Perforated selfie camera, curved design and stereo speakers

As a great novelty in design, the Xiaomi Mi 10 has a selfie camera embedded / perforated on the screen . With this and thanks to the small size of its photographic sensor of only 1.74mm in diameter, an O-Inifnity screen is achieved without any distraction in the form of a notch.
