The Xperia C5 Ultra holds a 13MP primary camera with autofocus, face-detection, panorama, HDR and a selfie camera of same 13MP, while the Xiaomi Mi Note also has a 13MP primary camera with all the above fancy features but the selfie camera is a little bit of disappointment as it is only a 4MP shooter.
