There are different features that characterize Xiaomi. The first, perhaps, is that it has a wide range of products within the consumer technology sector. Another is that mobiles are kings. And third, that they enjoy a custom user interface known as MIUI. However, in its latest release, the Xiaomi Mi A1 has put this layer aside to make way for one of the most drastic changes in its catalog.
The Xiaomi Mi A1 is a phone with very interesting features that among other features add dual camera for effect results bokeh or with blurring of the capture background. But before continuing to reveal more features, the best thing is that we get down to work and begin to comment section by section on everything that the latter offers. smartphone of the Asian.
Exceeding 5 inches and aluminum chassis
Displays are a cornerstone of the latest trends in the mobile market. And it is that the consumption of content through these devices has skyrocketed. Not only do we have the different studies that are carried out from time to time, but we can also check the trends of mobile rates that are launched in our market where download limits are increasing.
That is why Xiaomi has just launched the Xiaomi Mi A1 with a 5,5-inch diagonal screen and a maximum resolution of Full HD (1.920 x 1.080 pixels). It is true that they could have been more pixels, but surely we would have seen how its final price would have been affected - its price is one of its main claims as we will see later.
Meanwhile, its chassis is unibody - in one piece - and built entirely in aluminum. This will make it look better to the buyer as well as make it more resistant to bumps and scratches.
Mid-range processor and 4 GB of RAM
The power of this Xiaomi Mi A1 is given by an 8-core Qualcomm processor with a working frequency of 2,2 GHz. The specific model is a Snapdragon 625. This chip is accompanied by a 4GB RAM —Best than the industry average— and you'll have 64GB of space to store information (photos, music or videos as well as documents).
Now, if this storage space is not enough, you can resort to using MicroSD cards. Of course, in this case you should say goodbye to the option of using two SIM cards, one of the features present in more and more terminals. And is that being able to have two phone numbers on a single computer is one of the great advantages. Especially for those who need a corporate number.
Dual sensor camera for 'bokeh' effects
Achieving effects that in the past could only be done through SLR cameras is a very powerful claim. This is what happens with the popular 'bokeh' effect. More and more terminals are coming onto the market with this option thanks to their double cameras. And this Xiaomi mid-range also bets on this format. And adds two rear sensors with 12 megapixel resolution. To this article we add some of the screenshots that the company has supposedly made with the Xiaomi Mi A1.

Meanwhile, on the front they don't forget about video calls or selfies either. Hence they have added a 16 megapixel sensor resolution so that you come out as handsome or pretty as possible.
Forgetting MIUI and betting on Android One
Although the price is a powerful claim and the double camera even more, perhaps the great news of this Xiaomi Mi A1 is the total absence of its popular custom MIUI capable, which is both praised and hated. So what better than bet on a clean version of the Google platform (Android One) and that it is the client himself who chooses if he wants to bet on new launchers or leave pure Android on the computer. What do you think of this change of direction in the company? Would you definitely put MIUI aside in all the next teams?
Autonomy and connections
The battery that comes with this sales package has a 3.080 milliamp capacity. And is that exceeding 3.000 mAh is something necessary if we are going to give it intensive use. In addition, we must think that we will have to feed a 5,5-inch screen. With this figure we should hold out all day without having to go through the plug.
On the other hand, as we have already mentioned, it is a dualSIM equipment; you will have dual channel WiFi; Bluetooth connection; as well as a reversible USB Type-C port, one of the standards that is being implemented in all the most modern equipment. We also do not forget a fingerprint reader on the back of the chassis as well as the possibility of using 4G networks to achieve navigation equal to that of home.
Availability and price
The terminal has been presented in India. There you can get starting next September 12 at a price of 14.999 rupees. This translates into a price of 195 euros. Although once it reaches European markets, the price will surely rise above 200 euros. Now, as Xiaomi herself has announced in her presentation, Spain is not among the countries where it will land, as you can see in the image above.
Good looking, android stock, good cameras, we will have to see how they respond, maybe they went over the price, my note 4 has that and it's worth € 100, now I'm looking at a model that caught my attention, the Blackview S8. have you seen
