Mi 8 Explorer Edition features

As mentioned above, the Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer Edition comes with an array of highlighted features. The device has a translucent glass back showing the internal components. There are reports that the translucent back doesn't show the exact innards of the smartphone but we are yet to get clarity from the company regarding the same.

While the Mi 8 and Mi 8 SE have a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, this one misses out on the same. Interestingly, it has an in-display fingerprint sensor as the recent Vivo flagship smartphones. There is a highly sensitive pressure sensor on the display to facilitate the same. A light touch on this fingerprint sensor will unlock the device.

In addition to this, the smartphone is equipped with 3D Face Unlock, which uses infrared for accurate unlocking even at night. Besides these aspects, the Mi 8 Explorer Edition has the Animoji feature, which debuted with the iPhone X to let users create animated emojis based on their facial expression.
