If you love Xiaomi smartphone but do not really like their MIUI OS, then you will love Xiaomi's latest Mi A2 which runs purely on stock Android 8.1 Oreo. It is also important to note that like its predecessor, Mi A2 is an Android One smartphone which means its Android OS will be updated almost instantaneously as there is no skin overlay or whatsoever. So no more waiting or delaying to get the latest updates.

Huge, gorgeous display to do more.

Once you come eye-to-eye with Xiaomi Mi A2, you will be amazed by the gorgeous 5.99-inch IPS LCD FHD+ display with an aspect ratio of 18:9. Those who are still in love with capacitive buttons (like me) will be disappointed to know that they are gone now. So you will have to get used to the on-screen navigation keys. Gorilla Class 5 with 2.5D edge is used to protect the display while complementing the curved back metal design. The fingerprint scanner sits on the back of the device.

Those who love Xiaomi know that their smartphones are ultra-impressive and affordable. Under the hood, Mi 2 is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 with the combination of either 4GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage or 6GB or RAM together with 128GB of internal storage. If you intend to get a Xiaomi Mi A2, I suggest that you opt for the top variant as there is no expandable microSD storage which is really a bummer that could turn out to be a deal-breaker.
