    What's the story

    Expanding its product portfolio, Chinese tech giant Xiaomi has launched Mi Play in its home country.

    As the first phone in the Play series, it features a waterdrop notched full-HD+ display, gradient design, dual rear-camera, and mid-level internals including MediaTek Helio P35 chipset.

    In China, Mi Play has been priced at 1,099 yuan or roughly Rs. 11,000.

    Here's our roundup.

    Up front, the phone sports an edge-to-edge display with a waterdrop notch and sizeable top and bottom bezels.

    On the back, it has a glass-like chassis with gradient design, dual camera setup and a fingerprint scanner.

    The Mi Play features a 5.84-inch full-HD+ (1080x2280 pixels) display with a 19:9 aspect ratio.

    The Mi Play sports a dual rear camera setup comprising a 12MP primary sensor with an f/2.2 aperture, paired with a 2MP secondary sensor and an LED flash setup.

    Up front, the phone gets an 8MP selfie snapper.

    Moreover, we expect both the cameras to offer several AI-based features such as smart HDR and Portrait mode.

    The phone is powered by an octa-core MediaTek Helio P35 chipset, paired with IMG GE8320 GPU, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of built storage (expandable upto 256GB).
