Xiaomi Mi 6 stock sells out in seconds

The second phone in the world to sport the Snapdragon 835 seems to be as popular as the Galaxy S8 in China.

Xiaomi launched its flagship Mi 6 a few days back at an event in Beijing with this year’s most anticipated chipset – the Snapdragon 835. The company made it available for the first flash sale yesterday in China and guess what? All the units of the phone vanished within seconds.

The Mi 6 sold immediately after the flash sale started and many were reported to be left disheartened after missing out on the sales. However, Xiaomi has stated that the Mi 6 will be available on 5th May for the next China sale.

This amount of interest indicates that the Mi 6 has got many interested in itself. And why shouldn’t be everyone interested in the Mi 6? After all, you are getting Samsung Galaxy S8-levels of performance (if not better) for half the price of that curvy phone with Infinity Display.

The Mi 6 has got a 2.45GHz Snapdragon 835 chipset accompanying 6GB of RAM as standard on all the variants. You also get dual lens “iPhone 7 Plus-esque” rear camera, ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, 64/128GB storage, four-sided curved glass/ceramic body and a 3,350mAh battery for roughly Rs 23,999. So, have they skipped on anything? Yes, the 3.5mm headphone jack is gone, leaving the humble USB Type-C to handle all the duties of being the music port, charging port and data transfer port.

There is no official word from Xiaomi on the availability of the Mi 6 in India yet. But, if Xiaomi brings it to India sometime later in the year, Indian tech enthusiasts will be happy to get an SD835 phone in a premium body for half the price of a flagship phone.
