I'm after a mi6 plus, hopefully has band 20 support.

Great price for the specs.

no 6 plus announcement that I can tell. For those prices other chinese manufactures have got to sit up and listen

Looks great, but I wish they would release the full specs. I am assuming it has no sd card, but I would like to know what bands it uses and also if it has NFC.

It looks quite pretty. OIS and optical zoom sounds awesome as well - https://twitter.com/xiaomi?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author

specs are good but it will lack full support for the 4g bands in uk. i forget which band is missing (800 or 2600 one)

Usually missing is B20 (800).

I thought that the expensive variant was ceramic but still 128GB not 256GB as given in the OP.

Too small a screen for me ... I want a minimum of 5.5" really. Also no info on NFC, no band 800 and no headphone socket are downers. Lack of announcement for Mi 6+ and/or Mi Max 2 are also

Lack of software updates and that skin means it's a no go for me. Oh yeah and no OLED.

Lack of updates? .... Xiaomi phones seem to get a reasonable number of updates ...?

I'd prefer a vendor to release working updates even if they don't immediately jump to the next major version over that released with the phone and cause other problems. My phone, not a Xiaomi, has had Nougat available for it since January ... but have I updated, no ... all it does is introduce new bugs with no actual benefit. The people I know with Xiaomis seem to get regular updates with bug fixes and patches which is what is actually important
