Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite review

15 August 2018
Xiaomi wanted to expand its reach beyond its few official markets and it had to do just one thing - give up on MIUI. It all started with the Mi A1 - Xiaomi's first Android One smartphone, and now not one but two sequels are coming to replace it - Mi A2 and Mi A2 Lite. Our Mi A2 review is done, so today we will be taking the Mi A2 Lite for a spin.

    I really don't mean to be nasty, but do these reviewers realize that some people still buy smart phones for the purpose of making and receiving phone calls, amongst other things? It's all about cameras and audio and practically nothing is said about core functions such as dual sim management, wi-fi capabilities etc.

      There are issues with Sim 2. When it is enabled for data only and text and calls is left for Sim 1, incoming calls don't get through on Sim 2 and texts cannot be sent from Sim 2

        Folks,

        Needed your advice here:

        I'm planning to buy a phone for my wife under Rs 10,000. My wife's usage is basic and no gaming. I have shortlisted the following two options:

        1. Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro (4GB/64GB) Rs 9,999
        2. Xiaomi Redmi 7S (3GB/32GB) Rs 9,999

        Both are currently priced the same on Xiaomi website here in India. Xiaomi Redmi 7S has a better processor, but lower RAM (3GB) and lower memory (32GB). The Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro has a slower processor but higher RAM (4GB) and higher memory (64GB).

        Which of the two phones would perform better for basic/simple usage?

        Thanks

                        I have been using this phone for last 3 months and 1st month it was working good but within month or my two A2 lites battery started to drain very fast. My colleague who bought same phone & having same problem. Screen brightness is not good either. All the phones I have ever used this would be the worst one. Please do not waste your money on this phone.

                              i think i'll go for this phone, right now its , what i liked because its very solid phone, and most of that it yet small and compact , nowdays it's very rare to see phone like this size have 4000mah with solid hardware packages , yes redmi note 5 maybe best phone ever, but its large large large

                                  AverageUser, 25 Dec 2018Should i get a2 lite or asus max pro m1? Either Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 or M2 both are better than Mi A2 lite. For me I will pick M2 because of better chipset. If U resides in Malaysia Max Pro M1 and M2 are available with not so much different in price.

                                      Really like this phone. I moved from the Xiaomi Note 4x to this. It feels like the same phone evolved. The feeling the hand is perfect, battery life is as good as the Note 4x (unkillable). Androidone though it last ls some of the features of MiUI (gesture to screenshot, double space, smart battery saving) it has great native Android features and of course - guaranteed upgrades. The camera is marginally better than the Note 4x but for me it's not a show stopper. The dual SIM AND SD card tray is gold. This phone is serious value for money.
