Now when you are looking at the specs, the phone is loaded with all the good things that you can hope from a flagship. You are getting the latest Snapdragon 865 SoC which does come with 5G, 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. However, Redmi also sells this phone with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. Moving onto the optics, you are greeted by a quad-camera setup with the main camera being the 64-megapixel Sony IMX686 sensor that also supports 8K video recording. You also have a 13-megapixel ultra-wide sensor, a 2-megapixel macro lens, and a 5-megapixel telephoto lens. On the front, you have a 20-megapixel pop-up camera. Last but not the least, the more expensive model or the Pro Zoom comes with an additional 8-megapixel telephoto lens with 30x zoom, which is impressive, to say the least.

Moving onto the display, you are getting a 6.67-inch FHD+ AMOLED display that offers 1,200 nits peak brightness as well as HDR10+ support. However, you are only getting a 60Hz panel, so we know that's where the corners were cut as far as the pricing is concerned.

Powering the device, there is a 4,700 mAh battery that comes with 33W fast charging. You also have Wi-Fi- 6 support, IP53 water resistance, and a headphone jack, as well.
