The phone's AI dual camera detects 206 scenes across 25 categories and 6 customizable parametres. Under the hood, the phone runs Android 8.0 Oreo with Xiaomi’s MIUI on top.

The phone comes in two variants –one with 6GB of RAM and 64GB storage and the other with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The one with the lower storage and memory has been priced at RMB 3299 (approximately Rs 33,000) and the higher variant comes at RMB 3,999 (approximately Rs 40,000).

After tasting success in emerging markets like India and Southeast Asia and expanding into western Europe, Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi is all set to enter the US market as early as this year, reports have said.

Xiaomi has grown exponentially in India, which recently overtook the US to become the world's second largest smartphone market after China.

According to the International Data Corporation (IDC), Xiaomi shared the top slot with South Korea's Samsung in India, with a market share of 23.5 per cent, in the third quarter of 2017.

Xiaomi already sells a number of products in the US, including its Android TV set-top box, Mi TV, at Walmart locations around the country, The Verge reported on Monday.

But its success in the US smartphone market will ultimately depend on carriers and it will also need to navigate potential concerns from US intelligence officials, the reports said.
