Cheap Xiaomi phones with Android Go
Xiaomi seems to have already closed the door on Android One, but Still trying with Android Go. Last year’s Xiaomi Redmi A1 did not remain an isolated experiment, but instead has its successors: the new Xiaomi Redmi A2.
These new terminals are very similar to last year’s Xiaomi Redmi A1 but should have better performance because instead of mounting a Helio A22 (quad core at 2 GHz) we went. to the most modern Helio G36 (Eight cores up to 2.2 GHz). The memory is still fair, despite the usual Android Go: 2 or 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage to which a MicroSD can be added.
The design remains basically the same as the previous generation, including the colors and leather-textured finish. We have a screen in front of us 6.52 inch diagonal LCD with HD+ resolutionMaintains 60 Hz refresh rate for a lifetime.
For photography, the Xiaomi Redmi A2 includes a 5 megapixel front camera and 8 megapixel rear lens. It is accompanied by a QVGA resolution “assistant” lens that should aid in portrait shots and make the layout of the camera module more prominent.
Xiaomi Redmi A2 packs a 5,000mAh battery that supports 10W lifetime charging via Micro USB, comes with Android 12 Go with security updates guaranteed for two years, has a mini jack and only Redmi A2+ has fingerprint reader on the back.
