Xiaomi Mi 6 scores higher than Samsung Galaxy S8?

Xiaomi Mi 6 was leaked in a live image before. The phone has just been spotted on Geekbench benchmark website. According to the single-core and multi-core results, Xiaomi Mi 6 scores tell us this will be a powerful device. In fact, Xiaomi Mi 6 scores 2006 and 6438 in single and multi-core results respectively on GeekBench. Meanwhile, Samsung Galaxy S8 scored 1916 and 6011 and Galaxy S8+ scored 1929 and 6084 for the same test order.

Obviously, Xiaomi Mi 6 scores higher than the two latest Samsung flagships. What makes it such a premium smartphone? The Xiaomi Mi 6 features a 5.1-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels. Meanwhile, its bigger brother Mi 6 Plus may sport a 2K OLED display with curved edges and dual rear cameras. Xiaomi Mi 6 specs include the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset and Adreno 540 GPU, together with 4GB/6GB RAM.

In terms of photography, Xiaomi Mi 6 cameras sport a 12MP sensor on the rear and an 8MP selfie snapper. The phone runs Android Nougat with a battery of 4,000mAh. Xiaomi will probably use Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 4.0 technology for better charging support. There could be three memory options of 4GB RAM + 32GB ROM, 4GB RAM + 64GB ROM, and 6GB RAM + 128GB ROM. Since they are all inbuilt internal storage which cannot be expanded via microSD card, your choice depends on your demand and needs some considerations.

Xiaomi Mi 6 scores higher but will it cost higher than Samsung Galaxy S8?

Xiaomi Mi 6 price may vary from RM. 1399 to roughly RM. 1659. This is much lower than Samsung Galaxy S8 price, which is expected to be nearly RM 3756. Xiaomi Mi 6 will probably come in together with another giant Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 next week, on April 19.
