I had this phone in 2018, pretty sure it was the Ceramic model! I also liked the blue one too but probably couldn't get my hands on it. I vaguely remember the camera being pretty good! I have a picture of a cat. 🐱

I've got this one for almost 3 years, it's really good.
Camera, functionality, power.
A shame though 64gb is not enough.

Social climber? Not any more. Xiaomi started a new trend of design then alot of the big manufacturers started following. Who's got the last laugh again?

With OIS, photos can be taken at longer shutter times because of the stabilizer, and with longer shutter times, the sensor is exposed longer to light, giving way to brighter images with lower ISO levels, which also leads to lower noise, and because of that, the software processing doesn't have to aggressively reduce the noise levels down (typically leads to very soft though clean results). Photos taken with OIS are mostly sharper because of the stability of the sensor while capturing.

Just wanted to add my view since I actually have both the Mi5 and Mi6. Despite any comments about "copying others" or "last year designs", the Mi6 is actually a fantastic phone and (imho) the best phone made in the 5.2" or so size. In fact, I hope the Mi7 keeps the same form factor and does not go the route of the 18:9 screen ratio trend. If they make any changes at all, maybe reduce the bezels a bit to squeeze in a 5.3" screen, and maybe offer a (very slightly) larger 5.7" model.
I personally feel this size phone (or possibly just a small bit larger) is the most functional and useful for everyday use. I also much prefer having the fingerprint scanner on the front as the home button, with the 2 UI buttons next to it.
I am not saying phones with larger (taller) screens are worse than this size, and maybe for many people that use their phone for media etc, having a taller screen and minimal bezels is preferred, but in practice, anything larger than the Mi6 size becomes increasingly more difficult to use one handed. Although you can use various methods such as custom gestures or navigation fly outs to mitigate this, (I feel) they all have disadvantages.
If you are willing to adjust how you use your phone to account for the larger (taller) screens of most of the current designs, then sure, there are many other options. But if you prefer a phone that fits in and can easily be used one-handed, then the Mi6 is just about the perfect size and layout, with a fantastic screen, amazing battery life and top performance.
About the only other thing that is worth considering regarding the Mi6 is the ceramic version is surprisingly heavy, which may make it uncomfortable for some people over extended periods of use.

I like the phone, although they need to rev up the slow motion modes, this is SD 835 for God's sake, not a Snapdragon 625 (which can do all the video recording modes mentioned here).
@ GSMA staff: Hey Guys, you said, "In handheld shooting, the shutter speed would go down to 1/12s so the OIS is not doing a class-leading job but most photos we shot turned out sharp."
Could you please explain how OIS is supposed to increase shutter speed?
The last I checked, OIS only stabilises a photo, so they turn out sharp, but shutter speed isn't affected at all.
