Xiaomi Mi A2 To Launch Next Month With Ship Date of August 8

The Xiaomi Mi 5X was considered to be the best mid-ranger on the market. So when the manufacturer released the Xiaomi Mi A1 based on it and running pure Android, everyone was pleasantly surprised. The Mi A1 has become not only the overseas variant of the Mi 5X but also one of the first models coming our way from Google’s Android One Program. It happened on September 5, 2017. And there has been every reason to think the Xiaomi Mi A2 will follow the schedule. But now there are rumors confirming the upcoming launch of the mentioned model, with a ship date of August 8.

Undoubtedly, the Xiaomi Mi A2 will be based on the Xiaomi Mi 6X. Thus, the manufacturer follows the same strategy seen in the previous model. This simply means the Mi A2 will be packed with the same hardware and sport the same look as its founding father but run on a native Android.

It’s senseless to say the main shooter and the selfie camera with a 20MP resolution support AI shooting with multiple enhanced features.
