It has been a long wait and so far it has been worth it. The Xiaomi Mi 6 is now official and in all ways, it is the flagship we have been waiting for. It packs a number of amazing  features and still maintains a low price albeit slightly higher than their previous flagships.

One of the new features of the Xiaomi Mi 6 is its dual rear cameras. This is not the first time they will appear on a Xiaomi phone but this is the first time they appear in this configuration. While the dual cameras in the Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus and most android phones are configured in the monochrome + RGB format, the ones in the Mi 6 are configured as one wide-angle lens + one telephoto lens, the same way as the iPhone 7 Plus.
