Software
The Xiaomi Mi 6 runs Android 7.0 nougat out of the box and has the MIUI 8 on top of it, there is an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor placed beneath the front glass panel which means shorter recognition time and higher successful recognitions. The Mi 6 is also supposed to be resistant to splashes of water. The device has a pair of stereo speakers but sadly misses out on the 3.5 mm headphone jack which is loved by almost everyone.
Camera
The phone has incredible cameras with 2 rear cameras of 12MP each, similar to the iPhone 7 plus the Mi 6 houses a wide angle camera and another telephoto camera which allows for optical zoom capabilities. Both the cameras have 4-axis optical image stabilisation and should perform excellently in the real world. The front of the phone houses an 8MP front facing camera which is used for video calls and selfies.
