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.

          a simple demand, 19 Aug 2018Death to the NotchNotch on this phone does not bother me at all. And believe me, I was a notch hater the minute it showed on the first phone.
          I just hide the notch with an app. And when Android P brings notch hiding function to this phone, it will be even better.

                Jeff, 20 Aug 2018This phone good or not for gaming.. Pls answer thanks..You can play various graphics intensive games in normal settings. You may experience slight lagging while playing games with heavy graphics. But overall it is a very good device.

                You can also go for Note 5AI which has better processor and better gpu for gaming.

                  DOA because of the notch.

                        Might not the best, but cheap, good camera, awesome battery, dual sim with memory card, this might be the best phone for work.

                            ZloiYuri, 17 Aug 2018IR blaster but no NFC. Well... Dumb.Ever used ir blaster? It's one of the most underappreciated feature of Mi phones

                              Not worth getting it for SD625, an outdated chip and if one needs battery life Note 5 pro should do for them. Asus M1 pro with updated camera version (6gb) also better alternative. Niether mi a2 nor the a2 lite are any worth loads of missing hardware features on A2 and outdated processsor on lite says it all. By the time one buys A2, lite will be heading down into 2019. Think before you buy this cheap stuff Xiaomi is just some how getting rid of its old soc's and they are awful with core OS updates, bar the miui skin.

                                    This is an incomplete review. WE WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE FM RADIO. If it doesn't have it, is it possible to activate it with the *#*#.....??? Is it built in the hardware and android one doesn't allow it??
