When Xiaomi launched the Mi A1 in India, the device quickly became one of the most popular premium budget phones in the country given its stock Android finish. The departure from MIUI helped Xiaomi gain more traction in the Indian market and when the company launched the Mi A1 with Android One last year, the smartphone further boosted its market share in the country and made the brand almost invincible in the premium budget smartphone segment. Xiaomi even held a poll on its twitter handle asking fans if they prefer MIUI or stock Android, and the result of the poll was unsurprisingly in favour of Android One. Hence, the Mi A2 was born to succeed the Mi A1 and follow in its footsteps to engage users who want faster OS updates and the familiar feel of Android.
The Xiaomi Mi A2 was launched globally in three colours - Gold, Blue and Black. The 7.3 mm thin phone has an aluminum build and it sports a 5.99-inch Full HD+ display, the aspect ratio of which is 18:9. The latest generation of Bluetooth - 5.0 - comes to the phone along with last year’s flagship Corning Gorilla Glass 5.
A fingerprint sensor and a dual-camera setup aligned vertically make their way at the back of the Mi A2. The dual-camera system on the Mi A2 features a primary 12MP Sony IMX486 sensor having 1.25 micron pixels and a secondary 20MP Sony IMX376 sensor for portrait photography. Both the lenses have f/1.75 aperture. There is a 20MP front camera with a Sony IMX376 sensor and Xiaomi's Super Pixel Technology. The front camera also features AI-powered Symantec Segmentation for an enhanced bokeh effect and HDR for better quality photos.
