonder if when these phones eventually hit the US in a couple of years and are either sold by carriers or are easily available unlocked if the price will still stay as competitive as they are right now.

  • The phones are made in same factories as the western brands. This perception really needs to change. Search foxconn on Google before saying this. That's my humble request to all commentators out here

  • FHD over QHD *is* more . You get better battery and performance for basically the same screen density. Unless you VR there is no useful difference between the two and if you VR QHD still looks horrible (IMO 4K is the minimum for VR). I hope more manufacturers would revert to FHD, QHD is like the worst gimmick of the century.

  • 1. Why should QHD ? Please note that Mi6's screen is only 5.15 inches, and with Full HD resolution its density is 428 ppi, which is practically indistinguishable (you don't stare your phone at 3-5 cms, right ?) 2. Though Mi6 is only splash-resistant, you could look at some videos at Youtube, it is more or less waterproof (for short amount of period, though). Waterproofing is only useful if you tend to take your phone for a swim .

  • Water proofing is expensive. But Apple and Samsung both get Foxconn to make their phones. Foxconn is anything but ethical as a look into their factories will tell you. Thus phone is essentially 98% of a flagship at less than half the cost. Water proofing is the only tangible advantage most of the flagships have over this phone. I'm not going to pay £300 more to get a waterproof phone. The ethics are not any better anyway either.

  • Yes this year they said that the price will be 360 usd for the basic edition but they charge 499 usd

  • No there ain't similar homie! Do you know it increases the cost of production when SONY adds water and dust certification to their devices? Again, you should ask yourself why Xiaomi is keeping the full HD instead of jumping on to the QHD. They tend to give you more while they are not, it's only the battery. I heard that the Dragon (China) utilises cheap labour at home, the West can not do that this is why apple devices tend to be expensive|| Quality, again, is better than quantity, a single house better built is more than two~Steve Jobs.

  • I have flagship from lenovo and it cost equal to any midrange phone from sony or samsung. Problem is companies and people are greedy. For same price of S8 or Iphone 7 i can buy 2 of my phones brand new. And specs are simmilar. These companies should really doesnt exist.

  • Definitely disagree

  • This phone is a clone of Samsung Note 5 by its design Disappointed with its Design

  • Why the price on aliexpress is so high? I purchased my mi 5 from aliexpress and was happy with price and phone. this year,???

  • If price between USD175-200 it will be reasonable price

  • Have mi6 arrived in some countries such as Indonesia, friends ...???

  • Whose loss Xiomi, this is going to be? Yors nd only yors. Whosoever, cheated, manipulated, nd discriminated with their genuine customers, got wiped out, be it any big name in d world. Xiomi is hardly any name to play such games with their customers. Especially Indian ones, who are passionate ones to those who stay loyal nd wengeful to those who act smart. If Xiomi do this foolish act, they will lose all goodwill earned so far and there is always a star rising up the Horizon! May be H will be d new star, the Huawei, star. Take a call anybody! We are ready to respond!

  • in indonesia I think its better buy an imported version. You can get better specs (LCD, camera sensor, etc) with low price.

  • Not releasing in India inspite of the fact that Xiaomi has an manufacturing plant in India. So strange!

  • Yes... You are right. 360$ for base model & 435$ for the Ceramic one...

  • Its very funny ... the original price is 360 but on aliexpress is 499 why they take 140 usd more ... i thought 50 or 70 usd more

  • I know that Xiaomi never release 3M++ rupiahs price or even flagship phones in Indonesia. Xiaomi must get out from safe zone like ASUS did. ASUS did great job here.

  • It also has an IR Blaster. Please update the specs.

  • i don't know what you mean but for xiaomi .. the mi6 is their flagship and what i mean about the size is that most of flagship trying to decrease the thickness and the weight of the phone see lg g6 it's 5.7 inch and just 163 g s8 it's 5.8 inch and just 155 g so mi 6 has the same processor as the s8 and it's 5.1 but 168 g !! so why i know it's ridiculous for some people but i have redmi note 2 and it's 5.5 inch and 160 g and i feel it heavy for me because i use the phone most of the time so when there is a phone 5.1 and it even heavier it gonna be bad

  • what is flagship???? Mobile with big screen size ?? htc 10 163 gm ,,xperia xz 165 gm...lg g5 159 gram and these all are flagships!!! s8 has snapdragon 835 processor and mi6 has same processor .. you judging phone by its price only...!! flagship hahaha

  • They just copied apple iPhone 7 plus camera but camera gonna be awesome if xiaomi use its properly

  • Global model comes with Google play store and Google apps.

  • Is this device has google play store?

  • When Xiaomi Mi 6 available in india?

  • do you ever own a mi5 before bro?

  • My point is Xiaomi had a lot affordable headset line up, so it will be a waste when they throw out the 3.5mm jack

  • OIS 4 Axis it's just gimmick on mi6..

  • yo! dont trust those rumors.. it will launch mi 6.. rumors suggesting that xaomi wont launch it coz ppl here wont buy costly phones.. so they gonna launch note 3 or mix 2 versions.. lol there is no logic in this point! as mix 2 n note 3 gonna cost 50% more than mi 6 (at least).. xiaomi has 2 plants here.. there is no such thing lyk Indians wont buy costly mobiles.. mi 5 was not sold as expected coz of launch of oneplus 3 at almost same price with better specs.. this year there wont be such problem coz oneplus 5 gonna cost more than 35k for sure as oneplus 3T still costs 30K.. xiaomi surely release mi 6 within june for 27 or 28k n reduce 2k price after oneplus 5 launch... so 25k mi 6 and 35k oneplus 5, the best it can do to compete oneplus, its 3 years rival for flagship device.. thats what gonna happen!

  • no much improvement over mi5. useless.

  • mi6 not launch in india so sad

  • he didnt know if a flagship has terrible battery backup

  • now price is too high as its launched recently and only in china (550 USD)... i suggest you to wait until its launched in India and other markets (may be in June).. expected launch price in India is around 400 USD as Xiaomi has 2 Manufacturing Plants in India... later on you can get it for 420 to 450 USD..

  • Try Aliexpress.com But it is around 500 $

  • Where can i get the global rom for 400 usd ?

  • this has IR blaster

  • Too small.

  • From where can i buy this devise online ?? I'm from Arabian Gulf . Ali express is cost 499 $

  • Yeah, that's what I thought too. Is there any error in the specifications?

  • Won't they be an IR Blaster?

  • why is mi 6 is too heavy ??? it is even heavier than the redmi note 2 which is 160 g and it's 5.5 inch and not even a flagship, so phone with 5.1 inch and weight 168 g ? ! even the mi 5 weight 129 g and why they didn't provide us information about the protection version on the screen ?

  • the sound quality of the axon 7 is not as good as you think.

  • Thanx for your comment,obviously we'll have to wait for mi6 to be properly tested by magazines and specialized portals to see what kind of audio specs will Xiaomi offer inside mi6,hopefully something like those excellent japanese AK dac/dsp chips inside ZTE Axon 7.cheers

  • Is mi 6 otg compitable or not??

  • !!!!!!!!!!

  • in Indonesia, an imported version has bit cheaper than authorized release.

  • One of the best looking phone I've ever seen, just not really confident with chinese software

  • in india hardly small difference in pricing

  • you dont know about flagship mobile. just go and take a look at midrange mobile

  • MI6 use Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 made from 10 nm. hopefully it will be more efficient on battery using without sacrificing performance. that's what I know.

  • Is this real, if yes I will not bother with this phone. If iphone ok maybe converter quality one step ahead

  • We expected Quad HD display but it settled at FHD and the screen size is less than 5.5" . Apart from these it is the best at this price point.

  • Probably all except China. In South Africa (where Xiaomi has entered a little more than a year ago) the Mi 5 costs R8000 ($600 USD) but I imported mine for R2850 ($215 USD). That is a major difference.

  • when is it coming to the us and dubai, please reply..

  • The correct answer is: we don't know yet. USB type C supports both analog and digital output. If it's analog, audio quality will be dependent on the DAC that Xiaomi has included in the phone (This means the USB Type C to 3.5mm Adapter is simply a connector and no audio degradation is expected with the loss of the 3.5mm format). The Xiaomi Mi5 has excellent audio quality, powered by the audiophile SA9018 chip. The Mi5s however - not so much. So it's a gamble. If it's digital, then audio quality will be dependent on whatever DAC you choose - but you have to buy it separately or used the supplied "Adapter" (In this case the Adapter is much more - It includes the DAC chip and possibly some circuitry). In this case, I recommend you buy an external DAC if the supplied quality isn't good enough. You can buy one of the best DACs on the market for about $16, so it shouldn't be an issue.

  • From where can i buy this devise online ?? I'm from Arabian Gulf . Ali express is cost 499 $

  • No B20 in the 800 MHz band technology :( bad again Xiaomi...

  • Why the hell it does not support SD card. And why not 4000+ mAh battery.

  • Really ??? i never heard about such things ?? may i know in which country ??

  • but LG, Sony Samsung OnePlus wont give you SD835 device for 360$. if headphone jack is necessary you can buy Nokia 3310

  • cheers,s3mm thanx for reply

  • Depends on the adapter you bought An expensive one should perform better and cheap one... Well cheap. The mi6 will be a perfect phone if it has audio jack(when they has lot of headset line up) The only company that i think are not going to remove the audio jack anytime soon is LG(boosting the built in quadDAC) Sony(they had lot of MDR headset series) and Samsung(recent acquisitions of HARMAN) also OnePlus(dont know the resoning dor this but just feel like)

  • I have seen this phone's hands on reviews and early camera reviews on a dozen different websites and youtube channels but no one is saying anything about the front camera. Other than the resolution we have no idea wats going on there....??? Xiaomi is one of the best when it comes to selfie cameras..... Let me knw if anyone knows about it.

  • What effect that adapter (type c>3.5mm) will create to the sound when connected to external stereo integrated amplifier?I really don't care about earphones plugged in,I use proper stereo full size headphones(fantastic AKG k550) connected to integrated amp(gem of an amp yamaha a-s500).Using that adapter will it ruin potentially good audio out from mi6?Any thoughts,guys?Or should I go for ZTE Axon 7 which has arguably best sound out there now..

  • in some country an official price is higher than unofficial imported version

  • that is imported not official one

  • Its not for sure because alixpress sale it for 499 usd

  • i still can't believe they took the jack. so sad. you feel me?

  • taking the jack is insane. xiaomi got crazy

  • LoL...if people can bought the phone then they can definitely bought a wireless headphone cause there a bunch of wireless headphone that are way cheaper then Mi6...

  • yes it priced at 360$

  • So mi6 price is 360usd for sure?

  • almost perfect phone i love it. the design wow. but it does not support 3.5jack sad. wireless headset is for rich people only :)

  • The specs have no major differences with OnePlus 3T, I would choose the latter. Octa-core consumes too much battery power. Quad-core is good enough. Bad thing is Mi 6 doesn't have 3.5mm jack.

  • why flagship come with small battery?

  • dont know what ur talking about

  • what kinda glass protection does it(mi6) have?

  • I already have a Type C to 3.5 mm converter and the sound output is horribly distorted

  • for me it's perfect but i want to know the screen protection first

  • Have Xiaomi forgotten their customer base are in developing countries who really don't have the extra cash to buy those expensive tin-can Bluetooth headsets and can't be bothered putting on an adapter just so they can use their wired headphones. Imagine how many times you will have do that in a day when the alternative is so much easier. Just plug it in and your good to go. They copied a feature no sane Android manufacturer should even touch with a ten foot pole. They reduced usability for the sake of copying a company that have stop turning out any noteworthy feature since putting a fingerprint scanner in their phones. Honestly anyone who supports this removal shouldn't bother with Android anymore just save your cash and buy that glorified IOS toy.

  • Any Flagship with big baterry?

  • usb port has more fragile than 3.5 audio port. I think no one to complain a 400$ mi flagship come with microsd slot, bigger battery, and a headphone jack..

  • then dont buy wireless headphone!.. xiaomi is giving a converter of size 5 cm within the box.. connect it to your headset n u can enjoy music with better quality in type c than 3.5 mm jack.. n xiaomi wont lose any educated customer as they know company is giving converter for free within the box n more than 8 million already pre ordered it in china! even you lose it, u can buy it for 1 or 2 bucks.. you can keep the converter connected all the time.. Only problem is you cannot charge at same time, but think its a safety measure as listening to music while charging cause over heating inside may leads to burning of battery.. Xiaomi also issued info on why they removed 3.5 mm jack.. first of all, check xiaomi have given at this price point.. for 360$ can you tell any other phone with snapdragon 835, adreno 540, dual 12 MP camera with telephoto lens, 6 gigs RAM.. atleast for 400$? 500$? 600$????? those who are waiting for oneplus 5, i am 100% sure its gonna cost more than 550$.. oneplus 3T is still 450$.. so dont expect its gonna be budget flagship.. its gonna be a flagship but not budget friendly one! HOPE MANY SHOUTING IGNORANT GUYS REALIZE WHAT XIAOMI IS GIVING FOR 360$.. if you can spend 800-900$, then no point in visiting this page.. you can buy S8..!!! you dont have to sacrifice anything, instead of plugging headset in a small hole u have to plug your headset in medium sized hole with 5cm converter!!!

  • i think 128GB is more than enough for a mobile..

  • Xiaomi said they removed audio jack because for more battery space. Its funny even this phone has small battery than other mid phone...

  • U can insert headphones

  • U can insert headphones

  • Mi 7 should come with QHD screen (like other normal flagship), stereo speakers, bigger battery, and memory slot.

  • hope mi 6 plus or next mi 7 better than this bad thing

  • A ridiculous decision to remove headphone jack. People who are saying stop talking about the headphone jack are nuts. I don't know if they are paid or not, otherwise I don't see any logic to support the removal of headphone jack. There are no wireless headphone in the market which has the sound quality of a mid to high end wired headphone (RHA t20/ Shure SE425). An adapter for a headphone is just unbelievably ridiculous and on top of that you also have to charge the wireless headphone, another headache. Apple lovers might love dongles to charge and listen to music at the same time but we normal people don't. I think MI6 lost one third of its potential buyer just by removing the headphone jack. I hope they learn and bring back the headphone jack in MI7.

  • The perfect phone made imperfect by the removal of the headphone jack. Why did u do this Xiaomi why do u try to be like apple when you can be better ?

  • It looks exactly like Huawei Honor 8. They use the same OEM assembly plant??? Sadly it doesn't support MicroSD expansion.

  • Stop fighting for 3.5mm port. Xiaomi is giving an adapter(3.5mm to USB type C) for that out of the box.

  • my 1st phone mi 1s, 2nd redmi 2 prime, 3rd redmi 3s, 4th redmi 3s Prime. Now redmi 4A.

  • without 3.5 mm jack ? i think i still with my mi5 :)

  • How was he complaining lmao? He was replying to another person who was complaining

  • Cannot find anything near suggested price (around 360 dollars for base model) on pre-order. So I'll wait...

  • stop complaining. even i own mi5 i still havent use my phone jack and still virgin.. using only bluetooth earphone..

  • Details on front cam plz.

  • No need to upgrade... I am still happy with My 3S prime.

  • there is IR

  • I believe xiaomi mi 6s will launch 6 months after with jack 3.5mm. To many fans get disappointed because xiaomi f uck off jack.

  • Carefully bro , the thing that make this phone is cheap bcus the most vulnerable screen, LCD . I think , correct me if I were wrong

  • No flash..

  • Its not about soc. Powering realtime screen, or when you area has weak signal, recording high 2k, and other will drain your small battery so fast...

  • hahaha lol

  • Good normal highend product: XPERIA and IPHONE.. Samsung is too overrated.

  • My redmi note 4x has good wifi signal, compare my older xperia. While my xperia got 3 bar then 4x got 4 bar.

  • Any news about IR port? One application I use very often on my mi4 is mi remote. NoIR port, then I'll keep my mi4 instead.

  • Redmi note 3 has a very weak wifi signal ; i don\'t know if all xiaomi mobile like this or redmi note 3 only

  • You can go for Lenovo ZUK Z2 for 5-inch flagship

  • Nice Move, Btw i'm from Indonesia too

  • Guys it has 3.5 MM Jack Don't fight. Hope it should be the flagship mobile.

  • because the snapdragon 835 is an efficient and energy saving processor bruh

  • definitely those people are not really wise perhaps, this phone is super bargain

  • yeah, losing the audiojack is an issue but at least the phone come with the adapter not like iphone. no fm radio? seriously this thing is a problem? use internet to stream music or download them 64gb is sufficient for tons of music files. designwise its lose the mi logo in the front, which make it less recognizable thus xiaomi cannot use the consumer to brag on the phone. latest processor, good camera, quite big battery, fast charge, slim design, cheap, what else people want? audio jack adapter also come together

  • that's coz, mid range phones have ample of space to provide bigger battery.. look at mi 6 specs.. for this spec they couldn't provide better battery than this.. ! n they removed 3.5mm Jack for same reason.. but made use of that by making phone splash resistant n also they are giving convertor for the same..

  • then why you visited this page

  • yeah it has. and usb port act has headphone jack dont worry

  • you can connect your wired headphone to usb port... try to adopt technology rather than relying on old technology

  • No headphone jack .... sorry, not interested.

  • They tried to jump on Apple's hype train and they missed it, badly. It's still a great phone, but no headphone jack? That's a bad move.

  • There may be a time in the future, when people won't use earphone.may be in 22nd century but certainly not today. so I'm not gonna buy this phone with wireless headset coz I have to recharge the damn headset also. thanks but no thanks xiaomi.

  • I really dont mind the missing of the head phone jack. Its not really a deal breaker for me. The phone still has bluetooth right

  • no fm radio. no jack no need this phone...

  • A great device. You can't get anything with better performance with this price, but no headphone jack for a medium budget flagship.... I'm not sure...

  • No headphone jack. Well, i would skip to Mi7 then. I'm a value conscious buyer, but even then, I can't leave without headphone jack. It would be a good prediction to say that a lot of people will not buy this product just because it lacks a basic thing like headphone jack.

  • Less Than ₹25,000?. I'm Buying This Masterpiece For Sure.

  • Mi rock. apple only have their logo value .

  • hahaha i am mi5 user, i skip s7, that time i.think wow high spec with low price. BUT this year i pre order s8 plus. why ? xiaomi have a lot problem. waiting for wifi, intervention, i remember if there s china special day its screen will occur, china olympic medals. etc blablabla. i give up with xiaomi and back to NORMAL HIGHEND. samsung.

  • They provide an adaptor with type c to 3.5mm converter. This comes along work the phone. So no more negative feedbacks on headphone jack :)

  • Because is not produced from Samsung and Apple he must have jack for earphone. Ofcourse that is not corect

  • copycat the bad thing from apple

  • why this flagship come with small 3000mah while other mid phone come with 4000mah

  • oppo is an another overpriced sh*t phone. If you really want buy overpriced product I suggest samsung, sony, or iphone. #salesnyajogetjoget

  • What was Xiomi thinking of when they decided to exclude the headphone jack? Do they think they are Apple! Mi6 is not even a remote competitor to iPhone, the people who will buy this phone has different tastes and budget. I understand Apple did it for money. But why Xiaomi? They're not going to get any money from other companies on headphone sell. It's a dumb decision, i for myself was looking forward to a budget flagship, but I have expensive in ear monitors, so at least I'll not be buying Mi6, maybe Mi7, if they bring back the headphone jack.

  • No headphone jack. Well, i would skip to Mi7 then. I'm a value conscious buyer, but even then, I can't leave without headphone jack. It would be a good prediction to say that a lot of people will not buy this product just because it lacks a basic thing like headphone jack.

  • The fact that xiaomi never even provide earphone is worst. Now, no earjack?! Mi 6 plus better have it.

  • Because they don't know samsung, oppo have factory in Indonesia. For service center are fast response because the component always ready, unlike xiaomi, sony, etc

  • Now day: wired still better than wireless. No doubt on it.

  • 182 gram weight.

  • Blue gold is damn cool! I sure will buy this phone

  • Love this phone so much. Why xiaomi doesn't make this design phone since 2 years ago? It looks outdated for now. But the specs so highend. The price is unbelievable! I think top and bottom bezel too thick if compared with G6 or s8. What about the thick black border from it's display? Is it still looks like mi5 display?

  • Lol. LG makes some moves but their product is trash.

  • Looks a bit too much like the Huwaei P10, which in turn takes cues from the iphone, which in turn takes cues from HTC. LG are the only ones who have the guts to take on new designs these days.

  • I'm waiting for a flagship with 5" screen or just get S7 for about the same price as mi6

  • I waited for this mi6 to see if I like it better than S7. Decision, I'm getting s7 for almost the same price.

  • Use Bluetooth headset

  • I pick the 5.1, smaller. I'm tired of carrying big phone in my pocket.

  • Wkwk that's right

  • I think you can use bluetooth earphone We cannot blame the design without audio jack.. No audio jack = use bluetooth earphone Low battery capacity = go with power bank..

  • Because in indonesia. Xiaomi phone has best speck in low budget.

  • In Indonesia, Xiaomi seems like has "Auto Win" effect. #MendingXiaomi They said.

  • choose the one with audio jack..

  • MI 6 is a flagship phone. if you want mid range phone you can take a look at Redmi Note 4

  • Add memory card slot, more bigger battery (while other mid phone come with 4000mah), and add audio jack. It become good flagship.

  • I want to ask for your opinion , guy's...!!! Which one will i choose, Xiaomi Mi 6 / Mi 6 plus or just keep waiting for coming the OnePlus 5 .. ?

  • for the price this phone is good..we still dont know about the camera performace but this is xiaomi so..ehm. if someone give me options whether to pick this xiaomi mi 6 with SD835 or samsung/htc/sony etc with the old SD820/821, i'd rather choose the latter because of the camera and overall quality, but still cannot say much because mi6 is not released yet. SD835 is just plain gimmick for most of ppl seriously you can live with SD625 or Mediatek Helio series unless you want to be KING IN BENCHMARKS APPS.

  • as far as i know all xiaomi flagship has no sd card slot so you cannot really say they removed the sd card

  • For everyone complaining about headphone jack, design, and sd card slot...👎. This phone has 64/128gb storage. Unless you want to see photos on a micro as card, this feature won't be missed because the majority of people that want a sd card is mainly due to storage issues like my ZTE zmax pro. Secondly, the design might be a little on the Samsung side, but for the price range, who gives a damn. You get a spectacular design with glass design, metal sides, and no exceptions what's so ever. Finally, the headphone jack. The phone already comes with a headphone adapter, so you won't have to buy one. And for those who want to listen and charge at the same time, they're some adapters that you can buy at a low price. Point is, for a $400 phone their will be exceptions, some weirder than others, but it's still an overall good phone

  • This is a nice phone but what happened to the xiaomi mi max 2. This phone is way too expensive for me

  • and your usb port become more easy to break

  • an idi*t company removed memory card slot and audio jack

  • Does this phone has a gorilla glass as a protection?

  • nice but heavy and no 3.5

  • Still without LTE 800Mhz (band 20) - it's ridiculous. Who needs a phone without internet outside ? Xiaomi is only one left who don't use that band..

  • charging n listening to music is actually a bad habit.. there were some accidents reported.. xiaomi helping you to change that habit :-D

  • Where is the best place to buy this? Every website are charging $100 more than what the original price is supposed to be.

  • will it have all nougat features like dual window and all that

  • yes

  • What if I want to charge and listen to music at the same time as I do every night before sleep?

  • Iris scanner, 3d touch amoled, leica camera.

  • Anyone know what cmos mi 6 used ?

  • Xiaomi delivers the Audio Jack converter in the box. So you do not have to worry about the Audio jack

  • Xiaomi give converter jack include in the box

  • LOL! just google about Snapdragon 835 and see what it is capable of! n then compare it with ASUS zenfone 3

  • You can buy 3 Mi6 for the price of one iPhone 7....

  • I cant find any details about the front camera other than resolution. Aperture??? Pixel size??? Autofocus???

  • I think they ve it covered on all fours. Homor 8 an otherwise good looking phone shall feel d heat and will have to come up with an update sooner than expected.To me dis is good emough for the current scenario. Only baddie is veryslow deliveries of Xiomi after they announce a phone. In the mean time many come up wid even nicer things. They will have to learn to deliver faster to make sense. I wait for dis one and invoke Honor8 to cover lost ground with a comparable beast. VoLTE enabling for indian market should be norm now, and many more features it lacks vis a vis mi 6! BS

  • yes

  • I desprated of this cellphone screen small no memory card no version 256g no headphone jack there are cellphones better of this asus zenfone3 delux zte axon 7 ...

  • try th xiaomi note 3 or note 4

  • Is there an IR bluster?

  • if you want a bezeless phone then why not get the Mi Mix?

  • will it have all nougat features like dual window and all that

  • small storage 128gb!? seriously! go buy a laptop.. battery is bigger than S8.. n it's 1080p FHD display with 10nm chip.. it's even more power efficient than S8..!

  • There will be plus variant for those who love bigger display.. and samsung S8, Lg g6 costs more than double this price.. xiaomi is giving flagship level specs already for 360$.. it cannot spend too much in design.. if you can afford to buy S8 then there's no point for you to be in this page!

  • Samsung s8 comes with quick charge 2.0 and they priced it 1000$ but xiaomi Mi6 comes with Quick charge 3.0 priced at 360$ . what else you want for this price range ??

  • Then you should buy Nokia 3310

  • 128GB is small for you ??? 33000mAh battery with SD 835 is small for you ?? Then what you want a mobile with 1TB memory ?

  • So you were using 6GB RAM 128GB Memory and snapdragon 835 in 2015???

  • mi 6 is more like 2015 phone rather than new 2017

  • small storage, small battery, and no 3,5" jack. I dont understand why xiaomi become next iphone sh*t

  • Relax bro....they already produced mi mix that is followed by LG and Samsung.This design is enough for me.

  • Display size should have been 5.5 at least. What those ugly thick bezels are doing on top and bottom edges in Mi6????? Look at Samsung s8 and LG G6. Xiaomi should come out of the rut.

  • we don't even know what O will stand for and you already asking for it?? Really?

  • just pre order this baby ^^

  • Does it came with Android O-ten?

  • No FM Radio is a disappointment for Indian customers. Can someone reconfirm this? India has a hue FM Radio audience with all cities having min 3-4 Govt / Private radio channels. Features like Awesome processing speed, good battery, Great camera, Dual SIM, 6 GB RAM, 64 GB storage, IR blaster, Splash resistance, Ceramic body, etc. are definitely welcome ! Apart from FM Radio (TBC?) and Gorilla glass, the phone comes very closer to being my dream Android smartphone !!

  • way too expensive for $400

  • Actually they are already giving convertor within the box.. we can keep the convertor connected all the time with our headset so that v won't miss it.. only disadvantage is v cannot listen to music and charge device at same time.. actually that's really a good thing.. it's not advisable to charge and listen to music at same time..

  • have otg?

  • to small memory. If there is no memory card slot minimum should be 128 gb and standard 256.

  • Wow, just wow. While other OEMs going nuts with prices over 800 $, Xiaomi keeps the things real, offering top notch specs for an extraordinary price.

  • why not quick charge 4?

  • ill dont buy this phone just because this phone dosent have 60 fps 1080 p video...

  • nice specifications. When going to available in india??

  • SD 835 +2 Cameras & Record 4K + 3350 mAh Ram 6 GB +Rom 64 GB + and only 400$ i think it is gonna be my next phone

  • i like its its very slim peace

  • i wanna know about the display and the usb v 3.1, would Xiaomi Company to use an QuadHD resolution or UltraHD resolution ( 4K) or still using Full HD , and why xiaomi doesn't use that USB v 3.1 for this device (Mi 6) . ???

  • where are you living. 10nm chipset use very less battery and it has 5.2inch 1080p display which consumes less battery.. and finally it has 3200mah battery that is more than enough unlike samsung s8 which has just 3000mah battery for 5.8inch screen

  • I'm agree with you thhis phone just for who wants a specs like flagship phone but not very expensive

  • I think the battery capacity is not enough for this phone (sorry for bad english)

  • We know that, but converter are inconvenience, easy to get loss. The mean mobile phone is using with mobile, convenience as must as possible

  • Yeh, exactly

  • Best and only easy way, yeh 👍

  • What about 800 mhz band? Will it be included in international model?

  • amazing phone:)

  • Look like samsung again ...

  • wait, is that honor 9???

  • This phone absolutely not for you.. go buy S8.. this phone is for people who cant afford to buy S8, but wanted to get hands on a device with flagship level specs..

  • One of d best beast phone wid specs, camera nd price,xiaomi always Rocks wid their flagship phones, hope soon it wl come to India.. 👍 👍

  • because knuckle head people charge their phone and listen to music

  • Why everyone talking about 3.5 mm jack issue...just buy 5 dollar usb to 3.5 mm jack convertor and enjoy...:]

  • one of the best phone at this price

  • Seems it is already being sold on aliexpress:

  • It comes with BT 5.0 and you can connect headphone to USB port

  • I think there will be other cheaper version

  • Woow beautiful.. Now wait for Mi6 plus.. Hope plus version with 4000mAh+ battery and jack 3,5 too.. hehehe

  • I'm sorry , i wanna know abot the display , would OnePlus Company to use an QuadHD resolution or UltraHD resolution ( 4K) , guy's ???

  • Moto G5 Plus

  • Yes, you r right. Hoping in next plus edition for FM & 3.5mm Jack as well.....!!!

  • try buy ulefone power 2 or xiaomi redmi note 4 eklusv (ram 4gb)

  • I don't understand people crying over the weight of the phone! It's minimal difference. I still think this is the best phone in its price range!

  • how about xiaomi brand?

  • for that got for MI MIX2

  • huawei y6

  • No headphone jack would be kinda okay if it comes with BT 5.0

  • zte nubia n1

  • Nokia 1100

  • I'm really disappointed to see the lack of a headphone jack

  • No headphone jack would be kinda okay if it comes with BT 5.0

  • i hope to see a cheaper 64/4 version.

  • Has using QHD display ????

  • For the price, I'll buy it without a screen with 6gig ram

  • I need a good low budget phone, any suggestion??

  • no 3.5mm = no buy

  • No bezel-less design and no 3.5 mm jack....Disappointed, a Mi5s with a different chip

  • for that go for samsung s8 (priced at 1000$) and dont expect that in 360$ mobile

  • Then Buy Redmi Note 4 or Redmi 3s/Prime

  • I use Hifime DAC with USB C output together with my Mi i5 pro. Then no need to care about 3,5mm jack from phone anymore + get better audio quality and higher volumes options then what I5 Pro provides today. This DAC is very small as well so carry it together in the pouch that I got with my Mi headsets. Great complement for Mi I5 and even better match for Mi I6 it looks like. :-)

  • 168 gram??? are you kidding me!?

  • I recommend not to buy. compare the frequencies of US to the one mentioned in phone specifications.

  • Nice phone. might be my next one.

  • Mi5 has poor camera performance specially framerate drop and OIS was just a gimmick. (But I dont know how the mi6 cam performance will be😅)

  • 168gram waight of a 5" display phone...horrible

  • Wait wait wait....... The Mi6 does have OIS

  • What would u expect from this budget flagship at this price????????

  • Impressed with this device but have some questions about it. Does it have a protective strengthened glass like Corning Gorilla Glass 5 or atleast 4, does the OIS work properly unlike the Mi5, will their be a framerate drop in videos like other xiaomi phones and whats the name of the camera sensor of the mi6.

  • Completely useless. I was hoping Samsung will keep the 3.5mm jack and stop this madness, but didn't expect other will follow Apple anyway. The lack of SD slot too. I'll need to buy the 128GB version to have enough storage. Guess what? Not gonna happen.

  • Even though the new Xiaomi mi6 will not have a headphone jack, it is rumoured that Xiaomi is gonna come up with bluetooth headphones for the same in a few days/weeks, so we needn't worry about this feature. :)

  • Would like to know if i buy the phone in India will it work in the USA too ?? pl do advice.

  • I was waiting for this phone to release for about a month or so. Now that it's released,I was so happy to it has: 1.A great camera setup 2.stunningly premium look 3.large battery 4.stereo speaker. 5.evrything. But guess what,I didn't even look a the headphone jack section of specs. :) Why?Why in the world Xiaomi would remove a headphone jack?Is it so hard to drill one in the phone?

  • Battery should be 4100 mAh

  • Without hedphone jack? And just splash resistant? OMG splash????? C'mon now a days the flaghship is water resistant.

  • No wireless charger and no iris scanner and no 4k display just new chip and color ,design

  • Is the front camera has f1.8 or just f2.0 lens?? Pls advise

  • by weight, its in same league as 10 other similar phones, top ones, but still. mi5 stood on top, of top phones, in this aspect. and so I got it. this mi6, pffff. never ever.

  • WWhat ? NO headphone jack 3.5mm? NO radio? NO OIS ? ... NO thank you XIAOMI , goodbye and good luck

  • Many questions, but also i wanna know about : -Has This device using QHD resolution and Ultra HD or still using Full HD ? -Has it using full metal or ceramic ? -would Xiaomi released for Mi 6 plus too ? -why not using Usb v3.1 and 3.5 mm jack while the others flagship like S.8 and sony xpremium has used it ?..

  • Did you seriously just ask which is bigger 5.15 or 5.5 inch ROFL

  • Is it have gorilla glass (4 or 5)? please guys tell me ??

  • The weight, is too heavy for 5.15" (at least for me). Stainless steel or anything else is very good, but the weight, not suitable for everyday use.

  • this cellphone is akward small screen no superamoled no jack 3.5 no card memory I prefer asus zenfone3 delux

  • According to this image: yes. It's the one beside the secondary microphone.

  • of course 5.5 / 5.50

  • wah nice color...i like it...how much huh? no headphone jack? ok nobody care about jack anymore, type c can do alot already.. if not bluetooth headset

  • Whatttt? No IR blaster? I saw a black spot on the top of the phone last night and now gsmarena confirmed that it doesnt have? And there is no 3.5mm jack? SHI.T XIAOMI, GO TO HELL WITH YOUR CHANGE, FAILED PHONE FOR ME!!!

  • So disappointed with those huge top and bottom bezels, a downgrade in terms of design compared to Mi5. So I'm hoping that so called Mi6 Mix with 100% 6,4" front screen comes out real, that would be outstanding!

  • Has this device using Ultra HD / Quad HD resolution or still using Full HD resolution... ?

  • This phone has no grip. It might be fallen by anyone. But phone camera is good enough. I am thinking that why you are coping iphone? No 3.5mm jack. What happend?

  • No 5.7 no deal.

  • What is wrong with Headphone Jack?

  • Few reasons why i will skip this one even tho i loved to see what SD 835 can do for a low price. No headphone jack,no radio,no sd card. The camera was average,judging by the chinese reviewers examples. The back of this phone is plain terrible.It looks like cheap plastic back with metal brushing/polishing and it's quite inactractive for me,compared to how decent mi5 and mi5s looked. And still no QHD screen.The Miu looks ok but not too good like previous versions. The only thing i'd get from this phone is SD835 and 6gb of ram and nothing else.Might as well buy any phone out there with Sd 821 that offer more than rough hardcore specs on paper. I mean i can tolerate some flag-ship things that are missing,like QHD screen,stereo speakers and water proof,but this is way too little to offer.

  • Im a proud mi5 pro user too! great phone

  • It has Usb type c to 3.5mm jack (in the box), so stop say all the time that there is no 3.5 jack. This is technology. Well done Xiaomi!!!!

  • When Xiaomi launching mi 6 in India. Does they have 3d glass

  • If you're asking which one is bigger 5,5>5,15.

  • The phone is nice and all but where's the xiaomi mi max 2?

  • been waiting for mi 6 just to know there's no 3.5 mm jack

  • I can see infrared in some pictures yet there is no infrared in specification Does it really have infrared?

  • Nice huawei P10 copy. Wondering what would happen if they sue xiaomi...Oh wait both are chinese so it's legal to copy. Seriously tho, the lack of 3.5 jack is outrageous. Apple can handle criticism because the bitten fruit is already a huge logo. Iphone remains a showing off tool, while xiaomi loses customers.

  • Apart from the lack of the 3.5mm jack, FHD instead of QHD (of today's flagships), and display size is 5.15". The biggest lack/throwback of the Mi 6 is the SD card slot, unfortunately.

  • 5.15" is roughly close to 5.2". Therefore 5.5" screen is bigger than that.

  • Removing the headphone jack was a bad bad idea. Even Samsung kept it for a reason. Because it's not time yet to remove it. Xiaomi ain't apple that they can do whatever they want and get away with it. It's really a poor decision for an uprising company.

  • bad design...

  • I am getting this one.. Wish the display is end to end as shown in the pics n doesn't have that black line all around it.. This phone is perfect in every way.. Finally wide angle lens in a phone other than g6 at half the cost..

  • Bazal is biggest turn off .its too occupying ...

  • So disappointed, does anyone know when OP5 will get released?

  • It doesn't have a jack however it supports audio over usb C port. But sure wish it had Band 20. I think it will be a great phone just like the Mi5 Pro I have now.

  • i have used mi4 and then mi5 as well... both the phones have been amazing... and after using miui i cant go to any other phone company because miui is the best if you want control over your phone without rooting and all

  • have you even used miui?? it is the best skin of Android and it has features which no one gives... so dont call it shitty please.... stereotypes

  • I'm really surprised with that, now I don't want a mi 6 anymore too :(

  • Best android phone for me. I do not need a 3.5mm jack. I need waterproofing but not so important, reliable UI, big battery and small 5 inch screen. That is it.

  • Still no lte band 20 (800 Mhz) and now no 3.5mm headphone jack. Not only no improvement but it's even getting worse. No to Xiaomi.

  • This one is a beast. SD card was never a concern for me untill it has more than 16GB of internal storage. And the beautifully 4-sided curved edge design is an eye-catcher. I own an MI4 which still gets updates besides being a 3 year old device. Also, the Image Processing algorithms of Xiaomi are mind blowing, you always get a best shot no matter what sensor is sitting behind. My MI4 still takes the best photos out there. So, 12MP+12MP is going to blow minds. I do follow DXOMARK and GSMARENA rating for camera who rate samsung and Pixel phones the best camera out there. Come on man, we are not detectives/cops to dig deep into the photos and identify artifacts. We are normal people who rate the overall photo considering how good it looks. And I am more than happy with MI's camera output both Front and back.

  • Oh yaa , when it to be released in Indonesia and many countries, and i have one question : Which one of the biggest between 5.15 inch and 5.5 ich ???

  • Mi6 is overall a nice phone with great specs and provide best value of money. I was waiting for a long time for this phone, but become highly disappointed and decided not to buy it due to lack of 3.5mm audio jack.

  • So go for s8 if money doesn't matter to you. This phone is for people who want to save money and have a great phone

  • one of the big mistake in this mobile (mi 6) there are no EXTERNAL MEMORY CARD SLOT so this will be PLOP ....

  • no headphone jack, you are not apple, don't try to be one

  • No headphone jack, so no Mi 6 for mi! Just get an Honor 8 and be done with it. I will say my Mi 3 is one of the best phones I have ever owned. Still one of the smoothest phones after nearly three years using it. I prefer MIUI far more than Samsung's Grace UX. My phone still gets updated and hasn't slowed down since I got it. Also, typing on this bezel-ful flat screen is wonderful. Typing this comment now on my Mi 3 and it is like night and day against the S7e. I trust Xiaomi far more than Samdung. Curved display is a joke. Zero gain. Nothing more but to cater to shallow hipsters easily fooled by mirages. I should've got the S7 flat.

  • Dude xiaomi don't do marketing like Samsung or they don't have store so it directly help them in saving cost of extra employees, extra taxes, charges of stores etc and reality is that Apple and Samsung are looting by their brand name but aren't any superior

  • This is 2017, not 2027, why they remove 3.5mm head phone jack? For better music feeling only? Cuz 7.5mm is quite thick with no 3.5mm jack in it. If it's for music, sorry I only listen music on my phone for relaxing, Im not musician or singer so I dont need hi-end music device (actually listening music via usb type C headphone is not so big different, noob Xiaomi). And all body is glass? Congrats! You will lose your SQUISHY BABE anytime, or use money to heal her injury. Bye, see you soon Mi7.

  • Sure keep your treasure. Not gonna waste time on this shit

  • For who praises those who support Iphone then remember one thing that they are looting money from your pocket. Be realistic and do not be proud that you won IPhone which is nothing.

  • does it have infrared blaster like other xiaomi ?

  • Go to China if not released yet in your country

  • Here in Indonesia we still waiting for Redmi Note 3 officially launched India market is the 2nd market target of xiaomi, you should be grateful for that. Not all countries have the privilege to have xiaomi officially launched in their country. We, Mi fans Indonesia mostly got the phone from unofficial seller that comes with full of bloatware rom

  • You jumped from iPhone design to Huawei Honor 8 design.....Wake up build it own

  • So a brand new SD835 mobile, yet no headphone jack, no SD Card, no removable battery, no LTE B20. WTF?!? :-/

  • Step aside and don't buy then, this beauty is mine.

  • Impressive specs for an unbelievable price! And probably won't explode! Xiaomi, is blowing smartphones market away ... Only fanboys or uninformed people will splash 700 or 800 € in phones with similar specs and construction ... and that explode ocasionaly ...

  • oh my, didn't notice it has no headphone jack! this is definitely not a power user smartphone. women might like the design, but as mentioned in one comment, they won't exchange an Apple for this one.

  • 1. They don't make their own LCD. They import from other manufacturers. 2. I'm not a choolist like you to store porn in phones. 3. So according to you more than 1080p are bought by humans? And you buy 1080p they makes you other than humans? Do you understand a thing you type or say? 5. I use class 10 SD card I have no problem like decrease in speeds

  • Go follow yourself. There are other brands such include these features they are still the best. Apple and iOS was taken over by Android many years ago

  • Yes absolutely this phone is purely based for those who can compromise anything to save money. For others quality and new tech is important

  • haha women will never give up their iphones for xioami

  • amazingly, it has no camera hump despite the two cameras. the sensor size isn't much smaller compared to Mi5 but quite lagging versus the flagships with 1/2.5 or 1/2.3 sensors and which the Mi5s has. Mi 6 is certainly a nice design with reasonable cost. I hope they become more successful especially with women. However, the only powerful feature of the Mi6 is the SoC only. It misses an OLED display, a huge camera sensor, storage expansion, and having the glass back which I don't prefer. I will have to wait for the next One Plus

  • Does it have any gorilla glass this time ? also, is the dimension right ?

  • The screen is too small for me I was hoping to see the Mi6+

  • I heard it was launched a few hours ago but i feel not satisfied with a little specs in many sector like : - doesn't use a USB v3.0 -not use Qhd resolution -no SD Card -and many things other . But it's all not bad !

  • Sorry, Xiaomi but size does matter in 2017... I understand that some people (particularly in Asia) have small hands and all but at least release a bigger version for those of us who don't have small hands (Mi 6 Plus)

  • then you build one mobile for you

  • I was surprised with the dual camera and the minimum storage offered by xiaomi.All of them make the price exploded!!!i'm really-really sad for that shit

  • I don't use small screens in 2017, bye Xiaomi.

  • No Mi 6 Plus ? The screen on the Mi6 is too small and using multiple windows on it is a joke... it's a no from me, Xiaomi.

  • Why MI is not putting front MI logo, sometimes I feel angry about this, look poor without front logo.

  • corning gorilla glass protection is given or not??

  • is has band 20? which band does it support for 4G Lte?

  • 5.1" phone @168g! #What-The-Heft!

  • Iphone copycat in design.. Worse screen-to-body ratio and much heavier compared to Mi5.

  • Just like "phone made of glass" became the high-end premium for whatever reason, apparently "plugging your headphones into your USB port" is following suit :(

  • you lost me with headphone jack
