The Affordable Xiaomi Mi 6 Could be a Setback for OnePlus 5 And Honor 8 Pro in India

Xiaomi’s Mi 6 could be a major game changer in the country with its beastly specifications tantamount to those of the OnePlus 5 and the Honor 8 Pro, currently ruling the mid-range smartphone market in 2017. Add to this Xiaomi’s aggressive pricing strategy that we’re all already well aware of, and we could have a possible premium flagship winner here.

Going by the specifications of the Xiaomi Mi 6 on paper and its cost balancing around the price range of Rs. 25,000, it has the potential to disrupt the hype created by OnePlus 5 and Honor 8 Pro among buyers. And here’s why. Xiaomi has gone for a slightly compact 5.15-inch display despite the current industry standard being the 5.5-inch display that is common in mid-range smartphones – because who doesn’t love a phone that fits easily in your pocket.

Furthermore, not opting to go for a Quad-HD display gives it bonus points as it saves more battery and also offers a great viewing experience, both indoors and outdoors. The Mi 6 then has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 Soc under the hood, which is rated quite highly and is also present in the OnePlus 5 and the Samsung Galaxy S8.

Looks-wise, the Xiaomi Mi 6 boasts a design combination of glass and stainless steel and is available in a slew of colour options for you to pick from. Just like the bezel-less Mi Mix, the Xiaomi Mi 6 also comes in a limited-edition ceramic version, which is supposedly much stronger than the regular Mi 6 models. We know for sure that the Mi 6 is ‘splash-resistant’ but cannot confirm if the phone will come with a protective covering.
