Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi is expected to hit the market with a new handset. The Xiaomi Mi 6X is said to be the successor to Mi 5X, which was launched in July 2017. Interestingly, the Mi 5X was rebranded as Mi A1 in India, and shipped with stock Android as an Android One offering. It is not clear if the Mi 6X will have the same fate and turn into a Mi A2 outside of China.
The Mi 6X is going with an iPhone X lookalike vertical dual rear camera arrangement, whereas its predecessor 'emulated' the design of the iPhone 7 Plus. The phone may come with full-screen design, with an aspect ratio of 18:9 touchscreen, possibly a 5.99" panel.

Xiaomi might actually unveil (or at least showcase) this handset at MWC next month, and it may be powered by the company's own Surge S2 chipset. It will sport octa-core CPU with four Cortex-A73 cores clocked at up to 2.2 GHz and four Cortex-A53 cores at up to 1.8 GHz. The GPU employed is the Mali-G71 MP8.
