Designs and Display
You could see that the smartphone has a generic reinvented design common to recent Redmi series which seems to do the trick. However, it is still quite sturdy having a metallic back panel with curved edges and compact build. On the other hand, it is a bit plastic at the top and bottom for connectivity housing the antenna lines. As for the bezel reduction, there’s nothing drastic here just standard cut backs to make the screen more appealing.
Furthermore, the smartphone comes with a notch as mentioned earlier and much of a standard bezel reduction to support a bigger screen. On the other hand, it has a decent 6.26-inch display with a pixel density of 403 ppi brought about by a 1080 X 2280 pixel resolution.
Battery and Camera
Featured here is the battery capacity that we have been accustomed to on several other Xiaomi smartphones especially the Redmi series.

To recover faster the drained power, you have quick charge tech available on it.
Optics on the smartphone include a quad camera shared equally on both sides. Is it good enough for day to day capture? I would say Yes, with a 12MP primary camera and a 5MP depth sensor at the rear you can rest assured of decent shots. Among features available is portrait mode and AI intelligence to make the pictures better. There is a 20MP camera as well as a 2MP sensor both located in the notch.
