Xiaomi has unveiled its first Android One phone, the Xiaomi Mi A1, at an event in New Delhi. Quite similar in terms of specifications to the Mi 5X, the new Xiaomi Mi A1 also has dual rear cameras, the new trend for affordable smartphones in the Indian market. Despite being part of the Android One initiative, the smartphone retains some Xiaomi apps such as the Mi Camera, Mi Remote, and Mi Store apps, apart from a Mi Services section within Settings.
As an Android One phone, the Xiaomi Mi A1 comes with stock Android 7.1.2 baked in and will get timely Android Oreo update; with the guarantee of Android P when the software version launches next year. Other Google services optimised for Xiaomi Mi A1 are Assistant and Photos, while Google Play Protect will keep it secure. Google Photos also gives users unlimited high-quality photo storage.
Other key Mi A1 features include a metal unibody design, 2.5D curved glass, and features a fingerprint sensor on the rear panel. The smartphone, in the Indian market, sports a dual pyrolytic graphite sheet, which helps radiate heat, helping reduce thermal performance by up to 2-degrees Celsius. It also sports an IR blaster.
The Xiaomi Mi A1 price in India is Rs. 14,999, and it will be available via Flipkart, Mi.com, and the company's Mi Home stores from 12 pm IST on September 12. The smartphone will also be available via offline retail chains (including Sangeetha, Poorvika, Big C, LOT, UniverCell, E-Zone, Croma, and Vijay Sales) as well as Mi Preferred Partner stores, on the same day. Mi A1 launch offers include up to 300GB of additional 4G data from Airtel. Notably, Google in a separate statement revealed that the Xiaomi Mi A1 will be available in dozens of countries apart from India, including Indonesia, Russia, Taiwan, and Vietnam (full list at the bottom).
