Xiaomi partnered with Google over an Android One last year, the Mi A1. The phone combined Xiaomi's hardware capabilities with the simplicity of Android One, making it one of the best budget phones of 2018. A year on, Xiaomi is renewing its collaboration with Google to launch two Android One phones. The Mi A2 and Mi A2 Lite feature comprehensive upgrades from the Mi A1, and Xiaomi is set to make both devices available in over 40 markets around the world. The key difference between both phones — from an aesthetic standpoint — is that the Mi A2 has a standard 18:9 display, with the Mi A2 Lite offering a 19:9 panel with a notch up top. Internally, the Mi A2 is powered by the Snapdragon 660, whereas the A2 Lite is running the now-familiar Snapdragon 625. On the software front, both devices are running Android 8.1 Oreo, and the fact that they're a part of the Android One platform means they'll be one of the first phones to pick up the Android P update. Verizon is offering the Pixel 4a for just $10/mo on new Unlimited lines Here's what you need to know about Xiaomi's latest Android One phones. Xiaomi Mi A2/Mi A2 Lite: Specs
