The technology advances so quickly that often the smartphone companies "forget", perhaps deliberately, precious jewels in their drawer, It is the case of Xiaomi that in recent times has been very busy, both in terms of software development, to for example the image processing algorithms of the cameras integrated in the devices or the launch of MIUI 11 on most of the models in the price list, but also at the presentation of real flagships.
It is very strange therefore to talk to you, after a considerable amount of time, about a top of the range, about which at the time there was a lot of rumor but which never took shape except through prototypes. We talk about Xiaomi Mi 6 pro, since some images appeared on the net, show it to us in its entirety. Recall that Mi 6 was launched way back in 2017 and immediately there were rumors about the possibility of launching an increased version, precisely the Pro. Everything then faded and went quiet but now the Chinese leaker DigitalChatStation, he feeds us some live images of the Xiaomi Mi 6 Pro, confirming that the rumors of the time were not the result of imagination.
Xiaomi Mi 6 Pro: the "forgotten" smartphone appears live
Although the design at the time of today is rather vintage, we can still notice some goodies that leave us partly saddened that the company has never implemented them on other devices. In particular Xiaomi Mi 6 Pro shows itself with a curved display on the edges and produced by LG, embedded in evident frames where in the upper part we find the selfie camera, the ear capsule and the sensors while in the lower one there is the fingerprint sensor, as a physical key, and soft touch keys.
The back of the smartphone is armored by a glass, the design of which is broken by a dual vertical camera flanked by the LED flash. On the upper profile there is the SIM tray and a button probably dedicated to turning on / off the Mi 6 Pro. The lower profile is not clearly visible but the earphone input does not seem to be present while the Type-C input is clearly visible . Do you notice something strange? Oh yes the Xiaomi Mi 6 Pro does not have physical buttons on the side frame and therefore, according to the Chinese leaker, this model uses pressure-sensitive virtual buttons.
Well not a bad thing and that we still hope to find on a new Xiaomi device. To conclude, the now abandoned Xiaomi Mi 6 Pro would have enjoyed a highly respected data sheet for the time, thanks to the SoC Snapdragon 835 as well as waterproof capacity. And would you have snubbed him?
