Xiaomi E6 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Xiaomi E6 - the mystery of nature

Marketers of the Chinese corporation Xiaomi knowingly work their bread out. The increase in 1000% of the number of phones sold in Europe for the first quarter of 2018 compared with the previous period causes delight by the work of professionals. However, there are fails also. So, the assortment of the company's products sometimes is expanded artificially, and the reasons for this expansion are not always clear.

The hero of today's review differs a little from the models of Redmi current generation. The exterior of the new model almost literally copies this from S2. The same dual photocameras, a metal housing, a fingerprint sensor on the back panel and a bezelless panel. Its diagonal is 6.18 inches, resolution is 2160x1080 pixels. The OGS display image is equally good both in sunlight and in the dark. At angles of inclination the image is not distorted, preserving all the saturation of colors.

The Snapdragon 625 CPU, coupled with 3GB of RAM and the Adreno 506 GPU have already become a part of not one dozen of modern phones. Such technical characteristics do not impress the impression by their performance, but are still capable of running resource-intensive games like World Of Tanks Blitz or PUBG Mobile with good graphics settings. 32/64GB of ROM is allocated for storing such applications. The internal storage can be expanded with microSD cards, however in this case one of the SIM cards have to be forgotten.

The rear 12-megapixel Sony IMX486 photosensor, combined with a 5-megapixel auxiliary photomatrix, demonstrates remarkable shooting quality for the price segment. However, we can not hope for high-quality photographs in poor lighting. But the 16-megapixel frontal matrix will be a great tool for creating perfect selfies. But the battery at 3300mAh guarantees only six hours of active screen time, which is difficult to consider an impressive result. The infrared port, the well-designed MIUI based on Android 8.1 OS, LTE and OTG, of course, add attractiveness to the phablet, but a large number of similar devices under the same brand are unlikely to disclose the potential of the gadget as a future hit.
