Is this the Best Budget Phone? Xiaomi MI A2 Lite Review
Ғылым және технология
The review of the affordable Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Smartphone.
Find it at Gearbest: bit.ly/2PkjX2h or Amazon: geni.us/MiA2Lite or Banggood: bit.ly/2zM86oN
In this video I review one of the most affordable phones from Xiaomi, the Mi A2 Lite. You can find this phone for around $150 and for this price it offers amazing value.
This is the same as the Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro but running stock android instead of MIUI.

Great videos. Need some advice. Do you trust Ali Express for purchasing phones? They have better prices than banggood or gearbest on the Mi A2, but not everyone recommends. Thanks.
Is there a speaker in the notch area like a regular cellphone?
Thought this was IPhone XR, notch, no fast charge, but saw it has better screen specs, bigger battery, headphone jack, memory expansion, non proprietary USB, and a family of five can each have phones for cost of one IPhone. Cheers

Does anyone know what type of glass the "Xiaomi mi A2 lite" uses? I've been searching on multiple sites and KZread videos to no avail! Even at the Xiaomi website, there is no specification about the screen glass type 🤨! Please, let me know if you have any information about it! Thanks
What smartphone manufacturers don't get is that there are so many customers who want a compact device. It really bothers me that the smaller phones (like the Mi A2 Lite) have lower specs, and the big display phones (like the Redmi Note 6 Pro) have better specs. Sure I'd like to have the higher specced phone, but in my case the Redmi Note 6 Pro is not really an alternative because it's too BIG! Give me the Mi A2 Lite with RN6Pro specs and I would buy it, even for the same price! But again, they just don't get it. Currently I'm using the Redmi Note 4, but it's a bit too bulky and laggy for my taste. So I wanted to buy the Mi A2 Lite, but hey, it's got the same SD 625 processor as my almost two-year-old Redmi Note 4. So no improvement processor-wise nor camera-wise. I've compared tons of phones (watched all of your videos, thumbs up!) over the last couple of months but there is always a key feature missing in every phone. No notification-led or bad battery life or lousy camera and so on. Is it so hard to build a phone with a decent camera, good battery, a processor on let's say SD 636 levels, 4 GB RAM, AND with the dimensions of the Samsung S9 for 200-250$ ? Well, it seems so.

@@tilikumtim5562 Well, since you said Performance, Camera and Battery Life is Important to You. Then, obviously the Redmi Note 6 Pro is better on almost all of those aspect. Cuz Redmi Note 6 Pro uses SD 636 Chipset, a bigger Aperture on the Main Cam and higher Pixels on the Selfie Cam than the Mi A2 Lite (Mi 6X). But, battery however isn't gonna be much of a difference cuz they both have 4000mAh Capacity. Especially, since both Pure Stock Android and Mi UI are good at Battery Optimization.

Great phone! Mine started acting funny after 3 weeks, but GearBest has a 45 day money back rule. Replaced it with the regular A2 which is great, but smaller battery. Was on sale for same price. Both fantastic phones. I'd recommend either one. Why Xiaomi didn't combine the best features of the two I don't know. That phone would have been unbeatable in the "budget" range.

I think now a days there is many phones in reasonable prices which we can afford and with excellent specs.
My friend had one of these, but unfortunately he smashed glass on it, LCD still works though. But yeah, it is a decent phone for the price. We played PUBG on it and it was not that bad, so it should be enough for casual user, I guess. One big plus for it are regular updates.

NO. Hell no. I had mi a1 with sd 625 and mi a2 lite with same cpu and mi a2 lite is slower about 30, animations are so lazy. Display protection is awful, its got scratched just in pocket and normal use. Side, top and bottom are made of plastic. To much heat when play games, on mobile data or wi fi. Notch is to big. Android one is just to boring, and only advantage over miui is newer google os updates and other is far on miui side. Sound and display are ok. Not worthy of buying for me.
