We have few Xiaomi phone users in our office. We noticed that a same model phones can physically differ by few millimetres and actually have a bit different hardware internally like sensors, and etc.

Xiaomi apparently sources multiple OEM models from multiple suppliers for sale under one label

eg. for the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 there are two variants "nikel (Mediatek) has 6 speaker holes on each side, while mido (Qualcomm Snapdragon) has 5. Mediatek also has screws on each side of the micro-USB port."
