The image caption mentions that the image has been shot on a new Mi Phone, which, by the metadata, appears to be the Mi A2.The smartphone was also spotted on Geekbench and in a leaked hands-on video, which was taken down later. It has also been reported that the Mi A2 looks similar to Mi 6X and also comes with similar specifications. A Twitter user reported that the smartphone will come to India. Given that the Mi 5X was repackaged as the Mi A1, it's very likely that the Mi 6X will be repackaged as the Mi A2. The only difference, of course, is that the Mi A series phones run stock Android and not the MIUI-skinned version.Xiaomi's Mi 6X comes with a 5.99-inch FHD plus IPS LCD display with a resolution of 2180 x 1080 pixels.
