Xiaomi's Mi A2 and Mi A2 Lite smartphones launched

Spain, July 25: Here is a good news for smartphone lovers, Xiaomi's Mi A2 and Mi A2 Lite smartphones have been launched at the Xiaomi global launch event in Spain.

The event was focused on Europe but the company did reveal that Mi A2 will be launched in India, while Mi A2 Lite will not hit the shelves in the country.

The highlight of the two smartphones, apart from the stock Android 8.1 Oreo, are the vertically aligned dual rear cameras and the battery optimizations that the company claims to ensure day-long battery life.

The Mi A2 is the successor of the Mi A1 smartphone launched last year in India as the first Android One smartphone from Xiaomi. Like the Mi A1 was the Android One variant of the Mi 5X, the Mi A2 is the Android One variant of the Mi 6X. The Mi A2 Lite, on the other hand, sports more modest specifications.
