The Chinese tech giant is rumoured to be working on
the Xiaomi Mi6C, a cheaper variant of the Mi6. Also debuting with the device
will be the Surge S2, Xiaomi’s in house developed chipset, if rumors are to be
believed.
The Xiaomi Mi5C was launched earlier this year,
making it the first phone to sport the Surge S1 chipset. There have been rumors
floating around regarding the specs of the Surge S2, claiming that it’ll be a
10nm chipset, whereas some reports state that it’ll be a mid range chipset
sporting four cores of Cortex A73 clocked at 2.2GHz and four cores of Cortex
A53 clocked at 1.8GHz.
There is not much information regarding the Xiaomi
Mi6C, but certain reports hint towards a full screen device with a display size
of 5.65-inches and an aspect ratio of 18:9. It is expected to sport specs
similar to the Mi6, sporting a dual camera setup on the back. From what has
been observed, the Mi6C will be priced lower than the Mi6.
Xiaomi is one of the few companies that has
implemented their own chipset in the smartphones, joining the likes of Huawei
and Samsung. There is no word on when this phone will see the light of day, so
watch this space for more.
