It features a 12 MP dual cameras at back and another 8 MP front shooter for selfies. The flagship device i.e. Mi 6 also ditched the 3.5 mm audio jack in favor of a USB C type port.
The pricing of Xiaomi Mi 6 starts at at 2,499 yuan (~US$ 360 / Rs. 25,000) for the 6 GB RAM + 64 GB ROM variant which is considered as a major jump compared to previous years. Thanks to a higher pricing, rumors were floating about a lower variant of Xiaomi Mi 6 which may be powered by upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 and with a much lower pricing such as 1999 Yuan. But it seems that the rumors of a Snapdragon 660 powered Mi 6 are wrong, as it is now officially dismissed by Xiaomi as "Fake".
