A Xiaomi Mi 6 sketch was leaked, and it shows that the upcoming phone will have a dual camera setup. The sketch also shows that the top and bottom front of the phone will have thick bezels.

There are speculations as to whether or not the Xiaomi Mi 6 will have a dual camera setup. Many fans are saying that a lot of mobile phone companies are trying to follow Apple’s footsteps by incorporating a dual camera design and removing the headphone jack. However, in Xiaomi’s case, they may have a dual camera setup in the main camera of the upcoming phone. This speculation was revealed through a couple of sketches that were released on China’s microblogging site Weibo.

The Mi 6 is also reportedly going to look similar to the iPhone 7 Plus. It will have a front-mounted physical home button. The phone may also have a fingerprint sensor.

The sketch also revealed the possibility of the Mi 6 to come with a USB Type-C port. This will be placed in between two external speaker grills. This setup will be located at the bottom of the phone. Another part of the design is the power button and the volume buttons, which will all be placed on one side of the phone.

Xiaomi Mi 6 specs

Besides the display, there are also speculations involving what the Mi 6 hardware and software will be. The phone is assumed to sport the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset. Furthermore, it will run with the Android 7.0 Nougat with the company’s latest MIUI. It was also reported that the camera of the Xiaomi Mi 6 will be similar to the specs of the upcoming Sony Xperia XZ Premium, which has three 1/2.3-inch sensors.

According to iGyaan, the phone is expected to have three variants. The first and second variant will sport an OLED HD resolution display with 6GB of RAM and dual lens main camera. The main difference with the two will be the built-in storage capacity, which is 256GB and 128GB, respectively.

In the third variant, instead of the Snapdragon chipset, it will be powered by the MediaTek Helio X30 SoC. It will have 4GB of RAM with 64GB of built-in storage as well as a dual lens setup. However, this information is not yet official and may differ from the actual product released by Xiaomi.
