It was said that the Xiaomi 6 Plus might be launched in June, but according to the information disclosed by @ Leng Xi Dev, a supply chain related person, on his microblog, the Xiaomi 6 Plus has been cut off, which means that only one model of the Xiaomi 6 series will be launched this year.

Xiaomi 6 Plus/Xiaomi 6S is chopped

Before the launch of the new Xiaomi 6 machine, there was always a rumor that two machines, Xiaomi 6 and Xiaomi 6 Plus, would be released at the same time, but the information about Xiaomi 6 Plus was not mentioned at the launch. Later, it was rumored that the Xiaomi 6 Plus was not released because of the capacity problem of the display screen. It is expected that it will be officially released in June. According to the information that @ Leng Xi Dev, an industry chain person in Taiwan, interacted with netizens on Weibo, Xiaomi 6 Plus will no longer exist because Xiaomi 6 Plus has been cut down by Xiaomi. The specific reason is unknown.

According to Taiwan's supply chain person @ Leng Xi Dev, the cost of Xiaomi 6 is almost $300, so Xiaomi 6 Plus will encounter great problems in price formulation due to cost reasons. On the other hand, Xiaomi Note 2 and Xiaomi MIX have just been sold on the spot. If Xiaomi 6 Plus is launched prematurely, it will certainly have a big impact on the sales of Xiaomi Note 2 and Xiaomi MIX. It seems that Xiaomi 6 Plus should be cancelled.

Note 3 will appear in Q3 2017

More importantly, according to the reply of @ Leng Xi Dev, an industry chain person in Taiwan, on Weibo, Xiaomi will also launch Xiaomi Note 3 in Q3 (the third quarter) of 2017, which is about from September to October. It is said that this Xiaomi Note 3 will solve the screen problem, the biggest weakness of last year's Xiaomi Note 2. Xiaomi Note 3 is expected to use Samsung SAMOLED display screen, which will still account for a large amount.

However, due to Samsung's limited supply, even manufacturers such as OPPO and VIVO have very limited supply, let alone Xiaomi. Therefore, if the price of Xiaomi Note 3 rises like that of Xiaomi 6, it is not surprising. After all, the supply of goods is limited.

If Xiaomi Note 3 continues to use the full blooded Snapdragon 835 processor this year, it has an advantage that it is much cheaper than the original. According to @ Lengxi Dev, the order price of Xiaomi's Snapdragon 835 chip in the first quarter reached about $100, but by the second quarter, the order price of Snapdragon 835 chip had dropped to about $70, At least Xiaomi Note 3 will reduce the cost of processors.
