The Xiaomi Mi A2 was launched along with another phone named the Xiaomi Mi A2 lite in many countries but not in India. Looking at its specifications and after that its price some might argue that the Xiaomi Mi A2 lite is a better smartphone than the Mi A2. In this blog we are going to discuss just that.

• The one best thing about the Mi A2 lite is its battery. It has a battery of 4000 mah.
• It sports a fingerprint as well as a face unlock.
• It also has a dedicated memory card slot which is a rare scenario in Xiaomi mobiles.

Now let’s compare the Mi A2 lite the Mi A2 as per their key features.

Comparison with the Mi A2

1. The Mi A2 has a  dual rear cameras of 20 + 12 megapixel while the Mi A2 lite has a camera of 12+5 megapixels.
2. The Mi A2 has a battery of 3000 Mah which has fast charging support while the Mi A2 lite has a battery of 4000 Mah without fast charging.
3. The Mi A2 has a processor of snapdragon 660 while the Mi A2 lite has a processor of snapdragon 636.
4. The Mi A2 is available in 6 Gb variant while the Mi A2 lite only supports till 4 Gb Ram variant.

Thus in comparison feature wise Mi A2 has an upper-hand, a huge one at that.

Price

Now the price is something that the Mi A2 lite has very impressive. It is priced far below than a phone with its features should be having. For the 4 GB variant in Indian money the phone would cost approximately 12000 Rs. Yes!!

While the Mi A2 for the 6 Gb + 64 GB variant costs approximately 17000 Rs.If compared which phone will you buy if you are looking for a budget phone. While the Mi A2 lite is not available in India thus you have no choice except to go for the Mi A2 or the Redmi Note 5 pro.

It is such a disappointment that Xiaomi, a company which has till now been able to read and produce mobiles as per the Indian market has failed to realise that if the Xiaomi Mi A2 lite had been released in India it could have been a huge hit.
