Xiaomi Phone new Launch

Xiaomi is anticipated to launch the successor to the Mi 5, the Xiaomi Mi 6 in the first half of 2017. Multiple reports earlier this week suggested a February or April launch for the Xiaomi Mi 6. However, new reports now say that Xiaomi will unveil the Mi 6 at an event on February 6 with sales starting in March.

The earlier delay in launch was reportedly linked to Samsung not being able to produce enough Snapdragon 835 chipsets, the newly announced SoC from Qualcomm being manufactured by Samsung. The Xiaomi Mi 6 is tipped to sport the new Snapdragon SoC, and the new report from a Chinese analyst says that there should not be any delay in production as Xiaomi has already started receiving the new chips. However, the Mi 6 will go on sale in limited numbers for the initial few weeks.
