At the moment, smartphones with a double chamber of steel for many flagships. Xiaomi also did not remain aside and released MI 6. The previous smartphone with the highest quality camera was MI 5S. Let's try to find out who is better of them.
The Xiaomi Mi 5S camera is based on the Sony IMX378 photo seensor, which scored a very high score in DXO test. The same sensor is standing in Google Pixel, which means something in itself. Thus, MI 5S at the time of the exit was the best, at least in terms of the camera.
The MI 6 is installed an IMX386 sensor with a pixel size of 1.25 nm, which, by the way, is less than that of Mi 5S, in which the pixel size is as much as 1.55 nm. In general, a larger pixel size means better susceptibility to light. Well, let's see who wins in our competition.
Scenery
When shooting at a distance, both smartphones show themselves about the same. If you enlarge the picture, you can see that MI 5S saves the detail better, but MI 6 lubricates a picture slightly. But MI 6 gives better color - trees look more natural. The best color management is a pishka MI 6, as you will see slightly below. In general, in this competition, we give preference to MI 5S.
Shooting with approximation
In terms of approaching MI 6, it looks more preferable because it has a second lens with an almost double approximation. This decision is able to strongly expand the capabilities of the photographer. What to say, against optical zoom digital has no chance.
It is worth mentioning that the second lens MI 6 does not support optical stabilization, so it is worth being attentive when it is used.
Macro
When shooting items in a very short distance, both smartphones showed themselves very well. And although the MI 6 is a wider aperture, in fact when photographing, they showed a similar depth of field. But as we mentioned, the color management of Mi 6 is implemented more correctly.
Portrait mode
Xiaomi MI 6 supports the "man" mode. In this mode, the camera switches to a long focus automatically, so the shooting object will be approximated. Also in this mode, the mode of virtual depth of field is turned on, so the rear background is blurred. Changes the algorithm with its work is not bad. On the complex frame of lubrication at the edges, they become noticeable, but otherwise you can recognize that it copes even better than competitors from other companies. In any case, with such a shooting, you need to pay attention to objects in the frame.
Shooting
With not very good conditions of lighting MI 5S copes slightly better than its competitor, which is noticeably on the noise in the pictures. Nevertheless, the separation is very small.
Night shot
When shooting at night, the larger size of the pixel matrix at MI 5S already has its advantages. Both smartphones increase the brightness of the picture, twisting the exposure and ISO, but Xiaomi Mi 5s has a greater supply, so it is no less and the color in its pictures is obtained more accurate.
Verdict
In our comparison, we were convinced that the camera at Xiaomi Mi 6 is quite good, although Xiaomi Mi 5s showed itself well. The camera of the first smartphone has not so many advantages regarding the second camera, although the double camera has more to work: it is almost two-time zoom, and portrait mode. Also Mi 6 solved the MI 5S problems in the form of optical stabilization and improved colors. In any case, we hope that more and more smartphones will be equipped with double cameras and Xiaomi will also continue this trend.
On April 27, 2018, the Chinese company introduced a new Xiaomi MI 6X smartphone with a double vertical chamber and Full HD + display with the aspect ratio of 18: 9. The novelty is the MI 5X successor. The phone is available in five color versions, so both men and women can choose the perfect option for themselves. We present a detailed review of Siaomi 6x, the technical characteristics of the smartphone, configuration, design, cameras, performance and autonomy.
According to the main characteristics of MI 6x, the budget version of MI MIX 2S is reminded. Recall that the last MI 5X / MI A1 model entered the top of the best smartphones of the middle class. Also expected, by analogy with last year, in 2018 the Xiaomi Mi A2 smartphone will be released. The smartphone will become an analogue of MI 6X, but will be released on the Android One program.
Xiaomi Mi 6X Review
Let's start an overview of this phone from the configuration and appearance. Packaging design is sufficiently minimal. If the Redmi series has a bright red top cover, here we see a classic white box, which this time the Chinese company has made more attractive.
Now it's not just a white box with a small mi logo in the center, as it was at Mi 5x. In the lower left corner there is a bright inscription "6x", and the orange color logo itself is neatly located in the upper right corner. It looks like this box is very attractive.
Equipment
Removing the upper cover, the first thing we see is a slogan company Xiaomi. Equipment MI 6X is much richer than other phone models, such as the popular REDMI 5 Plus now.
Included the user will find:
- dense Silicone Case Lining (TPU Case);
- instructions in Chinese (Manual);
- uSB Type-C cable;
- the original 5V / 2A charger (there is no 18 W quick charging in the box), although according to the specification, the device supports technology (QC 3.0);
- special clip to extract SIM card slot (SIM Ejector PIN);
- audio adapter, i.e. Adapter with Type-C to a standard 3.5 mm connector (Audio Adapter Type-C to 3.5 mm).
On the phone in front and behind the factory films are pasted. The front film shows a brief device specification.
Design
Consider the phone from all sides to evaluate all the advantages or disadvantages of Xiaomi MI 6X.
On the bottom panel you can find a microphone, loudspeaker and USB port-c port.
From above are the IR sensor (IR Blaster) and the microphone for noise cancellation in the smartphone.
On the left side there is a hybrid slot for SIM cards, where you can place two Nano-SIM cards. At the same time, in contrast to the Redmi 5 plus slot, where other than SIM, can be placed one memory card, MI 6X does not support microSD. Lack of ability to expand the internal memory of the phone Many users will immediately attribute to minuses and disadvantages of this model.
Given that Xiaomi Mi 6x is very thin, the thickness of only 7.3 millimeters. The device of the device slightly repents. Therefore, immediately after purchase, it is recommended to use a protective case, at least the one that comes in the kit. This will help to avoid random scratches. If you compare with Redmi Note 5, then the MI 6X camera is approximately 1 mm more repeated relative to the rear panel.
In general, the design of this smartphone uses all the most fashionable design chips, which can be found in 2018. The thin all-metal case sits well in the hand, but will seem uncomfortable users who used to have been dealing with phones of this format. This inconvenience can solve the purchase of a protective cover, thanks to which the device will be more convenient to lie in the hand.
Screen
Now, consider attentively the front panel. Unlike the black version, all other color options go with a white front panel. Someone has a designer solution to the soul. Other users on the contrary consider this disadvantage when you buy a golden MI 6X, and in front of the golden color - white. The same minus was the Redmi 5 Plus. But this is a matter of taste, since from a designer point of view - white color looks more elegant.
In front, the novelty completely reminds the front full-screen redmi 5 plus panel. Therefore, if you plan to buy Xiaomi Mi 6x, when it appears in Russia, but there will be a convenient screen. Then you can go to any store and test there Syavi Redmi 5 plus screen. Since in its specifications both display have the same specifications:
- Display - 5.99 inches LCD IPS;
- 92.6 cm 2 (~ 77.4% The ratio of the surface area of \u200b\u200bthe screen to the case);
- resolution 1080 x 2160 pixels (Full HD +);
- the ratio of the sides of the screen is 18: 9;
- 403 PPI;
- multiple touch support (multitouch).
Communication
Camera
Double camera Xiaomi MI 6X is really a chip of this model. It is on camera and characteristics of optics users most often watch when choosing a new phone. Mi 6x can be added to.
Double camera design has changed significantly compared to 5x. Now it is located vertically, and not horizontally. This Trend 2018 appeared with the release of the iPhone X. Our favorite Chinese company has already managed to realize it in the chamber ,.
Optics characteristics
In the MI 6x chamber, the main sensor Sony IMX 486 and Sony IMX376 is used (reminding the OV12A10 + OV13880 predecessor). Consider in detail the specification of optics:
- Main chamber: 12 mp (f / 1.8, aperture 1 / 2.9 ", 1.25 μm) + 20 megapixel (F / 1.8, 1 / 2.8", 1.0 μm), phase autofocus , 2x-multiple optical zoom, LED flash.
- Frontal camera: 20 megapixel (F / 1.8, 1 / 2.8 ", 1.0 μm), 1080p, auto-HDR.
Optic characteristics allow you to make good photos with less noise in low light conditions. Comparing the quality of the pictures from MI 6, it can be seen that the support of AI algorithms makes it possible to feel the difference. Examples of photos are also good as the flagship Xiaoma 2017.
A more detailed overview of the MI 6X chamber will be posted in a separate article with examples of portrait pictures and photos in conditions of low lighting.
Autonomy
The device comes with a non-removable battery with a capacity of 3010 mAh. Such a battery capacity can also be called a disadvantage. Since, even in Redmi 5 Plus, a 4000 mAh battery is installed.
But the developers sought to make the design of the new smartphone thinner. As a result, 6x by 0.8 millimeters thinner, and the battery is almost 1000 mAh less. But the weight of the device is now 168 grams against 180 grams.
Test PcMark Battery Stress
The autonomous operation of the MI 6X has shown that the phone will be able to work 7 hours 4 minutes in the active load mode (10 hours in the mode of medium load). Test result - 6814 points.
Autonomy indicator is quite acceptable. If we compare with the main competitors, it is worth considering that the results of the tests of MIUI called one of the best systems from the point of view of energy consumption.
Recall that the kit is supplied 5V / 2A charger (5V / 2A). Since Xiaomi MI 6X supports, the corresponding charger was used for test charging.
With the charger, the QC 3.0 device we were able to charge the battery from 19% to 100% in 1 hour and 34 minutes. During the second dough Siaomi 6x, the phone charged from 18% to 37% in 12 minutes. And was fully charged in 90 minutes.
Price
At the moment, the novelty can only be bought in China. Five color options are available to the choice: Red, Blue, Golden, Rose Gold, Black. Cost Xiaomi MI 6X:
- Budget option: 4 + 64 GB \u003d 1599 yuan (250 dollars).
- Basic variant 6 + 64 GB \u003d 1799 yuan (282 dollars).
- Top version 6 + 128 GB \u003d 1999 yuan (314 dollars).
Given the excitement to this model, then the prices of AliExpress are 20-30% higher. In Russia and Ukraine in certified and official stores MI Store, it will be possible to buy only the global version of the smartphone. It is expected that it will be Xiaomi Mi A2.
conclusions
The smartphone is a decent continuation of MI 5X / MI A1. For this price category, the buyer receives excellent equipment. This concerns: design, hull, screen, processor, frontal and main chamber, which can impress any inexperienced premium gadgets, user.
Basic competitors from other manufacturers: Huawei P20 Lite, Sony Xperia XA2, as well as Motorola Moto X4.
Summing up the review of Siaomi 6x, consider the main advantages and cons.
Advantages:
- cute design,
- high-quality screen
- a good SD 660 processor (performance is enough for most popular applications),
- Android 8.1 and MIUI 9.5 "out of the box",
- excellent camera (quality photo is comparable to MI 6).
Disadvantages:
- no nfc,
- no connector 3.5 mm,
- you can not expand internal memory using the MicroSD memory card,
- weak battery.
Dear readers, share your opinion about this smartphone. Did he justify your expectations? Also do not forget after the purchase, leave in the comments reviews about Xiaomi Mi 6x. What you liked, what minuses did you find, whether you recommend this model to buy a month later use, etc.
Xiaomi Mi6. - Very cool smartphone. The top processor is installed inside, the housing is all such a high-quality and brilliant, rear have installed two updated cameras. In general, expectations are excavated. In fact, everything turned out to be somewhat different. How so? I will tell B. review Xiaomi Mi6..
Buy in China (online) Return CashbackI ordered Xiaomi Mi6. From China. I have been buying in this store for a long time, so I feel safely recommended. I'm about a friend. The seller sent the parcel of Singapore mail, and taking into account the latest joint actions of some customs posts and official representative of the manufacturer in Russia "Smart Orange", even such an option may be risky. As a departure passed customs, read.
Set
On the one hand, everything is as always: the USB cable C and the power supply (5 - 12 V / 1.5 - 3 A) with support for quick charging Quick Charge 3.0. On the other hand, the adapter was found in the box under the standard headphone plug, and there is also a bonus in the form of a simple silicone cover.
He is in quality, however, it will be consolidated for the first month of use, while China's better accessories ordered to the smartphone are coming from China.
Otherwise, there is nothing unusual inside. From the seller I got a film on the screen and adapter under our sockets.
Design
In my opinion, the design of Xiaomi Mi6 is calm. In comparison with MI5, a novelty clearly lost face. Last year's flagship could be recognized at any corner of the case. And Mi6 is similar to all existing smartphones. Perhaps this is something from HTC, and maybe this is Samsung from an updated line a?
Yes, the caller of the smartphone is very pleasant to the touch. The body is absolutely the entire streamlined, glossy, the sun's rays look perfectly at its faces and all that. However, Harizms have no MI6.
| Length | Width | Thickness | Weight | |
| Xiaomi Mi6 (5.15 '') | 145,17 | 70,49 | 7,45 | |
| Xiaomi Mi5s (5.15 '') | 145,6 | 70,3 | 8,25 | |
| iPhone 7 (4.7 '') | 138,3 | 67,1 | ||
| Huawei P10 (5.2 '') | 145,3 | 69,3 | 6,98 |
I say so because I tried all the latest smartphones of the company, including MI MIX. It is difficult to argue with the fact that Xiaomi can create interesting products, but "Mi-six" from another opera. There are no raisins in it.
The assembly is chic, everything is most closely adjacent to each other. Except Except Volume Adjustment Rachies. She dangles like a rattle.
Another nuance. Dust clogs between the case and eye eyes. If not peering, not visible. However, after it was seen, to forget about it will be difficult. Approximately the same situation was in.
Under the screen is the optical fingerprint scanner. Externally, it is exactly the same as in, however, we had an ultrasonic sensor and he worked disgusting. Now everything has improved. The sensor always works correctly, a little more slowly than B, but still quickly.
There is no additional functional from the scanner. You can block the phone itself or individual applications. Thank you and on that.
The housing itself is made of glass (in front and rear), and the metal frame (stainless steel) is polished to the glossy state around the perimeter. And in front, and there is a gorgeous oleophobic coating. It is really very high-quality - no questions.
However, this has one very fat minus - the smartphone is incredibly slippery.
Here are three scenarios, in each of which your MI6 will be guaranteed to meet with asphalt:
1. I tried to intercept your smartphone with my hands, and they grow not from that place - the sad finale of the novel!
2. Put the smartphone on the uneven surface - the smartphone himself went to the floor, and there was already lucky or not.
3. Put the apparatus in his pants pocket, got into the car and left. Later you discover that MI6 preferred to stay on the site of your car. On asphalt.
Believe me, MI6 is so slippery that it is not even funny. You really need to be careful with him, otherwise one of the scenarios will happen in the first month.
The most important question is where the audio part? What are you doing, Xiaomi?!
It is concerned that the port of 3.5 mm was drank in favor of moisture protection (there is no it here - the question is closed). And also supposedly inside everything is so tightly condensed that for the plug of 3.5 mm there was not a stupid place. Maybe engineers from "mi" just did not master? Personally, I tend to this option.
In general, without a normal connector under the headphones is sad. I don't care anyway, for I have long moved to (not advertising, just like), but suddenly the port will need a port? And the adapter quietly lies at home, in the box.
Display
I will say so. Xiaomi Mi6 stars screen not enough from the sky.
And yes, for a smartphone for 200-300 bucks, he is very different. But for the top in 2017 and for so much money, the manufacturer could establish something more interesting. AMOLED, for example.
In general, we have a good quality, but still an IPS matrix. Before the display it is far away. And if we consider that in the summer we have a presentation 1 + 5, then the MI6 does not affect your even not an announced competitor.
The picture is immediately covered with white fog, as soon as we deflect the display at an acute angle. Not the most popular viewing angle, but still.
Fortunately, the stock of brightness did not let down. In the sun, the sensor twists the backlight to the maximum and everything is clearly visible.
There is a reverse situation. In the dark, you can remove the backlight to a value of 1 thread (the manufacturer assures), but it is still impossible to read from the screen. From here we get almost useless functionality.
Characteristics Xiaomi Mi6.
Of course, we will compare both generations of flagships: 2016th year against the 2017th. Hit!

Does Xiaomi MI6 android Pay support? Yes and no. First, the service came to us in Russia literally the other day (wrote about it), and our hero has NFC, and, full, working even to record any information in third-party tags. However, the Android Pay application refused to start on the smartphone. It did not seem to be that the device received root access or unlocked the bootloader. Neither, nor the other I didn't do it, so the service does not work yet.
That's something out of oddities. In MI5 there was an optical stabilization and IR port, and all this went under the knife. But in MI6 we again we encounter things we are familiar to us. Um ...
Today, the performance partition will not be. All you need to know about the smartphone - it is the most cool as possible and no existing game can be able to strain it. In the same "tanks", the frequency tightly got up at 59 fps and this is the topical graphics settings.
I have never achieved an incredible result of 180 thousand virtual parrots in ANTUTU. Maximum - 165 thousand, and this result is slightly higher than what shown
Front-camera
The quality of photos is good. Decent detailing, always the right white balance. Rent on Mi6 Selfie and post somewhere in the "social cell" - a cute deal.
It is a pity that the autofocus still did not appear.
Main chambers
If you are looking for something from the last flagships and the highest quality photo is always required and everywhere, forget about MI6.
In Xiaomi, they did not learn to squeeze the maximum from the sensors, as a result, the level of photography was stuck somewhere in 2015.
Do not believe? Here you have a simple comparison. On the left photo, made on (represented in the summer of 2015), and to the right, that I took off Xiaomi Mi6.
On the older side, ringing sharpness, maximum detail, the perfect white balance (removed on the machine). Pay special attention to blur. In the photo with it is truly creative, soft, removed as if on a mirror photo. Mi 6 covered the whole background in an unknown direction.
To compare a novelty from Xiaomi with its modern competitors meaningless. He thought to merge them, so continue comparing the cameras of our hero and veteran in the face of OnePlus 2 (photo again on the left).
We make 100 percent crop and we see that the MI6 algorithms tightly define all the details.
In total, it could be avoided if the smartphone was at least able to shoot in Raw. For example, how. That smartphone did good photos, but the "Range" photo was immediately seaurized. In MI6 there is no such thing.
And now all other examples of the photo taken on camera Xiaomi Mi6..
The strength of the Xiaomi smartphone is a night shooting. Here the photos are obtained very decent, and the camera can stand in one row to become with such devices like OnePlus 3T
In fact, this is no optical zoom, for we have completely two different lens: with a focal length of 27 mm (wide angle) and 52 mm - a telephone. Simply marketers ("Thank you", Apple once again replaced the concepts so that the mass consumer does not go into the details of how technologies actually work.
In any case, the chip is interesting and really useful. Pressed the zoom button and the smartphone switched to the second chamber with a 52-mm lens. Autofocus is not here, but the object of shooting is approaching twice without loss in quality. Well, how without loss? The S5K3M3 module is still worse than the main Sony IMX386, so the level of the picture slightly falls.
Video machine
The picture when shooting 4K is quite decent. Again, it is not topical, but still it looks good on the computer. There would be no colors such as oversaturated, it would be quite good.
But in terms of recording sound - nothing outstanding. Take the flagships from LG. The quality of videos do not really develop, but the sound is written exceptional. Moreover, in the same G6 added the ability to write an external sound in Hi-Fi quality. And this is what the flagship of 2017 should be able to! But Xiaomi doesn't want to hear about this.
As with the quality of the photo, Xiaomi was scored on Slo-Mo. MI5 removed in the resolution of 720p and with a frequency of 120 FPS. The detail is sad, the resolution is funny. In MI6, a smooth account has not changed.
In April of this year, Xiaomi introduced the Xiaomi Mi 6X smartphone, which came to replace last year's sales hit Xiaomi MI 5X and its European modification - Xiaomi Mi A1. What exactly brought the developers to a novelty and is it worth moving on it by having last year's smartphone model?
If short, then yes. The smartphone turned out to be really interesting and with good pricing politics will certainly be a hit of sales of 2018.
The novelty acquired a large 6-inch screen with the aspect ratio of 18: 9, which made it possible to increase the working surface of the mobile device and at the same time practically not affected by its dimensions.
A second, no less significant, plus, can be called a powerful processor, which is more than 70% more efficient than its predecessor and in, having about 140,000 points, "River" most Xiaomi models.
The next item can be called the chamber. After all, it is she, with two modules, attracted most MI 5X buyers. And if there were two lenses of 12 meters, then in MI6x the main received 20 megapixel, and the auxiliary - 12 megapixel. The front chamber was also improved and instead of 5 MP installed a module for 20 megapixel, and therefore selfie lovers will not be deprived by the quality of the obtained images.
The novelty of Xiaomi MI 6X also received the modern Android operating system 8.1 OREO and support for fast charging technology Quick Charge 3.0.

By design, this is all the same non-collapsible metal case with neat forms and a set of five colors.
But it was not without a "flying spoon": the smartphone lost the entrance of 3.5 mm for headphones, so you will have to be content with wireless headsets or carry the adapter with USB Type-C with you.
Like the predecessor, this model is deprived of the popularity of the NFC module, which means to pay using it at the box office with the support of Android Pay technology you will not work.
Thus, in some moments, the Xiaomi Mi 6X smartphone is similar to its predecessor, and in all the rest - exceeds it and recommended for purchase.
Like many other "fought" manufacturers, the company Xiaomi from the Middle Kingdom, feeling a strong soil in the form of a multi-million millionth army of fans, took significantly to significantly raise the price for each new flagship model of the smartphone. But is it worth it, is it really important for so much significant and what will the end user receive from this?
We present to your attention comparison of Xiaomi Mi5 - Flag of 2016, Xiaomi Mi5s, which is also in demand and Xiaomi MI6 - the new flagship of 2017. Let's start with the appearance.
Appearance
Front MI6 is work on errors, the screen has become more rounded, and the frames around the display decreased.
The MI6 is made of simple tempered glass, which is strongly scratched. In MI5, there were modifications with the back cover of ceramics.
But the MI5S is highlighted in a fully metallic case, which is much more practical than glass and ceramics.
But in the MI6 there was protection against splashes and dust, including rubber plugs on the connectors.
Screen
Here, neither MI5S, nor in the MI6 changed nothing, the 5.15-inch display with Full HD is also used in these models.
Is that in MI5 the design of the case did not allow the use of 2.5d glass.
CPU
Of course, in each new flagship there must be the most modern processor and here Xiaomi keeps up with the famous brands using the top processors Snapdragon. With each new modification, they become faster and more economical.
Xiaomi MI5 is equipped with Snapdragon 820 with the ADRENO 530 video screen, MI5S is running Snapdragon 821 and the same graphic chip, and the MI6 received Snapdragon 835 and Adreno 540.
By the way in the MI6 now 6 GB of RAM and, if we talk about the speed of launching the main applications, the last flagship from the Xiaomi unconditional leader.
In fact, it should be so Snapdragon 835 the fastest Qualcomm processor today.
If some MI5 users complained about sending FPS in heavy games, then with the MI5S exit, the number of dissatisfied users decreased, and with the advent of MI6 negative reviews almost disappeared from the forums.
In general, all these smartphones are suitable for playing, but the MI6 is an unambiguous leader.
Autonomy
Each new flagship grew in terms of autonomy. If the MI5 had a battery with a capacity of 3000 mAh, the MI5S has 3200 mAh, and the MI6 is already 3350 mAh, but the processor itself is playing a big role.
According to independent MI6 sources, 50-70% is better than autonomy than MI5. Xiaomi Mi5s is also good, but he loses MI6. In each model there is a quick charge.
Sound
Separately, it is worth mentioning about the sound in the headphones. The developers well worked on its implementation.
The sound quality in MI6 is especially highlighted on the background of MI5 and MI5S, although the fashion trend has had to follow and refuse the minijka. So now you have to use the adapter, which is rather uncomfortable.
As for the built-in speaker, in MI6, in addition to the appearance of pseudo-stereo compared to MI5, nothing has changed, but in MI5S the speaker worse.
Scanner prints
In MI5, the print scanner worked fine, but it was necessary to press the physical button.
In the MI5S, the physical button was removed, but the scanner worked with a delay and not quite adequately.
But in the MI6, this problem was finally solved and the print scanner works fine, even if the hands are slightly wet.
