Like other Xiaomi’s other handsets, Indian customers are curious about Xiaomi Mi A1. However, it will also be interesting to see what the customers react to stock Android instead of the company’s popular MIUI operating system. Please tell that Xiaomi started as a software company. The MIUI was the first product of the company. Now the company is bringing a new handset on a completely new platform.
The company’s new series has also started with Xiaomi Mi A1. But the future of the series will depend on the phone launched on Tuesday on the response from customers.
It is also clear from the launch of Xiaomi Mi A1 that Google is still committed to its Android One program. It is possible that Xiaomi’s new Android One phone is one of the initial handsets of this series. Apart from stock Android experience, Xiaomi Mi A1 is the company’s first dual camera smartphone in India. Its specifications are strong and the company is also calling it a flagship smartphone. We got Xiaomi Mi A1 handset before launch. At first glance, we felt this handset like this …
Xiaomi Mi A1 Design
At first glance, the finishing and look of Xiaomi Mi A1 makes it clear that it is a device of the premium Me range. Xiaomi’s budget much better than the Redmi series. The front panel looks beautiful due to metal unibody and 2.5D curved edge glass. The curved edges give comfortable feeling in the palm.
There is no branding on the front which is good than our thought. You will see Xiaomi’s logo and Android One’s tag on the back side of the phone. Xiaomi Mi A1 will be built in India itself and will come with the tag of Made in India. However, the initial units are being brought from another country. The antenna line hides. And its design is very different from Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (Review). In our view, Xiaomi Mi A1 is the best feeling phone in the current Xiaomi product lineup.
Software experience is completely different. But Xiaomi Mi A1 does not have a new design language. It still gives a feeling of old Xiaomi product. If seen, it seems to be a small version of Xiaomi Mi Max 2.
Xiaomi Mi A1 Specification and Software
We can say that Xiaomi Mi A1 is an international version of Xiaomi Mi 5X launched in China last month. The specifications of both smartphones are almost the same. The Xiaomi Mi A1 has a 5.5-inch full-HD display with a 2.5D glass protection. It has 4 GB RAM with an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor. Inbuilt storage is 64 GB and it will be possible to use microSD card if needed. The Mi A1 comes with a hybrid dual sim design. If you do not use microSD card, you will be able to apply two nano sim. The fingerprint scanner is on the back. The smartphone has a USB Type-C port and the battery is 3080 mAh.
There are two camera sensors in the handset on the back. The company is also marketing this feature vigorously. You will get two sensors of 12 megapixels. One is a wide angle lens with F 2.2 aperture and the second F2.6 aperture telephoto lens. The same camera setup was also seen in the flagship Xiaomi M6. Due to the telephoto lens, you will also get a 2 x optical zoom which is a worth worthing feature in this price. The camera app also has a portrait mode for Bokeh Effects like the iPhone 7 Plus and OnePlus 5. The front panel of Mi A1 has a 5 -megapixel camera which comes with real time beautification.
The Mi A1 has Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 3.5mm audio jack with 4G VoLTE. Like other Xiaomi’s other smartphones, the Mi A1 also has an infrared ammere at the top. Xiaomi has also given a separate headphone employee for better audio in this phone.
Talking about the software, this phone of Xiaomi will run on Android 7.1.2 Nougat. It is today the latest Android OS for non-Gougle smartphones. This is an Android one device, so Google will get a guarantee of software updates for at least 18 months. This means that the phone is also sure to get Android 8.0 Oreo update.
Apart from Google brand apps, Xiaomi also has several software features in Mi A1, such as Mi Remot and Mi Store Apps. It is good that Xiaomi’s fans will not miss the company’s software feature.
Xiaomi mi a1 initial idea
Xiaomi Mi A1 is a very powerful handset in terms of performance and software. The phone reacted rapidly to our touch input. It did not slow down even while switching between the apps. The viewing angles of the full-HD display are fine. It is also crisp, but is more reflective than our choice. You will not worry about the unwanted app with MIUI.
Xiaomi has its own camera app in Mi A1, because Google’s default camera app does not have dual camera support yet. It launches rapidly and also autofocus in a pinch. Xiaomi claims that the Mi A1 takes the best portrait shot with the help of dual cameras. By the way, we will discuss in detail about the general performance of the phone and the camera quality.
Google has high hopes with Xiaomi from Mi A1. This time Android One has been made part of a slightly expensive -price handset. In such a situation, the reaction of the customers will be eagerly awaited. Let us know that Android One was first launched as a cheap device worldwide.
The Xiaomi Mi A1 of Rs 14,999 gets stock Android with a well-known Xiaomi design. However, the road will not be easy for this Google’s Android One device. Because already in the market, the Moto G5S Plus with two rear cameras is available with stock Android at almost the same price.
