Xiaomi has added ‘AI Camera’ features, including Portrait mode, Beauty Mode 4.0, and face recognition on the cameras.

For the 6GB RAM/ 128GB inbuilt storage variant, there’s no official announcement so far but it will be coming soon in the Indian market which literally means there will be an update information about its price tag.
