While the attention of the Indonesian people is focused on the second round of the Jakarta gubernatorial election with candidates Ahok-Djarot and Anies-Sandi, Xiaomi has its own big job. Taking place at the Beijing University of Technology Gymnasium, the Chinese technology company today officially launched its newest smartphone: the Xiaomi Mi6. As a flagship smartphone, of course the Xiaomi Mi 6 is packed with abundant features, including updates from the previous generation Mi 5 and Mi 5s. Because most Xiaomi fans are specs minded, then it is not wrong if this phone is also armed with powerful specifications. In the engine section, Xiaomi Mi 6 uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor with an Adreno 540 GPU which is the first debut in China. This chipset architecture uses 10nm nano meters with a size smaller than a coin, but its energy is more efficient. A 3.350 mAh battery is a pair of power-efficient processors. The use of the Snapdragon 835 platform has a significant impact on performance. From the benchmark using Antutu which was exhibited at the launch, it can be seen that Xiaomi Mi 6 occupies the highest position with a score of 184.292, beating the Samsung Galaxy S8 into second place and the Huawei P10 in third place. Next, entering the part that is no less important is the RAM. This phone uses 6GB of RAM which is very spacious to run various applications. The type of memory used is also of high-end quality, namely LPDDR 4x 64-bit Dual-channel memory. In comparison, the Samsung Galaxy S8 uses 4GB LPDDR4 RAM. Moving on to the design, this is a flagship phone that Xiaomi is proud of with a 5,15-inch screen that is quite slim. Even Lei Jun, CEO of Xiaomi, called the Mi 6 as a masterpiece. The body is made with 3D glass technique on 4 sides, while the edges are made of stainless steel material that makes the Mi 6 look very luxurious. Not only that, the Mi 6 is also designed to be comfortable in the hand and resistant to splashes of water. Remember, only splash resistant, not water resistant. So it is not recommended to take this phone swimming. The design does look luxurious, although Xiaomi still maintains the screen and bezel design on the Mi 5S. There is no nearly bezel-less screen like the LG G6 or Galaxy S8. This dismisses several rumors that previously predicted the Mi 6 would come with a bezel-less design. The front appearance is increasingly conventional with the presence of a home button. Regarding the port design, the iPhone 7 became the Mi 6's mecca because Xiaomi followed suit by removing the 3,5mm audio port. To listen to music with a headset, you must use one that has a Bluetooth connection or a cable that is compatible with USB-C. Because only the USB-C port is available. It becomes troublesome if you are charging the battery but want to listen to music from a wired headset. You have to give in to one. For those who like to take pictures, don't worry because the Xiaomi Mi 6 follows the "current" trend by equipping a 12 MP dual camera for its main camera which is accompanied by 2x optical zoom. On the dual camera, the first lens has a resolution of 12 MP with a wide-angle lens type, while the second camera is a 12 MP telephoto type. In addition, the Mi 6 camera has a 4-axis OIS that makes taking photos or videos more stable. Are any Gizmolovers interested? In mainland China, the Xiaomi Mi 6 is priced at RMB 2499 for the 6GB + 64GB type. While for the higher type, which uses 6GB RAM + 128 GB, it is sold for RMB 2899. The highest type is priced at RMB 2999 with 6GB RAM and 128GB ROM and a special ceramic color. There is no news yet when this smartphone will be available on the Indonesian market. But if you see that this vendor has the "green light" to return to selling in the country because it has obtained a TKDN permit, then it shouldn't be long before the Xiaomi Mi 6 is launched on the market. Let's just wait and see.
