The primary camera on the back has a Sony IMX486 sensor with a resolution of up to twelve megapixels, with pixels of 1.25 micrometers in size and an f/2.2 lens. The secondary sensor is from Samsung and has a maximum resolution of five megapixels. Xiaomi uses the second lens to blur the background of photos. The front camera is a 20-megapixel module from Samsung.
