Xiaomi Mi 2A - Pros & Cons

Xiaomi Mi 2A

Mi A2 outdoors have a good amount of detail and colours are quite accurate
The fingerprint scanner is quite fast and was quick to unlock the phone
Mi A2 is fairly quick to meter light and lock focus

the screen is good for media consumption
The Portrait Mode on this phone is fantastic
it delivers good enough results on its own

clean and smooth software experience
great viewing angles and good color reproduction
it works pretty well most of the time
Colors out of the box are decent
the camera in particular is stunning
solid design
great software
and some incredible camera performance
good job in capturing the dynamic range and details in outdoor conditions
has pretty decent viewing angles and good touch response
It handles general wear and tear better too
build quality of the Xiaomi Mi A2 is excellent
solid dynamic range and almost never blew out highlights

Mi A2 could focus on relatively small objects
the display does not get very bright
the volume buttons are a little too high for our liking
the phone lacks an app to let you use the IR emitter
powerful Snapdragon 660 processor has so far been restricted to more expensive phones
surprisingly ends up in adding a lot of noise
no microSD card slot
2 Pro rocking the same chip at an even lower price
Low-light selfie
without flash
lack of a notch means you
slow-motion and time-lapse videos
lack of MicroSD slot
No Widevine L1 means no Netflix or Prime Video in HD
Wi-Fi connectivity
not as ergonomic as its predecessor
Xiaomi has often failed to capture
is not a big screen phone with a small overall footprint
doesn't have fancy optical zooming capabilities
extras notoriously slow down updates and the system itself
by a slightly dim display and mediocre battery
there s not much to see on the software front
there s no longer a 2x optical zoom lens
lack of NFC makes it a non-starter in Western markets
sizeable bezels at the top and bottom
Battery life is very sensitive to changes in screen brightness
this setting cannot be enforced by the benchmark app
device may be too hot or have other apps running in the background
