I personally prefer the Mi A2. Despite the sizes and the battery, the phone is doing really well: at the end of the day i still have the 20% of battery, thanks to SD 660, which gives the right balance between performance and battery consumption. The phone never showed problems like lag or bugs while using my applications. The only problem is the proximity sensor, that sometimes misfires, but nothing that make me change my opinion about the phone.
The photos are spectacular considering the price of the device and could be perfect if Xiaomi better develop the software that manages them. In fact the hdr does not always work optimally.

But, when it comes to the quality/price ratio, the Mi A2 Lite is the true winner.
It is less powerful than the Mi A2 in everything that i said from an objective point of view, but it also has that everything at a lower price. I don’t know how much is the Mi A2 Lite in your country, but in mine i bought it for 160 € and that is insane. Because there is a difference between the two phones, but it is not so evident. And the Mi A2 has a way better battery life, that won’t probably easily decrease over time as for the Mi A2, the micro sd slot and the 3.5 jack.
In conclusion, if you need a phone with an excellent quality/price ratio, go for the Mi A2 Lite.
If you need something more, go for the Mi A2.

I hope i explained myself. My english is not so good, but you can ask anything if you need!

I have an A2 and I’m not too sure about the camera. I love the phone but I haven’t been able to take any decent pictures ~ either they r too grainy or not very sharp. R u using the stock settings? GCam?

lol the first thing that i noticed when i turn on the phone was the wallpaper similar to the S5 Neo’s one

I wanted to try something different from Miui (which I still love) and, considering the positive experience with Xiaomi products (Mi 5s and Mi5), i decided to buy the Mi A2.
Also the battery played a central role in this: with the Mi 5s i had a lot of problem the last months, because battery died always around 6/7 pm.

I bought MI 5X to my father, it’s great one also.

If you’re willing to root it, there’s a pie version of lineage os for it that’s nearly without bugs and with the Google camera mod your pictures should look even better. Plus the phone should last a day again 🙂

Actually i’m using the stock camera. The pictures are very good if you consider how cheap is that phone and they would be even better if Xiaomi try to develop a better camera software. The most evident problems are HDR and AI. The first one doesn’t work well and, in most cases, the aren’t differences with standard pictures (no hdr). At the moment, i don’t know if the AI is fake or not. To date I have not yet had any signs of life from it. A less important problem is exposure, which sometimes misfires, but nothing critical.

Positive experience <---> Mi 5s

Pick one.

my grandpa ask me every time how to send a SMS

You have a skilled grandpa !

Also, could you have one concern I’m having about the device. I heard that mi phones get really hot. Should i be concerned about it heating?
