When Xiaomi took the wrap off its Mi 6 flagship, the Mi 6 Plus was expected to be announced along with it but we didn’t see that. Instead, industry analyst Pan Jiutang came out to reveal that the Mi 6 Plus has been postponed due to the huge market feedback generated by the Galaxy S8 and its resultant effect on the Snapdragon 835 availability.

There were also rumors that the Mi 6 Plus has been cancelled but looks like that may not be the case. Once again, a protective case for the Xiaomi Mi 6 Plus soon after all as a protective case has leaked showing us the likely design of the Mi 6 sibling. The Mi 6 Plus is expected to have a larger size than the Mi 6 which features a 5.15-inch display. The Mi 6 Plus is said to have the same display size as the Mi 5S Plus which comes with 5.7-inch display. From the leaked protective casing, it could be seen that the device would pack a dual camera setup just like the Mi 6 but there seems to be a change in the position of the LED flash. This time around, the LED flash is located in located on the right side of the dual cameras.

The leaked protective case also reveals the Mi 6 Plus will join the Mi 6 in not having a 3.5mm audio jack. Since the Mi 6 Plus comes with a large display size, the battery will likely be a larger  4,500mAh battery. Earlier rumours had tipped the Mi 6 Plus to come with 6GB of RAM, 64GB / 128GB storage versions, Sony IMX362 12MP main camera while there will be an 8MP front camera (Ultrapixel). The device may likely use the same 18W fast charger which was certified by China’s 3C. However, we still don’t know when Xiaomi will officially unveil this model since the Mi Max 2 with an almost similar size just went official.

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.

Ahead of the April 19 official launch of the Xiaomi Mi 6, there is yet another leak of the expected flagship. This time around, an image said to be the live front view of the bigger Mi 6 Plus has appeared on China’s Weibo.

The latest rumour about the Mi 6 Plus is that the design might be different from that of the Mi 6, with its design tilting towards that of the Mi Mix that is, a full-screen display. The front home button may also not be an ultrasonic technology. The latest leaked image seems to lend some authenticity to the rumour, except that we are not even sure that this is actually the Mi 6 Plus.

The clues we would have looked out for to tell whether this is even a Xiaomi device or not were stylishly masked. In reality, the leaked image is very much different from the earlier images we had seen of the Mi 6 or even the Mi 6 Plus. The display is a full-screen display with a small part reserved for the home button at the extreme edge just like on the Mi MIX. The design of the home button is obviously different from that of the Mi 5S with its ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. The body seems to be manufactured using ceramic glass and it is relatively thick. In addition, the device uses the USB Type-C interface.

We are not sure about this leaked image and the new details it brings to the table but there is a precedent. The Mi 5S and Mi 5S Plus did not exactly look alike. The Mi5S ultrasonic fingerprint sensor was missing on te 5S Plus while the Mi 5S Plus features a dual camera setup as opposed to the single sensor on the Mi 5S. It is not certain the same scenario will play out on the Mi 6 and Mi 6Plus but we’ll keep our fingers crossed and watch out for further details.

The post Alleged Xiaomi Mi 6 Live Front View Image Leaks appeared first on Gizmochina.

Not too long after a device suspected to be the Xiaomi Mi 6 was spotted in China’s 3C website, the Mi 6 is in the news once again. This time around a render of the likely Plus-sized version of the Mi 6 captured from the front and rear has leaked online. As would be expected, the render gifts us a look at the device from the front and rear end.

This new render comes in a coral blue colour but the images are similar to those which had leaked earlier on but obviously, this one doesn’t look real. Up front, we could see the home button looks similar to the Mi 5S’ underglass ultrasonic fingerprint sensor while there is no opening for the iris recognition technology which the Mi 6 is rumoured to feature. The Mi 6 Plus is said to come with a 5.7-inch HD display and the render shows a thin bezel at the two sides of the display but the screen to body ratio isn’t spectacular.

The rear view shows the dual-lens camera setup that the Mi 6 is almost certain to come with. The cameras are arranged in a horizontal plane while the LED flash sits to the right of the cameras. The capacitive buttons on the right side protrude abnormally that they seal this images as likely not being real live renders. Perhaps it is a fan generated work which isn’t a bad depiction anyway, even though it doesn’t look too captivating as we would have expected the Mi 6 Plus to be.

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. On the other hand, the Mi 6 is expected with a smaller 5.15-inch display and two versions with 4GB and 6GB of RAM as well as three storage versions of 32GB, 64GB and 128GB. The Mi 6 will likely also pack a lesser 3,2oomAh battery. Both smartphones will likely be unveiled this April so brace up for more leaks and rumours.
