  1. eyes on the date!! 19th of april will be a great day for Xiaomi fans when we finally see what Xiaomi has to offer in 2017 against the top OEMs and that also at a much more affordable price tag!!
    still wish that it comes with a Headphone jack!!

    1. Sadly it didn’t come with one 🙁

  2. Same day as the S8 launch in India, I find that interesting.
    The hype is real with Xiaomi. And their phones have always lived up to the hype. Mi 5 was a success. Mi 6 will continue the trend.
    I used to brush off Mi as a shady Chinese manufacturer a couple of years ago. My opinion has changed a lot. I even see global smart phone reviewers and enthusiasts from the west appreciate Xiaomi for their robustness.
