Xiaomi Mi 6X Expected to Come With Better Rear Cameras than the Redmi Note 5 Pro

Xiaomi’s upcoming smartphone Mi 6X has been spotted on Chinese regulator TENAA website a number of times. The TENAA listing of the phone reveals it is powered by an octa-core processor that clocks at 2.2GHz. Earlier reports hinted the Mi 6X would be featuring Snapdragon 636 SoC or Snapdragon 660 as both the chipsets are clocked at 2.2GHz. However, the fresh information reveals it could pack MediaTek Helio P60 SoC under the hood. This would be a fine alternative to the Snapdragon 636 SoC as the Helio P60 has four Cortex-A73 cores, but the Mali-G72 MP3 GPU doesn’t match the Adreno Graphics unit present on the Qualcomm chipsets.

Further, the TENAA listing revealed that the Xiaomi Mi 6X would come in two variants based on memory configuration. These would be a 4GB RAM + 64GB storage variant and a 6GB RAM + 128GB storage version. Though live images of the phone hint a dual camera setup, the website only lists one 20MP sensor on the back. The front side is too said to feature the same 20MP selfie camera.

Recently, XDA Developers Editor-in-Chief Mishaal Rahman shed some more light on the cameras of Xiaomi Mi 6X. He claims the handset may feature Sony IMX486 + IMX36 dual camera system and Sony IMX376 front-facing camera. This means the main shooter of the primary dual camera setup is the 12MP, 1.25 µm paired with a higher resolution 20MP, 1 µm secondary shooter. The selfie camera will use another IMX 376 20MP sensor. These are the upgraded cameras found on the Redmi Note 5 Pro.
