Xiaomi Mi 6 stops by at AnTuTu, to be unveiled today

After all the wait, it’s official now. Xiaomi will pull the wraps off its next flagship, the Mi 6 today at an event in China. Well, for launches like these, vendors usually send out invites a week or at least, a few days in advance to press. This time around, though, the company kept mum until its official social media page on Weibo confirmed yesterday that it would be officially launching the smartphone today, i.e., on April 11.

In the past couple of weeks or so, the Xiaomi Mi 6 has become the talk of the town. Just after Samsung made the Galaxy S8 and S8+, rumours started pouring in thick. Today is no different. The Mi 6 was spotted paying a visit to the AnTuTu benchmarking site revealing the key specs, thanks to the earlier leaks.

For those who care about numbers, the Mi 6 managed to score 170,000 points on AnTuTu which is not at all surprising. Well, you already know why (at least, most of you)! Anyway, no points for guessing, all the credit goes to the Snapdragon 835 chipset. Also, that’s quite an improvement from what the Mi 5s managed to score last year on AnTuTu.

Going by the listing, the Xiaomi Mi 6 is being currently referred to as Sagit which falls in-line with the earlier rumours. The device is spotted running Android 7.1.1 Nougat, that’s good news. There will, of course, be a layer of company’s MIUI on top of it.
