Xiaomi’s upcoming smartphone Mi 6 has been in news for quite a long time now. Adding to the list of fresh leaks, a couple of new live images of the alleged Mi 6 have been now leaked online. An unknown Chinese tipster has leaked the images on Chinese microblogging website, Weibo of an unknown Xiaomi smartphone revealing the design of the upcoming smartphone.
However, we advise our readers to take these images with a pinch of salt as the authenticity of the images as well as the leaker is not to be trusted just yet. The device is shown downloading an MIUI 8 zip file in the images, but if indeed this is a Xiaomi smartphone is not assured. Moreover, the front Mi logo is also missing as seen in the images and the design revealed here is not inline with the earlier spotted leaked images.
Presuming the device is Mi 6, the device comes with a flat display and not a curved-edge one. The device shows an absence of physical home button and other buttons under the display on the front panel. The display seems to have a screen size between 5.2 inches and 5.5 inches. There is a high screen-to-body ratio as per the images which remind us of the screen ratio of the concept Mi Mix smartphone.
