Xiaomi Mi A2 Red Edition: Specifications and Features

Except for the new paint job, the Mi A2 Red Edition features similar specifications as the original Mi A2. The phone sports a 5.99-inch Full HD+ display on the front with 18:9 aspect ratio. Internally, it has the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chipset, which we saw on other smartphones such as the Nokia 7 Plus and Vivo V11 Pro. The Mi A2, at the moment, is available in a single 4GB/64GB storage variant, but Xiaomi has already confirmed that it will be launching 6GB/128GB storage version of the Mi A2 in India very soon. Notably, the Mi A2 Red Edition may not be available in the upcoming 6GB/128GB memory configuration.

The Mi A2 is the best camera smartphone under the Rs 20,000 price point. Xiaomi has added a primary 12MP shooter on the rear which comes paired with a 20MP secondary sensor that helps in low-light shots and adding bokeh effect to the images. Frontal, the Mi A2 has a 20MP selfie camera with various AI modes. Being part of the Android One program, the Mi A2 is currently running a stock version of Android 8.1 Oreo, and it's expected to receive Android 9 Pie update by the end of this year. Lastly, the phone is backed by a 3010mAh battery, and it lacks the 3.5mm headphone jack.

The phone has support for Qualcomm Quick Charge 4+ in India, but you have to purchase the charger separately as Xiaomi is not bundling any fast charger inside the retail box.
