Xiaomi Mi A2 (Mi 6X)

Xiaomi Mi A2 / Mi 6X (2018) — The Pure Android Mid-Ranger That Got Everything Right

The Xiaomi Mi A2, also known as the Mi 6X in China, was co-developed by Xiaomi and Google as part of the Android One program and officially released in July 2018. It quickly became one of the most well-regarded mid-range smartphones of its era, combining flagship-inspired camera hardware with a clean, bloatware-free Android experience at a price that left competitors scrambling.

The phone features a 5.99-inch Full HD+ IPS LCD display with 1080 x 2160 pixels and 403 ppi pixel density, an all-metal unibody body, and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection. It is powered by the Snapdragon 660 chipset paired with up to 6GB of RAM and up to 128GB of internal storage — solid numbers for a mid-range phone in 2018.

The camera system is the undisputed highlight of the Mi A2, featuring a dual 12MP and 20MP rear camera setup using Sony IMX486 and Sony IMX376 sensors, alongside a 20MP front camera with Sony IMX376 sensor — delivering stunning photos and a powerful selfie experience that punched well above the phone’s price class.

The Mi A2 runs on Android One, making it the first mid-range Xiaomi smartphone to remove the 3.5mm audio jack and microSD slot in favour of a cleaner, more streamlined design. The 3010mAh battery supports Quick Charge 3.0 fast charging to keep downtime to a minimum.

Available in Black, Gold, Blue, Red, and Rose Gold, the Xiaomi Mi A2 launched in India starting at Rs. 16,999 — representing outstanding value for its class and cementing its place as one of the best mid-range smartphones of 2018.
