Dimensions/weight from Xiaomi Singapore (global) page; thickness varies 7.99-8.2 mm across listings. NFC per Xiaomi (may vary by market). Stereo speakers from press coverage only. Main sensor size not reliably attributed (left null); video listed as 1080p max by one spec sheet. eSIM, update policy not found. No official India page read.
