Display and design take centre stage
The smartphone features a 6.77-inch curved AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It also offers peak brightness of up to 3200 nits, which is among the higher figures in this segment, improving outdoor visibility and HDR content playback.

Under the hood, the device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset, built on a 4nm process, which is designed to deliver stable performance for everyday tasks, multitasking, and moderate gaming.
The phone features a 50MP AI dual rear camera system and a 20MP front camera. Xiaomi is focusing on AI-driven imaging features such as AI Erase, AI Sky, AI Bokeh, and AI Reflection Removal to enhance photos without requiring manual edits.
Battery, audio, and connectivity

For multimedia, the device includes dual speakers with Dolby Atmos support, while connectivity features include multiple 5G bands and dual-band Wi-Fi for stable network performance.
Software and AI features
The smartphone integrates AI features such as Google Gemini and Circle to Search, reflecting a broader trend where mid-range devices are increasingly incorporating AI-driven tools for search, productivity, and content interaction.
Xiaomi is also promising long-term software support, with up to four years of Android updates and six years of security updates, which is relatively aggressive for this segment.
Durability and security
