Xiaomi Mi A2 (Mi 6X) - User Reviews

  • I don't have problem with that.

  • There are touch issues when typing on keyboard it doesn't register sometimes

  • What the f.... Where is android 10 for this phone? Android one is why i bought this phone, but MI UI seems better in terms of update! I just have update, but it's only security update for android 9 :(

  • As a Teenage Photographer at the age of 13 i use my phone (iPhone 5) to take natural photos. Xiaomi’s camera would be great for taking stunning natural photos! This is a phone i would get.

  • For this device the October update is never came to the device what is mi company is doing about this update delaying updates for a longer period... Then never bring camera updates... Other brands under Android one has already got Android 10... It still and Android 9.. Not stratified what they doing a hell of long delay ..

  • Can anyone help me, my headphones doesn't work eventhough I am sure that the jack is working. The small icon pops up at the screen that the earphones are plugged in but there is no sound. Does anyone have the same problem? :/

  • I never buy used phones but thanks for suggestion.

  • Hell no!, I got the Nokia 7 plus for $150 here in Saudi arabia. Check other reviews of other xiaomi devices. I could redmi the pocophone or if you like stock android the nokia 8.1

  • Get another 100 and you could buy used Google pixel 3 XL. Xiaomi is terrible in updates

  • Mi A2 just got a discount and it is less than 200 dollars. Is it good deal?

  • Are you serious right now or you just really don't know that mi a2 is also Android one phone?

  • Nokia phones got the Android 10 because those are Android 1 phones with stock Android

  • But it have FM radio.

  • Avoid. Stops charging after some security patches, alot are suffering with this problem.

  • Xiaomi, let new OS update come with FM Radio, please

  • Fm radio is hardware thing not software

  • Xiaomi, let new OS update come with FM Radio, please

  • Come on man! Even Nokia got android 10! Xiaomi, what are you waiting for???

  • Thanks. I'm trying to sell my current Motorola phone to buy Mi A2.

  • I've had one for about a year now. I think it's still worth it. It's a solid phone with no real gremlins.

  • Thanks. I don't need NFC or Lineage OS. Battery will be okay maybe.

  • I'm also looking at this at the moment (2019-10), even though it's from 2018. Beats my daily driver (Nexus 6) in every critical area. Pros: Great reviews. No notch (unfortunate trend). Powerful (processors). Android One (probably Android 10 support in 2020). Price under 200 USD (closer to 150, unbeatable). Many, many more (see and compare specs). Cons: Battery small (not 4000+ mah). No NFC. No official Lineage OS support yet (unofficial available).

  • Is it worth to buy now in October 2019? What about performance?

  • Thanks. Also is it normal red or pink ish red?

  • Battery life is good (avg. a day). There are some little lags on some apps but worth for its price.

  • Is it worth to buy Mi A2 in 2019? As red one looks cool. How about performance and battery life? Also what about camera and screen?

  • Can any body tell me how the dwel camera work?I don't know English.

  • Sure sir You will receive Q Soon

  • I have both the MiA1 and MiA2.. I found the MiA2 has very poor wifi reception compared to the MiA1.. it is so frustrating to use!! Seems like each newer Android One from Xiaomi has poorer quality although the hardware is better..

  • Hello friends Update Android 10 When will this release for this mobile phone?

  • I could not find out a single...can you give a link

  • Internet is full of those tutorials. Maybe you should try and search there? :)

  • Can anyone tell me how to install custom ROM in mi A2? Can anybody tell me how to install Google camera

  • Sure, whatever you like, but that still doesn't change the fact that this is a mediocre looking phone. The fact that I've held someone's Mi A2 in real life for the first time and was disgusted by it says a lot. Well, it was pretty dirty so I guess that was partially the reason.

  • This is the good phone. Compare to mate 20. The only disadvantage is the battery is only 3000. But other features and user experience.. its excelent and so well

  • Maybe you just got the broken phone? Because there are many people who have this phone and don't experience that problem. Before judging something check some info first ;)

  • Recently got issue with this phone. All hapened in recent week: 1) phone lock screen pattern dissapeared. Like i was able to unlock screen by swipe 2) someone is calling and i cant swipe to answer the call 3)when i unlock screen there is only black screen and phone doesnt react to my actions Also camera sometimes fail to activate with double tap on power button

  • I had a Huawai mate p30 which got wet and died, it was a great phone, I then got a MiA2 .Have to say this is better than the huawai as the android one system comlplimentmany more app than the huawai. I would never dream of paying £900 for an i phone when the guys in the same city knock these out for £120, it a brill phone. It a known fact that apple are very worried about these phone which are every bit as good, truth is apple have been rewarding their loyal customer by ripping them off.

  • That's the point. There are so many phones of which you could choose from. So don't like it - don't buy it. Simple as that. Personally I like this phone and that's why I have it

  • Quite possibly the most unremarkable phone from Xiaomi. Saw someone using it in real life and it looked so cheap (not in a good way).

  • I mean compared to the newest iPhones, even I, someone who hates apple, would disagree

  • Xiaomi is an excellent phone. Delivers quick response, fast download and reacts in perfect manner. Absolutely better than Apple Iphone.

  • Nope, Google sets the rules, but it's actually Xiaomi that delivers the updates.

  • But it is a Quick Charge 3 certified charger. 😒

  • when network is poor Phone heat up easily and battery drains faster because network radio run at maximum power to pick enough network. so definitely phone will heat up which will also cause quick battery drain consider getting a sim with better network or try Wi-Fi

  • It support both Qualcomm 3 &,4. qualcommm 4.0 ,is avaliable as sonic charge on xiomi India website

  • Good phone but not made for high graphic games like pubg. After 15 minutes of playing it already with 50-55° and lag issues but all other games run nice and smooth

  • I don't think mi a2 is that good because there are lot of bugs like after deleting the particular contact, it again gets synced even after deleting from google contacts... Lot of contacts are been duplicated for around 4-5 times and after deleting also it din't help much. While taking screenshot also it gets sounded even after keeping phone on silent mode. So its my personal opinion that its not a good phone. Battery backup is also not that worth.

  • Probably you are in a bad network. Bad network connection also responsible for lag in pubg.

  • I don't think it's gonna be that soon. Sometime between december-january because you know, it's still xiaomi

  • Under the Android One programme, the OS of a phone is directly supplied by Google itself. As per the history of Android Ones, Google promises Android updates up to 2 years from the release date. Something similar will happen with Mi A2 also, it comes with Android Oreo and has already received updates for Android 9 Pie and will soon receive Android Q also, once the stable and official release is done.

  • Dude relax. Yes there is going to be android 10 (Q) for this phone. It is under the program Android One so it gets at least 2 years of updates. I suggest you do some readings before commenting

  • Is there going to be an Android Q update for the Mi A2? Does anyone has any idea or news about that? Please respond to me ASAP!

  • Depends on what you want. Do you like MIUI? For me android one is the best choice. But the 4000mah battery, SD and jack is a plus for the note 5. Except the battery on the mi A2 I am satisfied.

  • Mi A2.

  • which one is much better. note 5 ai or mi A2?

  • Xiaomi Mi A2 got bootloop after official update and Xiaomi customer service is non existing. Never buy nothing from Xiaomi. They customer service is disaster.

  • Love this phone. Super fast and responsive. Excellent screen. Authentic Android experience. On pair with others that double (or more) its price.

  • I used HHT mode too and i think it's useless feature. I don't see any diference in pictures i've been taken.

  • No.

  • Does it has face unlock..??

  • can anyone tell me what the HHT camera setting does? I played last night with this setting with no success. I took the same photo 2 times, one with the HHT and one with normal mode but I see no difference. Same photo, same size, same 12 mpx. I've tried 4 different low light scenarios.

  • that is not true...pubg runs well, and I play everyday... stop posting false informations

  • Pubg works fine. Don't believe him

  • Pubg not work perfect, even on low graphics it lags too much

  • Sd 710 too support fortnite

  • Pubg works perfect, no lag or drop fps even on max settings. Fortnite is not supported, only snapdragon 820+ supports fortnite

  • Hello! How well does this phone handle PUBG? What about Fortnite?

  • Agreed 100%. People are mostly biased

  • Samsung Galaxy S9 also has a 3000mAh battery and didn't see anybody complaining about it even for a $700 phone. Mi A2 and S9 were both released in 2018.

  • Hi guys pls help. Is updating the phone will get brick? Im afraid updating the software

  • There are reviews after months of usage from users. Just so u know ;) or as i said u could just scroll down the comments

  • i want to check users experience not the review

  • Maybe you should scroll down the comments? Or check video reviews in youtube?

  • Dude, why u so lazy scrolling down the comments? Everything is written there. Or why couldn't u just watch reviews on youtube? Even some 2nd grade students know these things jeez

  • I only use WhatsApp, Twitter, e-books and Instagram mostly and sometimes YouTube, Spotify, Netflix in my Mi A2... So I roughly get 6 hours and 30 mins to 8 hours depending upon usage at adaptive brightness on.

  • How much screen on time are you getting ? Thanks

  • guys i need help i want to buy this phone, i mean i think about it..should i or not what about speed, cameras, gaming, and BATERY does batery drains fast or slow how long with normal use it can "handle".. thank you :D

  • 1. It takes 1 hour and 10 min in switch off mode or 1 hour and 30 min in switch on mode. 2. No lags

  • It's Android one and you not get updated?

  • 1.How much time battery takes to charge from 0 to 100 using QC 3.0/fast charger? 2. Any lags after software updates as I had read initially there were some issues

  • Who paid you to say such nonsense? This phone is very good for its price, one of the best midrangers from 2018, all its specs are ok. P.S: Cameras are good, above average.

  • I face lot off problems and bad experience with MI A2 phone 1. The phone will operate event its in lock 2. The ear phone jack is very pathetic and we cant buy it even in the stores 3. No radio in the phone 4. No software updates to the phone 5. i paid 1200 rupees to the phone repair even its in warranty

  • Ha! Worried?

  • Don't buy this smartphone 1. Bad Camera 2. Unresponsive touchscreen 3. Performance issue 4. Very low sound output both from speaker and earphones 5. Screen brightness is not good 6. Hangs a lot etc...

  • If a call comes in, it doesn't show. I can't accept or reject it. I press power once, it cuts the call, then login & check in missed call, then call the number. I have disable all notification. What do I do. Please assist.

  • Go to settings, Search USB tethering. That's how I did it.

  • June update fixed this issue for me...

  • Since Quick Charger 4 is no where available in India, so I want to ask that Indian Mi A2 model will support Quick Charge 3 or not???? I mean should I buy Quick Charger 3 or should I continue with Stock Charger???

  • Anyone using MI A2...? Please check if your phone can flashing light the front flash if not use "BEAUTY" mode? Because my device can't flash if "BEAUTY" mode off. But normal in auto front flash. If "BEAUTY" mode is on from any scale ( 1-5 ) front flash is normal, in "ON" or "AUTO" mode.. Btw my region is in Indonesia, any suggestion fro me to fix this??

  • Well, told you people. One salty customer less. I love it! Keep it that way

  • not salty, just that i'm not stupid to be fooled by phone company like your kind, that claimed 3.5 jack is too old for TeH FuTuRE

  • not really an issue if you have bluetooth headphones / earphones... also usb type-c earphones are cheap nowadays..

  • One salty consumer less. That's great

  • too bad this doesn't have 3.5mm jack, well,... no buy from me then

  • Crazy good phone for $160... the only downside is the battery but nobody can really complain for the price... if you want bigger battery and qc4.0, get the redmi note 7 only costs 30 bucks more but you have to put up with miui, the notch and glass back (a2 has metal unibody)

  • 100% agreed, battery sucks. But I do think that you playing game or run big apps during charging which causing overheat. As additional, I don't think camera is good enough, it just average. Zoom in are totally useless.

  • Which one is the best custom rom for mi a2

  • Try to enable it from developer options...

  • Hi is there anyone facing a problem with hdmi cable? Because i already connected to a tv and it doesnt show or support whatsoever...please help me...

  • Just received june security patch update. No lags or bugs. Just as good as it has always been.

  • How is the Xiaomi Mi A2 performing after the Android 9.0(Pie) update?

  • hi. recently 'USB tethering' is disable in my phone(mi 6x). how can I do enable this option?thanks

  • This what I chose because Redmi Note 7 is out of stock here.

  • After updated to Android pie, my phone suddenly have pop up ads. My wifi and cellular reception also become weaker. Anyone facing same kind of issues? What can I do to fix them. Anyone please enlighten me

  • Let it idle in Fastboot (robot picture) then do a Soft Reset.

  • Bought this as replacement phone for my wife... then realized, I made a mistake. Phone has no audio jack... which is a no-go for my wife. She trashes/looses earphones left and right. And using a tiny adapter or buy a more expensive USB-C headphonee is absolutley no option because she will loose/trash those again (I have a huge pile of 2€/$ earphones ;-) )... ... So I gave her my Nokia 5.1 plus (also Android One device). Then I cloned that phone to the Xiaomi... But it looked like configuring, downloading and updating to Pie at the same time was a bit much. After the first May security update, phone aborted the update... on second try, update went through but phone could not boot up again. Fixed that with a simple turn on/off... Then the final update sent the phone into a turn off/on loop which finally put the phone in FastBoot repair mode with no options to choose... I was almost sure I bricked it via simple update... But I could recover it again via a manual Soft Reset. ... Now the phone works pretty well and is almost killer for that price (bought the global version 64GB for 120 €).

  • Did somebody ask about your opinion? I think i missed something

  • i think i have a similar probleme that the keyboard start to type random letters, and also if you are for example in home screen it will start to open random apps and start to open and touch like someone is hacking your phone.

  • Aaaaand....no more timely security patches. Not even one year since the phone was released. Anyony already switched to an alternative ROM that can be recommended?

  • Have used the A2 global version for six months now and i am loving it. Good camera, processor and the battery life isnt that bad at all for a 3000mah capacity. Stable Android Pie update within the second month of use and consistent security updates. No problems encountered so far. If i am to compare my A2 with a budget price tag to my previous phones(Samsung s8+ and Iphone 7 plus), the A2 still does a fairly good job based on same functions i used the other phones for(social media, gaming, videos, YouTube, Internet surfing, trading and more...). I only look towards more great products from Xiaomi.

  • After march security update, phones goes in bootloop. Phone don't wont to boot android. Official update, no root on phone, no unlock bootloader. oem unlock i don't do, in developer settings, only one solution is test point to flash rom direct to phone motherboard. Why Xiaomi, why Google? 4GB/64GB global phone.

  • how to differentiate or find which phone has which emmac

  • Be careful with micron eMMC. My Mi A2's write speed is slow and causes freeze when clearing cache/copying big file. If you willing to buy Mi A2, make sure you got Hynix or Samsung eMMC instead of micron.

  • I didnt find any heating issue, sometimes it gets hot, but not that much like u say, I agree bigger battery would make the phone better

  • Then go for pixel you will be shameless.

  • LOL. Everything is good but battery sucks. And coming to heating you will taste the heat when you charge your mobile and it becomes like an iron box. Rest all are good as you mentioned except the battery.

  • If you want big battery go for Moto One Power or if you want good cam and better processor go for MI A2 both are Android one devices.

  • If you want to go for android one device there are two options apart from Nokia (6.1+), Moto one power and MI A2. If you want bigger battery go for Moto one power and if you want good cam and bit better performance go to MI A2.

  • I am using this for the past 45 days... I think I should share the pros and cons of the phone. I am really satisfied with the phone. First the camera performance is really really good at this price, if you prefer camera quality, then it's a better choice. Did not face any major lag, currently on the android pie. Most of the time I am at home and connected to wifi, and get 9 to 10 hour SOT with low brightness... If play games (pubg :p) continuously then the SOT is around 3 hours... and while outside and using 4G, I get around 5 to 6 hours of SOT... I think the battery performance is really good considering the capacity. I didn't find any heating issue, checked many times, the phone gets a bit warm sometimes, I can assure you it is really negligible, you won't notice... Get the each month security update, and phone performance is also good. The screen is a little bit dimmer (in the direct sunlight, but you can see clearly). The compromise is the headphone jack, there is a dongle included in the box, the sound output is good too, really good... I had to choose between redmi note 7, redmi note 7 pro, and some others. Chose this one because of the android one feature... If you like stock android at low budget then this is a great device.

  • Via Type-C to 3.5 mm jack dongle that is included in the box with the smartphone. Or as you mentioned Bluetooth for wireless headphones/earphones.

  • hi, i bought a nokia 7 plus for six months ago, it has been so shattered that it can no longer be used, it costs as much as a new mobile phone and gets fixed. So I wonder what is smartest to buy. I plan on xiaomi mi a2, but i dont now. which mobile phone should I buy that is not too expensive or should I fix it now

  • I didn't have such issue, mine works just great.

  • how do you connect earphones here? bluetooth? or same in charging slot?

  • Do you guys experience some sort of keyboard lag or keyboard touch latency? I have been experiencing this problem since I bought it almost 6 months ago, i thought it would be fixed with future updates but stayed the same. Any solution?

  • Android Q is coming in 3 months but we'll get it by december (the best). Such shame

  • I use this phone for 4 months and i would say it is amazing smartphone charge fast super camera etc and good price 😄

  • on mi 6x you can install playstore and all google aps.A have 6x

  • I got my May 5 Pie Update. Hoping for some improvements.

  • Mi A2 is a nice decent camera phone. The camera performance is excellent even on it's low price you can compare it to the leading flagship and expensive phones out there.

  • Yeah you're right it made not any sense. This mi a2 has small battery capacity.

  • I get headache if I watch long time in this display.

  • Your comment makes no sense from the start to the end lol.

  • My 2 Months old MI A2 getting problem. Battery backup worst. Hanging problem. Automatic shut-off. Heating Problem.

  • MI A2 is the worst phone. Service centre is making fool and behaviour with the customer is not good MI I suggest u please work on it otherwise it graph will go down

  • i just wanna ask which device is better for gaming.. either Xiaomi Mi A2 or Huawei Nova 3i?

  • Hi everyone this mobile's battery is so bad it take about 7%of charge per hour on 4g when my screen is off is it my problem or its public ?

  • If you like more battery life you can go to Samsung Galaxy A30 if you want better camera even in low light you can go with Xiaomi Mi A2 if you want better display you can go with Xiaomi Mi 8 lite or Redmi Note 7

  • If you're concerned with screen & battery the best is a30 but low performance and many bugs so go for note 7 it's balanced, mi8 lite is more about selfie with lower battery and a2 is more about performance and camera with worst battery and stock Android

  • Samsung a30 , Mi A2 ( Mi 6x ) , Redmi Note 7 Or Mi 8 Lite Which one is better ? Gonna buy tomorrow . ( Battery , Camera , Heating Issues , Bugs )

  • This Phone supports TWRP, official costum roms like Resurection Remix, Havoc OS and Pixel experience. Great to have right now, with G-cam installed. I dont know if community support is strong with other Android one Devices.

  • For camara, please go for mia2., For morden versionthan please go note 7, for better build quality both good, for battery performance, note 7 have higher hand

  • Dont update!!! The latest update which is good is November one. You can update to last Oreo version which is November, but no more that. And this device works perfect with it. Oreo is still good.

  • guys im just curious i just baught this device second hand i heared that this device has a bootloop probleme should i update i to april security patch or nah thanks

  • Mi a2 has the fastest security update because of Android One stock android. Note 7 has its MIUI has many features compared to mi a2. Camera performance I choose mi a2 because of its low light camera. Over all mi a2 is a good smartphone. It is the best but not the best of all smartphones out there.

  • Tnx

  • As far as battery life is concerned the mi a2 is only average in terms of battery life I observed. It's battery storage is only 3000 mah which is very decent to a good smart phone like mi a2. However the Android One April pie update enhanced the adaptive battery on its features which assists the battery to increase its life. It's not possible about it last only 4 hours the battery life while the screen is open because the adaptive battery features will do the job to minimize the screen and app usage.

  • MI A2 or Redmi note 7?

  • I Think so my problem is hardware. Whee I can find a camera module.

  • Thanks, but I heard that the screen on is only 4 hours. Is this true?

  • My video quality in my mi a2 is working fine even I updated it in Pie this April. No changes of video quality as I used the 4k, full HD resolution videos and even Slowmo videos. It works pretty well. Audio perception is perfectly working also. In terms of taking photos it works perfectly as well. You can change the lens on manual mode from regular lens which is the 12MP camera to low light lens which is the 20MP camera. You must check if your video setting is not properly set maybe it cause the problem or maybe the camera itself is the problem. Try to observe it more and try to default the video and camera settings to fix the problem.

  • Hi the only way, i can use the back camera when i take a picture is in low light mode (Manual). If i use the back camera for videos or any social app i get blur photos. anybody have this problem. I try to cantact Xiaomi but i didn´t recieved any answer back.

  • As far as the camera performance is concerned the mi a2 is far better because of it's 20MP low light camera using pixel binning technology and it's 12MP primary camera. The realme 2 pro with its 16MP primary lens and it's 2MP sensor is only average in low light performance. The selfie camera also is much better than realme 2 pro again with the same 20MP low light camera with led flash. Regarding of video quality both has 4k videos and slow motion videos but mi a2 had a gyro EIS on the full HD resolution but the realme 2 pro has none of it. In terms of software the mi a2 is the authentic Android One holder which in terms of security updates is much updated under Google than any other software. It is much better than realme 2 pro in terms of fastest up to date software. Other features lacks the mi a2 is the battery life capacity which is only 3000 mah and the realme 2 pro battery life capacity is 3500 mah which is much larger battery. Mi a2 has no 3.5mm head jack, no microsd slot and no FM radio unlike the realme 2 pro has. Mi a2 has a infrared and NFC but realme 2 pro has none. Same speed performance because both has a sdm660 processor. Regarding of body built quality mi a2 body is made of finished aluminum back and corning gorilla 5 glass on the front. Realme 2 pro body is made of polycarbonate plastic at the back and corning gorilla 3 glass on the front. The mi a2 has a type c connector slot and supported with a quick charge 4 while the realme 2 pro still using micro USB connector. And the rest mi a2 is still ahead in overall performance than realme 2 pro as you can compared it in it's overall features especially on camera.

  • Xiaomi mi a2 is camera is much more superior than the realme 2 pro but lacks of battery capacity. Mi a2 has no 3.5mm phone jack and has no microsd slot. And also has no FM radio like the realme 2 pro has. Regarding of software the mi a2 has a better software because of Android One which is the most updated in terms of security updates. Both has the same SDM660 processor. Mi a2 has Type C connector while realme 2 pro still using the micro USB connector. Overall performance I still go with Mi a2 because of its highly secured software, good design made of aluminum compared to realme 2 pro made only of polycarbonate plastic and its camera performance both image and video quality.

  • Please, this phone or realme 2 pro 4gb version? Which is better, battery backup, gps, overall performance

  • When you're using the 12MP primary lens the 20MP secondary lens acts as a sensor that's why the effect of that camera. It is normal of course on its camera. In the camera settings just open the low light options always to avoid shadows in the background even when you are using the primary lens.

  • Hi I have problem with my camera on Xiaomi MI A2, focusing when I want take a photo after pie updated. The only way I can take photo with no blur is in manual mode low light. Have a great day

  • No, you can't record calls with this phone, you will need 3rd party app.

  • If battery was 4000 mah ... It was very good ...But .. Excusme , by this device can record calls ? ?

  • thank u Xiaomi, very cool

  • Thanks, considering to buy this or upcoming A3.

  • I guess no and I think mi a2 had no features on recording video calls. I hope in the upcoming updates it would have this video call recording.

  • I got my april update in mi a2 and I found some improvements like camera, battery, WiFi/data and audio quality. Finger scanner got faster after the update.

  • Hi I wanna update to pie is November update good or it has bug any anybody updated please answer

  • Looking for feedback on updates. Are updated from Google on time? Also, are there updates to fix minor niggles from Xiaomi/Google? Thanks

  • Excusme , by this device can record calls ?

  • The Mi A2 are coping well in this April pie update. When I'm done in my mi a2 I didn't experienced any issues like WiFi and data connectivity, hotspot both band working well. Camera has been enhanced. 4k and slow motion video quality seems work well. But the groupie selfie removed and good integration with google lens. Adaptive battery also has been enhanced. File storage seems very accurate. Audio quality and speaker loudness also improved. GPS works well without problem. Quick battery charging also improved. I hope in the next security update have much more improvement in this phone. But this latest update was much more impressive to me.

  • Hello, my Mi A2 seems to have a strange effect when focusing on the primary lens. I would just like to know if this is normal or not. It seems when on Manual Mode the low light lens the focus is even across the image but the primary lens it seems to wash from one side to the other.

  • I had my April pie update and I haven't facing any problem. All is working such as WiFi and hotspot connectivity were working fine both bands are working in front camera the group selfie has been removed. File manager and storage system works well and accurate. Slow motion video were also excellent and great. Data connectivity and GPS also works great. Audio in loudspeaker improves to much. The adaptive battery in April pie update improved much more but it affects the downloading of apps in google play store if you turn it on. My advice is to turn it on while you downloading apps on google play. The google lens had been added on camera features as well. This is my experience in my mia2 April pie update. In the battery charging I had no experience about heating. It works all fine as well. While I charging I off the device and it takes only less than one and a half hour until fully charge.

  • I have Mi A2 for about 140 USD from Tokopedia. I have been using it for a month. And i can say it's worth for money, my device doesn't have a problem, battery life is good even it's only 3000mAh, gaming and multitasking is good for it's price, cameras are good too. I'm currently on Havoc OS 2.4 because i don't like Android One. For the ROM itself, good. No noticeable problem.

  • I discovered something.If u're registering the fingerprints and u register 2 fingers in the same fingerprint registration process it actually makes it possibly to unlock the phone with both fingers even though they were originally registerd in the same fingerprint procces.Hope u get it :o

  • Hi guys,i got mi a2 and the charge stoped working,yesterday phone was 2% it worked fine until its fully drained and charging just not works,tried many different chargers and wires,bowerbank not charging at all,anyone of you guys had same issuess?

  • If you prefer a sleak aluminium unibody design with 18:9 aspect ratio, Android One with unlockable bootloader out of the box and don't mind giving up battery capacity, sd-card expansion and headphone jack for it, it is a no-brainer that the A2 is better. Otherwise the Mi 8 lite is the one to go for.

  • it has gorilla glass 5 , i don't know why the gsmarena had dropped that ??

  • HI, recently bought Mi A2 everything is good as told but its camera produces yellowish image in normal mode without filters like skyblue. Is it because problem with settings, my device or this model has this particularly??

  • U can enable developer mode and there find a line "automatic system update" or sm like that...turn it off

  • Ok Mr. Jovan. Thank you!

  • It says that is is from Google because its a Google stock os aka Android one, but Xiaomi is responsible for all the updates and so on.. Do some research.

  • When I Update System it says that the update is straith from Google not from Xiaomi. It's Not MIUI Interface.

  • Group selfie is missing in camera after April update and phone is still heating too much it reaches upto 45'(degree) in my phone....

  • Update is from Xiaomi, not from Google

  • After 05 April 2019 Security Update i'm facing some issue with configuration. Looks like I get stuck with a notification that i can't delete it and looks like it doesn't recognise wi-fi networks for finishing Android configuration. Bad update from Google ! I'm really disspointed ! :(

  • Camera quality had decreased.

  • Bought this device a few days ago, I think this a great device. Pros: The greatest and latest software from Google, very good camera, great performance and it never heats up, great battery life(6 hours of SoT on average for me, I use mobile data constantly so it may vary depending on your use) Cons: No headphone jack(tbh I don't really mind the dongle) and it doesn't come with a quick charger out of the box.

  • No separate Audio Jack in A2. They have given small usb that has one end which can be used for audio jack. And that area is used for charging also. That mean charging and using of wire earphones can not be used togather. This is the biggest drawback of A2.

  • i bought the device and got the pie update and updated it and it was in november 5 security after that i got a update of 1097mb march security i updated it and the phone stuck in android one logo...i gave it to the service center they repaired and now i m in november 5 security with pie but again there is a same uipdate of 1097mb march update....so what can i do???should i wait for april update???because 1097mb update bricked the phone once so any idea plzz??????????help guys

  • Xiaomi mi A2 it is very good

  • On which rom, 9.0 or 8.1.0? I dont havea single problem on 8.1.0, but there is some bugs on 9.0, thats why im asking

  • There is majore issue of 4G network in this phone.

  • Just buy MI Quick charge 3.0 adapter in MI Website. Then you will never use standard 10W charger. Go for Quick charge 3.0.

  • How to use quick charge 3.0 on mi a2? Is it recommended to use quick charge or stay using original charger?

  • 5

  • Thank you so much!

  • Gorilla glass?

  • Settings->System->About phone->Click 8 times on Build number until you turn on Developer option. Then go back, go in Developer option, scroll down a little and you will see auto update enable, uncheck that

  • hello ,which one is better Xiaomi Mi A2 4/64 or Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite 4/64?

  • i cant find how to stop auto updating the OS

  • Just remove your camera glass protector

  • When i took a picture with flash, the picture taken will be blue look picture. Its like im taking picture with blue filter. Why?

  • They are just trolling, just go to India forum and you will see, they insult devs etc... They only spaming enable camera2 api etc

  • Phone has 2 cameras, one 12mpx and 2nd 20mpx, probably 2nd camera took that photo

  • My Mi A2 take portrait picture with 12mp camera, but picture information show me it taken with 20mp camera. Is this Xiaomi's new feature or my phone's issue?

  • It never was software related , place of sensor is not right, but after some time you get used to it , the way how you hold phone while talking

  • Well, it's definitely obvious that either almost all asian countries receive very bad updates or people are just trolling. Because in Europe this phone is very smooth to work on. No problems at all. Cheers

  • I think you doesn't update Oreo is safe

  • Well obviously we dont live in the same world then and dont have same devices. Read forum then talk, youll see people complaining about all february bugs+march one with 4g

  • what abt battery and camera

  • that's half of the truth.. I received first march update, only probvem is 4g network is not been on the list of preferred network type. not having any problems like you says.. btw, today xiaomi launch march security patch

  • Thanks

  • Its removed by Xiaomi, was cousing bootloops and had so many bugs, thats why.

  • Dont update to Pie!!! Its full of bugs mate, stay on 8.1 if you want fully funcional device.

  • Hello friends bought Mi A2 today. The phone is running smooth as butter. My phone is on Oreo 8.1 and September security patch. Got the Pie update on 1st boot should I update the phone to Pie. Is there any bugs on Pie?

  • that got resolved log time ago, the memory (storage) is unusably slow on 80% of the models, avoid at any cost

  • Please what is the situation about the proximity sensors when phone calls are ongoing because as at last year, I read that some people are battling with that issue Has the proximity sensors issue been fixed with software updates?

  • Me too (from Azerbaijan)

  • I haven't got the march update yet. I live in bangladesh. any idea, why?

  • no, about 6h sot

  • Does battery drain fast after March update?

  • Fix wifi and battery drain fast with March update

  • When i play pubg i face heating issue a lot

  • No

  • Does 6x works with all features in latín América?

  • Mi A2 better than Nokia Phones Because you will get fr eat camera and selfie.

  • no

  • Is anyone have Heating issue

  • Naturally the Mi A2 is superior in almost all aspects. Software is clean, updates are regular and the hardware is flagship grade. Just make sure you get the Global version, especially if you are located in NA or EU, so you'll have Google PlayStore and all the bands you'd need to connect to your provider. Also remember this phone supports face unlock, OTG, 4K video, it has Image Stabilization, Quick Charge and the battery is 3010 Mah. I have the "Nova launcher on mine which is very light and doesn't create any drag or bottleneck effects. The f/1.7 aperture in the camera makes it an excellent low light shooter, so yes, This phone is a no brainer for the price!

  • From a hardware perspective Mi A2 is good but from the software perspective, Nokia 6.1 plus is great. Mi A2 is bad in software optimization but they good in their own Miui. In Android one device hardware does not matter, it's all about software optimization. Because every month, security updates play a big role in phone performance. Here is you need good software optimization. I have been using both brands so I know. Nokia 6.1 plus has less battery but good optimization makes it a good backup for moderate users.

  • Go for Android One!!!!!

  • Nokia 6.1

  • If youre located in China then 6x but if in Europe then 6x doesnt make sanse to have it since google store etc is really hard to get because that 6x is made for China, and China censored Google apps etc. For Europe just go with mi a2, google play store etc works as it should.

  • Would you guys recommend a2 or 6x , i know the difference is just the android one but i wanna know which is more versatile. Ive been using iphone for 4 years,i decided to buy xiaomi for a change,but im curious about pros and cons between this two models. Thanks

  • Yeah everything is true, i hope march update will fix most of the things which doesnt work. Thats why i stayed on oreo, didnt update to pie because i read so many negative comments

  • Is march update released? I saw some 2 new videos with march update, yet i still dont have update

  • Are you sure you know about phones?

  • Can someone say experience with updates of android. After first update to android pie, stopped working call recording. It is blocked directly in android. And Im scared what is goonna happend. after second. I have read meny coments on internet, there is problem with overheating, display, lags, fron camera is after update like 5mp etc. Noone has bad experience???

  • 6.1 plus is more better than mi a2(Mi 6x) build qulity is superb in nokia 6.1 plus.and camera 16+5,processor snap dragon 630.2280×1080 pixel resolution.Superb display.I recomment#NOKIA 6.1 PLUS

  • This Mi is great

  • Mi a2 is a lot better. Better camera, processor and graphics. And battery is the same, 3000mah, so Mi a2 is better choice because of newer hardware.

  • Which is better? mi a2 or nokia 6.1 plus?

  • which is better? mi a2 or nokia 6.1 plus?

  • No, only if wifi or mobile data was slow to load stuff into the browser, The phone itself is fast! Especially after the updates

  • Thanks. My friend's P20 Lite is slow like hell even with 4GB ram. I want to upgrade my Moto G4 Play. Will wait for Moto G7 Plus or buy any Nokia with decent specs and android one.

  • Avoid Huawei,among many phone i also had P20(Kirin 970 had it at time it was strongest Huawei chip,last summer) - its very laggy,it is fast phone(there arent slow flagships anymore)- so again- it is fast but its so laggy i sold it after 4 mounths.now even low budget Xiaomi redmi note 4x that i have is more fluid than P20,so as usual- its not important whats on paper(specification) but the software- hardware optimisation is most important for the performance(the same words deducated to Huawei are related to laggy Samsung,i had most brands,flagships most of the time,Sony,Htc,Samsung,Huawei,midrangers from Lg,Xiaomi,i have OnePlus 6,had Alcatel)

  • Just stay away from Huawei and Honor. The Kirin SoCs are not as impressive as they say. The kirin 710 is basically equivalent to snapdragon 660. Sadly most Honor devices don't have custom roms and the skin on them is pretty heavy. Bootloaders also aren't unlockable anymore.

  • No. I dont have that phone

  • Been with this phone for 3 months now and it is outstanding for the price no lags at all, for a budget smartphone it does everything perfectly.

  • yes, I faced the same problem...btw i just bought the mi a2 yesterday.and yeah, software is up to date.

  • Did anyone experience Mi A2 will lag and freeze a while when switching app. When you close an app, the phone will irresponsive for split second and delay. Even though for a split second, I feel annoyed by it. Anyone experienced that?

  • Mi a2 good phon buy the phon...,

  • Thank you. What about Honor 8X? Is it any better?

  • 660 isn't that much faster than 636 really, Moto G7 Plus is fine ONLY if you can find it cheaper than Mi A2.

  • Don't know if the mi a2 got it, but my a1 got offline-radio a few months ago.

  • Does online radio work? When will it get offline radio? If it does, then the phone will be complete.

  • Is Snapdragon 660 really faster than Snapdragon 636? Is it worth to wait for Motorola G7 Plus with Snapdragon 636 or just get Mi A2? I'm not gamer. Reply fast. Thanks.

  • just suggestion. open all will say. sorry.

  • Just a tip: you can compare mobile phones on thia web site (press compare) and you don't have to post it here everytime asking which phone is better ;)

  • help me to take vivo v11i or mi a2? and why ?

  • Wait for note 7

  • Download google camera apk for Nokia 7 plus , and you see amazing photos.

  • Hello, i would like to ask if anyone could answer my question. Just now i took photo in a dark room by using flash. after that i find out the image bluish ? but , by using torch .. the image is normal. can anyone give the answer? that might worried me.

  • Please, can anybody help me. I'm thinking to buy Xiaomi mi a2 or honor 10 lite. Can't decide. Which one is better?

  • Today I received February security patch and finally xiaomi fix low quality audio output through usb-c port, now sound are great.. try factory reset your phone

  • After owning a Honor 8 for over 2 years, I had a few basic criteria before swapping handsets. My next phone has to be fast, efficent, thin, has to have a great camera, Gorilla glass, continuous updates, Infra red blaster and no notch. Plus the display no larger than 6 inch. The A2 was the best deal that matched my requirements. Recommended

  • u got a security patch with the android pie

  • I have been using Mi A2 since last 6 months, got regular security patches till December 2018 and also got update of Android 9 Pie. But since January there is no security patch has come. Can you please help me with this ?

  • Just wait for the xiaomi mi a3

  • is it still good to buy xiaomi mi a2 in 2019 or should i wait for mi note 7?

  • Mi a2 6Gb/128gb Or Samsung a8 star 4gb/64gb Both phones cost the same in my country I don't know which one to get

  • Get the mi a2 lite 4gb 64gb

  • Just keep up the good works! go strong and keep going! Thanks for amazing wallpapers.

  • Well, if you can get it at 150Eur then that is a really good bargain, that will more than justify the device's trade-offs/shortcomings. Even at 250Eur (the price I paid at launch) I was quite happy with it, until I had to experience Xiaomi's (lack) of customer service, botched updates that cause issues but Xiaomi never officially acknowledged any issue (just silently removed the updates, leaving users stranded with any issue), plus annoyances such as only average in-call audio quality and a luminosity sensor that only just started to work decently (with the latest update). TL;DR set your expectations according to the price, low. You'll be amazed by this phone if you do so.

  • Except that it's not Google itself but rather Xiaomi that releases those patches on behalf of Google. The result is that, while we are in February 2019, the security patch level is still December 2018 -- Xiaomi botches up their releases with half-backed and untested ROMs, the last one bricking phones (bootloop). If your main goal is to get a good "Google supported" phone, this one ain't it, sadly.

  • If you want software updates and security patches, go for Mi A2. You got guaranteed updates and patches straight from Google themselves.

  • No complaints for Xiaomi Mi A2..

  • Go for Honor 8x. Good Camera Excellent Build Quality and good Screen. A very nice solid device.

  • I have mi a2 it is good phone 😁

  • I will recommend you to go for Mi A2 6GB RAM/128GB ROM variant

  • Hi everyone, I am hesitating between these 3 phones : Huawei Nova 3i - 6.3" - 128Go - 4Go Honor 8x 6.5" (4Go, 128GO) Xiaomi Mi A2 - 5.99" - 128Go - 6Go - Android One The 3 have basically the same price in my country, which one would you recommand?

  • Go for Mi A2.

  • Yes

  • Because this is android one, I think it is the best € 150 phone you can buy in Europe. The mid range segment in Europe (in my case Germany) is split between the big manufacturers like Samsung and Huawei, and then also Motorola. The Huawei/Samsung phones have a heavy skin, which might not be noticeable on a much more powerful € 800 phone, but definitely is on a phone for around € 200, which I again describe as mid range. The Moto G6 costs as much as the Mi A2, the G7 is € 100 more expensive. I think the G7 is not as much of an improvement for that money to be worth it. And left with the G6 and Mi A2, the Mi A2 is just the better phone which is mainly due to the much better SoC, but then it also has longer battery life, an arguably better camera (not because of the Megapixel, but because of the actual quality), and faster updates. The G6 also has some smaller advantages like headphone jack, FM radio, a more unique design which doesn't look like an iPhone ripoff from the back and splash resistance, but those are outweighed by the core advantages the Mi A2 got. And for those who read the whole text, thanks for you attention :)

  • Owned the Nokia 7 plus for 10 months now I own the a2 camera better in a2 definitely and performance it's the same as Nokia 7 plus. I prefer a2 but both great devices

  • which is better Mi A2, Nokia 7 plus or Samsung A7 2018 ? Camera and performance wise.

  • Mi a2

  • Go for Mi A2 instead of Redmi Note 6 Pro for great camera and better and smooth androrid experience. I'm using this phone almost 3 months nothing issue ecounterd after updating to Android 9.0 Pie.

  • I bought MI A2 32GB, 4GB RAM for 200 €. For this money is perfect phone. What I like: -fast -no problems after 2 month -good and quick camera front and back -big size of screen -USB-C charger --battery life, even it is not 4000mAh -charge quick (dont look on youtube, how some phones charge a few minutes faster... it is not important this few minutes, when you charge your phone..) -android one What I dont like: -no headphone output (but you can buy bluetooth headpones for 2 USD, or use adapter) -32GB memory is enough only for some people. 12GB take system, sow you have actualy 20GB of space. Dont think this is a lot-i have navigation app wich takes 2 GB, FB and FB messenger 1GB. App apps toogether 12GB! Sow a little more apps like me, and you have 12GB for system and 12GB for apps, sow 24GB in start used space of 32 GB. And if you store some music and take photos.... Not enough. I must be carful to time to time remove photos from phone to computer. But, it is ok. I can live with this. -i cant find case for my phone like I got it in box-original cover, protect your rear camera, but cases from china, dont. If you put phone on desk, with original case, camera dont touch , but with case from china, camera touch a desk. Because original case, have a little more plastic, wher rear camera is, --- I dont realy explain, because my english is not sow perfect. Sow it is your decision, what you will buy. Dont cry after you buy this phone. You know what have and what doesnt have. I decided, that I wpuld rather have USB-C than 4000 mAh battery (Xioami note).If you want have all, spend more money and buy better phne. But for most people, this phone is perfect!

  • back camera=mia2 front camera=n6 pro battery =n6 pro performance=mia2 software=mia2 misc.=n6 pro now it's on you what do you want btw mia2 is more expensive,but better as well

  • Mi A2 or Redmi Note 6 pro ?

  • Phone in not good hanging problem display touching problem Display touch not proper working

  • i dont know what happen to people out there with their Mi A2.. for me its good! really good.. the camera the snapdragon.. the lastest update 9 it ok for me.. it smooth they fix a lot

  • Bought a Mi 6X (English/Chinese) on last October. A bit too heavy but that's not a issue for me. If you choose English half of the phone stays in chinese. GPS does not work at all indoors (this is a HUGE con). Battery is short, it won't last you a day but who doesn't walk with a powerbank these days? The Camera is reasonable but that's not acceptable on a dual camera phone.

  • This phone is awesome. for the price it is very powerful Snapdragon 660 with 6g ram/ very fast.

  • Don't buy this phone.with every security patch it is getting new bugs.for gaming it is not good at all.it hangs when suddenly call comes when u r playing game or watching YouTube videos.it skows down.yup bt battery is actually good after the pie update.canera is too good. If u want a phone for camera only then go fo it or else just waste of money.am using from 3month

  • no audio jack? really? damn.

  • I love to purchase this phone but no sdcard slot hmmm

  • I encountered a problem with this phone, the second day after instalation of the update of January 2019, after restarting the phone is blocked. it only displays on the ANDROID ONE screen

  • quick charge 3.0 is 18w right not 10....

  • I would suggest to you to buy this phone because of it's great camera and fast and good performance.

  • For me this one is better and fast performance I'm using Mi A2 for almost 3 months compare to Mi 8 Lite.

  • Is this better than Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite?

  • Planning to buy this phone in the next month. Just wanted to know if all the issues posted here are really all that bad, or if they have just been exaggerated. Is this phone a worthy buy?

  • i prefer no notch.. notch is ugly..

  • shaky hand when capturing HDR photos

  • Their customer service just sucks. I complained about a defect a month now (offical EU retail unit), had to fight with them for over two weeks, until I finally managed to send the phone back for repair three weeks now. Mind you, in the EU the maximum time to solve a defect covered by warranty is 30 days. They don't care about laws or even their own warranty terms. Xiaomi's strategy is to simply deny they have to provide any service at all, making you jump through all the hoops until they have no option other than do something. They are infuriating to deal with, pig-headed, and a true copy-paste machine if you ever email their "global service". Xiaomi eventually acknowledged the fault in my device, not thanks to their "global service" (that still denies everything), and repairing it is going to be another odyssey by itself!

  • How i can call record on my mi a2?please help

  • You got a bad apple, not all units are the same. Mine has absolutely no issues so far, bought it on Black Friday (two months ago). I'm still on 8.1 with the november update, I won't update to Pie because it works perfectly as it is (also with Pie you can't use call recorders which is a deal breaker for me). I'm getting even better battery life than my one year old Galaxy S7 (which had a smaller 5.1" screen and the same 3000mAh capacity). The only things I miss are the microSD slot and the NFC (sometimes I forget my wallet at home with my credit cards, with the S7 I would just use the phone for contactless payments instead).

  • Hi..want your opinion,is this phone good?i certainly want to choose between honor 10,mate 10, mi a2, and galaxy a9..

  • Mi A2 - Please don't buy. My experience Batter won't last. Many a times calls get connected but neither party can hear anything. On redialing it works fine. It's the third month of my purchase and the phone is with the service center for the last four days. Reason. Display not working. Four days. Still not fixed. Brought from the Mi showroom in Burjuman center. Dubai If you are looking for android one experience, go for Nokia. I brought Nokia 8 for my wife and Nokia 7.1 for my son. Both working perfectly.

  • 6.4" screen with teardrop notch and a small chin (Oneplus 6T-like, considering the Mi A2 was Oneplus 5T like) Snapdragon 710 64GB/6GB and 128GB/8GB options + microSD slot (even if it's Dual SIM hibrid) 48MP 1/2" sensor at f/1.8 (Xiaomi is already using this module on Redmi Note 7), also a secondary 12MP 2X optical zoom would be nice (as it was with the first Mi A1), the selfie camera is fine as it is 4000mAh battery NFC of course And that's all I want from the Mi A3. I'm not asking much, some of these features Xiaomi already has in the midrange segment, a few of them even on other Mi Ax devices (Mi A1 had the 2X optical zoom, the Mi A2 Lite had 4000mAh battery). Come on Xiaomi, you can do it.

  • if it miui !!

  • Me too either not received a patch update for January in my Mi A2 also.

  • Still no january patch update. What's up xiaomi?

  • My only concern with this phone is the color. Not a big deal, but the screen needs to be calibrated in order to avoid the purple hue. This is not possible under display settings, so I installed a color adjustment app called Color calibrator, Other than this, phone has no issues. No overheating, brightness is good too. Battery life is also awesome.

  • nope

  • nope. there is a type-c to 3.5 mm jack converter in the box

  • no

  • is there an audio jack in "mi a2"

  • Maybe Xiaomi give update after January. So expect it in February.

  • No 3.5mm jack, no deal.

  • Ok. Thanks

  • There is no January Update yet for Mi A2

  • What is 2nd update? January update?

  • After android 9 update wifi not working and battery drains too fast , even android 9 2nd update same issues continues.

  • Been using Mi A2 (6 GB/128 GB Version) for a week and I'm more than pleased! # Really fast (I was concerned about the phone getting slow so bought the 6 GB of ram version to be on safe side and I'm glad I did!) # Camera quality is pretty good (nothing more to expect on this budget) # Battery life is OUTSTANDING! # Super fast charging # Speakers are good # Apps stay in the background (one of my friend said in Pocophone apps don't stay in background, restarts when pulled back) # Premium built (Aluminum body gives a premium look) Regarding the drawbacks the only thing I found is it's not customizable like other Xiaomi phones as there is no MIUI included.Google Now Launcher is being used and it's pretty good and fast as well. This can not be marked as a drawback as you can download a lot of free launchers and use that as default launcher. I'm using Microsoft Launcher and it's running smooth as butter! Great job Xiaomi! Keep up the good work!

  • Camera samples with snail are awful, not sure is it for shaking hands of tester or is really camera that bad.

  • After update Android 9pie battery draining so fast What's metter Somebody help me pls

  • Go with mi A2.

  • A2 lite got a bigger battery with a weaker and more power efficient chipset , a 3.5 headphone jack and a smaller screen with a notch ... A2 got better cameras. I will go with A2 or if custom Android Isn't a deal breaker for you Redmi note 7.

  • Xiaomi Mi A2 or Nokia 6.1 Plus? Please help...

  • It has Gorilla Glass 5. Why don't you mention it, GSMARENA ?

  • That battery is good?

  • Go for Mi A2

  • MI A2 or MI A2 Lite? Anyone can help?

  • Maybe just a little slower

  • What is your phone mi a2 or mi 6x?

  • I have same problem and also finger print scanner slow after pie updating

  • My front led flash doesn't work, am I the only person having this problem? I tried clearing storage for the camera app, but it fixes the problem for just a few days and then I need to clear storage again. But when I call *#*#64663#*#* to test the phone, the flash works. Someone please help me, I tried contacting xiaomi but it seems they don't give a *

  • No ....

  • Does anyone face finger scanner is slowing after android pie update?

  • Not build quality per se, just very bad customer service (their "Global Service" is a joke which ignores Xiaomi's own warranty terms for offical EU phones). Beware, if go to the Xiaomi site and you don't find a local support line for your country then, regardless of the warranty terms Xiaomi may have in its site, you will have only the same warranty as gray-imports from India/China!

  • Anyone had bad experience with this phone's build quality? Can I expect it to run PUBG on High settings? Has anyone tried?

  • I like the phone, not had any battery problems that others advise (no more than any smartphone needing a charge once a day), still better battery than my 1st gen pixel. One issue I have is it won't connect to my car for android auto through USB, despite using multiple cables and factory resets.

  • Bro I'm Using Pie

  • Mi A2 Vs MI Note 6 pro? Which one is the best?

  • Are you using Pie or Oreo?

  • After updated to Pie, Mi2 Lite is lagging especially the camera department! 12 + 5 MP is useless! Recommended to not update to Pie.

  • I have an hidden SSID(wifi) and I can't connect to it with my Mi A2 after Android pie update

  • What do you do and what do you want and what do you expect from an android one phone? Tell me.. I think only you got the problem with the phone... or you are one of the person that not suitable with any android one phone

  • Battery drain issue. Camera is not very good. I dont recommend.And after four months battery problem also,, not getting charging. Regret following what youtuber said. Only looks good on paper.Dont buy this phone.

  • No Glitch It's An Awesome Phone It's Upon The Care Of The Phone Go Fir It

  • Hello Guyz I'm Using MiA2 Since Last Month and Now I want to review it So The first thing i want to say is Awesome, really Guys this fone is super damn awesome Battery is also Great its not too low I'm a very Heavy User and i Charge it in the morning and then i have to charge it in the Evening and it charge in very less time if we see the normal type of Charger Processing is Awesome No Lag at all very fast and smooth Multi tasking Camera is Damn Awesome specially the Low Light Pics are Great with lots of Detail and Clearity, Portrait Mode is not As Good As MiA1 but it's Fine You Can Take Portrait Pics Even in low Light Condition with MiA2 Display is Also So Great Lots Of Brightness in Sun Light My Suggestion Is If You Want Performance and Camera Then Blindly Go With MiA2 it's Just an Awesome Phone don't pay attention to the negative Comments Camera is Best Under 30000

  • Mine lasted four months before the first hardware issue appeared. This by itself isn't that bad, actually it happens all the time with iPhones, Galaxys or any other flagship you can think of. The *real* issue is how Xiaomi handles the issue afterwards (ie. warranty and support) -- it doesn't handle it, actual services by Xiaomi are practically non-existent in Europe, as it's the store itself that has to fix your phone. I even bought mine from one of the official Xiaomi distributors. Xiaomi itself won't do anything other than tell you to factory reset the phone. This is the stone cold reality of why they are so cheap, you'll be gambling the unit you get won't have troubles. If you do, you are absolutely screwed as far as Xiaomi cares -- even choosing the store may not save you from serious pain, I chose an official distributor and here I am still with a faulty phone and no end in sight.

  • Does anyone know can I set a two ringtones for sim cards ? One sim card one ring tone and other sim card other ring tone ? Is this can be done on this phone ?

  • This phone has real issues : frozen black screen , usb connectivity with the pc, wifi connectiviy with other devices (drones, cameras).... I was not able to reboot it correctly, even the low level system seems to behave weird. I was not even able to enter recovery mode to wipe datas. Gone phone... Maybe I was delivered with the wrong one...

  • Depends on which phone xiaomi Redmi 5 plus , is the phone a friend of mine is using and has turned out very fine , great battery life , good experience So yeah they have some good products but is not as good as samsung

  • Hell no , this phone may seem good on paper but trust me when u use it the experience will be not the one expected. Stay with note 5 , is way better

  • Battery drain issue. Camera is not very good. I dont recommend. Regret following what youtuber said. Only looks good on paper.

  • Mi a2

  • Can anyone help me. I have Samsung Galaxy Note 5. Is it worth it to switch to Xiaomi A2. Thank you.

  • I tried hard reset. The battery drain has not changed, but fingerprint speed slowed and my phone does not connect to hidden wifi network

  • Hope by nextyear January update will bring fix to the brightness issue and battery backup for Mi A2

  • you must use adaptive brightness and no problems

  • I have A2 and for my opinion camera is great. If you want android one buy A2, else buy another Xiaomi like note 5, pro, or something better. It is a great phone but other Xiaomi have 4.000mAh, headphone jack and memory card slot if you need it. After 1 month of use I will not change A2 to something else :)

  • Hello guys.. Please help me make a choice, because I'm confused. Which is one are better, mi a2 or Redmi Note 5 ? because I need a rear camera that when I zoom doesn't break.. Please give me reason and advantages and disadvantages for each phone.. Thank you guys for you help and answer..

  • Hello, I have a question how many years live xiaomi smartphones ?. my old smartphone samsung Galaxy s5, he has been working for almost five years regularly, but recently the screen does not turn on. and I thinked will buy xiaomi mi a2. but many people say that xiaomi smartphones don't live long and they glitch after a month of work. if anyone have experience with this company if you can write whether it is true. I apologize for errors in the text

  • How do you set up visual voicemail on A2? I have to continually call to retrieve a voicemail.

  • The main two reasons I bought this device were android one OS and camera. Though this device has high-end camera hardware, it's software is way below standards. It does not even enable camera2 API. I am disappointed with the decision to buy this device at the moment. If you looking for a device with a better camera, this is not the option.

  • My wifi cant connect 100 meters away. Wen i was using redmi note 6 pro i can even connect 150 meters away. But with this mi A2 i find it very difficult to connect even 50 metres away

  • I agree with you and i think the power saving mode is not working

  • After pie update.. battery drain fast.. what the fish xiaomi?

  • he can detected the memory card?

  • Audio true that shit dongle is utter shit , low output and high noise wtf are you talking. Bugs are there everywhere and performance from budget chips are low

  • everytime u updare your phone u have to reset it to clean the bug.just save all your data first than reset

  • Before Android Pie upd my screen was on 45% brightness. And It was Ok. Now i have to use 85%, otherwise its too dark for me.

  • Finger Print Scanner is very slowing after android Pie updating

  • It is casual heating when playing heavy GAMES while charging

  • So after I have updated the phone to Android 9 , I have noticed that my battery drains faster than usual. When I got it fully charged and after like 20 minutes it drops to 90%. Should I do a hard reset into the phone in hopes of fixing the problem?

  • pls does mi a2 heat up while gaming or charging

  • **BEWARE** warranty in Europe of official European phones is only through the store you purchased. Xiaomi will refuse to provide any service, like it was a gray import. Paid the premium for an EU phone with EU warranty, instead got the same service level as a gray import. Disappointed, would have liked to know this before buying my phone.

  • Try to Reformat Your Xiaomi Mi A2 phone after the Android Pie update.

  • Brother. Go for Mi A2 if you want a better camera, better build quality. Although the battery Life of Mi A2 is short as compare to A2 lite but A2 battery life is adequate for almost a full day usage. So A2 is definitely a better choice.

  • mi A2 is better

  • Mi a2 has a much better rear and selfie camera with a bit faster, while mi a2 has a great battery a long side with headphone jack 3.55mm and higher screen ppi. Mi a2 lite is a bit cheaper. I went for mi a2...

  • Please help me make a choice, because I'm confused. Which is better, mi a2 or mi a2 lite? because I need a rear camera that when I zoom doesn't break.. Thank you for your help and answer..

  • I was getting barely more than 3 hour SOT but now it's about 5 hour SOT.(with moderate usage)

  • i used to be xiaomi fan but xiaomi ruined mi a2(good camera phone) with less battery and no 3.5 mm head phone jack.Now i love asus zenfone max pro m2.(good phone overall)

  • I updated my mi a2 to pie yesterday, the battery performance improved with some new features. I just found 1 bug which is when you shot a slow motion video and you want to play it, it stops where you to start the slow motion.

  • Why i am showing too much add on mi a2??how to i stop it??

  • how many SOT you got on this phone?

  • How much an improvement

  • After android pie update my phone battery drain fast. What can ı do?

  • Received the Pie update 3 days ago. Almost no problems, but it also occurred to me that the brightness is not the same as it used to be. What is more annoying is that they have replaced the Snapdragon Audio+ equaliser with a basic one, which has totally destroyed the joy of listening to music. I hope they will solve this problem soon, as I couldn't find any way to install it myself.

  • I recommend you mi A2, if you want take photos, great photos ;)

  • Yes, I recognized the same thing and recognized one more thing that make me happy is sensor working very well. Before 9Pie, sensor failed sometimes at the time of calling with another person, but I must say now (after 9Pie) the sensor working well, even the phone not touching my ears and face, the screen is closure automaticly. I'm happy for this because sometimes I touched somewhere on my screen unknowingly, I opened camera, I ran my flash. :D

  • My device has got more smooth with the great improvement in battery life.

  • No dear. I'm using it right now in a room at 33% brightness. I haven't noticed such a problem. You might need to hard reset your device.

  • Before Android Pie update I was able to use screen brightness on 35-45% .But after update it is to dark, and now I can normally use screen only on 75-85%. Does anyone notice same thing? And what should I do?

  • I,m from Iran and i have received pie update with December security patch 3 days ago (12/12/18).

  • Received Android 9 Pie update. Awesome without issue.

  • Received the December security patch for Android Pie in India.. Battery is doing good.. Some important bugs fixed.. Download size 227mb.. Great phone is this price bracket with a capable processor, camera, design. Battery was okay not too good but after pie and December security patch it's better. Thanks.

  • I'm from Bahrain I've received Android 9.0 Pie Yesterday 13/12/18 in my Mi A2

  • I'm from Pakistan. Received 9.0 Pie today. December security patch also received.

  • I'm from Serbia, Southeastern Europe and today I recieved android pie.

  • Go for Mi A2 6GB RAM/ 128GB ROM to experience how smooth Android one is..

  • If we're comparing the 128GB/6GB RAM version of the Mi A2 to the 64GB/4GB RAM version Honor Play, while ignoring storage space, you're going to get more for your money with the Honor Play. (Although it would probably be more fair to compare both 64GB versions)

  • Huawei honor play (4gb ram) or xiaomi mi a2 (6gb ram) which is better for gaming, which has better rear camera, and which is better value for money (THEY COST THE SAME IN EUROPE)

  • I can't choose between Xiaomi mi a2 (6gb ram, global version, Xiaomi mi 8 lite (6gb ram, global version), Honor play (4gb ram), Honor 8x (6gb ram). I like stock android, very good back camera, i want good but selfie camera, decent battery, good design, and probably the most important thing for me is gaming. So which has the best my values for money? Help please!

  • Go for Xiaomi Mi A2

  • Xiaomi mi a2 (global version 4gb ram) or xiaomi mi 8 lite (global version, 4gb ram) HELP PLEASE I CAN'T CHOOSE. I like stock android, good back camera, decent battery and which is better for gaming. HELP

  • Thank you for your answer. I think xiaomi stoped releasing updates for us. Maybe due to some issues in the software development

  • Not Yet received an any update for my Mi A2 purchased here in Middle East only November Patched yet

  • Mi A2 is called ai camera..but how can i use ai??please tell me..when i capture a picture in low light with flash light eyes is red in the picture..suggest me what i will do..and i am weak in english so please forgive for my wrong writting

  • Mine is working perfectly

  • Hello anyone did you receive december security patch? Because i'm still stuck on november

  • is this phone support otg? many are claiming dose not what is reality?

  • I've owned also this Mobile I've tried to used USB OTG with my friend and doesn't read it

  • Never give wrong answers if you don't know exactly. This phone is USB OTG supported. I know because i own this device.

  • NO, It doesn't support USB OTG

  • Not entirely sure why Pie being a month delayed makes it a "useless phone". I appreciate Xiaomi for halting the Pie updates, because at the moment I'd rather have a reliable phone running Oreo than a buggy phone running Pie. Yes, the proximity sensor is still a bit flawed, I'll give you that.

  • Has anyone received december security update?

  • Almost becoming an Useless "android ONE" phone as of 10 Dec 2018. 1. 2018 Android One Phone, but not getting Android Pie due to halted update from too many bugs - Search Mi a2 Pie halted for reference - Search lis t of Mi A2 Pie bug 2. MI 8, pocophone, mi mix 2 and even MI A1 already getting Pie Update - as of 10 Dec 2018 - Search xiaomi device received Pie 3. Software update that loses to pretty much every other 2018 xiaomi phone -even mi a1. - it supposed to be... Better... 4. buggy existing Proximity sensor, dim on outdoor, bright on indoor, 5. Mi 8, pocophone receiving new Google Camera APi2 support, but mi A2 Doesn't. and 960 Fps recording but again mi a2 can't even record 240 fps options at all. a pretty useless optimized phone for pretty much nothing to be optimized.

  • I have the same problem here. I hope this goes away with Android Pie update...

  • This phone's camera is very bad quality when focus on a object or a thing with portrait mode it's not stable on a ryt target it moves around seconds by seconds & not blur on the target area very bad blur quality it has been cover only 2metre area to blurr. If we talking about it's sensor when we pick / dial a call and put the phone on the ears it's light is blink & perform other function without any command like call on speaker phone without any activity or put the call on hold or put the call 9n mute mode that a big drawback of this phone....... I don't have ever used this type of phone if somebody wants to buy this phone so plz be aware from the features give in comment carefully......

  • I have trouble with camera focus when im filming. Never had this much trouble on my other phones. Camera tries to focus every few seconds. Does anyone knows the solution, and i dont have this problem while taking pictures.

  • Firstly, how much does your fancy Samsung cost? Compare to Mi A2. Secondly, your analysis sounds like hear say. I have one question for you, do you own a MI A2? We can start to analyze your assertions from there. I await your reply.

  • Had this phone for a few days now and I like it. Stock android feels smooth and responsive, and every game I've tried has run really well. I think the screen is really good with deep blacks and popping colors. maybe not as good as a super amoled, but for an LCD it looks good. As some say though, it doesn't go very bright. the battery isn't great, especially when playing games it drops quite fast. But it lasts through a work day no problem. The camera is good. Dark photos can be blurry, but in light conditions the photos are sharp and nice. Video stabilization works really well (but only for 1080p) As some people have pointed out the proximity sensor is a bit weirdly placed, but after learning to hold the phone a bit further back to the head when calling, it's no longer a problem. Overall I think if you can live with the battery, and with that it doesn't have a headphone jack, it is a really good budget phone

  • Battery life quite bad, can't last 12hr, even for an average user like me, Screen not very bright & colour kind of wash off, camera just so so, maybe i used to be Samsung user, i feel that it can't even compare to mid range Samsung C7 2017. Overall quite disappoint with MiA2

  • Does it support USB OTG?

  • The battery is good enough for average users. If you use your phone a lot and play a lot of games you might want a phone with a bigger battery, though. The screen brightness is... alright. It doesn't feel dim indoors, but it can get a bit hard to see outdoors on a sunny day. The camera is really good for the price. Look up samples.

  • I want to ask the users about the battery performance and the screen brightness of the mi a2, are they doing well ? is the camera really good ?

  • hi gsmarena, i just wanna know that who does the rating point in different mobile reviews? how come MI A2 gets a bad rating point of 3.5, and Redmi note 6 pro gets a 4.1? please explain

  • I think in 64GB and 4GB RAM having some issue in read and write internal memory

  • I ami facing same problem

  • It's not having call recording option, which very very important for me. I switched to MI from Samsung was call recorder in MI Note 3 but in MI A2 is useless for me because of this unavailability of the call recording

  • For this Mi A2 phone u can record 4K video at 30fps and auto HDR mode in photo is great even in low light

  • I buy a2 a week ago and I can't see any issue of this phone. And quick charge 4 is super😉 love this phone thanks Xiaomi

  • I want to buy this phone but mi a1 was bad a concert videorecording sound. Very saturated. Any comment about a2?

  • I am guessing you are on pie. Then the adaptive brightness will learn through your usage. Give it some time to learn.

  • WiFi call is not working, Xiaomi is silent if the feature will ever be supported...

  • Just Bought this phone a month ago... I know this is not a high end flagship phone, but for what I get it's price I am very Happy. However there is something I wish they would do different (without significantly affecting it's price.. I think), 1. The Camera Hump is one if the biggest I have seen on a smartphone, why couldn't they just make the whole whole a bit thicker, to level up the camera hump (this phone is VERY thin, a millimeter or more couldn't hurt it's design)... that way they could have put more battery capacity a bit bigger (the 3000mah is a BIT too small for 6" screen operation) 2 The proximity sensor is a joke, often after ending a call, Ia would get random apps or setting opened due to my skin touching the screen doing calls... they could have made it a bit better for this kind of price 3. Adaptive brightness is quite bad for a phone at this price range, so I just use manual brightness setting. 4. And for a few dollars more, I wish they put in NFC, Because I use NFC alot on my previous phone. for proximity sensor and adaptive brightness is waaay better on my previous Nokia Lumia 730 phone But Overall I am happy with this phone, the Camera Is Great, no lagging so far.

  • I've updated my Mi A2 to Android 9 (Pie). Everything seams to work smoother and faster. Even the SOT when i use wi-fi is better now. I've manage to reach 7h and 20 min (With power saver on and with adaptive battery ) until i reach 1% (Adaptive brithness on or manual set up to 50 %). I really like very much my MI A2 it now.

  • Samsung has the worst bang for buck ratio. x6 is worse than the A2 (performance and OS customization). Go for the Mi A2. Anyway 6.1 2018 is better than x6, for me.

  • Just swipe down

  • Got the mi A2 yesterday Can't reject incoming calls When l do the call keeps coming several times The caller doesn't feel it and keep ringing till the end

  • I am buy this phone, and the Charging & Mic port is Broken. because of Preload 9088 Qualcomm Port from the 1st owner because he want to Unlock bootloader . Shit wasting spent $170 from my pocket. and now i must try hard to repair this phone :( sadly

  • Hi guys I got the mi A2 yesterday I have a weird problem I can't reject incoming calls When l do the call keeps coming many times The caller doesn't feel the rejection and keeps ringing till the end Help please

  • I also faced the same issue with the speaker, even the incoming call sound was also not working but the problem got fixed when I restart the device in safe mode. Though, the first problem is still there. The sound of the speaker is very disturbing when you play a song while attending a call simultaneously.

  • Thank you for detailed info.

  • Mi A2 better for practical price and great camera selfie in low light

  • really great phone as considering its budget

  • mi a2 or nokia x6 or samsung j8?

  • The speaker sound of incoming phone call while a video is on play --> is getting disturbed --> after the update

  • Yeah... i got this issue after the Android Pie update

  • Yes, I quite like it. You get a lot for the money. I've only had it for about a week, but the performance is certainly good enough for the games and apps I use, and the camera snaps really good photos for the price too. The battery might not be massive, but it's never died on me during the day so far. Using the dongle for headphones (since it has no 3.5mm jack) is a bit of a hassle, though.

  • Can anyone tell if this Mi A2 support heart rate because I'm Mi fit wristband 3

  • Thank you. Also how is this Mi A2? Is it any good?

  • After the last update of mi a2, brightness is very less and tha slo-mo videos stops where it have to play slow

  • Can anyone tell if this Mi A2 support heart rate because I'm Mi fit wristband 3

  • Just wait until end of the year for the update of Android Pie for other country me also not yet get and update to pie from Middle East

  • If you're willing to pay for an Honor 10, then you should probably also consider Pocophone F1. If it's available in your country, that is.

  • I'm from Germany, and my MI A2 ist still on Oreo.

  • Probably Honor 10 If you have a budget

  • Mi A2 vs Nokia 7 Plus vs Honor 10? I need great performance with better update support and good enough camera. Also other phones in this price range or a little expensive. Suggestions please.

  • Do you face speaker sound disturbance while ringing the phone when a video is on play?

  • do you face no network issue with your mobile . as it happen 3 time to me till now

  • Anyone facing trouble with Mi A2 Speaker sound? Observe the incoming phone call (Ringtone) when a video is on play The speaker Noise gets disturbed very much!!! Note: This may not be noticed by many as the scenario happens as a rare case I could find this issue in many A2 gadgets Pls reply.

  • Can somebody compare MiA2 vs Pocophone F1; 1) Rear Camera = A2 or F1 2) GPS = A2 or F1 3) Video recording = A2 or F1 Tq

  • It's working bro. Thank you so much !

  • is the Android Pie available for this device now? I had only security patch level update only before 20 days.

  • The Battery is very very good .. im using this phone since 3 weeks

  • I'm facing those issues too but not from the begining. After 5 Nov update i noticed those issuses !

  • I have this phone for a month already and I charge it every evening with 30% battery remaining

  • Facing same issue from the very beginning

  • I just got this phone two days ago and I can say it is fast fast with stock Android. My primary phone is s8 plus and I can assure that both phones perform almost equally comparing the price difference. Battery is really good as for today it is on 70% since 12 hours ago with moderate usage and regarding the screen it is great as well and bright enough, use it with the case provided in the box as the phone is so thin and might slide from your hand. Cameras are great back and front, loudspeaker is loud enough as well. Overall it is a great budget smart phone with no lags whatsoever.

  • Sorry for bad English. Trust on stock android capabilities, snapdragon 660 and 6gb of ram, then no need to worries about 3000mAh of battery

  • I would say it actually gets out quite much from the 3000 mAh battery. If you're someone who uses your phone a lot through out the day, then you might want to go for a phone with a larger battery. But for average usage I'd say the A2 is definitely good enough

  • Compare them yourself. Xiaomi Mi A2 CPU: Snapdragon 660 GPU: Adreno 512 Camera: 20 MP Nokia 6.1 Plus1 CPU: Snapdragon 636 GPU: Adreno 509 Camera: 16 MP

  • Can anybosy please explain about battery timming? Bcoz it has the battery of 3000 mah which is the lowest rating as compare to all other xiomi phones.. please guide i am badly intrusted to purchase it. If there any problem then suggest which phone of specially xiomi i should purchase..

  • I think Mi A2 is better. There is no notch in this phone, fast charging, and Snapdragon 660. While note 6 pro has a notch, just Snapdragon 636 and has no fast charging.

  • Comparing it with Nokia 6.1 plus, what would you recommend? Anybody help.

  • Go for Stock Android because you will get also great camera features in low light and a 4K Video Recording. And a fast charging USB type C Port.

  • Go for Mi A2

  • After upgrade to Android Pie my mobile facing problem like swapping between app is slow and headphone sound quality is very bad now. I am using JBL headphone and in sound setting MI Sound Enhancer is not working properly.

  • Guys please, MI A2 or note 6 pro? i'm indifferent if it is stock android or MIUI. I just want to get the best value for money. Please state your reasons.

  • One of the interesting features in Mi A2 is about LED light!!! In a dark place, when the led notification light turns up & down, you can see a very low light rectangle around the screen! It's amazing. In fact, in a dark place you can see a rectangle that turns up and down instead of single notification LED! Did you see that???

  • Mi A2 you can play HD setting on PUBG Mobile

  • Thanks

  • Having some wifi problem in my device ... Sometimes the signal drops(very slow internet), sometimes wifi doesn't connect, sometimes it just doesn't show my network name in wifi list!! Though everything works fine in other devices!! Anyone facing such issues?

  • The mi a2 is the best. Plus its android one.

  • Could you help me guys in what phone to choose since I have a lot of games (gacha games to be exact) to install and I wanted to know which phone is good for those games? Phones in mind -Red Note 6 Pro -Red Not 5 Pro -Mi A2 (Mi 6x)

  • No improvements, 5h soc average

  • Instead of Mi A1, go for Mi A2 for great camera and you will get a stable Android Pie 9.0 also

  • Can't decide if i should get xiaomi mi a1 or Pocophone F1 and desparately need help to decide. Please help ! And thank you beforehand

  • i appreciate your help Thank you

  • i appreciate your help Thank you

  • Go for Mi A2 for pure stock Android One Experience with affordable price

  • Hello. How is the battery life after android pie?

  • for those of you without the update yet, follow these steps: 1. remove sim card 2. backup your data and factory reset 3. when setting up your phone skip everything, turn off location, don't put your email, etc. (Except wifi) 4. download and install Tunnelbear VPN from apkmirror (not from the play store) 5. connect to the netherlands server using VPN 6. go to update your phone, the pie update will be there (as long as you are on the second november security patch) 7. when it is done installing, factory reset again and setup your phone normally the end, you have pie. without root and without unlocking bootloader. the update is really great.

  • Mi A2 But read carefully about android One

  • Plzzzz Mate 8 (4gb 64gb) or Redmi note 6 pro (4gb 64gb) or Mi A2 (4gb 64gb) pLLZZZZZZZZZZZ i neeed your help

  • Please add App privacy Lock application in mi Company.

  • That's pretty normal for me. Sometimes may drain more due to my phone always on WiFi, mobile data and GPS the whole night. Just don't left the battery low overnight if not you will regret the next morning. The phone will get warm, it will be warm when you charge rapidly using included wall charger. Don't worry it's very normal for a phone to be like that.

  • where are you? which country?

  • Google Smartlock is not working

  • Automatic Bettary drain 4-5% at night.Is it a measure issue or its normal? and the quite heated while charging the phone. what about other users!

  • the reality of MI claims: 1. drop tests 2. gorilla glass quality and more

  • Android pie received - working good APT-X HD is now working

  • How about battery life per day for normal user.(is not gamer)

  • There is not no official news about that! I think xiaomi works on camera app. Based on user comments in India, camera2 API does not enabled in the pie update and xiaomi is in progress about that. I would like get pie update with enabled camera2 API. We hope xiaomi roll out pie update for us, as soon as possible with that api.

  • When can I have the Android Pie update here in the middle East? Is their no issue when you update to pie?

  • everything is good in this mobile except 3.5mm audio jack

  • To be honest, I love this phone!

  • I bought this phone yesterday, I hope everything works well and I love android stock! About the update to Android 9, it's officially roll out in India and coming soon on other countries.

  • It's available in India, Brazil and I don't know where else, but unfortunately not at my place.

  • Dude i'm stuck on october 5th update and you're asking for pie

  • We don't get any wireless charging options in this device

  • Why my mi a2 doesn't get pie update yet ?

  • besssssssssssst mi a2 like mi a1 but one problem is camera 2 api enabled through software updates mi you hear

  • But if you want a long battery life that last for a day and a 3.5mm jack and experience Mi UI go for Redmi Note 5 Pro or 6 Pro

  • Definitely Mi A2

  • If you are in practical and want pure Android OS go for Mi A2.

  • Good features with respect to price

  • Don't buy any of them . Just wait a bit . New phones are coming with great specs .

  • I'm deciding between Mi A2 and Note 5 (Pro). What do you people think?

  • i am facing this issue from the day 1. still Xiaomi didn't push any update to fix it. This issue is the only complaint about this phone

  • No But you can download it

  • Does this one have built in call recorder?? Thanks

  • is it 5g compatible

  • They above problem you mentioned is happens to me often automatically brightness goes to higher rate.. all annoying things happens.

  • No, it doesn't support for Mi A2

  • Does mi a2 support Letv type c earphones? Thankyou.

  • I still have october 5 security patch and no pie. As i know november security patch had been released but i didn't get it. Does anyone have the same problem?

  • Real me 2 pro has only notch .. thts it mi a2 far better th real me 2 pro ..mi a2 gives better battery performance as compare to real me2 pro because its based on stock andorid easily stand for 2 days in ..carging time around 75 min becuase it has fast chrging support ... Better to use both the phone thn compare it..

  • Wow similar camera just check the camera of mi a2 if both are similar then ill gfted u my mi a2 its so funny similar camera there is no comparison between real me 2 pro mi a2 camera far far batter thn real me 2 pro i have both of them

  • mi a2 pie 9 appearance some time pixel nice UI

  • It is a stock android phone so you can expect around 1.2 gb system storage thats it.. btw this variant comes with minimum 64 gb of storage ..

  • Can I just ask how much of internal storage do I actually get with 32 GB model

  • No, only Type C to 3.5mm jack adapter and selicon jelly case.

  • Yes and we also get wireless charging, google home, nfc and other accessories lol

  • Totally agreed!:v

  • ..and have ugly notch. btw, today a2 start receiving pie

  • I've just buy this phone 1 week ago and all I can say is good choice better camera except only the battery life it's drain fast.

  • Does anyone have issues with the proximity sensor during phone calls? It is very annoying ... Screen turns on when on a call and quick settings are changing by pushing accidentally the buttons.

  • realme 2 pro is fare better choice then this. it has a bigger battery + head phone jack + stunning display & design ( at this price range) + almost similar quality camera. most of all it price low er then it with SD 660

  • dont!!!

  • no headphone jack= no deal

  • I have mi a1 32 gb 4gb ram and there's someone selling his a2 128 gb 6gb ram for double the price of my phone, is it worth to pay or I don't have to upgrade in your opinion?

  • first beta android pie arrived 2 days ago :)

  • there are stable ports, but the difference is not worth the upgrade, if you want a marginally better camera - get mi8. if you just need a replacement for note4x - get rn5/rn6

  • Hi, have you read the posts on the internet about granny video on September update?: This could be your solution. I've currently only the June update and the video is cool, what deserves a user of an HD screen. Regards!

  • Its such a pitty Xiaomi removed a headphone jack from this phone.. If there was a headphone jack i would buy it in a heartbeat, but like this, less options than my Oneplus from 2016, its a no go. As it turns out, the best smartphones came out in the end og 2016, begining of 2017... After this came notches, headphone jack removal, glass back instead aluminium... All in all, less practicality for more money. Suddenly you have to make a choice between this or that and it was not like this in 2016. You could pay more and get more, pay less and you can make comprises. Smartphone companies have became laisy and greedy if you ask me. Good day everyone 👍🙏

  • When you plug your phone in, slide down the notification bar. There should be a USB option item. Tap it and set it to share files.

  • Chalk up another recommendation for this phone. Best main camera around in its price range and its image quality surpasses that of many point and shoot cameras (Canon, your P&S's suck hard. Disclaimer: I work with Canon DSLRs for a living). The only bundled crapware is the "Feedback" app which is disabled when you turn off Mi telemetry in Settings. Bring your own launcher, firewall and basic APKs (transfer it over USB so Google doesn't call home the moment you connect to data/wifi) and disable all Material 2/"all-whitespace-and-zero-functionality" Google system apps and it runs as well as de-Googled custom ROM (important if rooting is not an option).

  • Photography is good. But video quality very poor Not a good phone do not purchase

  • Mi a2 has stock android while mi 6x has miui

  • How to disable low battery notification... When it goes to 15 percent it goes on blinking

  • What's the difference between Global set and China set ? Is Mi6x same with MiA2 ?

  • Truee that I've noticed that

  • Today i got this phone and wanna say that it is good enough. Pure android, operation, camera, fast charge, slim and metal body and etc. most features are better than the others in the same price level.

  • Fresh new design, gestures and so on. Actually there are many useful features on pie. oreo is a bit oudtated

  • Can you,or any other explain me- why do u always want that much to have the latest version or updates? I really want to hear all the reasons? But just in terms that your phone doesnt have any issues on current version.So,let me hear all your reasons.

  • No redmi note 5 pro in the Philippines

  • We will receive Android Pie somewhere at the end of this year or maybe if they are fast, at the beginning of december!

  • damn... the whole reason i got mia2 & android one OS is for the fast update, if it's slower than other company that using custom UI OS what the whole point for getting MIA2 I'm so disappointed !!!!!!

  • Mi a1 was released in augus last year and started receiving oreo in december. Mi a2 was released in july and shouldn't it be receiving pie a month earlier in november? Instead of that we got 90 mb security update. So where is "be one of the first who will receive pie"? Disappointed in you Xiaomi!

  • Because his name is yasiru and people like him are kinda strange when it comes to phones

  • Why are you comparing a 2017 phone with a 2018 phone ? the fair comparison should be A8 2018 A8 is way better than MiA2.

  • Volte works great on my Mi A2. But WoFi is not supported. Anybody solved this? Or waiting with hope, maybe will be supported in Pie update?

  • You must wait and avoid shake until it take it 7n low light

  • Yes you are right

  • I think battery drain fast after October update. Do you agree with me?

  • How can I download all my pictues and video to my dell desktop? Im trying to download it but I cant.....guidance please!!!

  • i can't take pictures in the manual mode the camera freeze & no picture is saved

  • Same problem

  • Thanksss. I was a bit confused. :)

  • looks:mi a2 performance:mi a2 by a big margin camera:mi a2,not only from the back,but also from the front,not only for photos,but also for videos,not only in good light but also for low light software:mi a2 display:a5 2017 battery:a5 2017 build quality in terms of premiumness:a5(as it has glass back,ip68 certification.gg4 at front and back) told you all of the things,now it is on you what are your preferences,personally,i will not even think of a5 2017,

  • Thanks for answering. I don't care much about jack-port. and microsd slot missing is ok, cuz i am using google photos. are the cameras much better?

  • Which is better the MI A2 or samsung galaxy A5 2017

  • If you change the wallpaper to a dark coloured one, the pull down menu and app menu change to the dark theme

  • Only change your wallpaper to be white Dont usr dark wallpaper

  • Hi everyone... I need a bit of help from you all.. I'm using miA2 now.. my status bar,when pull down is white color..I remember last time when I used Nexus 5 is black color. And I searched on youtuebe or on the web, some are black and some are White... May I know how can I change its color,without rooting it... And I found some used the apps material status bar, material notification shade,but those are not compatible anymore in Oreo.. So anyone u have same experience or skill to teach me how to change it with minimun change to the phone? And also not changing the home launcher also I want to keep my status bar always white

  • xiaomi should learn the meaning of androidone from Nokia.

  • what? androidone? Thankyou for the joke.mi A1 is the example 😁

  • Please xiaomi release 9.0 pie for this ASAP

  • No, you lose the 3.5mm headphone jack and microsd support other than processor upgrade and camera improvements.

  • from my daily use it can go more than 6 hour with opening youtube and game, idk why must u trash talk this phone when u not using it. and i just wan to say this phone camera are beast among middle budget phone

  • This is used only camera feature phone battery backup very disappoint 3100 mAh according to display size.USB Type C like usb modem. and battery heating when its charging on. this is very disappoint. please don"t buy this prize.

  • same issue

  • Is it worth it to upgrade from Xiaomi Redmi Note 4x? How are the google camera ports? Are they stable so far?

  • Bought of couple of days bettery draining very fast

  • My Mi A2 GPS works like a champ

  • You can use em using Moto xstyle turbo charger it's working fine n charged da device pretty fast

  • Yes i do this and it's working BUT until you power off or restart again. So problem unsolved. Again Xiaomi with clean andoid dissapoints me.

  • GPS is not working good on this device or Google Maps has an error. I can click on location until i give a restart of the phone. Xiaomi with clean Android dissapoints me.

  • Go to setting then security and location, then scroll down you will see trust agents click on it and disable smart lock. Now restart your phone and again enable the smart lock from where you have disable now you will see face lock in smart lock

  • can i use my moto g5 power charger (not type c) with this if no, do i need to buy cable also with quick charger (mi power charger 3.0) please tell me

  • Been using it for 2 weeks now so far I haven't found any bugs or problems phone works smoothly and didn't find any of the problems others have faced maybe because I bought the 6gb/128gb global version it works without any lag absolutely satisfied with my purchase but I would not recommend it to a heavy user

  • xiaomi Mi A2 or xiaomi note 6 pro/note5 ai or huawie y9 2019

  • I have got to say, the Xiaomi mi a2 has been an amazing phone.if your heart tells you to go for it, just do and you wouldn't regret it. I currently use the phone(global version) and I am in Nigeria. Works perfectly with my 9mobile sim card especially the 4G LTE (I thought it won't support Nigeria's bandwidth). Battery is actually on point despite the fact that it is just 3000MAH. I have got the 64gb version so there is no fear of low storage and the 4gb is more than enough for an Android one phone. PUBG plays like a charm and I haven't had an issue with it's audio quality even if it is below par compared to flagship phones(but who cares, it is a budget phone). It sells for around 86 plus thousand naira in Nigeria and it really is worth every Kobo. If you are in Nigeria and you want a phone that would do well for around 70 above and you want to get a fairly used Samsung Galaxy S7 or S6, forget it and get the Xiaomi mi a2. It will definitely serve you well.

  • does it support 2TB portable Hard drive?

  • I think A2

  • For me also smart unlock become empty & honesty speaking the phone touch..offenly laging.???can give update to fix the issue

  • Because in Europe and USA people will not welcome and tolerate substandard product.

  • IKR! I'm an Indian too and I see this happening a lot more than it should. Idk what they want, you can give an Indian a flagship phone for free and still something will bother him/her.

  • would it be a good decision to buy this phone now any major problem with this mobile (like call volume, hanging)

  • Why indians and people like that always complain? Here in europe we have no problems with this phone

  • Anyone has info about radiation levels (SAR)? Can you please direct me to specs regarding radiation?

  • 1st I am sorry for my bad english. I bought this phone before 5 days. It shows problems like, when I make any call, the receiver of my call can't hear my voice & without connecting the charger the phone not boot.

  • So how is its lifespan?

  • Pocophone of course.

  • Change launguage Then go to smarl lock open it ... Then change launguage to the older Go to user... Make a new user While you in new user mode Go to smart lock open it Then return to admin user Delete new user Make shutdown It must be charme

  • Xiaomi A2 or pocophone F1??

  • After October update face unlock option not available any body mi a2 user get that ???

  • First if you wanna solve problems with latency while texting then you should change from settings of keyboard vibration or time of vibration while you touch each character. Second you should enter in about phone and tap 6 times on Soft version (Not the one with Android 8.1) until you became developer. After that you can find in About phone or in Accesibility option named Developer Options. Enter there and scroll down until you see 3 options - Window animation speed; Dimensions of Transition Animations and Animation scale duration. Enter there and select: 0.5 x on those three. After that exit there and search in Apps - Settings. Delete all setttings data and done. Your phone and keyboard will run faster :) The End !

  • GSMArena battery endurance ratings: Mi A2: 73 hours Redmi Note 5 AI: 92 hours

  • Hello, dear readers. Just want to say a few things about this device, and possibly lead you to the right choice of picking a phone. I buyed it a week ago, and i'm impressed how much it's offering for it's price, first you get HD+ (if that's how you call this slightly higher resolution), a nice 6" screen, 4GB ram, fantastic cameras, fast charging, and to top it all you get sd 660 chipset, which works like a charm. Stock android gives you a pleasure you've never felt before, if you didn't use device like pixel devices from Google. It's smooth, snappy and great looking. Since I've only used mid range devices for the last couple of years, i can say that this is the best bang for the buck of 2018 year (at least for me). This phone is just not for users who wan't ultra fast performance like sd 845, but yeah there is like pocophone f1 or something similar, if you don't care about brands, and you just want fast device for like best money invested, this is what you should be interested in. But yeah, i'm not gonna just talk about good traits of this phone there are also bad like: No SD card support, but if you get 4/64 device like me, i think you shouldn't worry about space, there is always pc/laptop you're using to transfer files/photos/videos to save it all, and whoa you have again space on the phone. The Battery - 3000mah is not enough for this phone, honestly speaking. I can like go through 1 day with some compromises, most of the time, but the battery drain is huge, and i'm not even that much of a heavy phone user, good thing is that you can charge it over 75% for 1 hour, which is cool. And this thing which i'm going to mention is something i haven't seen anyone bothering with, so i'm suspecting it's something with my device, or you just don't recognize it like me. This phone has some keyboard lag or higher response touch time, i type really fast, and when i do it on this device, it just can't follow my steps, and often messes up the order of words. Before this device i've had Huawei p9 lite and i haven't even once seen this on it. Actually i even read somewhere that this phone has like 140ms response time (which is really low on first look), but just try to imagine in your head, when you type like madman you're probably clicking faster than that, and other phones on average have 100-120ms, so when you type really fast it can't really follow you that good, it might not be that of a bad thing, but it's just something i want to say. Phone Jack - not really a thing that should bother anyone, it has adapter and works just fine, not like you cant expect from a phone, or this price range to have some impressive sound cards. Thanks for reading, and if someone knows some fix for this latency problem,you can just pm me. I'm outtie and good luck with phones to all of you!!

  • Connect your mobile to some other WiFi point and check the results.

  • i find everything just fine. there is an equaliser in the app setting dear. its easy to find it.

  • It's about time you switch to Bluetooth earphone.

  • Miui doesn't sucks. It is one of the most preferred UI.

  • I just got mine from Amazon at only 13499 INR/-. I guess, it's a nice deal of having this device at that much amount. Will keep you posted about the performance.

  • LoL andoid one is the best, MIUI it's sucks dude.

  • i just bought this phone today. when i login my google account to this device google send me an email that says "your new Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro doesn't have the latest Google apps". is this normal? coz this mi 6x not redmi note 5 pro.

  • 3000 ma battery with Stock Android is equivalent to 4000 ma battery with MiUI.

  • It should be with MIUI or Oreo, Android one is a poor model

  • Even if Xiaomi put 4,000mah battery in this phone, it still wouldn't have cannibalized the Redmi Note 5 AI sales because the latter has a headphone jack and expandable memory. Such a shame this phone was crippled way to much.

  • mi a2 buy 2week display one line complaint

  • After MiA1 gets it in December 2018.

  • equaliser settings

  • There is a built in Snapdragon equilizer on the phone. Open any compatible music app like Google Play Music to try it out. But I recommend install a good music app player from Play Store.

  • This mobile wifi is very slow and bad how i can fix it

  • This is stock android noob you only get Google apps.

  • Hi all, I wanted to ask how have you solved the problem related to wifi drop. In my case for example when I am on Whatsapp call or playing a game online then after 10min the wifi is disconnected, call is ended and in case of game, it hangs up. Then after 1 min the wifi connect again and I have to redial the call. Any suggestions would be valuable. Thanks

  • google play music > settings > playback > equalizer

  • Check Google Play Store. Please give a try to learn by yourself.

  • I'm very disappointed about sound quality via headphones. Level of volume is very low and there is no system equalizer like there is in other xiaomi devices.

  • Update to my previous message... Before I continue my views, a small correction to my previous message. Just replace "gimmicks as features" with "gimmicks as features of the mobile". What is a Custom UI? Any custom UI is a launcher in itself and nothing but an app precisely. Every app has its own features that can't be attributed as features of the mobile itself. Xiaomi uses their own custom app for their dual camera. There are various custom apps for the camera which has their own set of features. In the same way there are various launcher apps which has their own set of gimmicks or features. Those who are interested in those gimmicks can download and use them. In the same way every custom UI can be provided as a launcher app with its rich set of gimmicks or features for those who prefer it. Stock Android is straight forward and Simple to use than other custom UIs which requires minimal RAM and minimal usage of processor. Stock Android is always the clear Winner. Bye for now and let me continue later.

  • when mi a2 get android 9????

  • You were right, i uninstalled all recent apps and now it seems to be gone.

  • Those ads will hardly come because of the phone update as it is anfroid one. It is most likely some app that you've installed. I've had a voice recorder which introduced ads with normal phone usage (after phone call, e.g.). Try to remember if you've i stalled something new, or if you have an app from not so famous developer that was recently updated...

  • Been using it for a month. So far I can tell, that with my normal daily usage(telegram,viber,youtube,chrome,audiobook) battery lasts about 2days. What i didnt like is that with recent update i see ads,when I unlock my screen. Screen color temperature cant be set, like on my previous P9 2016. No 3,5 jack i also minus. This dongle inside is so thin,that I dont beliave i will last longer. A plus is camera,great photos and videos(but i get green screen instead of photo rarely). What I also enjoy is metal body and lack of notch. Its fast, cant complain. Didnt had any connection issues. Am I the only one,who has issues with pop up ads after unlock? I tryied to deactivate those, but without succes.

  • B612. Available in play store. Use pretty filter for image

  • could anyone one plz suggest me about the camera also u can suggest my any other options.thans in advance..

  • Update to my previous message... I would like to continue my discussion with the gimmicks played by Custom UIs. Some of us call these gimmicks as features. What are the real features of a mobile? A mobile that features a good processor, camera, dual VOLTE, dedicated SIM Card tray, etc., can be termed as good Hardware features. EIS for the camera, the camera app itself with its rich features, a good collection of pre-downloaded apps, AI, facial recognition, etc., can be termed as good Software features. Now, coming to those who call those Custom UI gimmicks as features are the ones who doesn't know much about as to how the device works or who knows little about Operating Systems and Software Architecture. The population of mobile users who knows these underlying principles are not more than 20%. The remaining 80% takes advantage of the gimmicks played by the Custom UIs to entertain themselves. The people who feel sorry are those in the 20% category. Bye for now and let me continue with another update.

  • is it OTG supported

  • how to make speed dial

  • I'm using this phone for one week now ...any recommendations for a better camera app than the one preinstalled. thanks

  • Read my message properly. If you can't follow it..... I have nothing to say.

  • What does Lenovo's ZUI have to do with Mi A2?

  • Based on statista.com there are only 2.53B smartphone users in 2018 and around 80% of them are android users ... Even if we disregard the numbers and focus on your mentioned fact that most use custom rom/ui/skin - most android phone makers use custom rom/ui/skin and due to most users not being tech savvy they will use what they are given aka brands own bloatware/UI with encouraging warnings of no support, updates and warranty to those who would think of changing it.

  • Update to my previous message... Hello readers, many of us wonder with the gimmicks played by various Custom UIs but, do they provide any real benefits. Didn't the creator Google, of the world's famous OS, Android, know to add all these gimmicks to their existing Stock Android? They simply won't do it just because it would become a burden to the processor. These gimmicks slow down the processor and consumes a considerable portion of memory (RAM). To understand more, let us take up Motorola One Power (P30 Note). As an Android One device this is released with 3 or 4 GB of RAM globally. But with the skin ZUI it is released with 6 GB of RAM. This ZUI bloatware consumes more than 2 GB of RAM. When you put these two variants under speed test only the Android One device would win. But, why the manufacturers go for their own custom UIs, remains an ultimate question? Though I know the answer, it is beyond the scope of discussion. Bye bye for now and let me continue with another update.

  • The fast charging stopped working 2-3 days after I updated the security patch for September. The jack adapter does not work either, the phone recognizes the headphones but i cannot hear anything. When I plug in the charger it says charge will be full in 5-7 hours. I'm using the original charger and cable. I have also used different fast charger from samsung and the same thing happens so I don't know if this hardware of software related. Does anyone have the same problem, were you able to solve it? I hope to find a solution soon. Thanks.

  • Disable the fingerprint fonction.

  • Fix the battery drain bug.

  • The company should give us a good update.

  • Very good phone. Cheap and the Best

  • For smooth performance and camera Mi A2, For a huge battery Mi A2lite ,For looks and decent performance Honor 8x , But i pick the Mi8 lite cause of a great design ,Great camera and Sd660 with 6gb . only con is you cannnot expand sd card otherwise this is a complete budget phone.

  • Same with me

  • What to choose between: Xiaomi A2 lite, Xiaomi a2, Xiaomi mi 8 lite and Huawei Honor 8x?

  • Well. You may check with Xiaomi, as to what the world prefers. Xiaomi's Mi A2 would have become the world's best smartphone if it had the following. 1. Good LCD IPS display instead of LTPS display. For your information, LTPS display has a shorter life span to IPS LCD display. Moreover, colors are more vibrant and accurate in an LCD IPS display when compared to LTPS display. Another piece of information is that LTPS display are cheaper than LCD IPS display. 2. 4000 mA battery instead of 3000 mA. 3. 3.5 mm audio jack. You need not accept the above just because I'm replying.. In this world no one accepts facts. To end up if realme 2 pro had launched with Stock Android (Need not be an Android One device) it would've made its mark. The world prefers stock android to other custom UIs just because it manages RAM efficiently since it is highly optimised. Every piece of information is available in WWW. The saddest part is that people don't find time to get themselves enlightened. Good Luck.

  • He didnt say stock android has more users. Xiaomi made pooling once, and the result was their user prefer android one than miui.

  • Well, you wonder wrong. Total number of smartphone users in 2018 is 5.5b, if you include only Android, thats about 4b.. Facr is that stock Android (Pixel launcher, Launcher3 = Nokia, Xiaomi_ Motorola, and some other unknown brends with 'androidone') is about 20 milions. Only 20 milions.. Reset Android users use some of custom rom/skin/ui... Samsung Experience, MIUI, EMUI, Xperia launcher, Sense, UX etc... So stock Android is not that much popular like you think. :)

  • I have an issue with the auto-brightness, it just react to slow to changes, so I set my brightness manually.

  • Don't think Mediatek processors (in the V11i) stand up to the quality of the Qualcomm Snapdragon in the Mi A2.

  • best best best budget

  • r there any screen brightness issues ?? i'm a normal user (not much of internet, will the battery last for a day)

  • You may download a custom skin (Launcher) in any stock android device.

  • not everyone likes stock android...even i dont i prefer a UI like oxygen in one plus or miui on xiaomi it has just one advantage android updates (which usually comes late and does not add any major advantages to phones) i prefer customer UI

  • Xiaomi Mi A2's USP is its Stock Android. Hence price reduction might not happen. I wonder as to why mobile manufacturers use their custom skin when most of the world prefers stock android. Every mobile need not be an Android One device but can very well incorporate stock android. Moreover, every mobile manufacturer know that their custom skin is a bloatware. This bloatware can be provided as a launcher to download for those who prefer it. For example if Realme 2 Pro had come with stock android (need not be an Android One device) it would be a definite competitor to Xiaomi's Mi A2.

  • really? Mi A2 over Nokia 7 Plus??

  • not yet. just security updates.

  • The phone is for 1. Who prioritize performance 2. Who Dont have the problem of being called a " Xiaomi " user 3. Who likes to get some flagship level photos , but one plus is still very costly for them. 4. Who wont mind to to give some juice to the phone after playing PUBG after 4 hours ( it supports qc 4 , so u dnt have to wait much , just watch 1 episode of narcos ) The phone isnt for 1 . Those who have downloaded 1000+ music in their sd card , and dnt have the option to upload it to the drive and download it again 2. Extreme audiophiles. ( Cause no dedicated dac and audio port) 3. Who hate to bring a powerbank to their work 4. Who dont likes the idea of getting a sot lower than 8 hours Thanx

  • i just bought MI A2 yesterday and there is an update with size 1181 MB is there are any problems with this update and is that android 9?

  • It's good phone, but there is very annoying bug with Goodix fingerprint sensor. Please vote here if you experience same issue: To check your fingerprint sensor: *#*#6484#*#*, 31 Fingerprint Sensor. You will see goodix either fpc.

  • Realme 2 pro doesn't have quick charge, and it doesn't have USB type C (it has micro-usb)

  • I use NFC

  • Is there sill problem with the proximity sensor or it has been fixed already???

  • NFC isn't a huge concern (who really needs it), but if the screen had straight edges and there were stereo speakers: I'd buy it in heartbeat. :)

  • why no nfc ?

  • mi A2 6gb and 128gb will release in Pakistan?

  • Some like the notch and others not. Tbh this design will still be my choice for years to come. The notch makes you feel you're losing some part of the phone.

  • 1 - Actually, both of the screen is the same size, the reason why its 6.2 on mi 8 is because of the notch. (U still need to view the video in 5.99 if u turn off the notch, which u should do) 2 - the battery life is also the same despite the difference of 350mah , miui is battery hungry meanwhile stock android on a2 will save the power consumption alot. Just my opinion.

  • Mi 8 lite seems better than Mi A2 in my opinion. It is priced almost the same as the Mi A2 according to gsmarena, and is expected to be released 2018, September 25th (in 2 days) It is very similar to the Mi A2 except some differences Pros: - Larger screen : 6.26" vs 5.99" - bigger battery: 3350mah vs 3000mah Cons: - 12MP main (back) dual camera vs 20M What are your opinions about it?

  • good phone quality, good camera and good software(guaranteed by google 2 years of software update). However, the design looks a bit old especially this year where bezeless phone trend thingy era.

  • It doesn't phone is very very slippery, case or a skin is really needed

  • takes up 13 gb for me

  • What part of the internal memory occupies the stock android, how many gigs approximately???

  • But I think this camera bump on the back will make the phone less slippery...

  • I wish xiaomi could have a better camera design than just following iphone again and again altough they give the best spec, because it is boring and looks like not special phone now

  • Good day. I have questions to those who owned this phone because im planning to buy. These are my questions: 1. Is the screen good in outdoors? 2. Does its camera perform well in lowlight? Can it capture bright signage/logos or banners in the background at night? Or does it blowout the highlights? 3. Is the camera capable of snapping moving subjects? Is the shutter speed fast? 4. Is the video camera fast in focusing subjects? Does it focus-hunt while recording videos? 5. Is the selfie camera good enough at night? 6. Is the phone usability stable? Does it have major bugs? Sorry for asking a lot. Im planning to buy this budget phone for its camera but i want to make sure it takes decent photos in lowlight for social media "as the review" mentioned. Im working at a bar in europe that's why lowlight pics are important to me. Hope someone who owns the phone answers me. Thank you.

  • what about honour vide 10..? it has best camera best processer comparing vivo and mi

  • 128GB ROM mid-range phone comparison (Malaysia): Nubia M2 : RM799 Xiaomi Mi A2 6GB : RM1,199 Huawei Nova 3i : RM1,249 Vivo V11i : RM1,299 Huawei Nova 3e: RM1,399 Oppo F7 6GB : RM1,399 Honor View 10 : RM1,449 Xiaomi Mi 8 SE : RM1,449 Honor 10 : RM1,599 Vivo V11: RM1,699 Huawei Nova 3 : RM1,899 Finalists: Xiaomi Mi A2 Vivo V11i My pick: VIVO V11i Reason: - Bigger screen with small notch - Ergonomic light weight design - Better battery life - Fast Charging out of the box - Triple card slot - Headphone jack

  • Honestly, it is decent -. However, when wearing sunglasses, I cannot see ANYTHING!

  • Nope.

  • Which one takes better photos, Pocophone or Mi A2???

  • I am wondering if I install several third-party apps from the store - messenger, a pedometer and lets say some online radio for example, if this phone with 4 gigs of ram version will still be running smoothly and without lags, what do you think....??

  • Mi 6X/A2 also has significantly better cameras than the Honor Play, which is in the same price range as Pocophone F1. Huawei did a great job going toe-to-toe with Xiaomi on price/performance. The Honor Play is not enough to kill any of Xiaomi's mid rangers though: Mi 6X/A2, Mi 8 SE, Pocophone F1 etc.

  • Mi 6X is selling at 1199 yuan ($175) in China. Honor Play is 50% more expensive.

  • yes, but i think it is only in the miui version

  • Have it for a week...the phone is amaizing...camera is great!

  • Is there a "double tap to wake up" option in this device?

  • Thanks for your reply! And what about the legibility in the sunny days, is it that bad or???

  • Excellent! It is also very good in low-light :)

  • No, but it supports 6G.

  • How's the camera quality?

  • No it supports 10g

  • of course not!

  • Is xiaomi mi a2 support xternal hard drive, fast charging, ordinary handsfree using provided type c converter, and what about brightness in sunlight and battery video playback and on screentime???

  • save a little bit and but the pocophone

  • does this phone support 5g

  • I want to buy this phone but worried about the battery. Should I buy this or p20 lite? suggest any other.

  • Not experiencing any issues with the proximity sensor on my Mi A2. Works flawlessly. Also, the build quality is great! But I am using a Spigen case on it anyway, so yeah lol

  • Honor Play and Nova 3i.

  • i want to buy this phone but i'm worried about it's proximity sensor. my previous xiaomi device had some proximity issue.

  • Not happy battery issue.

  • obviously pocophone, however, it is more expensive

  • which phone

  • the phone performs itself is good n battery lasts for a day easily but em disappointed by the build quality especially camera module even wid protection it has bad scratches all around the camera module badly designed in this way n materail isnt good its feeæs cheap if anybody facing same issue please do reply.

  • Definitely the Mi A2! Better camera and software optimization :)

  • Both are them are nothing compared to this phone LOL

  • Battery is very badh

  • This phone has been killed by Honor Play and Nova 3i

  • Mi A2

  • Nokia 7 plus, Honor Play or Xiaomi Mi A2?

  • It is excellent! Even in low-light. Such a camera isn't expected on a $280 phone, but it happened, and I am VERY satisfied with the results!

  • Then replace your phone. You got a faulty one.

  • How is the camera quality?

  • One of the worst phone every...Hanging and Issue after a little use...

  • hehehe

  • Are you talking about the Redmi Note 5 (Redmi 5 Plus)? If so, the Mi A2's camera is better, as well as the processor. Plus it has Bluetooth 5.0 and a Type-C cable. About the battery, I'm pretty sure 4,000 mAh destroys 3,000 mah lol But regardless - the battery on my Mi A2 lasts for a day without a problem!

  • Seriously its that awesome ways its battery capacity...wat if I by redmi note 5 plus would it be a loss

  • Battery life is great on my Mi A2! Lasts for a full day without a problem.

  • I have NONE of the problems you mentioned on my Mi A2. The battery life is great, lasts for a day. No lag, not when using the keyboard, not anytime. The proximity sensor seems to work fine on my phone. Perhaps you got a faulty model? Replace it, because mine is perfect!

  • I know right!? I don't even know why people are complaining! The performance on my Mi A2 is stellar, much better than my previous Mi A1, and its battery lasts for a day without a problem for me. Not to mention the loud speakers and the fact that I already got the September security patch and will be getting the Android 9.0 Pie update next month. This phone is absolutely fantastic! I have the 4GB/64GB model, and I'm glad I moved from an iPhone.

  • I dont have any problems you mentioned.. and battery are decent, one and a half day of average use. for me the highlight of phone are outstanding audio quality

  • Hello! I would like to comment on some performance issues. First, the phone factory keyboard (gboard) works "crazy" after de August patch. And it does NOT resolve this issue after September patch. Crazy I mean lagging problems. I cannot write fast as I would like, because there are letters missing when I press them, because of the lagging. Same thing happening with Swift Keboard. Second, proximity sensor issue: During a phone call or a whatsapp call, the proximity sensor does not work properly. Sometimes it takes too much time to turn off the screen when I put it in my ear, and sometimes it turns on the screen during the call. Third, the battery drain is huge! I cannot make it to the afternoon.

  • Its because cable was usb micro 2.0 for A2 lite .. n type c for A2 ..

  • nd its battery??

  • Hello, Update "Protection" field to "Gorilla Glass 5". Regards!

  • MI A2...hv been using fr over a week now.. It has some network issue ...fone remains net rechargeable most of the times and has some voice clarity issues...no call recording option as well...

  • Does Anyone know how to turn down the notification sound, Its loud even when I turn down Ringtone volume

  • thanks for your advice but How , even if how long does battery withstand ?

  • the only thing i can advise you is that reduces the resolution to 720

  • i wanna sell it, considering that my only problem is the battery (draining fast), please advise

  • i prepare for MI MAX 2 5300mah

  • poor battery compared to redmi note 5.

  • Mi A2 has the better camera, especially in low-light.

  • Because they wanted mia2 to look slimmer and have better aesthetic.

  • Thanks. Nokia 7 Plus is in the same price range as Mi 8. Even Nokia 6.1 Plus is more expensive than Mi A2. Some Nokia fans are really reaching here.

  • u tell which is better 660 or 845

  • Poco F1. Camera, battery, processor, liquid cooler

  • Yes. It have but white only

  • I bought it today and found it does (white light only)

  • Does it have a led notification light? If yes, then colored or white only?

  • Which is the Best Phone MiA2 Or Poco F1

  • Why do you want to remove sd card from phone? I never remove sd card from phone untill I buy another phone.

  • Oppo f9

  • You can take photos with very good dynamic range and more clarity by adjusting the camera settings. just change contrast, saturation and sharpness to high. I just tried it out. Just try and see the difference of before and after adjusting the settings

  • You are Soo complaining.. I'm using mi a2.. And it's perfect..

  • Mi phone can not play hd videos from Amazon prime and Netflix, due to some protocol and certificate compatibility issue, Please refer below link, ­

  • Better ? I think you have never use a Xiaomi hp before. Try mi A2 its a perfect low budget but high performance hp

  • Hi Sir, I've got 3 mi phones 5s, note 4 and redmi 5a. My 5s will be 2yrs old come December and still shows no damage same as to my other phones

  • Here its cheaper

  • Yes, I'm seeing Mi A2 64GB at $255 and Nokia 7+ at $400

  • Xiaomi is iphone wannabe.

  • This phone costs close to Samsung galaxy a8 2018 in my country and there is the Redmi Note 5 and the Huawei Nova as 3i as well..I am not sure what to buy I use my phone a lot especially for Instagram ( I am not a gamer , I just play Clash Royale and such casual games), I take a lot of pictures with the phone, I listen to a lot of music and I use my phone outdoors . What do you recommend? I currently have a Huawei p10 lite and I want to get a new phone that suits me more.

  • Phones made for price have SD cards (and headphone jack), others rely on larger internal storage and USB-C for all functionality. Do you want external storage? Use a flash drive with USB-C connect (Sandisk has them). It's even more convenient that removing the SD card from the SIM card tray.

  • so that OS can read up storage faster~ OS reading build in memory faster than SD card~

  • I just wanted to ask if all Xiaomi don't have sd card slot and why? :)

  • whether any update is rolled out to improve the battery life...

  • my mi a2 gives me an average of 7-8 hours of screen on time on heavy usage.

  • a2 or oppo f7 ?? ..... pleas honest opinion .

  • 4 hrs screen time only Sold it already

  • how does Xiaomi end up giving MI A2 3000mAH and MI A2 Lite the smaller one 4000mAH. it makes no sense

  • nokia 7 plus dosnt have better camera

  • The speed is good The camera is good not for zoom The design is good It is open apps fast But there are problems must be updated.. First the phone app cant use light sensor to prevent the screen to wakeup through it is in my pocket..this problem can make you answer or reject a call suddenly Second problem in google keyboard if you use it in double mode in landscape mode you will not use these letters on the center ... These problems are software not a hardware problem

  • It's 2018 and still no NFC...

  • i've had it for a week,and i really like it actually.i do recommend it,to be honest i think its better than some samsung devices for the same price or more.

  • Never expect to much for cheap phone

  • Its depend. Mi A2 has better low price to performance. Nokia 7 plus has better build quality & design, better battery, better camera, better color display quality, better software update.

  • No nfc?

  • In my country, the base 4gb 64g nokia 7+ is much more expensive than Mi A2 6gb 128gb. Honest advice please.

  • Not 5 pro sd card option with snapdragon 636 and this is snapdragon 660 chip set with no sd card support

  • Huawei honor play or Xiaomi A2? please suggest

  • What funtion off phone you smartphone ? You better using nokia 3310 sir ..it very suitable for you ..are you come from year 2001 ? ..lol

  • guys please should i buy this one or redmi note 5 pro/AI

  • Lmfao

  • why this 3000 battery xiaomi with 6 inch screen why ???

  • Hoping Xiaomi will start releasing mobile devices here in the U.S. through either mobile carriers or retail stores like Best Buy, and no just Xiaomi, Oppo, Huawei, Meizu

  • The 4GB RAM + 32GB variant of the Mi 6X is now priced at ¥1199 (~$175) just on mi online store

  • Battery performance is extremely poor..it drains out more than 50% in 2 hours of navigation

  • What MUI here? This is pure Android.

  • If u want a phone for long usage, Better built quality,Better battery, better display, and decent camera go for samsung. If u want only good camera then go for MI

  • MIUI destroyed my Redmi note 4 in the end the phone crashed on ever app it opened ,so I decided I will only buy a Android one phone ,so Bought this phone last week ,to be honest this phone is amazing All those people complaining are like little kids with no knowledge of things.

  • Lol don't buy Samsung ,it got outdated processors ,go for MI A2 blindly

  • Acceptable for the price, my redmi note 4 volume down button broken after a year :( I wont complain since its cheap phone.

  • Which one is best Samsung galaxy On8(2018) or Mi A2

  • My opinion after using 10 days of this phone Everybody tell about this prosessor camera etc but my opinion some basic function like call quality censor vibration battery speed all are very bad and useless censor not work properly screen light not work properly vibration is very slow bad mobile in high price

  • I understood before your comment all the things you wrote, I just didn't want to delve into all those details, because they were not the main point I wanted to make. You might have missed the main point I wanted to make: The main point was not all those details, the main point was that Xiaomi will have to reduce the prices of their other phones, due to the Pocophone F1, because the Poco F1 is much better in its specifications (and functionality) than most of their other phones with a price around and under $300 (including the Mi A2) . Therefore most people will prefer to buy the Poco F1 for $300 even if they have to add a small amount, because of the much better specs for the small amount of money.

  • All the stuff that doesn't matter to you, matters to everyone else, what's wrong with you??😂😂

  • Ouch, you don‘t understand much about everything else either The specs you should not care about are MP, GHz, GB of RAM and mAh. 12 MP is enough resolution, but doesn‘t help with real image quality. That is determined by a variety of other factors combined. GHz don‘t care either. It‘s true that the SoC of F1 is better than that of A2, but that‘s not because it got 600MHz higher clock, but because it is the 845 vs the 660, which is just faster again, because of a variety of different reasons combined. RAM is also usually enough. Those people wanting the most RAM are usually those always closing all the apps in multitasking, which is the only area where you would need much RAM. But more than 2 GB is enough for everybody who doesn‘t Switch between 5 games at a Time, which is de facto Nobody And mAh is not the only factor of battery life. It is a reeeeally rough estimate, but factors like display size and all the tech inside as well as software and its optimization are important, and all those together can make a massive difference between 2 phones with the same sized battery.

  • What about material quality? I've bad experience with Xiaomi (2 phone), which power button faulty easily....

  • Why don't you ask the user to on flight mode, i am sure it will last 2 days, better if just off the phone after charged, then it make last 3-4 days... lol

  • Maybe temperature sensor problem or hardware issue.. please contact the nearest mi service centre.

  • Its dependent what u need, nokia x6 is better build quality, mi a2 is better low price. Most xiaomi phone is only worth in 1 year

  • Please is that a software or hardware

  • I think xiaomi downgrading their product nowaday. Old xiaomi better build quality and better fresh design. Fragmented inconsistent line up.

  • Same issue brother, battery drain fast and super overheating.. I was happy with the phone and xioami in general now I regret buying it..

  • Don't worry, take your mobile phone to the nearest mi service centre and get resolve the issue but in future please don't buy mi, go for Nokia.

  • nope. indian version has quikc charge 4. global has quick charge 3

  • Please I can't understand.....are you mean this problem on all mi phones......I want to know is this software or hardware

  • In my opinion Xiaomi will have to reduce the price of the Mi A2 and their other phones due to the fact that the Xiaomi Pocophone F1 which was just released is so much better and sold only for $300. Therefore I think that at the current pricing most people will prefer to add a small amount of money and buy the relatively cheap Pocophone F1 over other Xiaomi phones. The Poco F1 main advantages: 1. Better processor (2.8GHz vs 2.2GHz) 2. Better battery (4000 vs 3000mah) 3. Smaller phone size (height and width), but bigger/better display (6.2 vs 6 inch) 4. Sd card slot and audio jack which are missing from the Mi A2 On the other hand the Mi A2 cameras seem to be somewhat better (20MP), but I don't care or understand much about the cameras.

  • Dude, only indian variant have quick charging. Global variant don't have quick charge

  • Brand problem

  • Please I want a help .... My battery tempreture is stuck on 38 even in any condition......my question .. is this a software problem or hardware

  • Why?

  • You guys talk too much about MI A2 battery being small, forgetting both the S8 and the S9 have the same capacity despite the 2k display plus the bloated software that comes with them. come on guys, complain about things that makes sense.

  • sorry I don't understand how long does the battery last ?

  • Blindly go with nokia and please don't compare cheap mi with Rockstar NOKIA

  • It depends what's your priority. I can charge my phone at work, at home, in a car, so battery is not my biggest concern. I picked A2 because of cameras because there's no workaround for bad pictures.

  • No LED notification?

  • 3000 battery is a massive disappointment imo, should have been at least 3500. Mi A2 lite is the better pick if you don't care about gaming.

  • For who have mi a2 device ..for the firstime use ..charge mi a2 battery on 90% only ..let it 90% charge at 4-5days ..then after 4-5days you can charge battery at 100% ..but dont make it overcharged ..then set brigtness to 15%-20% ..dont scare display on mi a2 no need to set at 40%-50% brightness ..it already bright enough at 20% ..then you can feel you battery more better ..i not use battery saver on mi a2 and battery still good ..

  • global version supports QC 3.0 but indian version supports QC4.0 Redmi Note 5 Pro (india) supports QC 2.0 Redmi Note 5 Global supports QC 3.0 but xiaomi included 5V 2A charger in all these mobile

  • me 2, am selling the A2 & buying the Poco

  • No Anon, i had the Note 5 Global version only support 5v/2A, who told you it supported QC3 ?

  • read my comments well before commenting, i have the global version which doesn't support either the QC4 or QC3

  • People don't care about design.. Min spec sd660 n batt 3000 mah more..that's it

  • will it have dual volte >??

  • mi a2 or nokia x6

  • Thanks for your review has just ordered yesterday

  • Thanks bro 🌷

  • It is slim and nice 5.99 inch display sir

  • Just go ahead buy this phone, it's an Android 1 with no bloatware to drag phone performance, you'll love it and goodbye to Huawei for good, fully recommended phone.

  • I think a lot of your is really concern on the battery. Yet non of u owned the hp . Just give your comment base on the spec given. I owned the A2 it's great battery. Your guys say must put in 4000mAh . It's like putting a F1 racing engine on a bicycle. A2 DONT HAVE BLOATWARE running behind and consume lots of battery. It's very efficient. Trust me u will love it . But i do miss MIUI if you have been xiaomi user before

  • Not exactly 4000 mAh, but very close.

  • Why battery is not 4000 mah when there is everything performance base high spec. I hate every time i decided to buy a phone in this range and specs and suddenly i found a drawback in every wanaa by phone. Make it 4000 mah and i will buy it immediately.

  • will it have dual volte

  • eur 220 how come big price for you?apple has only 2716mah battery and why did you compare this with iphone x? this is midrange phone with better specification.

  • A perfect combo of specifications and yet at a lower price. Surely the show stopper device of the year. The back could have been even more grippier. But resolved this problem by applying a screen protector from GadgetShieldz.

  • Hi guys.. I want to buy this phone and I'm from Syria 🇸🇾 This means I'll get the global version.. Do you recommend it for me? My current phone is HUAWEI GR3 2017 Tell me about the fingerprint sensor, performance, camera, battery, display and so on. Thank you.

  • Thank you

  • So every company is emphasizing on models rather than its performance and graphic presentation and water/splash/dust proof resistance etc. all mobile phones are copying Apple's models. Mi A2 (MI 6X) has 3000 mah battery which is not sufficient because its camera will consume a lot, so be carefull before buying. last, quite expensive mobile phones.

  • which phone will capture better slow motion video mi a2 or nokia 6.1 plus

  • I bought this phone in first sale. Battery is not enough and it's draining fast. I feel i could have bought POCO F1.

  • everyone comment about battery and etc, but what about the desain is it good or meh?? i'm not yet hands on in this device, so im glad if u answer my question. and is it very slim or just my imagination?

  • A quick charge function is shorting battery life.

  • Global version doesn't support Qualcomm QC, just normal 5V/2A, but I will say it is only 5V/1A in actual, at least every phone I test actually just typical at 5V/1A. It is very ironic here, where their Global version of Redmi Note 5 AI actually support QC3.0.

  • I dont know why ..im just use it 1hour 30 minute ..from 90% drop 65% faster ..only watch you tube and use facebook ..why battery on mi a2 so bad 😫 why mi a2 do it right now ..this is year 2018 ..not year 2010 ..xiaomi make custumer very mad now ! Im so upset down ..this battery mi a2 make me so sad 😢😢

  • Cuz MIUI is well optimized

  • Dull displays = Yes kind of pale Slow Fingerprints sensor = just a little bit slow but still acceptable. Battery life really bad though compare with MIA1, unplug by 6am & by 4-5pm only residue of less than 10%, MIA1 can last whole day & still has 20% by 11pm.

  • It seems indian version is better than the global

  • Battery has been fine for me. Got the phone two weeks ago. Lasts for an entire day without a problem :)

  • Not for me. The fingerprint is fine and quick for me, and the screen is excellent, although it is difficult to see when you are wearing sunglasses, but that it is.

  • Proceef with update man

  • Android one

  • My Xiomi Mi A2 Global, does need charging every 6-7 hours. I think that is not soo good. Also charging phone over night, sometimes stops, needs unplugging and reconnecting to start charging!

  • I buy yesterday ,when I go to setup the phone it hangs, also reboot two times, with only work for opening crime, not download any apps and also system update, kindly help me to know is my phon is faulty or any other issue

  • No the reviewers were not honest in this part, the display is good, they said its bad in sun light but its not Also the audio output through aux is good n clear

  • Bro thanks for ur kind reply, am in Egypt and we have the global not the indian version :( The global version is supposed to support QC3 on paper but actually it doesnt, i have a Lenovo Qcharger up to 26 watt and official Xiaomi Qcharger V3, the phone can only charge at 10 watt 5v/2A :s Xiaomi lied to us bro, am giving up on them after 3 years of being a loyal fan Mi Max 1 Mi 5 Redmi note 4 Mi A1 Note 5 Pro Mi Mix 2S Mi A2 - Now

  • Plz be honest, i have the same phone, n for the same tasks you mentioned i have to charge 1 time by mid of the day! The battery is mediocre n the phone doesnt support QC3 only 10 watt charging, dont fool urself

  • Does it has a dull display and slow finger print issue like many tech reviewers were saying ???

  • 128 gb internal launch in india

  • I will the MiUi but one is also awesome with speed of god

  • how does battery backup if we are playing heavy games

  • Very poor Battery power ! No one go for it ...

  • Do they add some dual pixel feature in this phone?...

  • does anyones mi a2 overheats.example when charging goes to 42 degrees.light use (surfing) stays at 39 degrees.playing pubg for 30 min goes to 42 degrees.youtube 40 degrees 1080p.snapchat 40 degrees.can you guys determine if my phone is faulty.or is it normal just like mi a1 when it launched.after an update mi a1 got normal temp.performance doesnt change when overheating its fast.(mayby faster)

  • Miui or Android one??

  • No my phone doesnt lag when gets hot even 42 degrees.

  • nfc ?

  • Just download some gallery app in playstore, there's a lot. Second, numbers that have duplicates mean that the other one is saved from your sim and the other is shared to your phone storage. So find the settings where you can setup to show the phone storage only. Cause I believe there's no option to show the contacts on sim. So anyway, if you are resetting your phone then u need to transfer your contacts to your sim, or else they will be deleted. Always remember that.

  • Hi guys I think many over here taking about A2 battery doesn't owned the hp. They basically judge it base on number-.- . Serious A2 battery is good . I change from mi max 2 to A2 . Mi max 2 I can last over the day with 20-30% left after work around 10pm . A2 actually can do the same !! I do heavy Waze , call ,FB , WhatsApp and some gaming over the days for CoC ,PUBG etc . Amazing HP . The only thing I miss as a Xiaomi user is the MiUi .but exeperient of stock Android is amazing fast, very light , and enjoy the Google benefit . Your should buy and try . No joke ! Oh ya audio jack ? I don't really use that I use BT headphone . I hate. wire earphone anyway .

  • Did u buy or not . The battery is amazing Sanjay. I have been using for 1 week . End of day still have 30+40 percent

  • I would recommend the hp mi A2 .very good battery seriously .I use for heavy usage , calls , Waze, wassap , slight game , FB the whole day .it's still have ,40 percent at 10.30pm after my work . Yes it does t have audio jack . That's the only draw back. But now everyone moving forward for BT headphone

  • I have slight heat for heavy usage.like around 35degc. I think your unit got probelm .factory reset and try again

  • I have A2 .using for Waze , game 30 minutes a day, email , calls and whatsapping alot . End of working day 10.30 pm .I still got 40 percent . I am actually amaze

  • how many hours in gaming or On 4g ? continuously or on display

  • phone Is QC 4.0 Supported Bro. Comapny Didn't Provide QC 4.0 Charger IN Box please Buy Separately

  • If Your Game Is Not Lagged Then Ignore Heating Issue Because Its Snapdragon Chipset Phone And Heating Issue Is Normal Thing In Snapdragon Chip-sets Phones

  • Dear User, Heating Issue Is Common In All Snapdragon Devices its not a big issue when you want a performance phone. Please Confirm When You Play PUBG, You Feel Lag Ehn Phone Is Heat ?

  • Sleep mode is not working in my mi A2 phone

  • Hi, currently im using this Mi A2, this is my first time using stock android os, i have couple questions bout the os. First, why theres no GALLERY to view photos or images? I have to use Google Photos since this was not comfort for me to use. How can i show the GALLERY? Second, The Phonebook, in my phonebook it always shows 2 copy at the same name

  • This phone is really good in every aspect.But OVERHEATING Is a big issue it keeps getting hot when charging and in some weird times like opening camera playing pubg for 10 min gets to 41 celcius.Its probably an software prob just like with mi a1 Plsss Guys talk with xiaomi about this.LOVE YOU XIAOMI BUT OVERHEATING BRO IS A PROBLEM.Gets hot to fast.Device with light use stays at 38-39 celcius

  • I will buy either honor play or zenfone max pro M1 these are overall phones.if mi A2 had 3.5 mm jack and good battery i would buy but it doesn't have.

  • Phone overall good.. Only missing nfc and screen mirroring.. If this 2 have on it, can compare to high end phone..

  • I would rather buy the honor play for 20000(inr) what hapnd to xiaomi on realstic prices?

  • Which device has the best camera...huawei nova 3i or mi a2 ?

  • I'm using this phone as my second phone. The first is an iPhone 8. If you like an excellent camera on a phone look no further. I don't know what they are doing but they are making crazy good cameras...and the phone is stunning. The only thing I'm missing is gestures...

  • The camera is craaaazy good. I have an iPhone 8 and I'm using this as my second phone. Xiaomi is killing it with these cameras.

  • Yeah. But you've to wait till May 2019.

  • im waiting for this phone from feb now i really disappinted by this phone.battery capacity is too low.not giving QC with the box atleast xiomi should give QC3.0 inside the box.

  • The phone doesnt support QC3, only QC2 @ 10watt max :s

  • Those win the competition,you're right.

  • Oppo real me 1 is good but it's 2nd generation with upgraded hardware is coming (real me 2)so i will wait for that

  • Xiaomi is ignoring mi A2 because it is not their mi ui but android one but this will decrease your market as many xiaomi fans who are waiting for mi A2 are disappointed.other brands are giving more battery,3.5mm jack and sd card then why you are not giving is my question.see this battery drain test with other competitors and learn sth xiaomi

  • very very poor battery.immature steps

  • Could we connect earphones to it or not

  • I prefer honor play phone. In lower price range i prefer asus max pro M1 or redmi note 5 pro or oppo real me one.these are cheaper and better also in terms of features and functions.

  • What a worst battery i have seen in my life like Lenovo k5...

  • It is still not faster than the Redmi Note 5 in all the test: Even with Android One, it needs a lot of optimization.

  • Has a converter from C-type to 3.5 mm female, so your headphones can be used.

  • where you a prime member in amazon, because I don't see any option to buy it.

  • Red only in china varient

  • look at the sacrifices u make for ur choice if u go for mi a2 then u sacrifice a flagship processor - a stronger gpu - a stronger battery like 3 to 4 hours difference - headphone jac - memory card slot if u go for honor play u sacrifice the android one ( if u see it as an advantage ) - better camera -infrared

  • ordered it today at Amazon now am waiting, but why did mi not launched red , blue and rose color in India

  • Then what are your opinion for oppo find x & vivo nex.

  • am still confused with honor play and this, honor play is such a good phone, only camera difference and this is why am confused

  • Very true...

  • iPhone X rip off camera set up. Geez man,what is up with the Chinese ?They are not even trying to "Design" anything anymore.They just copy whatever the Koreans or Americans are doing.Convince me otherwise.....I'll wait......

  • i don't like this model so many lacks

  • 17000 me no 3.5mmheadphone jack,not even hybrid card,low battery life ugliest camera module popping out, proximity sensor issue,

  • Got tired of paying a lot of money. Really happy with the decision I made.

  • What kind of iphone user downgrade to mid range phone lol.

  • Again this version doesn't support for FM.

  • Well, sort of... you can get the phone with up-to 128GB internal storage (the price differences aren't that far apart from the costs of the added capacity of non-counterfeit proper quality SD cards). If you need a large removable storage, then the USB-C port is even more convenient than taking the SIM card tray out to remove the SD card -- just plug any USB-C pen drive directly to the phone and enjoy the extra capacity with no frills.

  • Only bad thing that Qualcomm 3.0 quick charge is not supported as said. Still Qualcomm 2.0. I tried fast charger 3.0, charging speed is the same, about 1800mah...

  • Finally got this. Battery is not bad. Reaches a day with no problem. Two days for me with wifi off when screen is off and also no data and GPS. My personal problem is that after using MIUI for many years, it looks naked to me. I miss all these MIUI features that made my life easy. I download and install useful applications I was using 5 years ago in my first Chinese mobiles . It's a fantastic phone besides all.

  • The only thing matters the most this days is battery and no point of reducing battery to 3000 mah.

  • NIce one but it does not have a headphone jack

  • Right decision and smart choice

  • How about the charging time using 5v2a adapter include in box?

  • ill choose max pro m1 instead of this

  • Nope, there isn't.

  • Um, I actually moved from an iPhone, so... yeah. I am just being honest. Learn to accept the fact, buddy.

  • I have this phone for almost two weeks already, and it is simply awesome! The battery lasts for an entire day without a problem, the camera is stunning, there is an IR blaster, and the quality of the speaker is great, much better than the Mi A1's speaker. The LED light is one color only, though, which is white.

  • Hello, I want to buy that phone, but I have some doubts ... it has led notifications (white or multicolor) ?? infrared port .. ?? the quality of the speaker is good, even if it is not stereo ... thank you very much friends!

  • The phone is gruesome. I really like it. The only down size is lack of SD card but as long as it have high internal memory noone should care.

  • Haha what a joke.. Probably you are Xiaomi fan.

  • and battery too.

  • Hi, Would like tell something about the mid range phones.. A2 received love and hate in same proprtiante sice it has relaesed as in martket Mi A2 comes with some awesome specs like android one programme, best dual camera set on the line of One plus 5T, Sanpdragon 660 and they have got the hate for exclusion of 3.5mm headphone, no micro sd card support delay of 6GB/128GB model, 3010 battery But guys trust me its gonna be a good buy if you see in Indian market snapdragon 660 chipset phone are namely Vivo X21(Approx : Rs.35990) Nokia 7 Plus (Approx : Rs.25999) and Mi A2 (Approx : Rs.17999) specifiaction of Nokia 7 Plus Except the Battery, Camera and 3.5mm headphone jack is the same. Speaking about Vivo X21 if you think to buy that its better to go with one plus 6.. So if you see Mi A2 is proving a better harware in the price offered.. Lets talk about the phone yes it is having some issues about the proximity sensors with the interface but as the updates rolls out it will get a good and better using experience.. Good camera with better detail specifiaction.. I will buy this phone..

  • is there memory expansion option in mi a2...

  • Nokia 7 plus is the best overall mid-range phone. There is honor play, it has flagship grade processor but it lacks in camera department but also it comes at a price about 2-3k cheaper than Nokia 7 plus. But I would still suggest nokia 7 plus because it's just great. You won't feel lagging in terms of performance or camera

  • Yeah but the real issue is with the lack of sd card slot

  • Lol relax it has snapdragon 660. It can handle just about anything. I don't mind headphone jack but yes they should've provided sd card. Otherwise it's a good overall phone with Android one

  • Then you probably did not try the Mi A2. The camera on my Mi A2 is incredible, and the battery lasts for a day without a problem.

  • Tried this phone in the store yesterday, the camera is bad just like mi a1, battery life is awful.

  • only camera should be good in a phone xiaomi? At least learn from other brand that What other things people love in their phone. bastard of iphone.

  • what "android one"??? common xiaomi stop fooling user in the name of faster Updates.Mi A1 got buggy software updates many times and late too.Nokia is supporting the real Android one.

  • 73 hours of battery rating what the fun Rip xiaomi

  • Honestly don't understand the "lack of headphone jack" issue... the adapter is included in the box, your wired headphones will work as usual -- they'll just have a very slightly longer cable, due to the small adapter. If you lose your headphones (along with the adapter) then rest assured you can easily replace it, it's a standard (and cheap to replace) adapter in which any brand will work.

  • That is what you get in cheap phones with proclaimed higher specs, somewhere or the other compromises are done definitely

  • Honey price &quality performance best

  • Then Redmi Note 5 AI, Nova 3i, Honor Play are better..

  • It would be 40% better but it´s not. With a bigger screen and more performance it´s sucking battery faster than the mi a1.

  • When I got phone in hand first time, I was not very happy in start with display quality, but after using for few days, I fall in love with phone, I know many users might be not very satisfied with this phone but I personally like it, its display is better than Redmi 5 pro, vivo v9, and all in mid range phones, I regularly change phones, used all range of phones, from mid-range to google pixel, This phone is made of premium quality, Actually Xiaomi have two category phones - one is MI series like MI 3, Mi 4, Mi4i, Mi5, Mi Max, Mi Mix, mix 2, MI A1 & A2 all these MI series phones are actually premium one second category is Redmi series like Redmi note series, Redmi series these are normal one As like Mi premium series - Mi A2's Display quality, camera quality and built quality with type C port, all are awesome, beside premium quality built, it comes with Best Android OS in market - Android One with promise of all latest updates by google Now Difference between MIUI and Android one (Simple Stock based android) is MIUI is no doubt good interface but its heavy with all bloatware, MIUI blocks 30-40% of ram of phone, example if you have 4gb ram in your phone, you will get around 2.5 free or less, rest used by MIUI and Android one is light compare to MIUI, with almost zero bloatware and guarantee updates by google, that's why phone is more speedy & smooth also better battery backup So in Mid-range you get best premium quality phone with best Android OS in it

  • Hi guys, what low budget phone can i buy that has a VERY GOOD camera, processor and battery. i don't wanna go for the A2 because of its lack of headphone Jack.

  • A2 better camera and performance....

  • But not bad

  • The display is not very bright.

  • Without the LTE Band 28, my next option for Android One is the Nokia 7 Plus

  • I like the idea of no 3.5mm thanks xiaomi no dangling wires for me and yeah im using LG sbh 780 so far best BT headset and xiaomi's Bluetooth receiver.

  • I'm not that person. Moreover, I don't intend to continue our conversation. If you feel that there are facts in my previous messages, take it or just leave it. Good Luck.

  • Heya the phone ive used until now have broken. Cannot decide Huawei p20 lite or Xiaomi Mi A2 which do you think is better? Thank you

  • Before we continue this conversation, are you the guy with the Mi 5s Plus, or some other anonymous poster?

  • Haha.. What a joke

  • Hi, I replied to your comment just because you spoke about Mi 2 and Mi 2S. Undoubtedly, it goes without saying that, they have to support their Android One devices, which is the part of Android licencing agreement with Google. Moreover, I trust that you've truly understood that I spoke about their other devices that run Android Oreo with MIUI. Parents care about all their children, not just one. I emphasize more about this just because PROJECT TREBLE simplifies the procedure to update Android to higher versions. But, Google has left this (updates) to the sole discretion of the mobile manufacturers. Hope that everyone knows about how PROJECT TREBLE works.

  • My MiA1 had the same issue, i think due to low quality weak Antenna.

  • Buy yourself some bluetooth earbuds $60.00 problem solved

  • From experience they definitely care, hopefully they give the Android One phones enough priority, since there are far more devices running MIUI they have to support.

  • Loving the phone so far but I have an issue with 4G reception not being as strong at home compared to my previous phone (iPhone 6s). Could it be that I have a defunct unit or is this normal?

  • Yes!!! an android one with good spec except battery cap but the best of all no 3.5mm I hate those dangling wires on my max 1 and 2 it's just collecting dust good thing I found a case that covers both 3.5mm and usb/type c the best case I can even open the cover.

  • What do expect at that price? I don't think iphone do much better. Anyway u invest in this phone and u will know how good it does

  • No FM Radio , No headfone jack , IP68... :(

  • Very Happy to know that Xiaomi really cares. Hope Xiaomi delivers timely updates to Android to their Oreo devices, since Oreo supports PROJECT TREBLE. All that glitters are not Gold. But the truth is that Real Gold also glitters. As said by Mahatma Gandhi, "There is no God higher than Truth".

  • My four years Mi4 game over last month already.I am using Mi Max2 now.I am waiting Android Oreo with MIUI 10 for Max2.But for future I would be buy next new Mi Mix3 for my truly use.

  • No NFC, no headfone jack, breadboard size. Simply disaster.

  • There are still 5 million Mi2 and Mi2s phones being used, that's why Xiaomi provided MIUI9 updates for them. It matters for a lot of users. Other Android OEMs don't even bother supporting older devices. I did some quick reading on Chinese forums, and they mention the dual camera problem. My understanding is qualcomm originated this technology on the SD821 chipset and Oreo update requires qualcomm drivers, so I'm not sure you can pin the entire delay on Xiaomi. They mention the ETA on Oreo update is November for China ROM. I don't own the device so I won't profess to know much about it, but this information might be useful to you. I haven't experienced this big.LITTLE bug. The performance cores on my devices work fine under heavy load. No battery discharge or overheating either, very happy with the SOTs in fact. Is this bug limited to the 5s Plus?

  • Actually I have a Mi5s Plus which also "has an update problem due to hardware specific to the device afaik". Do you know what is the hardware problem that the Xiaomi developers can't solve in this case?The dual camera driver. Don't laugh, that's the official Xiaomi reason for not updating,so please tell me how updating(and spending time on a obsolete device) the Mi2 isn't just marketing? About what's usntable in the latest stable firmware:a "little" bug there,a "little" battery fast discharge and overheating issue,a "little" problem with the big.LITTLE management (the high power cores are virtually always sleeping even when they are clearly needed). Also please don't put words into my mouth,I never said or implied that I hate Xiaomi or MIUI(It's a phone, normal people don't hate phones or phone brands). I just said that at the moment Xiaomi is a snail when it comes to OS upgrades (if you buy Xiaomi make sure it has the latest Android version because future upgrades are not guaranteed and usually come very late) and that there are usually problems with those updates. BTW.What I buy with my money is exclusively my business.

  • Pretty close between Mi A2 and RN5. The selfie pic of Mi8 comes out surprisingly dark and blurry. lol @ her saying the phone should fit in her small purses, I've heard that multiple times before. Very important criterion for the ladies.

  • wait bro its xiaomi's andoid one you have to wait for this years end or nxt year not by nokia and also by asus...yesss my boy asus realeases p for m1 divices yaa its stock but not in andoid one program its in beta mode not stable.

  • I was interested in purchasing of this phone, but... no 3.5 mm jack - no purchase. As simple as that...

  • Xiaomi MiA2 Black Colour 128gb Storage/6gb Ram Black Camera 12+20Mp Selfie Camera 20Mp

  • xiaomi note 5 Ai selfie win compare to mi 8, mi A2a and redmi 6

  • Has Gorilla Glass 5.

  • Apple is the only true luxury brand in the smartphone space. From a shareholder's perspective, AAPL is close to the perfect investment. Most profitable company in the world with the largest cash pile ever. While initially slow to act, Cook has really ramped up returning cash to shareholders via dividends and humongous buybacks. The trillion dollar valuation and lack of innovation in recent years are worrying though. Would love to invest in Huawei too. From a business perspective it's the closest thing to Apple in China, healthy margins and cash rich. The innovation culture is very strong, reminiscent of Apple under Jobs. Ren has stated repeatedly Huawei will never go public, but Xiaomi's Lei said the same thing a few years ago. We'll see.

  • On China's own XDA forum, QeeTo (7to.cn), there are a ton of other brands' users requesting developers to port MIUI or Flyme for their phones, very few requests to port EMUI. If you hate MIUI, get rid of it and use a custom ROM. Don't buy the brand again. Simple as that.

  • No NFC?

  • It's not "just marketing" to a real user like me. Most Android OEMs support their flagships for about 2 years, and less for budget/midrange devices. Do you actually own both the Mi5s and 5s plus?

  • Snail? Looks like all you've used is the Mi5s, which has an update problem due to hardware specific to the device afaik MIUI and Flyme are widely recognized as the best OEM skins by Chinese users who've used them on various devices for many years. MIUI China ROMs have weekly developer ROM updates, beta testers get daily updates. Huawei was notorious for abandoning updates early on many non-flagship phones in 3 previous generations. They've improved a lot in the past year, but one good move does NOT make a track record. I had 3 devices - Redmi Note 5, Redmi 5 Plus and Mi Max - running Nougat. In months of use, there's been only one freeze-up. You're gonna have to be more specific to what you mean by 'unstable'.
