Chinese mobile maker Xiaomi unveiled the Mi 6, its latest flagship smartphone, at a packed-out event in Beijing on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The Mi 5’s successor features curved “four-sided 3D glass” and a front that isn’t bezel-free like the company’s Mi MIX<\/a>, but the phone does boast a lot of tech for a device that starts at 2499 RMB, or $360 \u2013 about half of what a base iPhone 7<\/a> goes for in China.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Like the iPhone 7 Plus, the new 5.15-inch Mi 6 includes a 12-megapixel rear dual lens camera combining a wide-angle lens and a telephoto lens. It also matches Apple’s latest smartphone with 10x digital zoom, 2x lossless zoom, image stabilization, and depth of field effects.<\/p>\n

Similar to the Mi 5s, the Mi 6 features a Qualcomm-based ultrasonic fingerprint reader built under the glass at the bottom of the phone. The “button-less” technology is said to recognize a 3D map of each user’s fingerprint through ultrasonic waves, although it only works within the bezel’s concave indentation that marks out the home button.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The Mi 6 includes 2×2 Wi-Fi, which is meant to improve connectivity speed, and does away with the headphone jack, settling for a single USB-C port instead. Elsewhere the handset features the latest Snapdragon 835 processor (also found in the S8), 6GB of RAM, 64GB of storage memory on the entry model, dual stereo speakers, a 3,350mAh battery, a new “night display” screen mode, and water resistance.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The Mi 6 with 128 GB option costs 2899 RMB ($420) while a special Ceramic edition goes for 2999 RMB ($435).\u00a0It’s unclear at this time whether the phone will become available in Europe or the U.S.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The announcement of a new flagship phone comes at a particularly important time for Xiaomi, which suffered its first sales slump last year. The company’s former VP of Global Efforts Hugo Barra left in February<\/a>, while CEO Lei Jun recently admitted the firm had grown too fast and was now entering a transitional period, as it focuses on its main markets in China and India.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
