Xiaomi Mi 6 to hit the global markets soon; India release remains unknown

Xiaomi launched its flagship smartphone - Mi 6 in April. With over two months of its launch, the device has been made available only in select markets such as China, Russia and a few others.

Now, it looks like the device is gearing up for its global release. We say so as the Mi 6 will soon be listed for sale in Hong Kong, Taiwan and a few other significant markets where Xiaomi has a good market presence.
