A new Xiaomi patent has recently surfaced online. It is currently unknown if the patent application has been granted. The patent reveals 3 different designs for a single smartphone, which features a dual camera setup on the front.
The patent was leaked online on Weibo, a Chinese microblogging website, and carries images that reveal three configurations for the dual front cameras. These selfie shooters are housed in punch hole format and can be seen in three different configurations. The first is where the dual selfie shooter is placed in the middle just under the top bezel.

The other two patents depict the same dual selfie shooter, but on the top left corner. However, one of these is vertically stacked while the other is horizontally placed. Notably, each patent image depicts both sensors being joined together. This area might feature other essential features like proximity and ambient light sensors. On the rear, a vertically stacked triple camera setup can be observed, alongside either a dedicated zoom lens or fingerprint scanner.
Another important aspect of the design that can be observed is its screen to body ratio, which is not relatively high. One can easily notice the bezels on all four edges, which may suggest that it is a new Xiaomi entry level or even mid range handset. Unfortunately, this has yet to be confirmed officially by the company. So, take it with a grain of salt.
