Xiaomi Mi 6 is expected to be the first Chinese flagship smartphone to come with Snapdragon 835 chipset. Reports hint that it will be announced in April. Three new sketches of the alleged Xiaomi Mi 6 have surfaced on Weibo to reveal its design.
The sketches suggest that the Xiaomi Mi 6 has thick bezels at the top and bottom and has slimmer ones on the left and right sides of the screen. A Home button can be seen below the display that probably houses a fingerprint sensor. The bottom side of the phone has a USB Type-C port and external speaker grills.
The rear side of the smartphone has Mi logo in the bottom half. It seems to have antenna lines running at the top and bottom. The top left corner has a dual camera module that features twin camera sensors along with LED flash. The sketch of the rear panel matches previous render of the Xiaomi Mi 6 (shown below the third sketch). .
