According to a post on Chinese social media micro blogging website, Weibo, Xiaomi Mi 6C is likely to be a lighter and watered-down version of the flagship Xiaomi Mi 6. The post points out that Xiaomi has used 16-nm fabrication process to manufacture the Surge S2. Surge S2 will be an octa-core processor with four A73 cores clocked at 2.2 GHz and four A53 cores clocked at 1.8 GHz along with Mali-G71MP12. The device is likely to pack a 12 MP camera module on the back along with a 5 MP camera module on the front.
