Technical sheet of Xiaomi Mi6

Description

Xiaomi gives a new twist to their latest best sellers the Xiaomi Mi 5 and Xiaomi Mi 5s and presents the Xiaomi Mi 6, the new flagship terminal for the year 2017. Here you have a complete comparison between these three terminals. Although the latest releases in this range lack a groundbreaking design and place the emphasis on continuity, Xiaomi presents us with a very functional mobile with features that are more than surprising.

Its 5.2" screen makes this a perfect mobile to be handled comfortably by any hand size and it is more than enough to play multimedia content of any kind.

It has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 2.45 GHz processor along with a Adreno 540 GPU card, also accompanied by 4 Gb to 6 Gb of RAM (dependent on the version) and 64 GB to 128 GB of storage, although in this case they are not expandable by SD card.

Perhaps one of the most remarkable points of this mobile is its exceptional camera, with a double Sony Imx386 sensor that allows you to perform background blur effects in the style of a DSLR reflex camera. This double sensor also gives the phone a 2X Optical Zoom.

The 3350mAh battery is more than enough to get through the day problem-free, even with heavy usage.

To all this must also be added its complete connectivity, including NFC and a fingerprint sensor in the front, the latter being one of the fastest in the world market.ackground blur, like DSLR camera style.

  • Really nice smartphone, one of the best flagships back in time.

    It's no longer my phone, I changed it a few years ago already, but I can definitely say it was one of the best smartphones I ever had. It feels solid, human friendly and it was really great performant. However, I had a minor issue with the touchscreen that was kinda detecting false touches, and it made the phone unusable (but probably it was just an issue with my specific device).

  • Solid choice still in 2022

    I've had this phone for about 4 years and now it's time for a change because of the battery. Nonetheless, the experience has been outstanding. No complaints rather than the obvious effect of time. I'm not the type of user that plays games, but for everything else this phone has run smooth and steadily always. It is very resistant to falls and the camera is mediocre, which I didn't care about.

  • A Marvellous Phone

    Despite being bought some three years ago, the phone still serves as though it were bought yesterday. Within all aspects, the phone is amazing!

Ki Cost-effective
Score
Not available
What is a Ki score?
Ki is an automatic score based on the specifications and prices of devices. It is calculated using over 200 variables to rank smartphones, tablets and other devices from best to worst.
How do we calculate the Ki?

In this case, to determine the score we evaluate 5 general aspects:

  • Design and screen
  • Hardware and performance
  • Camera
  • Connectivity
  • Battery

Once these 5 factors have been rated, we introduce the price variable. This means that any two devices with the same ratings get a different Ki score for quality vs price.

Even a device objectively worse than another may have a higher Ki score if it has a better price.

Does the Ki score change?

The Ki varies as time goes by. As new devices with better specifications enter the market the Ki score of older devices will go down, always being compensated of their decrease in price.
