Xiaomi Mi A2 review

02 August 2018
The Xiaomi Mi 6X has finally gone global and we have a play date with the international Mi A2. Some big shoes it has to fill - the Mi A1 was such a well-rounded yet affordable smartphone that it would regularly feature in our review conclusions as the main alternative for a wide range of competitors. Can the Mi A2 top that?

                Good day. I have questions to those who owned this phone because im planning to buy. These are my questions:
                1. Is the screen good in outdoors?
                2. Does its camera perform well in lowlight? Can it capture bright signage/logos or banners in the background at night? Or does it blowout the highlights?
                3. Is the camera capable of snapping moving subjects? Is the shutter speed fast?
                4. Is the video camera fast in focusing subjects? Does it focus-hunt while recording videos?
                5. Is the selfie camera good enough at night?
                6. Is the phone usability stable? Does it have major bugs?

                Sorry for asking a lot. Im planning to buy this budget phone for its camera but i want to make sure it takes decent photos in lowlight for social media "as the review" mentioned. Im working at a bar in europe that's why lowlight pics are important to me. Hope someone who owns the phone answers me. Thank you.

                    This product comes with number of problems. Forget Rs. 17000 this phone not also deserves Rs. 7000. Buy a sumsung phone of Rs. 6000 that is 100 times better than Mi A2.

                    I have ordered Mi A2 phone from MI registered website on Thursday sale at 12 pm. Which I received from Bluedart on Friday evening itself.

                    And i started using this phone from 11:30 pm of Friday night that too for an hour only.

                    Problem 1: You wont believe the next day thrice I charged my Mi A2 phone because the battery was quickly going down. Even after charging 100% I used my watsapp for half an hour and the battery went back to 85, 75 then 60%. Shocking this is not even happening with my 4 years old sumsung phone.

                    Problem 2: My phone started hanging. I havent even taken all the data in my phone yet and it started hanging.

                    Problem 3: While sleeping i keep my data network off so to avoid notifications. I slept for one hour and then noticed that the Mi A2 new phone was heating so badly. I thought it will just blast. I had to quickly switch off the phone. It was sooo damn heating.

                    It is super shock that the new model is giving these many problems. I paid Rs. 16999 and such stupid phone. I had escalated this issue in MI customer service team but they are not ready to accept it, they denied to give me a replacement.

                    Forget about replacement now i a want my money back. I want the refund. But there is nobody to help me in this.

                    I humbly request others to not waste your money. Please do

                      The worst xiaomi phone I've ever experienced..
                      LITERALLY THE WORST PHONE EVER IN THIS WORLD!
                      U KNOW WHY??? Because of the worst WI-Fi connectivity. Everything else is quiet impressive, But The wifi.... 😠😠😠 it keep itself connected..but the data up-down stops repeatedly..
                      This problem is so risky while ur using the navigation or downloading anything important..
                      On the other hand, the other models of xiaomi posts their updates for firmware like every 2 weeks or 1 months.But this one... My God I'm really disappointed. My money was a total waste..

                                  A 3000mAh Battery is bad?
                                  Its all about the handling of Idle and Working time, and the powerconsumption of Vibration and the Display.

                                  There are so many examples like that in technology, where ads make use of numbers and take them to sell shit. This capacity is used in drillingmachines to make them spin hours in neutral position. Hence, drilling into a wall will make them drain battery much faster.. just saying as a thought for the broad publicity..

                                  IPhone X - as a flagship, and tons of other phones, have even LESS than 3000mAh Batteries built in.
