Mi 6 comes in 5.15-inch IPS panel with Full HD resolution. The IPS panel is superb, displaying 99.2% of the sRGB colour space. While the pixel-perfect contrast ratio of 1,266:1 does wonderful justice to images captured with the Mi 6’s dual rear cameras. A maximum screen brightness of 645cd/m2 is incredibly well-suited for use out in the bright sunshine. The Mi 6 packs an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor which makes the phone an incredible performer. Graphics power is just as imposing. A GFXBench Manhattan 3.0 onscreen result of 57fps is splendid. Xiaomi Mi 6’s battery life and despite all that power, longevity hasn’t been hurt. Having a battery capacity of 3350mAh, the phone can last for a day with no problem when fully charge.

The Xiaomi Mi6 has two cameras on the back. Rather than offering a secondary monochrome sensor as with the P10, or a wide-angle lens as with LG’s G6, Xiaomi has gone the same route as OnePlus and Apple, supplying a secondary, 2X telephoto zoom sensor which works in tandem with the main camera. Mi 6 is the phone that is worth buying. It offers a fantastic alternative to those pricier handsets, without a single sacrifice in any aspect: from performance through display quality to battery life.
