Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Global Version 4G Phablet

My last smartphone broke (an Moto Z2 Play), and I wanted to get an new one with the same specifications, but with better price, so the Mi A2 Lite was perfect! It's HALF the price of my last phone and it also has a stronger battery, comparing with the last one. I loved the powerful chipset, the camera is good enough. I have no problens with lag and freezing. That's why I rate five stars.

Pros: The design is very beautiful, the camera is good enough for me, the hardware is powerful and the best is the battery!
Cons: It's a bit heavy and the charger cable is short.

The advantage in acquiring such smartphone over other products is the price, the battery and the Android One program. Firstly, the price because since it's a Xiaomi product, you can expect that it will be a very good smartphone, for half the price of most western brands. Second, it has a 4000mAh battery! And third, since it's in the Android One program, it will receive updates for two years! I can't even think in disadvantages!

I totally recommend it, I'm very satisfied!

First off, I started off ordering the Elephone A4 Pro when it went on sale. After 3 weeks of no delivery, I learned it was on backorder, even while Gearbest was still listing it on sale and taking orders. Not happy at all, so I cancelled that order and went with this Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite. (Almost cancelled Gearbest all together to go with their competitor, but gave them one more shot.) Arrived 10 days later, which was reasonable, but still over a month after my initial order.

With that out of the way, I'm very happy with the Mi A2 Lite. I've been away from Android phones for several years, after all kinds of memory and app conflict issues with my old ones, but the lack of Windows Phone apps finally forced my hand. Happy to say that I haven't had any of the old "out of memory" issues that I used to have and the phone is operating smoothly. The $45 upgrade from the Elephone gave me a slightly larger 1080p screen instead of 720p, which looks really sharp.

Saw reviews that shot down the Elephone's camera and praised the Mi A2's. If my use over the weekend is any clue, the reviews were right. Went to a museum that did not allow flash photography, but even without the flash, the pictures I took were cleaner than expected. I've played with the video camera a bit, which seems to work well. The included camera app caps video recording at 1080p/30, but I discovered that "Open Camera", a free app, allows for 4k/30 recording. Tried it and it works!


Overall, I'm happy with the phone. The A2 standard phone had a few nicer features listed, while lacking others, but for what I'm using the phone for, this one is fine. A better file manager app and an easier way to connect to Windows for file transfers would be nice, but I've worked around those issues. Worth the time and money to get.

+ Высокая производительность при небольшом энергопотреблении благодаря Qualcomm Snapdragon 660. Смартфон легко тянет любые игры на максимальных настройках графики и не “лагает” даже при большом количестве одновременно работающих приложений.
+ Превосходные в т.ч. в сравнении с конкурентами за эти деньги камеры, а если поставить Gcam, то получим вообще не досягаемый уровень фото для аналогов в ценовой категории до 30к.
+ Высокооптимизированная прошивка. Здесь установлен так называемый “Чистый Андроид”. Смартфон входит в программу Android One, а значит он будет получать все новые версии Android и при этом в числе первых. Скоро будет Android 9 (P), так же, 10ку мы тоже получим.
+ Габариты и вес. Здесь производитель постарался на славу, смартфон тонкий, имеет небольшие рамки и ощутимо небольшой вес. Благодаря всему этому удобен в использовании. После того, как мой знакомый немного попользовался A2 владея Note 5, решил продавать последний. Если у вас есть возможность -зайдите в любой салон, где представлена эта модель и подержите его в руках. Тот же распиаренный везде Pocofone F1, на мой взгляд вообще для использования мало пригоден из-за веса и габаритов.
+ Внешний вид A2 на голову выше большинства, не в последнюю очередь благодаря небольшой толщине и цельнометаллическому корпусу
+ Очень хорошая связь, как сотовая, так и GPS и WiFi. Не знаю, как производитель этого добился. Возможно сделал из металлического корпуса смартфона антенну? Но связь ловит лучше, чем Redmi Note 5 с которым имею возможность сравнивать
+ Достойная автономность благодаря оптимизированному "незагаженному" Android. В последних обновлениях автономность вообще радует. Не чувствую дискомфорта перейд

Stavo monitorando questo smartphone perchè avevo letto delle ottime recensioni in particolare per la durata della battera, per cui l'ho acquistato approfittando delle offerte del Single's Day (11 novembre) a poco più di 140€!
Un prezzo davvero fantastico per uno smartphone con 4GB di RAM e 64GB di spazio per applicazioni/foto/musica ecc., con molte bande LTE tra cui la famosa "banda 20" utilizzata da Wind/Tre, Iliad e operatori virtuali che si appoggiano ad essi.
Nella confezione, oltre allo smartphone, sono presenti:
- Caricabatterie da viaggio (presa italiana)
- Cavo USB - microUSB
- Graffetta per rimozione nanoSIM, microSD
- Cover slim nera (il telefono acquistato era nero)

Non sono presenti le cuffie nella confezione, ma sinceramente ne ho tante e quindi per me non è stato un problema. Molto gradita, invece, la presenza della cover slim in cui lo smartphone calza a pennello.

Lo smartphone segue la nuova moda e presenta il "notch", molto bello da vedere. Ai lati del "notch" lo schermo ospita alla sua sinistra le notifiche, mentre a destra l'orologio, la batteria, la connessione WiFi, dati 4G e la sveglia.
Lo smartphone risulta molto reattivo, ha un'ottima qualità audio nelle chiamate e una fantastica durata della batteria!
Dal 26 dicembre inoltre è arrivato l'aggiornamento ad Android 9 Pie, molto prima di smartphone costosi e blasonati come il Samsung Galaxy S9 e S9+, che ha introdotto tra l'altro la Radio FM (molto utile), batteria e luminosità adattativa.

Sono molto soddisfatto di questo smartphone e lo consiglio a chi cerca uno smartphone di circa 150€, con una batteria di lunga durata, perfetto anche per l'operatore Iliad che utilizza la banda 20.

la batterie est confortable, l'écran très bon, les doubles SIM + carte mémoire est un gros plus, les réseaux Bluetooth et Wifi fonctionne sans soucis, l'appareil est réactif sans chauffer et les photos sont très correctes (la résolution est bien utilisée) ...Après il est quand même épais et le verre incurvé sur les bords posera des problèmes pour adapter un verre de protection.Pour ne pas tout avoir à changer, j'ai bien aimé le micro-USB (ok c'est pénible le sens) et la conservation de la sortie Jack (utilisation possible en avion où le Bluetooth est interdit !).Ce smartphone correspond pile poil à mon choix après des déconvenues avec des téléphones bien plus chers (Sony !) : jamais plus de 200€ !Par contre je ne suis pas convaincu par Oreo (Android 8.1) : le mode de gestion de la carte SD en mémoire de stockage interne n'est pas au point : impossible de savoir où est quoi, de voir la mémoire interne depuis le PC et ça plante : j'ai eu 36 Go de photos et musiques non supprimables sur la mémoire interne de 64Go qui est du coup quasi pleine : bref je conseille vivement d'utiliser la SD comme mémoire externe : il est possible d'y transférer les photos, d'y mettre des cartes ...Incroyable : il n'est plus possible de régler le niveau sonore des notifications (que je préfère plutôt bas, ma montre connectée vibre ça suffit) indépendamment du volume de la sonnerie du téléphone receved within 18 days thanks
