The Mi 6 is one of Xiaomi’s most iconic phones. It is also one of its most popular flagships. Today, unconfirmed reports going round say the manufacturer is planning to re-launch the phone but with new specs and probably some changes in the design. The phone is expected to cater to those who require a small but powerful device.

According to Digital Chat Station, Xiaomi is working on a device with a small display but which is yet to be greenlit. In a separate post, he adds that for it to be a success, the demand must be high to be worth it.

The leaker mentions that most display manufacturers have already adjusted their production lines to churn out large screens for phones, so if they are going to make a small display for Xiaomi, it will be a custom line that will be expensive. Xiaomi will need to carry out extensive market research to determine if it will be profitable to make such a device.

In related news, Xiaomi’s director of new media posted a question on Weibo asking how much folks will be willing to pay for a new version of the Mi 6 with the following specs – same size and shape as the Mi 6; a notch or punch hole; a single rear camera or dual rear cameras; a battery capacity that lasts up to one day; a Snapdragon 700 series chipset (or Snapdragon 800 series chipset if it will not affect the weight and size of the phone); and NFC.

This is surely a market survey for the upcoming device and the result will influence Xiaomi’s final decision on whether it should go ahead with the project or cancel it.
