You should really think more about what you say. We’re talking about final assembly, not soldering individual components onto the board.
Comment on Inside Xiaomi’s near-fully automated factory that assembles a smartphone in 6 seconds

I disagree, that phrasing suggests from assembling the circuit board to finished product, which I believe is impossible in 6 seconds, simply due to soldering time for components alone. The 6 seconds is only achievable on a “per unit” basis because they can make multiple units in parallel on the production line.

You should really read the article
Literally the sentence after that points out the production output is 10 million per year, which is 1 phone every ~3 seconds
They are indeed claiming to put together a unit, start to finish, in 6 seconds. Implying they only have 2-3 parallel production lines

I love the optimism.

Claiming is one thing, showing video footage is another.
If true, very impressive.
I have seen videos of pick’n’place machines. But I can’t imagine the solder baking, screwing and final assembly and preparing for the packaging taking only 6 seconds.
