Today CEO Lei Jun confirmed that the phone will come with dedicated dual SIM slots along with a microSD card slot that accepts cards up to 128GB.

Image on certification site showed 13MP front camera for the top-end version of the phone and even showed a flash, but the official press shots didn’t show the flash. Now the CEO has confirmed that the phone will have a 16-megapixel front-facing camera along with flash for capturing better selfies in low lighting conditions. These are expected only in the top-end variant.
