Powered by a Snapdragon 845 processor, the Xiaomi Mi 8 sports a 6.21-inch OLED screen from Samsung and has a notch, with the notch being the location of a 20-megapixel front-facing selfie camera. Meanwhile the rear takes advantage of a dual-12 megapixel camera setup. The Mi 8 Explorer Edition, meanwhile, adds some extra touches to your standard Mi 8, with an in-display fingerprint sensor that is pressure sensitive and a transparent back panel.

Xiaomi is also claiming the Explorer Edition is the first Android phone to take advantage of 3D face recognition tech. This means it has an equivalent feature to Face ID on the iPhone X.
