Xiaomi's upcoming flagship has been constantly in the rumor mill for quite some time now, with new images for Mi 6 leaking once again this week.

A new photo leak surfaced on the internet pertaining to Xiaomi Mi 6. The image is not very clear, but it looks like a glossy black version of the alleged upcoming flagship. It has chamfered edges that look similar to the design of Xiaomi Mi Note 2, which is in line with one of the rumors mentioned about Xiaomi Mi 6 before.

Aside from this, the image shows a small home button at the bottom of the device, as well as a dual camera at the back, which are consistent with the speculations indicated for Xiaomi Mi 6 before. However, there is no way to verify the authenticity of the photos, as those may also just be a rendered version of the device.

Xiaomi Mi 6 is constantly under discussion, with several rumors and speculations made about the flagship device. Just last week, there were rumors that Xiaomi Mi 6 will come in three different variants with different release dates.

Based on the information leak, Xiaomi will carry the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset. However, because of the agreement between Samsung and Xiaomi, the rest of the smartphone makers will only be able to get Snapdragon 835 in May.

With this, there are rumors that Xiaomi will be releasing the base model of Mi 6 with Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 next month and the premium variant with the Snapdragon 835 processor later on. However, there are also contradicting speculations that the Chinese company will just wait for May for the release of all the models.

Even the specifications of Xiaomi Mi 6 are not confirmed. The upcoming device is anticipated to come with Quad high-definition (HD) 2K organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display screen. The base model may come with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage, while the higher tier may carry 6 GB of RAM along with 256 GB of internal storage.

To date, Xiaomi remains tight-lipped despite all the leaks and rumors made about Xiaomi Mi 6.
