What's up guys I'm Chigz and you are watching Chigz Tech Reviews and today
I've got my hands on the most powerful smartphone you can get for under $500 so
this is the Xiaomi Mi6 smartphone. The phone is a beast
and has been compared to the latest Samsung Galaxy s8 this phone is in fact
faster and cheaper than the s8 xiaomi is actually one of the biggest tech
companies in china they are huge and their products are generally superb
quality and they thrive on innovation so let's begin with the specs i'll put the
specs on the screen so you guys can have a quick read so you have a beautiful 5.1
5 inch full HD IPS screen with 428 PPI the CPU is a snapdragon 835 octa-core
running at 2.45 gigahertz the GPU is a ADREBO 540 running at 653 megahertz
you've got DUAL 12 megapixel rear cameras with optical zoom and front
camera is 8 megapixels you've got 6 gigs of DDR four RAM 64 gigs of internal
storage dual band Wi-Fi supporting BGN and AC you've got NFC IR blaster
fingerprint sensor and Bluetooth version 5 this is running me UI 8 based on
Android 7.1.1 Nougat also the Mi6 comes with 3350 mAh battery,
which is a higher capacity than what you get with
the iPhone 7 and s 8 and the fact that it supports quick charge 3 means you can
charge your phone up very quickly and of course it's got USB type-c charging so
this is everything again the box will begin with the instruction manual so you
got your pin for your SIM tray and you just got basic instructions here which
you're probably not going to need USB power brick here the extra charger it's
type-c so here's your USB type-c charging cable and just like iphone 7
you've got a 3.5 millimeter headphone adapter here you're going to need this
adapter if you want to use a wired headphone connection but I think the
best option is bluetooth and also this comes with a silicon case
last but not least the Xiaomi MI6 and here it is so I'm going to peel off all the stickers
the fingerprint sensor on this device is absolutely amazing and
unlocks first time every time you have three touch buttons on the front which
are home menu and back buttons and they're all extremely responsive and
feel great to use the build quality is amazing and I absolutely love how you
cannot see the edge of the screen at all cannot easily see how the screen then
the bezels meet beautiful design and first awesome in the hands on the right
you'll find your volume rocker and power button and on the left you will find a
dual nano SIM card tray so at the bottom we have a USB type-c port microphone and
loudspeaker and on the top of the device we have another microphone and an IR
blaster so let's check out some web browsing I will search for the Nissan
website as that is a very graphic intense site which contained loads of
photos and videos throughout the pages browsing websites is great that websites
look stunning and everything loads up quick and navigation is very smooth you
can really feel the power of the phone when you load a video from within the
website the video immediately plays and you can continue scrolling the website
whilst the video stays at the top that is just an example of RAW processing
power there
once again this mi6 impressed me in streaming YouTube videos the YouTube app
loads almost instantly and you're ready to string figures at 1080p the video
quality and the sound coming from this is absolutely outstanding
so moving on this device can handle any game from the Google Play Store and here
are a few examples
in the Wi-Fi speed test I was able to achieve a total download speed of
38.87 and upload speeds of 10.30 megabits per second.
I have a 40 Meg broadband connection so this device can achieve amazingly fast
Wi-Fi speeds and in the end Antutu benchmark test the MI6 was able to
achieve a total benchmark score of 179,307.
So if we compare that score to the current best
2017 flagship smartphones available to buy you will see that the Xiaomi MI6
is in number one with the best score as I do on all my devices I ran this
test three times 179K was the highest score I got I
have actually seen the mi6 achieve up to 184K on the
benchmark score so the mi6 is a clear winner and it's one of the cheapest
phones on the list coming to the cameras you have two 12 megapixel shooters on
the back which you can take amazing photos with you have lots of options and
settings to play around with and the overall results are great here are a few
sample indoor photos I've taken with this phone
so there you have it guys that was the Xiaomi MI6 smartphone I needed a new
smartphone and after all the research my decision was between this v6 and the
Samsung Galaxy s8 I'm really happy with my choice I've been using this phone for
around a week and this is now my new daily driver the iPhone 7 has been put
away so far I'm reall y liking this one I can do everything I want on this phone
with amazing speeds Wi-Fi speeds are super fast 3G and 4G speeds are great
GPS navigation also works very well and is very accurate and I use it everyday
the battery life is outstanding easily lasts a day before I go sleep I still
have 30 to 35 percent battery left and that is after a day of heavy usage
another awesome thing is quick charge 3 this phone can fully charge from 0 to
100 in 90 minutes if you use the quick charge 3 charger the build quality is
brilliant the phone is made from four sided 3d curved glass and finished in
high-gloss stainless steel frame and the phone feels amazing to hold this
concludes my video and with that being said I'll leave the links in the
description so you guys can check this product out and if you like it you can
of course go ahead and purchase one for yourselves if I can get hold of a coupon
discount for you guys I'll leave it in the description so you guys can get a
nice discount and grab what I think is the best smartphone of the year so far...
