Indian e-commerce giant Flipkart finally launched its very own smartphone called Billion Capture+. The Made in India phone is already up for sale and boasts pretty interesting features at an affordable price. The Flipkart Billion Capture+ is likely to face fierce competition and it is only logical for enthusiasts to pit the device against the popular Android budget phones.

When we speak about budget smartphones, one smartphone which immediately comes to our mind is Xiaomi Mi A1, which boots pure stock Android. So, how does the Flipkart Billion Capture+ fare against the Xiaomi Mi A1? Let’s find out.
Display & Design
Both Billion Capture+ and Mi A1 feature a conventional design of a 16:9 display surrounded by thick bezels and elegant metallic frame. The dual camera sensors and fingerprint scanner are rear mounted on both the devices. A major difference between the two is the use of navigational buttons, while Billion Capture+ comes with on-screen buttons, the Xiaomi A1 has capacitive buttons.

In terms of display, both smartphones offer a 5.5-inch 1080 X 1920 Full HD display with similar pixel density. While the devices may seem pretty identical, Xiaomi’s Mi A1 is slimmer and lighter and flaunts a premium metallic unibody design in comparison to cheaper metal and plastic construction of Flipkart device.
Camera
As the name suggests camera is supposedly the key highlight of the Billion Capture+. The device comes with 13MP dual rear cameras, – one RGB, the other monochrome sensor accompanied by a dual tone flash. Capture+ also comes with “Bokeh mode” and a “Super Night” mode for clicking clear pictures in extreme low light conditions. The front of the device has an 8MP selfie clicker.

In comparison, Mi A1 comes with two 12 MP cameras – a 26mm, f/2.2 aperture wide-angle sensor and a 50mm, f/2.6 aperture telephoto sensor, coupled with a dual-tone LED flash. There is a 5MP front camera with face detection for selfies. The Billion Capture+ may have better specs but it is still way too early to predict which camera is better.
