Xiaomi Mi A1 Review

Score: 75 / 100

Xiaomi Mi A1 is an absolutely great cellphone released in 2017, packing a high-tech 2 GHz Octa-Core CPU, a huge 5.5-inches display, a 12 MP back side camera and a 5 mega-pixels front facing camera.

Xiaomi decided to power this cellphone using a high performance 2000 megahertz Octa-Core CPU, bundled in a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 8953 system chip with a great 4 GB RAM memory. This cellphone counts with a impressive 64 GB internal storage and an external memory slot, allowing you to store lots of applications, games, songs, pictures and videos without even thinking about running out of space at all.

This phone is offerred in 3 colors, black, gold and pink. Xiaomi made an amazing optimization job making the Xiaomi Mi A1 weight just 5.82 oz. Regarding its design materials, the Xiaomi Mi A1 is made with Metal . This phone only has 6.12" long, but it is able to fit a a 5.5 inches display. Being just 0.29 inches thick,this cellphone is extremely thin and comfortable.

Xiaomi packed this device with a spectacular 5.5" display, and a resolution of 1080 x 1920 (Full HD), giving this cellphone a perfect image quality.

This cellphone is equipped with two cameras, a 12 MP back side camera and a 5 MP front-facing camera. It is also able to capture 3840x2160 4K videos at 30 frames per second, and 1280x720 HD slow motion videos at 120 fps (4 times slower than normal videos).

This cellphone packs a 3080 mAh huge Li - Ion non-removable battery that can keep this cellphone running for several hours without having to charge it at all. An issue to take into consideration is that the Xiaomi Mi A1's battery isn't replaceable so you can't change it when it begins to lose capacity, though with so much capacity you will probably discard this cellphone before that becomes a real problem.

This cellphone features wifi connection (and it can be provided to other devices acting as a wireless router), 4G LTE fast internet connection and fast 3G connectivity, over HSPA and HSUPA technologies. This phone works with a Nano SIM card to connect to GSM networks.

This device also features lots of cool features like Biometric fingerprint, Infrared Blaster, Bluetooth (4.2 ), GPS (Global Positioning System) and Radio, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Gyroscope.

This phone is definitely very appropiate for you no matter if you want it for work, love photography, want a social phone or will use this cellphone for playing games.
