Let’s cut to the chase. Xiaomi Mi A1 was released in September, 2017, and in just a matter of seven months, Xiaomi released its successor holding the name of Mi A2. Why did the company release its successor when Mi A1 itself was quite popular in the world? It can be answered only through comparing and developing contrast between the two phones.

First off, Xiaomi Mi A2 price in Pakistan is just about the same as that of Xiaomi Mi A1 price in Pakistan, i.e. at the time of release, as the current price of the latter has been reduced, and former will definitely have higher price tag when it is made available in Pakistan. Dimensions are almost the same, while Mi A2 is 3g heavier than A1. The first real difference is seen in case of the display size and screen-to-body ratio. Xiaomi Mi A1 features 5.5-inch display along with 70.1% screen-to-body ratio, where as Mi A2 features 5.99-inch display along with 77.4% screen-to-body ratio. Another difference is the display resolution, as Mi A1 features 1080 x 1920 pixels resolution, where as the resolution of Mi A2 is 1080 x 2160 pixels.

Moreover, where Mi A1 is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 chipset, Mi A2 is powered by Snapdragon 660 chipset. The GPU is also different, i.e. Adreno 506 in A1 and Adreno 512 in A2. One con for Mi A2 is that it does not offer expandable storage option, which was offered in case of Mi A1 (i.e. up to 128GB through microSD card slot).

There is also a huge different in memory department, as Mi A1 came only with 64GB internal storage and 4GB RAM, while Mi A2 comes with additional 128GB internal storage option packed with 6GB RAM.

Camera is another difference in case of both rear and front camera sensors. Xiaomi Mi A1 featured dual camera system with 12MP + 12MP arrangement, while Mi A2 is offering 20MP + 12MP arrangement of sensors. There is also a huge upgrade in front camera, i.e. 20MP sensor in Mi A2 as compared to just 5MP featured in Mi A1.

Users will be disappointed to know that Mi A2 would not have 3.5mm headphone jack, which was present in Mi A1. Mi A2 will come with Type-C to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter instead. Bluetooth is also upgraded, as Mi A1 will have 5.0 instead of 4.2. Additional sensor included in Mi A2 is the compass. Moreover, along with the fast battery charging being the same, the Xiaomi Mi A2 will come with Quick Charge 3.0 support as well.

Battery department does not see a big change; however, battery capacity has been kept a bit short in case of Mi A2, i.e. 3010mAh as compared to 3080mAh in case of Mi A1.

Overall, it can be concluded that Xiaomi has done better job in case of recent Mi A2. Mi A1 itself was regarded as amongst the best phones of 2017, as it was one of the first few smartphones running on Android One OS. Mi A2 will also be coming under Android One program, and we can say that the Pakistani audience will definitely like this more!
