Mi A2 Lite

Introduction

Xiaomi wanted to expand its reach beyond its few official markets and it had to do just one thing - give up on MIUI. It all started with the Mi A1 - Xiaomi's first Android One smartphone, and now not one but two sequels are coming to replace it - Mi A2 and Mi A2 Lite. Our Mi A2 review is done, so today we will be taking the Mi A2 Lite for a spin.The Mi A2 Lite is not your regular budget smartphone - it has a high-res notched screen with slim bezels, a dual-camera on its back, a very large battery, and runs on the latest vanilla Android OS. The notched screen is probably the highlight feature of the Mi A2 Lite and while controversial, it still adds for some modern looks.
Xiaomi chose a very powerful chipset for the A2, but the Lite model is getting the A1's Snapdragon 625. It's a dated, but still capable piece of hardware and seems like a good choice for a budget offers as the Lite.Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite review

Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite specsThe Mi A2 Lite is not your regular budget smartphone - it has a high-res notched screen with slim bezels, a dual-camera on its back, a very large battery, and runs on the latest vanilla Android OS. The notched screen is probably the highlight feature of the Mi A2 Lite and while controversial, it still adds for some modern looks.

Xiaomi chose a very powerful chipset for the A2, but the Lite model is getting the A1's Snapdragon 625. It's a dated, but still capable piece of hardware and seems like a good choice for a budget offers as the Lite.

Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite specs

  • Body: Aluminum body, plastic antenna strips at the back.
  • Display: 5.84" IPS LCD with a cutout, 1,080x2,280px resolution, 19:9 aspect ratio, 432ppi.
  • Rear camera: Primary 12MP, 1.25µm pixel size, f/2.2 aperture, PDAF; Secondary 5MP, 1.12µm pixel size, f/2.2 aperture - serving as depth sensor; 1080p@30fps video with EIS.
  • Front camera: 5MP, Auto HDR; 1080p/30fps video recording.
  • OS: Android 8.1 Oreo (Android One)
  • Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 625: octa-core 2.0GHz Cortex-A53 CPU, Adreno 506 GPU.
  • Memory: 3/3GB of RAM; 32/64 storage; microSD slot.
  • Battery: 4,000mAh Li-Po (sealed);
  • Connectivity: Dual-SIM; LTE, microUSB; Wi-Fi a/b/g/n; GPS; Bluetooth 4.2, IR blaster.
  • Misc: Rear-mounted fingerprint reader; single down-firing speaker; 3.5mm jack.
The Mi A2 Lite feature set seems like a thoughtful pick, but you can tell choices were made to keep the price low. The weakest link is probably the two-year old chipset Snapdragon 625, but still, that's not a big compromise, as it is still one fine chipset.
Of course, there is more to the Mi A2 Lite story. The smartphone was first released as Redmi 6 Pro running on MIUI in China, and as a Redmi its price is almost half the Mi A2 Lite's. But that's not as shocking though, the Redmi 6 Pro is made in China and for China after all. The Mi A2 Lite, on the other hand, has been backed by Google and should be available worldwide. And now, it's time to check it out!

Buget Smartphone

Xiaomi has a habit of whipping out new phones with category-defying features and specifications, much to the continuing delight of Indian smartphone buyers. This has catapulted the company to the  number one position  in terms of market share in just a few years' time. Xiaomi has made a name for itself with its hardware as well as the custom MIUI Android ROM, which has loads of features and a number of loyal fans. Why is why, the company's decision to release an entry-level smartphone with very basic specifications and the cut-down Android Go operating system came as a bit of a surprise. The new  Redmi Go  might seem weak on paper, especially in the shadow of the recently released  Redmi Note 7  ( Review ) and  Redmi Note 7 Pro  ( Review ), but it's important to remember what exactly mobile phones priced below Rs. 5,000 have been like before now. Phones at this level that we've reviewed in the past have had awful low-resolution screens with ba...
