Xiaomi Mi A2 Specifications
The Xiaomi Mi A2 features an aluminum chassis and sports a 5.99-inch Full HD+ display with an aspect ratio of 18:9. The display is protected by last year’s flagship Corning Gorilla Glass 5 and the phone is powered by an Octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chipset clocked at 2.2GHz. It has the fingerprint sensor and a vertically stacked dual-camera setup on the back. 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.
It runs on the Android Oreo 8.1 and since the phone has launched under Google’s Android One programme, customers will get unlimited high-quality photo storage on Google Cloud, as well as monthly security updates and at least two major OS software updates. The Mi A2 will be one of the first phones to receive the Android Pie update when it's rolled out later this year. You can read our review of the smartphone here.
