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 pric.e tag.
Although Xiaomi hasn’t confirmed anything about the Mi A2 yet, we have a good idea of what to expect thanks to the latest rumors and a few educated guesses — check them out below.
Xiaomi Mi A2: Release date
There’s no word on when the Xiaomi Mi A2 will be announced. Its predecessor launched last September, but that doesn’t tell us much since Xiaomi doesn’t always stick to a traditional 12-month release cycle.
It’s possible the manufacturer will speed things up this year and launch the phone within the next month or so. The Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite, which could make its debut alongside the Mi A2, stopped by TENAArecently — hinting it may be revealed soon. But nothing has been confirmed yet, so the Xiaomi Mi A2 could still be months away.
Xiaomi Mi A2: Specs and features
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 company’s MIUI skin on top, while the Mi A1 is an Android One device. The story is expected to be the same this year, meaning the Mi A2 could be a rebranded variant of the already announced 6x
The Xiaomi Mi A2 may feature dual cameras on the back with 20MP and 12MP sensors for those fancy bokeh shots. The setup should support AI-powered scene recognition to identify what’s in frame and adjust the settings to produce a better image. The selfie snapper up front should come in at 20MP.
Xiaomi Mi A2: Price
The Xiaomi Mi A1 with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage retailed for 15,000 rupees in India at launch (~$225), making it similarly priced as the Mi 5X. Although pricing for the Xiaomi Mi A2 hasn’t been confirmed yet, we can assume it will go for roughly the same as the Mi 6X.
That means it could be a tad more expensive than its predecessor, as the entry-level Mi 6X with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage launched with a price tag of 1,600 yuan in China (~$250). The 6GB and 64GB model went for 1,800 yuan (~$280), while the high-end 6GB and 128GB variant was priced at 2,000 yuan (~$310).
