Almost Similar Camera

A 13MP sensor can be seen on both the smartphones at the rear side with support for PDAF and a LED flash. Frontal, there is an 8MP sensor on the Lenovo K6 Power and a 5MP sensor is present on the Xiaomi Redmi 3s. So, the K6 Power wins the race in the selfie camera department.
