Xiaomi’s upcoming Android One smartphones said to feature in-display fingerprint sensor, 32MP front camera

It has been close to eight months since the Mi A2, Xiaomi's second Android One smartphone was launched. Earlier this year a report from XDA said that the company is working on its successor code-named orchid_sprout. Now a new report says that the company is working on two Android One phones codenamed 'bamboo_sprout' and 'cosmos_sprout' along with another phone codenamed 'pyxis' which should be the Chinese version of one of these phones. This report reveals that both the phones will feature an in-display fingerprint scanner, unlike the rear-mounted fingerprint scanner on both the Mi A1 and Mi A2. It also reveals that the phone will also come with a 32-megapixel front camera with 4-in-1 pixel binning technology that combines the information from four pixels to create one large pixel. Pixel binning is already available in the Mi A2 and most of Xiaomi's smartphones.
