Over at the front, it gets a 4MP f/2.0 front shooter with a larger 2-micron pixel size.

Keeping the lights on is a 3,000mAh battery that supports Quick Charge and it connects via USB Type-C. For the first time on a Mi device, the front gets a home button which also doubles up as a fingerprint scanner,. It also supports Bluetooth 4.2, NFC and dual-SIMs (Nano-SIM).
