After the last few weeks of Android One's samrtphone from
Xiaomi became the subject of conversation, Xiaomi finally released its first
Android One smartphone called Xiaomi Mi A1. As expected, Xiaomi Mi A1 basically
uses the Xiaomi Mi 5X base that has been rolling in China a few weeks ago. The
difference, if Mi 5X using MIUI as the interface display, Mi A1 using the
display stock Android 7.1.2 Nougat like Gogogle Pixel.
Because Xiaomi Mi A1 is a Mi 5X that uses pure Android
display, so both the design and the specifications of this smartphone exactly
the same as the Mi 5X. This smartphone has a metal body with a choice of colors
Black, Gold, and Rose Gold. There is a fingerprint scanner sensor on the back
and there are antenna lines inspired from the design of the iPhone 7. The thing
that distinguishes Mi A1 with Mi 5X is, the Android One logo behind just under
the Mi logo.
This smartphone has a 5.5-inch screen Full HD 1080p
resolution and powered by a 14nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 octa-core chipset
combined with 4GB of RAM. For the storage capacity of 64GB which can still be
expanded with microSD.
The photography sector seems to be the main focus on this
third generation Android One smartphone. Sure enough, because the camera setup
that carried is a dual-camera consisting of 12MP wide-angle lens and 12MP
telephoto lens. This system is referred to as "dual-camera flagship"
which is capable of producing perfect images. That way, it's natural if Xiaomi
said if the ability to capture a camera camera images is similar to the iPhone
7 Plus.
Battery capacity brought by this smartphone is also fairly
impressive, namely 3.080mAh which can provide longer usage time considering the
Snapdragon 625 chipset is known for very efficient power consumption. For the
port used is also type USB Type-C.
Given Xiaomi Mi A1 is present without MIUI, so features and
custom applications that exist on Mi 5X are not included in MI A1, except for
camera applications. In addition, the company also promises an upgraded Android
8.0 Oreo which will arrive later this year, and Xiaomi Mi A1 will be one of the
smartphones that gets Android P upgrades for next year
For availability, this smartphone will be available on
September 12 with a price tag of INR14,999. Not yet known when this smartphone
will be released in Indonesia and how much it cost when arriving in the
country, but clearly Indonesia is one of 37 countries destination smartphone
sales.
