6.2 inch 19:9 = 6.0 inch 18:9 TRUE estate
3300mah battery? Xiaomi the thing people love the most about your product is battery and price
20MP F/1.7+ 16MP F/2.0? well if it is a telephoto camera then at least it has fairly wide aperture (HTC has the second place in DxO mark and still using F/2.6 for there telephoto camera) what else would it be? the main camera?
let's hope it doesn't have the same old "NEW" in house ISP and stick to what snapdragons ISP there for (1080p 30fps? WTF?!! after the SD845 came out almost ALL flagships have the same speed recording 2160p fps 60/1080p fps 240 even the cheap 1+ has it)
no IP rating? the MI6 splash protection was PURE gimmick if you cover the USB port you can have full water protection it is like Xiaomi didn't want to make the phone to good to be true XP
XiaomI follows the NO 3.5mm jacks trend even if it helps water protection which they miss a shoot at since the iPhone X doesn't have it
transport glass back is good in look BUT Xiaomi still uses the old CGG 4 glass which is more prone to shattering the CGG 3,5
In all cases it WILL be shutter prone and heavy
WORST OF ALL you won't be able to see the inside of your phone why? fingerprints! you will have finger prints all over the back
oh and FACE ID so you most have a notch for it right? WRONG you will have more space if you used a full bezel
any way you will end up with a vary VARY small space for the notification Icons on the side of the notch (much like the iPhone X)
Oh and don't forget that chin (bottom bezel) serusly? you could even let go that use less bezel? if you want to copy iPhone then copy the good things
over all it is a good phone in rang of 500£ Xiaomi is wasting there time trying to beat Apple in there game
please Xiaomi STOP COPYING Apple (or any other manufactur) make it your way ;)

    fail, 24 May 2018*shaking my head*Since you're shaking your head does that mean you don't want a bigger capacity battery?

    I'd like to see how long you last on a 3.3k battery because for me that's not enough
    so I'll shake MY head at that.

      Pls pls OEMs....battery battery battery n more battery that is highly optimized should be a major center piece of these pocket or handheld computers that we call phones.
      A majority of phone buyers will gladly buy phones with a little girth say 9-10mm with a huge battery of say 4000+mAh. Why can't we get this from these major flagships. Huge bezels used to be a problem which now seems to be solved...i really hope capacious battery, power/stamina should be next to be conquered. All these flagships with

        That's ok..but i think black shark is better

          My next phone if it has EVDO and American frequencies support

            The real caveat is the battery, and the screen resolution. IPS ain't a probs, since I prefer IPS than my current ZF3 Deluxe w/ AMOLED. Less prone to burn in (my former case, luckily solved), and less prone to blackouts. Bkoz my friend's Iphone X is currently being repaired for getting blackouts btw.

              Most of the specs look like the OnePlus 6's specs, except the internal storage+RAM combo doesn't match and the 2nd rear camera is f/2.0.

                IPS and 3300 mah ? no thanks I wont buy it

                  I really hope it is an OLED phone. I don't hate IPS but I wouldn't feel happy paying premium price for an IPS phone

                            I love Xiaomi phones, currently using the Redmi Note 4 and have the Mi Mix 2 on order. My best phone was their Mi 5. I was looking forward to an Mi 7 of about 5.7 inches. I have no interest in a 6.2 inch display. It will either be too wide to hold comfortably in all but large hands or too tall, like the Galaxy S9 + and I would worry about it tipping out of my shirt pocket. I just don't need all that display real estate anyway. For my needs, a large display is just a battery drainer with so many needless pixels to light up.
