A few months ago, a Redmi China GM, Lu Weibing talked about a compact handset. Since then, there hasn’t really been any news around the same. A couple of weeks ago, Xiaomi CEO, Lei Jun took it to Weibo to share that there are still more than 2 million people who are still using Xiaomi Mi 6. To recall, Mi 6 was launched 4 years ago back in April 2017. Recently, Xiaomiui, found the references of an upcoming Xiaomi handset with codename ‘Mercury’, based on which it claims that the company could be working on a 2021 version of Mi 6. To recall, the company had also launched the Mi 6 also a Mercury Silver limited edition.
Xiaomi may be making the 2021 version of the Mi 6!
Some things are compatible with each other like puzzle pieces. That's why we think it's going to happen.

In response to Lei Jun’s post on Weibo, a user responded, and said that they want the company to launch Mi 6 replica. Lei Jun did respond back to the user’s request and said feedback received. To recall, the Mi 6 offered a 5.15-inch screen, with a 16:9 aspect ratio, and was considered a compact device back in the day. Connecting these dots together, it seems that the company would be working on Mi 6 2021 Edition.
