Last year, Xiaomi launched the Mi A1 smartphone,
making it the first smartphone from the China-based company to run on the stock
Android operating system instead of its own MIUI. Now, the company is working
on its successor — Mi A2.
The Xiaomi Mi A2, which will be the global variant
of the Mi 6X, has been leaked online a couple of time. Recently, folks at Tech
Configurations created concept renders of the Mi A2 smartphone based on the
rumors surrounding the device. Now, the phone’s specifications have been leaked
online.
According to the latest leak, the smartphone will
come with a 5.99-inch Full-HD+ full-screen display with 2160 x 1080 pixels
screen resolution and 18:9 aspect ratio. Under the hood, the phone will
reportedly be powered by Qualcomm‘s Snapdragon 626 octa-core processor along
with 4GB RAM and 64GB of internal storage.
The device will come with a dual camera setup at the
back, just like its predecessor. The Mi A2 will feature a 20-megapixel primary
sensor with f/2.0 aperture and an 8-megapixel secondary sensor with f/1.8
aperture at the back, along with an LED flash.
The camera is expected to support phase detection
autofocus (PDAF) as well as Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS). On the front side,
the phone will come with a 20-megapixel camera sensor with f/2.0 aperture for
taking selfies and video calling.
As of the software, the smartphone will be running
the stock version of Android 8.1 Oreo operating system out-of-the-box. Also,
just like its predecessor, the Mi A2 will be a part of Google’s Android One
program. The smartphone is said to be powered by 2,910mAh battery, which is
smaller in capacity compared to the Mi A1.
The new leak regarding the phone’s specifications is
in line with the TENAA listing of the Xiaomi Mi 6X. The listing also suggested
a 5.99-inch display and 2,910mAh battery. The certification database also
revealed that the smartphone could measure 158.88 × 75.54 × 7.3 mm. And, the
design of the smartphone is said to be similar to that of Xiaomi Redmi Note 5
Pro.
Currently, there’s no information available
regarding the phone’s launch, pricing or availability. However, we expected the
Mi A2 to get launched sometime around July given that the Mi A1 was launched in
July last year.
