Very good price for this. I paid £316 for the black version which I thought was a good deal. This looks even better!

The phone does support B20 but it needs to be unlocked as I have seen it in a post in Chinese and I google translate them
1. an unit of xiaomi 6
2.miui version does not matter
3. unlock the phone (official BL lock).
4. Complete root is best surper su (millet 6 plate tutorial block there is a third party rec built-in root can be perfect root)
5. Computer command prompt Administrator to open and then connect the phone, the phone needs to boot and open usb debugging, root request click allowed.
6 then enter the adb shell and then enter the # show that the connection is successful
7. Enter su and press Enter to enter parentheses without parentheses! The
(Setprop sys.usb.config diag, adb)
And then enter the attention of the space after the success of the punctuation mark will appear # symbol!
8. phone dial input * # * # 717717 # * # * mobile phone will be prompted (a bunch of English is about open meaning)
Then follow the following post graphic operation just fine ☛ miui.com/thr…tml
9. Open the command prompt to open adb shell and then enter the show # proved successful connection
Enter su Press Enter and enter setprop sys.usb.config mtp
After the success of the computer will appear # sign!
10. This command exits the high-pass port, otherwise it can not connect the computer mpt

I'm not sure whether this is the ceramic version. When you search it up on gearbest it comes up as a different selection

It is the ceramic version if you look at the specs product weight is 182 grams the other non ceramic 128gb specs says 150 grams

Hmmm. Your probably right but I don't understand why there are 2 seperate listings for the Ceramic version!
BUCKUM2 to crazy_kalz
15 Sep 17#14

Its very confusing on gearbest. If you search "Mi6 Ceramic" it only comes up with one option and its a different selection to this one.

Ceramic ? I have shuddering images of dropping it and it shatters like a plate ! And 12mp for a camera isn't particularly good.

I have no idea about the quality of this camera, but pixels don't equal quality. Image quality is based on the quality of the optics and sensor.

So they say. But odd the best ones aren't the lowest or even high middle range of MP Its the size of the sensor and with a phone you're limited in that regard anyways so - mega pixels it is

If what you are saying is right why are there no 16 or 20 MP camera phones in the top 8 camera phones all the best rated have 12 MP just like this xiaomi Mi6 which is rated in the top 8 and the only reason its not in the top 4 is lack of sharpness in 4k video here is techadvisors review At roughly half the price of most flagship phones, the Xiaomi Mi 6 is a seriously tempting device if you want an iPhone 7 Plus but can’t afford – or justify – the extra cost.
It’s hard not to see the Mi 6 as a complete copy of the 7 Plus: it has dual-12Mp rear cameras, one of which is a 2x telephoto lens. It also calls its depth effect ‘Portrait Mode’ and it works exactly like the iPhone’s.
The cameras are flush with the back of the phone, unlike the iPhone’s, and things are slightly different at the front. Here the Mi 6 has an 8Mp selfie camera with a beauty mode, which the iPhone doesn’t have. It’ll estimate the age of the face it detects, a fun feature you’ll likely turn off if it doesn’t flatter.
It doesn’t replicate the iPhone’s camera app and has some extra modes including a fun and configurable tilt-shift mode for making things look like miniature models.
The main rear camera does a grand job of producing sharp, well-exposed images that – in good light – are very detailed. Unfortunately, HDR is a manually operated control so you’ll have to use your judgement as to whether it’s needed or not. But it works really well to improve dynamic range when you do need it. Our only complaint is that the app crashed a few times using this mode.
Similarly, the depth effect is very effective in selecting the subject (or even several people) and blurring the background to create satisfying bokeh. Very occasionally it will get it wrong and completely fail, but on the whole, it works well and delivers top-notch results.
When you need the zoom lens, it does a good job in bright light. The smaller aperture means it’s not great in dimmer conditions. Photos aren’t processed and sharpened as much as the iPhone’s, so the overall result is slightly softer looking images, but with faithful colours.
We were surprised at the phone’s low light capabilities, almost matching the HTC U11. It manages to retain detail yet also do a good job of keeping noise at bay
The Mi 6 stumbles when it comes to video. Its 4K footage isn’t as crisp and detailed as the iPhone’s, nor does it have good stabilisation. It appears that the OIS is used only for low-light photos since the video has the jerky appearance of not-very-effective electronic stabilisation. Plus, the microphones record tinny, thin sound.
Ultimately, it’s astounding that the Mi 6 can compete at all with flagship phones, but it does. It’s capable of excellent photos and has the benefit of the 2x telephoto lens plus the depth effect. Don’t expect great video, though.

Fans of the phones they voted perhaps ?
I note no Sony Xperia.
Bit strange considering what they DID put in.
To each their own of course
