This is by far the best approach by Xiaomi. The phone packs in top of the line SD845 8GB of RAM 128GB of storage a 6.21 inch Super AMOLED display, an in display fingerprint scanner, 3D facial recognition, glass and metal sandwich design, great camera setup and a sasy looking transparent back..all that at such price point...Just waiting to get hands on the device if it comes India..
