gustang, 11 Sep 2022Theres no way xiaomi will use a weak quadcore A22 thats so ... moreWell. It has a hd+ disllay rather than fhd+, so it's clearly aimed at people who can't tell the difference.

    Theres no way xiaomi will use a weak quadcore A22 thats so weak even for 2015 standard.

    They can use Unisoc tiger or even JLQ if they really have to make it cheap. Tho i expect no less than SD680. But clearly not mtk A22, its 2022 ffs

      Good design
      Meh CPU


      Didn't realy care both the display or the camera. Memory is aslo understandable since it use Go version.

      But it would be better if they choose octa core like A25/SC series
      Or atleast Unisoc T310 (quad core A75 & A55) which much better than A22

          annonymous, 05 Sep 2022no they don't. I am using Mi A2 since 2019 and last up... moreYour Mi A2 received July 2021 patch, which match the promised 3 years security patch. Android One phones are promised 2 OS and 3 years security updates. Mi A2 was launched in July 2018, so July 2021 security patch should be the last.

            annonymous, 05 Sep 2022no they don't. I am using Mi A2 since 2019 and last up... moreI have my Mi A3 for 2.5 years now and it has been serving me well. Performance is not mind blowing but adequate for my use case. The battery life is still amazing at 87% capacity according to Accubattery.

            My A3 never got the dreaded boot loop after each OS update. I like to wait for at least 2 weeks before installing any OS update. I believe waiting is best applied to all phones because the bugs reported by early updaters are usually ironed out after 2 weeks. I also practice it on my Samsung A52 and on my wife's Iphone 11 Pro Max.

              rizki1, 05 Sep 2022The phone is Android One and Xiaomi promise it, even Mi A2 ... moreno they don't. I am using Mi A2 since 2019 and last update received was Android 10 July security patch. They do not provide quality update as they should. Many update received by Mi A series have complains of boot loop and other issues.

                      Don't know why people have to take the P1ss out of these budget blowers it will be fine for the average Joe to use that doesn't care to much for the other stuff other than calls and some light browsing. It's cheap it will sell well fact!

                        potato4k, 04 Sep 2022Wow, Helio A22, quad core ancient A53 cores. This thing wil... moreTCL 305 I think it is utilises the A22 chip set and operates fine

                          Worst thing is they are giving dual speakers in Redmi A1, but not in Redmi 9 or 10. Xiaomi used to give IR blaster till Redmi 8, but when Redmi 9 (India) came I see nothing like that. Xiaomi is trying to save the sensors (even compass too) on Cheaper phones. For some people it takes a lot to buy a smartphone. I still remember back in 2020 we lost our only smartphone cause it burner down cauz of a fault in electricity and then whole family decide to buy a better phone. And It was Redmi 9 (India). I thought Redmi 8 had IR blaster and Compass sensor and boom Redmi 9 just doesn't have it 😅 and no Type-C even (single speaker too, which is not loud enough at all when I play music I always feel that there are just higher frequency and tuning is not natural at all, but pathetically when someone else plays songs in their phone and I have to watch a video or some the difference is apparent the cheaper phone sounds too less ) . Xiaomi is getting crappy nowadays. If you got less money try to go with realme (but realme's USB port is upside down so remember that too.)

                            This better be stupidly cheap, as it belongs to 4 years ago.

Software support should have stopped in July 2022 but it received Aug 2022 security patch 2 weeks ago. Now I am curious how long Xiaomi going to send security patches after the promised 3 years.

                                        The way they used a camera island design for a low-end smartphone akin to that of Xiaomi 11... Xiaomi really IS a clown. 🤡
