Xiaomi just brought the Mi A2 to India after announcing it in Spain a couple of weeks back. The successor of Mi A1, the A2 packs a 5.99-inch FHD+ 18:9 display with dual rear cameras, a 12-megapixel rear camera with f/1.75 aperture along with a 20-megapixel secondary rear camera to capture depth information. The smartphone is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 660 chipset with 3,010 mAh battery.
The Mi A2 runs Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box with the Android 9 Pie update to land by the end of this year. The phone has a unibody metal design with the fingerprint sensor placed on the back and the USB Type C port on the bottom. There is support for Quick Charge 4.0 but you have to buy the fast charger separately.
One thing to note here is the A2 doesn’t comes with a 3.5mm headphone jack and the micro-SD card slot is also sadly missing.
