Xiaomi will soon unveil its Mi6 flagship at the MWC 2017 event in Barcelona and possible specs of the Mi6 include a 4K display resolution with VR support, 16-core processor and a quick charging capability. According to rumors, the upcoming Xiaomi Mi6 flagship smartphone will first be launched in Mainland China and if this is true, the device will come from importers such as Geekbuying and Gearbest.

It is speculated that Xiaomi will launch three Mi6 models such as the Mi6 Standard, Mi6 Lite and Mi6 Pro. Sony may also integrate a 12 megapixel sensor-supported rear camera and a 4 megapixel front snapper on the handset. When it comes to design, the handset will be cased in metal with a home button where its fingerprint sensor will be embedded. An OLED surface will likely be placed as well. The phone's RAM might range from 4 GB to 6 GB with 128 GB to 256 GB of memory storage.

Previous Xiaomi devices had HD screens and the big leap to Ultra HD is quite dubious. Since the mobile industry is focusing on VR support right now, the Xiaomi Mi6 will likely come with a Quad HD instead. This is more apt for VR support and can still offer a full HD picture. The 16-core approach is likewise questionable because of the availability of the two highly-functional processors. Qualcomm has just launched the octa-core Snapdragon 835 which is a 10nm processor. It improves functionality by 30 percent in terms of efficiency, 40 percent in terms of sustainability and 27 percent in terms of performance.

The mobile industry is also trending towards dual-curved edges and Xiaomi Mi6 could just come with the same feature. With the highly-efficient Snapdragon processor onboard, it may need a Quick Charge 4.0 support that can supply about five hours of power for only five minutes of charging.
