Let’s not be deceived because construction material is still plastic, but there’s no doubt that it draws much more attention visually.

Finally, in addition to the fact that the mobile comes with MIUI 13 for POCO based on Android 12, we have a pretty fair camera configuration. Yes definitely, at least 50 MP sensor integrated for main cameraan item populated with the following configuration:
