Xiaomi is yet to launch its smartphones officially
in the U.S. However, its smartphones are available in the country through third
retailers. The Mi A1 is the newest Xiaomi phone that has arrived in the U.S. It
is available for purchase through an eBay retailer.
On eBay, a retailer with a positive feedback rating
of 99.3 percent is selling the factory unlocked edition of the Xiaomi Mi A1
with a pricing of US$ 224.99. The smartphone is available in limited quantities.
At the time of writing this post, only the Gold color variant was available for
buying.
The Xiaomi Mi A1 is the first Android One smartphone
from the Chinese manufacturer. Hence, it is running on the stock edition of
Android OS. It was launched with Android Nougat in September 2017. The Android
8.0 Oreo has been already rolled out for the smartphone. The very same
smartphone was launched in China as Mi 5X.
Xiaomi Mi A1 includes a 5.5-inch Full HD display
that is protected by Gorilla Glass 3. The Snapdragon 625, 4 GB of RAM and 3,080
mAh battery powers the smartphone. It comes with 64 GB of storage and a microSD
card slot. It has a dual camera setup that includes a pair of 12-megapixel
snappers and a 5-megapixel selfie camera.
The only difference between the two phones is that the Mi A1 does not
feature MIUI 9 that is found on the Mi 5X.
