Xiaomi recently launched the Mi 6X in China. The company will soon launch the same smartphone in India with a different name. Just like the Mi 5X was launched as Mi A1 in India, the Mi A2 will basically be China's Mi 6X. The latter smartphone will be powered by Android One and will run on a stock version of the latest Android 8.1 Oreo. The phone is expected to launch by the end of this month.

Specifications

As far as the specifications are concerned, the Xiaomi Mi A2/Mi 6X features a 5.99-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1080x2160 pixels and an 18:9 aspect ratio.

Price and Availability

The Xiaomi Mi A2 is expected to be launched at a starting price of Rs. 14,999. The base variant will come with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage.

As for the availability, the phone is expected to launch by the end of this month and will be available for sale soon after. In Xiaomi's traditional manner, the Mi A2 might go through a few flash sales in its initial days in the country.
