When all the details about the upcoming Mi 6X – aka Mi A2 – seemed to be no longer a secret, a new wave of rumors appeared today to shake up everything. To clarify, some weeks ago the mid-range Mi 6X went through TENAA sporting an octa-core processor, a few days later another leak pointed that it would be the Snapdragon 626.
Today a new rumor popped out, to differ with every previous speculation, this new rumor points out that the Helio P60 will be the powerhouse of the Xiaomi’s new mid-range smartphone. The Helio P60 is one of the latest chipsets announced by MediaTek, currently, it can only be found in the Oppo F7. The Taiwanese SoC features four Cortex-A73 cores plus another cluster with four Cortex-A53 cores, it is definitely a worthy rival to the Snapdragon 636, but still, its Mali-G72 GPU MP3 can’t compete with the current generation of Adreno.
The new leak also suggests that the rear camera of the handset will be a slight upgrade from the Indian camera beast – Redmi Note 5 Pro. The main rear shooter will be a 12MP 1,5µm Sony’s IMX 486, but in counterpart to 5 Pro, the secondary camera will pack higher resolution 20MP 1.0µm Sony IMX 376 sensor. As previously reported, the front camera will feature a powerful 20MP sensor, that is the same IMX 376 present in the rear shooter.
