The Xiaomi A1 is said to be the name of the next
Android One smartphone. Earlier reports said the Xiaomi Mi A1 will be a variant
of the Mi 5X running stock Android but a new leak says otherwise.
A Weibo user posted images he believes are of the
Xiaomi Mi A1 and they reveal a phone with a full screen display. There are no
bezels on the side, and those on the forehead and chin are significantly thin,
even thinner than that of the Galaxy Note 8.
If this is the real design of the Xiaomi Mi A1, then
it isn’t a variant of the Mi 5X but a completely different phone. The Weibo
user also included a RF exposure page that shows the Mi A1 listed alongside
other Xiaomi smartphones. Sadly the device has been pulled off the site now.
Specification details of the A1 are unknown and we
hope more details appear soon. Xiaomi has an event scheduled for September 5
and while the guess is that it may be the Mi MIX 2 or global release of the Mi
5X, it may be a different device entirely. A key feature of the phone is that
it will have dual cameras.
