On the software front, it boots Android 11. Unfortunately, the exact version of MIUI is not known at the moment.
As far as optics are concerned, there’s a dual-camera setup on the rear comprising of a 13MP primary shooter and a 2MP depth sensor. On the front, there’s a 5MP snapper for selfies and video calls.
Connectivity options on the phone include a dual SIM card slot, 4G, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, GNSS, and a USB Type-C port. Other features include a dedicated MicroSD card slot, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor.
A 6,000mAh battery backs the handset with support for 18W fast charging. However, it ships with a 10W charger.
