Xiaomi Mi 6 is rumoured to be powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 835 SoC. Even though reports suggest that the Galaxy S8 will be the first smartphone to come with the new SoC; GSMArena quoting an iSuppli analyst has said that Mi 6 will be the first Chinese smartphone to get the 835 SoC. It is believed the low production rate of the SD835 SoC might affect the February timeline of the Mi 6 launch, and might push it to March or April.
