There is not much information shared about the alleged mid-version of the Xiaomi Mi 6, but rumors suggest that the base model may come with 4 GB of RAM, along with 64 GB of internal storage. It may be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 chipset or the MediaTek Helio X30 processor.

Meanwhile, a recent leak suggests that Xiaomi Mi 6's screen-to-body ratio will be high, similar to the recently launched Samsung Galaxy S8 and Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus. The bezels of the device will mostly be on the top portion of the screen to accommodate the front camera and speaker grill.
Aside from this, there are rumors that the upcoming flagship will come with dual-lens camera that will be configured vertically instead of horizontally. This feature may aid in capturing images with shallow depth of fields without blurring the rest of the focused image. The new model may come with two 15-megapixel main snappers.
