Xiaomi is expected to launch the Mi A2 as successor to its first Android One smartphone. The company has invited Mi fans in Spain to join the launch event on July 24.
When Xiaomi announced that there would be a global launch event from July 23 to 25 in Spain last month during the start of the Mi Explorer Program, we only had a vague idea of what was to come. Now, thanks to a post on a Spanish MIUI forum, we know for certain that Xiaomi has scheduled a launch event for July 24 in Madrid, Spain, where it is expected to unveil the new Mi A2 smartphone.
The launch event in Spain, which is Xiaomi’s second in Europe after the launch of the Mi Mix 2 in Madrid last year, is open to all Xiaomi fans in the country. Those who register and get selected for the event by Xiaomi will not only get to attend the launch, but also receive an “incredible” gift. If you’re in Spain and want to register for the event, head over to this website and follow the steps. If you’re chosen, Xiaomi will contact you by email.
The Xiaomi Mi A2 is expected to be similar to the Mi 6X, as far as hardware goes. It will come with a 5.99-inch IPS LCD with an aspect ratio of 18:9 and a resolution of 1080 x 2160. Inside it, we should find a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chipset with an octa-core CPU clocking at 2.2GHz and an Adreno 512 GPU. Memory + storage combinations include 4GB RAM + 32GB storage, 4GB RAM + 64GB storage, and 6GB RAM + 128GB storage. Though the Mi 6X lacks a microSD card slot, the Mi A2 might come with one.
The camera setup on the Mi A2 is expected to be a 12-megapixel sensor combined with a 20-megapixel sensor on the back, and a 20-megapixel sensor in the front. The phone is expected to feature a fingerprint sensor on the back, and AI-enabled features for photography and face unlock. The battery on the phone is said to be a 3010 mAh unit with Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 support.
Following in the footsteps of the Xiaomi Mi A1, the Mi A2 is expected to run stock Android out-of-the-box. Because it will be an Android One smartphone, you can expect it to receive monthly security patches and regular major OS updates. The Mi A2, when launched in India, is expected to wear a price tag of Rs 17,000 for the 4GB RAM + 64GB storage variant and Rs 20,000 for the 6GB RAM + 128GB storage variant.
