Xiaomi yesterday unveiled the Mi 6 flagship with its many colour offerings. As was rumoured, many were still waiting of the Xiaomi Mi 6 Plus to be unveiled along with it but that never happened. The company ended the launch event without saying anything about a possible Mi 6 Plus. So, what happened? Does that mean that the Mi 6 Plus really didn’t exist?

We really can’t say why Xiaomi didn’t announce the Plus-size version with this one but according to a Weibo post by the well-known industry analyst, Pan Jiutang, the Mi 6 Plus is real. The trusted analyst, while responding to a Weibo post by Xiaomi phone official account, the analyst among other things hinted that the Mi 6 Plus may likely be released in two months time.

The Mi 6 Plus is expected to come with a bigger 5.7-inch display and the analyst also affirmed that. Earlier rumours had tipped the Xiaomi Mi 6 Plus to come with 6GB of RAM, 64GB / 128GB storage versions, Sony IMX362 12MP main camera, and an 8MP front camera (Ultrapixel) as well as a large 4,500mAh battery. The device may likely use the same 18W fast charger which was certified by China’s 3C. The Mi 6 Plus may also come with a different design from the Mi 6, especially the display. The Mi 6 Plus had earlier been rumoured to have a display similar to the Mi Mix, with narrower bezels. We’ll have to wait to see how this pans out.

Xiaomi just recently announced an April 19 launch date for the Mi 6 and ahead of the date, the supposed price list of the different Mi 6 and Mi 6 Plus variants have surfaced online. The Mi 6 is listed to start at 2,199 Yuan ($314) which is a little higher than the 1,999 Yuan price tag we expect on the Xiaomi flagship. The Xiaomi Mi 6 Plus starts way higher at 2,699 Yuan ($390).

The leaked price sheet indicates that the Mi 6 will come in two memory variants, both packing 4GB of RAM. The storages are 64GB and 128GB respectively. While the 2199 Yuan is the price of the 4GB + 64GB model, the higher 4GB + 128GB model is expected to be priced at 2599 Yuan ($376). Both prices are still less than the almost impossible 3,599 Yuan price the device was earlier leaked to carry.

On the other hand, the Mi 6 Plus comes with three versions and all three have 6GB RAM onboard. But the difference lies in the storages. The 6GB + 64GB version of the Mi 6 Plus is listed with a 2,699 Yuan ($390) price tag. The next model features a 6GB + 128GB combo and is priced at 3,099 Yuan ($448). Finally, a third version of the Mi 6 is listed with 6GB RAM + 256GB storage and carries a 3,699 Yuan ($535) price tag.

As we already know, the Mi 6 and 6 Plus will come with Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 835 flagship chip and would run Android 7.1.1 with the MIUI 8 overlay. While the Mi 6 is expected to sport a 5.1-inch display, the Mi 6 Plus is expected with a larger 5.7-inch display. There will also be a dual camera set up on both models. Despite these high-end features and specs, we still don’t expect the Mi 6 to start higher than 1,999 Yuan. So, we’ll take this latest leak, coming from a source without much credibility, with a pinch of salt.

The post Xiaomi Mi 6 & Mi 6 Plus Prices Leak Ahead of April 19 Launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

This year promises to be a year of spectacular flagships competing at different planes – large displays, powerful hardware, top notch designs and more. The Xiaomi Mi 6 is one of such flagship which would lock horns with the Samsung Galaxy S8 as the first two Snapdragon 835-powered smartphones. The Mi 6 is rumoured to launch next month, after the Galaxy S8 must have been unveiled on March 29.

Ahead of that launch, the Xiaomi Mi 6 pricing details have leaked online revealing the likely prices the various versions of the flagship device will sell for. The price list contains not just the Mi 6, but also the Mi 6 Plus which is probably the bigger 5.7-inch variant. Accordingly, the list reveals three memory versions for the Mi 6 and Mi 6 Plus. The Mi 6 comes in 4GB + 32GB which is listed to start at 1999 Yuan ($290). There is also a 4GB + 64GB version listed with a 2,299 Yuan ($333) price tag and finally, a 6GB + 128GB version priced at 2,699 Yuan ($391).

On the other hand, the Mi 6 Plus is listed with 4GB + 64GB on its base version which would retail for 2599 Yuan ($377), a 6GB + 128GB version priced at 2,999 Yuan ($435). Finally, the Mi 6 Plus is listed with a top-end version with a fiery 8GB RAM and 256GB storage priced at 3499 Yuan ($507).

We can’t verify these price listing but if true, then the Mi 6 would be the cheapest flagship around considering that it packs a Snapdragon 835 chip, dual cameras and several other top-end features. We don’t know if the base versions will pack Snapdragon 835 chip or a lesser Snapdragon 821. Also, there are rumours of the Xiaomi flagship equally coming with several colour variants including the unconventional colours like red. We have a feeling the long wait for the Galaxy S8 and Mi 6 would be worth the while.
