How to read this guide
"Launched" means the phone is on sale. "Official" means Xiaomi has published it on its own website. "Reported" means credible outlets say it, but the company has not published it. "Not announced" means no source we could verify gives the detail. Retailer listings and leaks can be wrong, so wait for the official figures before you compare prices or battery life.
