Xiaomi has officially launched its latest flagship handset and confirmed that it does indeed come with an under-display selfie camera.

The Xiaomi Mix 4 (which drops the middle "Mi" part of the name) has a hidden 20-megapixel front camera sitting behind a 6.67-inch curved AMOLED display.

The screen has a 2400 x 1200 pixel resolution and sports a 120Hz refresh rate.

On the rear you will find a 108-megapixel main camera, plus a 50x periscope camera and a "free-form" ultra-wide lens.

The phone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 Plus processor, with LPDDR5 RAM.

The battery inside is 4,500mAh and is compatible with 120W charging when wired. It takes just 15 minutes to hit 100 per cent charge in Boost mode.

Wireless charging is also available - 50W with 100 per cent charge in just 28 minutes.
