Do you remember the Xiaomi “Jason” model that
appeared a couple of days ago on GFXBench, boasting a set of impressive specs
that could easily place it in the top tier mid-range category? Well according
to rumors, this could be the new Xiaomi Mi 6X model we’ve been waiting for.
At first most of us thought that this “Jason” device
could be a budget version of the Mi 6 model, but the appearance of the almighty
Snapdragon 660 SoC inside let’s us have hope for something much more
formidable. After all the most awaited Oppo R11 model is equipped with the same
chipset and other manufacturers are already working hard to use it in their
phones as well.
The upcoming Xiaomi Mi 6X
is expected to come with the aforementioned Snapdragon 660 SoC, a 12MP main
camera, a 4MP selfie camera, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of internal storage and a price
tag of approximately ¥ 1999 (US$ 295).
We can expect the Xiaomi Mi 6X model to be unveiled
by the end of summer, but we should all take the above with a
pinch of salt, until we have more concrete proof.
