The Mi 6 was Xiaomi’s flagship smartphone of 2017. It has been four years since its release. The handset may make a comeback this year just like the recently launched Redmi Note 8 2021 Edition.

Earlier last month, Xiaomi founder and CEO Lei Jun revealed that there are still more than 2 million Mi 6 users. A few days later, a netizen on Weibo asked the company founder to release a new compact smartphone with a Mi 6-like design. 

As per this person, the Mi 11 Lite Lite 5G (aka Mi 11 Youth Edition) is still a big device despite its minimal thickness. Therefore, he is looking for an even smaller handset. Lei Jun simply replied ‘Received’ (read feedback received) to this netizen’s comment.

On the same day, Xiaomiui came across a new Xiaomi device codenamed ‘mercury’. This mysterious phone will feature a 120Hz display, 12MP pixel binning main camera, ultra-wide camera, and 5x telephoto camera.

As per Xiaomiui (via MySmartPrice), this phone could go official as Mi 6 2021 Edition. Because Xiaomi released a limited edition Mercury Silver color variant of the Mi 6. This and other links suggest the upcoming Xiaomi ‘mecury’ to be Mi 6 2021 Edition.

Unfortunately, the claim cannot be verified at the moment. Anyway, we expect to learn more about this smartphone in the coming days. Perhaps, it could be indeed the rumored Mi 6 2021 Edition or something else altogether.

We are only halfway through 2021, however, Xiaomi has already released a bunch of smartphones. According to new findings, the second half of this year will be no different for the company. The Chinese handset maker may launch at least 13 new devices in H2 2021.

Xiaomi smartphones run MIUI. In fact, the company’s mobile operating system was its product and not phone. Whenever the company is set to release new handsets, MIUI adds support for them.

Hence, the codenames and even certain specs of these unreleased devices leak via MIUI source code. That’s what has happened now.

As per the findings by Xaiomiui, the Chinese tech giant will be soon launching the following 13 new devices.

Upcoming Xiaomi Devices

2. evergreen

5. psyche
6. pissaro
7. pissaropro
8. cygnus
9. bestla
10. hyacinth
11. divine
12. lepus
13. mercury

Out of the above-listed 13 devices, the MIUI code also reveals the specs of the below-mentioned 6 models.

From the specifications, it is interesting to see that Xiaomi may release multiple devices with an under-display camera. Interestingly, the products with this implementation will only feature a 90Hz display.

Lastly, Xiaomiui does not call these 13 products smartphones. We think that’s because some or one of them could be a tablet. The company is expected to release three high-end tablets. Anyway, their codenames and certain features are already known. But we cannot rule out the possibility of budget models.

Having said that, we expect to learn more about these upcoming Xiaomi group (Mi, Redmi, POCO) devices before their official launch.
