The super-shiny Silver edition of the Xiaomi Mi 6 will... never see the light of day
2


And when we mention “premium build”, we are not kidding — aside from the rich choice in colors available at launch, Xiaomi also promised two special editions coming up. The first one became available a month ago — the Ceramic edition with 18k gold accents. The second one was supposed to be a super-shiny silver edition, but it seems it will never come to be.
The company's marketing director took to Chinese social media Weibo to state that the manufacturing process for the super-shiny silver finish is extremely hard and Xiaomi still can't get it right. It is stated that the manufacturer is still trying, so the Silver edition might not be dead for sure, but it won't be arriving soon.
At the same time, a Xiaomi Mi 6 Silver edition prototype popped up at an auction website. Zang Zhiyuan addressed this as well, stating that the prototype is legally a Xiaomi asset and the company will be looking to reclaim it, effectively discouraging shoppers from bidding. Just as an FYI, the starting price was $585.
