The device sports a 12MP+5MP dual rear camera setup and a 20MP front shooter. The report claims that the Mi 8 SE could be priced between Rs 18,000 to Rs 20,000.
The Mi Band 3, on the other hand, features a 0.78-inch OLED display. It has a heart rate sensor, activity tracker, sleep monitor, step count tracker and much more. It is water resistant up to 50m.
