After the reveal of the Mi Mix 2S and Mi 8, the next phone from Xiaomi that will grab headlines is expected to be the Mi A2. The smartphone will likely stick to the same recipe as its predecessor, featuring a solid spec sheet, a bloat-free Android experience, and an affordable price tag.
The Xiaomi Mi A1 is a rebranded version of the Mi 5X. The only difference between the two is that the Mi 5X runs Android with the companys MIUI skin on top, while the Mi A1 is an Android One device. The story is expected to be repeated this year, the Mi A2 could be a rebranded variant of the already announced Mi 6X.
The phone could sport a 6-inch Full HD+ display with an 18:9 aspect ratio and pack the Snapdragon 660 chipset along with 4 or 6GB of RAM under the hood, just like the 6X.
The Xiaomi Mi A2 may feature dual cameras on the back with 20MP and 12MP sensors. The setup will support AI-powered scene recognition to identify whats in the frame and adjust settings to produce a better image. The selfie camera on front would come in at 20MP.
Other specs include a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, an IR blaster, and up to 128GB of storage. The battery could have a 3,010mAh capacity, making it slightly smaller than the Mi A1 (3,080mAh).
The Xiaomi Mi A2 is expected to come with the same design as the Mi 6X. The device could sport slimmer bezels than its predecessor and ditch the capacitive buttons on the chin for a more modern look. It will likely retain the metal back and feature a vertically positioned dual-camera setup. The back may also feature a fingerprint scanner in the middle and Xiaomis branding further down.
The Xiaomi Mi A2 is expected to cost roughly the same as the Mi 6X. That means it could be a little more expensive than its predecessor Pricing could start at around $250 (almost 30,000 In Pakistani Rupee).
