Xiaomi Mi A2 launched in India – Is it worth the hype?



Xiaomi has recently launched MI A2, latest Android One smartphone for the Indian market. Xiaomi MI A2 promises improve photography capabilities, Android one branding and a completely new design. But the real question is will it live up to the hype that Xiaomi has created.

So without further ado let it get straight to the Xiaomi Mi A2 specifications of the phone. It sports a 5.99 inch Full HD + 18:9 LCD Display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor, a 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage. But the phone had no expandable storage.There is good news for photography enthusiasts as the phone consists of a 12 MP + 20 MP rear camera and a 20 MP front camera as well for the selfie nuts.


According to today's smartphone standards, the battery can be considered a little above average, clocking in at 3010 mAh. It will run on Android Oreo 8.1 operating system, which will be upgradable to Android P.

The design is a definite improvement over the Xiaomi Mi A1. The new phone had a slender design than the previous one. It feels much lighter although the actual weight difference is negligible.A few design choices might reduce the customer base. The first one is the removal of the headphone jack. The second is the removal of the micro SD slot. Both these decisions are highly controversial as the phone does not belong to the high end spectrum. But on the other hand, this may be an adieu to the bygone era of headphones, ushering in the new age of cheap and abundant Bluetooth devices.

The real selling point of Xiaomi MI A2 is it’s camera. It can take stunning shots which are absolute brilliant at the price of Rs. 16,999. It is great at multitasking and can run a number of apps without any lag or stutters, even when gaming.

All in all, Xiaomi Mi A2 is a brilliant phone that may continue Xiaomi's trend to crash the market every time they release a new model.
