Xiaomi Mi 6 passes  the time by playing Geekbench, waiting for next week's reveal

A week before launch, the Xiaomi Mi 6 has completed the grand slam of benchmarks - we saw a high score in AnTuTu, detailed specs from GFXBench and now Geekbench.

If there was any doubt, this benchmark confirms that the Mi 6 will indeed be powered by a Snapdragon 835 chipset. This particular model had 6GB of RAM, but the base model will start with 4GB. Note that choice of RAM is also tied to choice of storage.

The unveiling will be held on Wednesday next week, but there's a chance the actual launch of the phone will not happen this month. Samsung is still trying to push out its Galaxy S8 duo, which is soaking up all available supply of Snapdragon 835 chips. There’s also Sony, LG, HTC, ZTE and many others also waiting in line for Snapdragon 835 stock.

Well, regardless of when the launch is, the pre-orders should start fairly soon. Does your piggy bank have CNY 2,200 in it?

Thanks for the tip, Jonathan!
