Launched back in 2017, Xiaomi’s Mi 6 is among the most popular flagship of its age. Last year, some rumors said that the company is planning to reintroduce the smartphone with new internals and revamped design but it was just a rumor.

The CEO doesn’t mention where this figure came from, whether they apply worldwide or to Xiaomi’s home market of China only. However, this is a significant number of users for a phone that is more than 4 years old, most especially an Android one.
Besides, the Mi 6 is the last flagship with a small screen. It comes with a 5.15-inch display with a resolution of 1920×1080, a 3350mAh battery, Snapdragon 835 SoC, and more. In the camera department, this device uses a 12MPAI dual Photograph.
When we talk about its software, it came pre-installed with the Android 7 (Nougat) based MIUI 8 operating system. Currently, the device is running on Android 9 (Pie).
Later in May this year, the smartphone has received an official LineageOS 18.1 build on top of Android 11. Alongside the standard Android 11 features, the LingeageOS 18.1 brings a number of new features and improvements to the table.
Some of the main highlights include a built-in backup feature, revamped Recorder, and music apps, support for dark mode on all LineageOS apps, support for icon packs, and much more. If you are a Mi 6 smartphone user and want to taste Android 11, click here to download it.
