Xiaomi Mi A2 128GB Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
4.0/5
Verdict
The Xiaomi Mi A2 retails for Rs 16,999 and faces stiff competition from mainly three smartphones currently available in India – the 6GB RAM variant of the ASUS Zenfone Max Pro M1 (review), the company`s own Redmi Note 5 Pro (review) and the recently-launched Honor Play (first impressions). Now, the Mi A2 is backed by a superior processor than both the Redmi Note 5 Pro and the ASUS Zenfone Max Pro M1 and therefore, it should fare better in the longer run. That said, performance-hungry users might be better off with the Honor Play, which ships with Huawei`s flagship Kirin 970 SoC.On the so...

The Xiaomi Mi A2 retails for Rs 16,999 and faces stiff competition from mainly three smartphones currently available in India – the 6GB RAM variant of the ASUS Zenfone Max Pro M1 (review), the company`s own Redmi Note 5 Pro (review) and the recently-launched Honor Play (first impressions). Now, the Mi A2 is backed by a superior processor than both the Redmi Note 5 Pro and the ASUS Zenfone Max Pro M1 and therefore, it should fare better in the longer run. That said, performance-hungry users might be better off with the Honor Play, which ships with Huawei`s flagship Kirin 970 SoC.On the software side of things, the Mi A2 regains its lead as the smartphone is a certified Android One device, which means that the handset will get guaranteed updates for the next two years, including the latest Android 9.0 Pie. Camera-wise, you could pick up either of the four smartphones and be content with your decision. However, I felt that the images I clicked with the Mi A2 were a tad bit better than what the competition had to offer.That being said, the Mi A2`s battery life left me wanting for more and I wasn`t thrilled with the company`s decision to axe the headphone jack either. Lest I forget, the smartphone`s camera bump is aesthetically unappealing too.Now, if you can look past these quibbles, then Xiaomi`s Mi A2 comes out on top when compared to the Redmi Note 5 Pro and the ASUS Zenfone Max Pro M1. However, the Honor Play makes things difficult for the new smartphone, as it seemingly offers better performance, expandable storage and a more powerful battery. That said, we`re yet to review the Honor Play and a clearer picture will only emerge after we`re done with that. The Mi A2`s camera capabilities, stock Android and the promise of timely platform updates are clear winners for sure, and if these aspects appeal to you, you can go ahead and pick up the latest from Xiaomi — it won`t disappoint you.
Pros
- Excellent cameras
- Solid performer
- Assured Android updates for the next two years
Cons
- No headphone jack
- Battery life is average
- Pronounced camera bump

The Xiaomi Mi A1 was fondly called the ‘'poor man's DSLR'' when it was launched, as the handset took excellent photos. A year later, the smartphone's successor takes its legacy forward by offering what I believe to be the best cameras on a smartphone priced south of Rs 20K. But, before I dive into any more details, let's talk specs. Towards the back, the Xiaomi Mi A2 sports a dual camera setup with 12MP and 20MP sensors, both with f/1.75 apertures. The primary 12MP shooter utilises a Sony IMX486 sensor whereas the assisting 20MP shooter makes use of a Sony IMX 376 module. On the front, the handset comes equipped with a 20MP f/2.2 aperture selfie camera that makes use of Sony's IMX 376 sensor.

Software and performance

For software, the Xiaomi Mi A2 runs a stock version of Android Oreo from the get-go. Since the handset is part of Google's Android One initiative, you will get a no-frills Android experience from the device. As a matter of fact, outside of Google's suite of necessary apps, you'll only get four other pre-loaded apps on the smartphone from Xiaomi. Moreover, there's just one gesture supported by the smartphone upon boot, which launches the camera from any screen if you double-tap the power button quickly. Everything considered, I'm sure the Mi A2's no-nonsense software will find a lot of takers.

I'll say this right out the gate – I'm not a fan of the Xiaomi Mi A2's design. Although the smartphone makes use of a unibody metal build which offers an excellent in-hand feel, the design of the smartphone doesn't really excite. Don't get me wrong, coming from the Xiaomi Mi A1, you'll find a day-and-night difference in the smartphone's style. In fact, the new phone is much slimmer and has a curvier rear as compared to its predecessor. However, the Mi A2 looks almost the same as many other Xiaomi handsets launched this year with its curvy back, vertically aligned dual-cameras, a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor and the ‘MI' branding at the bottom.

Battery life and more
+
The Xiaomi Mi A2 sips juice from a 3,010mAh battery which is just a hair shy of its predecessor's 3,080mAh cell. However, the Mi A2 is sporting a significantly bigger display this time around and consequently, the smartphone barely managed to see me through the end of a day. During my usage, I was getting just around three hours of screen on time which included playing casual games like Clash Royale, browsing through my social media feeds, listening to music and watching videos on YouTube. Moreover, in our standard 91mobiles battery test, the handset managed to play a 720p video on loop for a just little over ten hours, which is an average result.
