The Mi A2 was launched last summer and is the Chinese smartphone maker’s second Android One handset. It comes with marginal improvements over the Mi A1, which was launched in 2017, but skips the 3.5mm headphone jack.
The Mi A2 features a 5.99-inch full HD+ display with a resolution of 2160x1080. Powering the phone is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC coupled with Adreno 512 GPU. The Mi A2 comes in two RAM variants of 4GB and 6GB, with internal storage options of 64GB and 128GB.
For photos, the Mi A2 features a dual camera set-up on the back comprising a 12MP Sony IMX 486 sensor and a 20MP Sony IMX 376 sensor. On the front, it has a 20MP selfie camera with flash, capable of delivering a DSLR-like depth-of-field effect.
The Mi A2’s runs on Android Oreo-based Android One platform, and not on the MIUI ROM that powers other Xiaomi phones. Being an Android One device means Xiaomi Mi A2 is in the list of priority phones that receive the latest updates and security patches from Google. So the Mi A2 will be eligible for an Android Pie update whenever Google makes it available for other phones.
