Xiaomi MI-2a is a powerful Android phone, packed with a 4.5" multi touch screen, an extremely fast Dual-Core processing unit running at 1.7 gigahertz, and two cameras, an 8 MP back-facing camera and a 2 MP front facing camera. But let's get into a bit more details.

Xiaomi decided to power the Xiaomi MI-2a using an extremely fast Dual-Core processor speeding at 1700 megahertz, bundled in a Xiaolong S4 Pro system chip and only 1 GB RAM memory which is a bit low for a phone of this level. Helping with graphic intensive applications, it also has an Adreno 320 graphic processing unit speeding at 400 megahertz. The Xiaomi MI-2a has anice 16 GB internal storage and whereas it doesn't count with a slot for SD memory cards, it is enough to store hundreds of applications, but it might not be enough if you are planning to install some of the heaviest games available nowadays.

Xiaomi did an excellent design job making the Xiaomi MI-2a weight only 4.69 ounces. This cellphone is just 0.37 inches thick, making it one of the thinnest cellphones in the market. Xiaomi made the Xiaomi MI-2aavailable only in many different colors, black, yellow, green, blue and white.

This cellphone counts with WiFi connectivity (which can be provided to other devices around, acting as a modem or router), 4G HSPA+ internet connection, which is not as fast as LTE networks and the fastest 3G connection type, over HSDPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. The Xiaomi MI-2a works with a SIM card for GSM carriers.

This cellphone has two cameras, an 8 megapixels back-facing camera and a 2 megapixels front facing camera. It can also film 1920x1080 Full HD videos at 30 fps. To complete the camera, it also includes a lot of great characteristics: auto-focus, flash, face detection shooting, digital image stabilization, HDR mode, smile detection shooting and geo tagging.

This cellphone also includes some cool characteristics like NFC (to trigger actions, transfer data or make payments by holding your phone close to another NFC device or tag), Bluetooth and GPS, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

The Xiaomi MI-2a packs a 2030 mAh great Li-Ion battery that would have been good if this phone wasn't so energy demanding.
