Xiaomi Mi 6 Specifications

Xiaomi Mi 6 has been officially sold last April 28 in China, which was completely sold out immediately. Here are the basic specifications of Xiaomi Mi 6:
CPU: Snapdragon 835 Octa Core 2.45GHz
GPU: Adreno 540
RAM: 6GB LPDDR4x
ROM: 64GB / 128GB
SCREEN: 5.15-inch FHD display
CAMERAS: Dual Rear Cameras 12MP (with 2X optical zoom), Front Camera 8MP
Source: http://www.chinaphonereview.com/xiaomi-mi-6
The body is covered with 4-sided 3D curved glass with stainless steel frame. Ceramic version is also available. Great phone in my opinion, considering the fact that the price is about half of Samsung Galaxy S8.

So what?

For people who cannot afford or don't want to spend $800 for high-end phones, this is actually a great deal for them.

Samsung is not expensive,Sony is a better choose.

But Xiaomi is much cheaper than those phones with comparable specs and quality.

Now, the price of xiaomi mi6 128GB is $500

Only in China.

It's still cheaper than the mainstream brands even if you buy it from online resellers that cater to international customers.

Honor 8 pro FASTER than OnePlus 5?

The processor Kirin 960 doesn't outperform Snapdragon 835 in benchmarks but who cares about benchmarks in 2017 the real life performance of Honor 8 pro seems to be just smooth even while gaming and other stuff and their is a plus point that the Kirin 960 processor doesn't seem to get overheated while playing heavy games unlike Snapdragon 835 in OnePlus 5 so I'd feel to opt or prefer the underrated Honor 8 pro or Honor 6X or Honor 9 against OnePlus 5 considering the price that Honor Phones are available!

If you get your hands on honor 8 pro, please tell us how it compares against OP5

People still care about benchmarks in 2017. Wow.

Honor 8 pro is no slouch in terms of performance. It's a real flagship in performance. You can keep 20 or maybe more apps open at the same time. I have tried with 10 and none of the apps closed abruptly.
Apps open quick.

This is why benchmarks are becoming pointless. Every 2017 flagship performs like this. Thoughts @joe2k01?

And I don't even understand those speed tests comparing two smart phones together. I mean who is gonna compare them in real life. No one uses a stopwatch to calculate the time.
People get mad if one phone manages to open some app 2 seconds earlier and crown it as the king. Come on.[emoji23]

I was a rom freak. I loved customising my phone a lot with all the features. I am using a custom skin for the first time and I am absolutely not missing any feature from custom rom (except maybe double tap to sleep and wake).
And so, I am not feeling the need to root this device. The performance out of the box is exceptional.

I completely disagree with that.
Honor 8 pro has a bigger and higher resolution screen with higher body to screen ratio.
Homor 8 pro has better chipset with larger ram and internal storage.
Honor 8 pro has a better front facing camera.
The things that could have been upgraded are -
Rear camera - Both honor 8 and honor 8 pro have cameras with same aperture (f2.2). I would have liked the aperture to be atleast 2.0 on honor 8 pro.
Amoled screen - Maybe they could have used an amoled screen
Nothing else really. I am completely OK with my Honor 8 pro. Just want 8.0 upgrade by the end of year.

Switch from Samsung Galaxy S7 to Redmi Note 7

Someone here switched from Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge to Redmi note 7 ?

I would like to know if it's à good idea to switch from S7 to redmi note 7 And how is good thé Xiaomi in picture, screen, speakers, battery life, power compared to s7.
Thank you.

Didn't have an S7 but did have a Note 4 Exynos and Honor 8 before I got the Redmi Note 7phone.
Honestly, speed will probably feel about the same since S7 had the Snapdragon 820 processor.
Gaming performance will probably be about the same as well.
The screen isn't amoled so if that matters to you, you're probably better skipping the Redmi Note 7 and getting the Mi 8(snapdragon 845) or the newer Mi 9(snapdragon 855 with quad hd and dual speakers).
Either of those will definitely be an upgrade to your S7 in multiple ways...
Processor, functionality, performance, build quality, battery life, camera, gaming etc
Mi 8 can now be had for under $400 new as well if price matters to you

Thank you for responding.
My S7 is exynos one and I know that Mali GPU is more powerfull for gaming. S7 has à good display but it's too little and had burn in.
I want to know how is thé remdi's camera compared to S7 has a good One. My brother buyed à redmi Note 5 pro and S7 photos are much better

I'm not sure... S7 photos may be a little better since it was the flagship of the year a couple years back.
If you're worried about photos, I'd get the Mi 8 or if you can afford... Skip the Xiaomi budget line altogether and go straight for the The Mi 9.
Don't get me wrong... Redmi Note 7 or it's twin brother Mi 8 Lite are both spectacular phones especially for the money to value quotient. They pack a hell of a punch and are popular globally for a reason but coming from the S7, if you're not willing to compromise a little bit in the area of video and photo quality, you're better off shopping for a Xiaomi flagship.
Either phone (Mi 8 or Mi 9) is the flagship experience you want but the Mi 9 will blow you away and be the true upgrade you're looking for

I just got a Redmi Note 7 today, and it will replace a ZTE Axon 7 (Snapdragon 820, like the US version S7), so I'm in a similar position.
Haven't used it much yet, but initial impressions are very good. I just run some tests on both phones in Geekbench Pro, and the Redmi Note 7 won in some areas, while the Axon 7 still smoked it in some tests. You're right, the overall performance should feel pretty similar to the S7.
Benchmarks aside, I'm happy to have a new device that is fully up to date - stock Pie (that I'll dump in favor of LOS as soon as I'm able, haha), a big battery and efficient CPU, a really fast fingerprint scanner in a natural position (meaning NOT on the front), a big screen (any bigger wouldn't fit my pocket), VOLTE, a decent camera, and some support on XDA. It took me a while to decide to buy it because I was concerned about it not having an OLED screen but now I don't think it's going to be an issue - it looks good. Works with Mint Mobile (T-Mobile) here.
Only Day 1, but I'm satisfied so far, especially for $200!

RN7 is way better .. except for the sound quality and the weight (rn7 is heavy lol)

These guys have nailed it!
Think you'll be happy with the phone especially for the price.
I know I am.
Use it for a while.... If you don't like it, sell it for a more expensive flagship.
For me it's so good I don't feel the need to have a flagship phone anymore!
Just saw a review on Amazon with someone who mentioned they upgraded to the Redmi Note 7 from an S7 and raved about it.
Check out the review for the Blue 4GB RAM/64GB version.
It's one of the newer reviews.

I got it this morning and yes, the redmi is so heavy. Sound Quality is better on xiaomi but i was using dual speaker sounds on S7 wich makes a plaisent stéréo effect. Camera is a bit better on S7 Thanks to live HDR, dual pixel technology and à good noise réduction.

That's awesome!
Can't wait until you try GCam.
Think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Also try open camera for 4K video recording?

Yes Redmi note 7 is next level in term of screen size, entertaining purpose, everyday all around. Battery life 2 days on minimal use. Picture not as good as s7 edge

I replaced Huawei P10 whit RN7 and I'm surprised how better it is comparing to P10. Screen picture quality is way better and camera whit Gcam too. P10 have Leica lense blā, blā, but I don't like Leica look and that camera overexposes picture, loses detail in texture whit smoothing, makes picture to oversaturated and colors too neutral. RN7 whit GCam is neutral, exposes good and colors are good. If You like overprocessed pictures then You might want different camera app.
P10 is not S7, but I can say this phone is good. Only complains are weight, and writing is a bit hard for Me in position as I hold the phone. Of course there is minor things like screen is a bit less bright comparing to P10, plastic body, speaker can be more clear, still usb 2.0, no nfc, no IP rating etc. If You don't want to spend alot of money on phone as I do then this is solid choice. For that extra 250€ I would spend on phone I can buy alot of different things for Me.

Both my wife and I just bought the RN7 yesterday to replace both of our S7 Edge, personally I notice the screen resolution difference between the two, I miss the notifications staying at the top, miss the app draw and the camera start up speed is a lot faster than the RN7. The main reason why we switched though is the battery life, both of ours are the US version which use the Snapdragon CPU which only give us around 4 hr SOT, and I pretty much have to charge 2 or 3 times a day (yah on my phone all day long ) , now with the RN7, without doing anything, I just got 8 hr SOT with 10% left ....so yah wire free all day and way cheaper than a flagship Samsung, I know I can get over the cons very soon.

Plus we can help you negate some of the flaws
To get the original look with the added app drawer, install Poco Launcher from the Play Store and you're done with that part.
Screen res? Can you actually notice S7's higher pixels per inch count? Nothing to do about that though.
To overcome the lack of permanent notifications at the top, install Notch Test (Notifications for MIUI) and set up the position, give all permissions to the app, autostart, set battery restrictions to none, and lock it in the app switcher so MIUI can't kill it off. I have the icons position set to 215 from the left and 36 from the top. Works great and mitigates the issue completely (issue for those of us not coming from MIUI, accustomed to "permanent" notifications).
Camera start-up - nothing to do about that unless Xiaomi updates the firmware to do so. GCam takes even more to start, but the image it produces is more than worth the wait.

OP7 PRO - Im so happy I haven't waited and went with S10+

Hi, I decided to get back with Sammy after 3 year break. It's so good I didn't even rooted it. I paid for it 2900 in my currency. OP7Pro is 4000 of my currency. LOL What are you thoughts of the newest flagship killer compared to S10+ Do we have to be afraid of something? Don't you guys think it's a cashgrab?

Good bye s10+ hello op7 pro [emoji23]
Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk

Some of the best specs I've seen including stereo speakers. I also like the size, but not sure ready to leave my S10+

1. No official water resistance rating
2. No wireless charging
3. No headphone jack
4. Non-expandable storage
5. Does not include earbuds or a 3.5mm audio adapter
6. Wide-angle camera falls short
7. Display is less brighter that the one on S10+. (upto 1200 nits vs 800 nits)
8. Front cam on OP is trash. No comparison to any other flagships when it comes to front cams. No secondary sensor or depth sensor. Even pixel has it, lol.
There you go. Price difference justified. When the S10+ came out, I traded my P3XL for $550 USD and got the S10+ for $486 USD (Galaxy buds free too since it was a pre-order). I went to OPs site today and went through the trade in steps, put in my IMEI in, trade in value was $640 CAD (since I have now moved to Canada). So I can get the OP 7 pro for around 480 again. Yes, feature wise price is great. BUT no thanks. S10+ is worth the price. Keeping that till the Note or next Pixel.

I'll counter for Oneplus I guess
1. Oxygen OS is leagues better than OneUI
2. Performance is a lot smoother on Oneplus
3. Samsung has incredibly slow charging speeds compared to Oneplus' wrap charging.
4. OS and Security updates are more frequent and longer support of their devices
5. Easy to Root
6. Developer friendly device
7. Bezeless screen with 90hz screen
8. UFS 3.0

Oneui

Inside all the apps looks so much better ... and we dont need substratum either we have themes and goodlock?

For the most part, you're comparing your OPINIONS to his FACTS.
You're talking about things being better, smoother, "friendly".... All of those are opinions opposed to what actually can be proven.
Me personally, I'll never buy a phone again without a headphone jack, expandable memory and an IP rating. Those 3 features, are necessities for me.

Well, the price difference is justified if all those features are important to you. Although #5-8 seem to be nit-picky for most regular users - not the XDA ones!
Me, I'm going to keep my S10+ although the 90Hz display on the OP7P sounds mighty interesting.

OP is not anymore flagship killer, just flagship without flagship features like IP, wireless charging etc With addition, OP7 camera is again joke, even bigger with actual price. They don't know make competitive camera with actual flagships. I'm pretty happy with my regular S10 and looking forward for Pixel 4, S11, Mi10 and so on
90Hz on AMOLED and UFS3.0, that's all. Exynos except GPU is more powerful than Snapdragon in raw power

I have had a few OP devices and besides the phone`s speed there is nothing that is better then a Galaxy S device. Costumer service and support is bad and once the phone is unpacked its value decreases about half of what was paid. Overall i think the quality and support (regular updates) of Samsung is better then what OP offers. Just my 2 cents

If i still had my s8 and op7 pro or s10 was a choice I would go with s10 BECAUSE OF WIRELESS CHARGING, IP rating and some other smaller things

Like the op7 pro but would not give up my s10 for it but I am jealous of the 90hz screen tbh.

Since the oneplus 7 pro is a flagship phone I don't really the value with all those trade-offs. I might consider it if it were subsidised but in Canada no company will carry so for a starting price of 1000$ I just don't see the value tbh.
Sent from my SM-G975W using XDA Labs

I can add that there are some things like offscreen gestures that I miss from OP devices. But for me the best thing in S10 is..... One handed mode with a gesture. It's been there isnce what ? S6? OP7P has bigger screen but try using it while on the bike.

Very hard to justify that kind of price when its missing some key features and the camera is still not even near the same league as galaxys and pixels . It will likely get better with updates but still for $1100 its got some serious ground to make up.

IKR! I think oneplus is on some Icarus trip right now. Flying way to close to the sun. They were such a great value proposition now they're just a one trick poney. Great screen. It's probably still the fastest Android phone around but marginally at best.

Isn't regular fast charging meant to be detrimental to battery life?

That is a myth. No.

I traded my tmobile branded op7pro for my unlocked S10plus.... I love this phone and I have the exynos version witch I'm rooted already, the only thing I can say about the op7pro is the refresh rate speed and is not that of huge thing. The camera of the op7pro is way better then before but can't compare... And battery life is not that great I tried a day with 90hz and a day with 60hz, the design of the op7pro is meh like it felt I had a galaxy s7 edge. When I got the s10 plus I was worried about the hole but I Dont even notice it and battery life on the s10plus its insane.
Then there's value where I'm from I can get a basically new op6t for $250,when the op6t was released I bought one for $340 there where tmobile version but since you can convert them there where worth it... And the op7pro tmobile version is already being sold for $600. Oneplus it's no good for resale. Samsung is.

The price drop my vary from region,because in my country is true... Right know you can get a op6t for $300 and $250

I just went to my local T-Mobile for T-Mobile Tuesday and looked at the OnePlus 7 Pro and did a side by side comparison with my S10+ and the OnePlus 7 Pro was definitely brighter than my S10+ and my device is on High Performance and Vivid. Does the 7 Pro have more Nits than the S10+?

OnePlus 8 Pro?

I currently have a Pixel 2XL and am starting to itch for an upgrade. I was excited for the Pixel 4XL but I can't justify the price for what you get. Then the OnePlus 7 Pro caught my eye and I'm considering buying that with the Black Friday deal.
Do you guys think it would be worth waiting for the OnePlus 8 Pro (April-May 2020) or should I just pull the trigger on the 7 Pro with it's current discount?

I'd go for the OP7Pro if the black friday discounts are substantial. selling the OP7Pro in future will not suffer much loses if you wish to change phones in future.

Get the 7Pro for the win! Then trade up to the 8 later...

Getting the OnePlus 7Pro was the largest jump in phones as far as tech/display and just all around happiness with the device(previously used the LG G7/Mi Mix 3). Easily money well spent and to be honest, if i completely bricked this one i would try to buy another one to replace it.

Well I heard the 8 is gonna have a hole punch. So if you want the gorgeous display get the 7pro

HOLE PUNCH?!?!???! BLEGGHH. I cant go from a full, un-interrupted display to a silly looking punch hole in my screen. I really loved the look on the Mi Mix 3 and i love the look on the 7Pro( i never use front facing camera's anyway)

I have both the 2xl and OP7 pro and love both. 2xl camera still runs laps around 7 pro but 7 pro is in another league in every other measurable.

That is disappointing to hear. I love the camera on my Pixel 2XL and feel it might be the only thing to make me return the OnePlus 7 Pro when I get it.

In my personal opinion I feel that camera quality is very subjective. Let's face it, we are talking about looking at the majority of our pictures on a 5 or 6 inch screen that has more resolution than most TV's! The only way you can tell if one camera is better than another is to hold them side-by-side while looking at the exact same photo....who does this? The camera on the 7 Pro is great...it takes pictures...in color....on a fairly large high resolution screen. To make our choice for a "phone" (communication device) based on how accurate the pictures might be (which again is subjective) is not the way to do things. There are too many other things that are necessary for one of these compact computers to work properly that I feel that the camera is the last, and the least important. If the battery runs out...no pictures...if you cannot maintain a good network signal, then you basically have an overpriced camera. It's just gotten way out of normal reasoning to worry so much about the camera on a smart phone. YMMV

There is a ported gcam app for OP7 that closes the quality gap a bit but you have to be rooted to use the Telephoto, and Wide lenses with it. The upgrade is still worth.

I wish the front cam cutout were in the middle and not on the left side like how it's shown in the leaks @ 8 Pro.

OnePlus 8
OnePlus continues to attract attention until the official announcement of the OnePlus 8 phones, and once again new official images emerge showing the colors of the OnePlus 8 Pro.
This year, OnePlus introduces an exclusive blue color for OnePlus 8 Pro, or is known as Ultramarine Blue, on the other hand, OnePlus OnePlus 8 Pro is presented in green or Glacial Green hue, which is also offered for OnePlus 8 flagship edition.
Oneplus OnePlus 8 Pro and OnePlus 8 are slated to be offered in Onyx black, and OnePlus 8 Pro does not come in blue like the Interstellar Glow model presented in OnePlus 8.
Roland Quandt also highlighted new leaks on the OnePlus 8 Pro screen that appears curved design on both sides, while the screen appears flat in the main version of OnePlus 8.
OnePlus 8 Pro also comes with a 6.78-inch AMOLED display, with a refresh rate of 120 Hz, and the screen brightness ratio reaches 1,300 nits.
Previous leaks confirmed that OnePlus 8 Pro has 48-megapixel sensors, with the main Sony IMX689 sensor 1 / 1.43 and 1.12µm pixels, while the IMX586 sensor comes with wide viewing angles, with an 8-megapixel zoom sensor, and it supports up to 3 times optical zoom , While the last 5MP sensor comes to collect more accurate color detail.
It is reported that OnePlus company recently confirmed that the OnePlus 8 Pro phone was launched with a Snapdragon 865 processor, and also reviewed the efficiency of the refresh rate of 120 Hz in the screen, the phone also comes with LPDDR5 standards in random memory, and UFS 3.0 standards in storage capacity, as the phones support 5G networks .

Current Pixel 2 user - I'm going to ride out the last year of Google support and jump ship next year. Will be interesting to see the advancements going to the 5nm SD875, which I assume will be on most of 2021 flagships!
