Appearance, feel and workmanship

The xiaomi 6 has the glass + ceramic front and back, and in addition to the curve of the back cover in both the left and right sides, the upper and lower edges also increased the curvature, so that further enhance the sense of touch and perception. At the same time, xiaomi 6 also use the  2.5D glass, and the xiaomi ceramic back is the most amazing design. Finally, the xiaomi 6 stainless steel frame, with the transition of different materials between the front and back sides, is also handled fairly smoothly.

In terms of the size of 5.15 inches, xiaomi 6 is only 7.45mm, glass version 168g, ceramic version is only 182g weight.

Screen, showing effect

In general, the display of xiaomi 6 still maintained a high standard. It uses 5.15-inch 1080p screen with a satisfactory brightness, color performance. In addition, two new display features, personally speaking, I feel quite practical. The first is the eye protection mode, which can really make your eyes less tired. Then when the environment changes, the screen become light and dark, the transition is very natural.

By improving the depth rejection filter to reduce the computational load of each pixel to improve performance and reduce energy consumption, so the xiaomi smartphones are well controlled in terms of heat.
