Global technology leader Xiaomi introduced its latest Android One device, Mi A2, today in Malaysia. Following the wildly successful debut of Mi A1 in September 2017 in Malaysia, the device announced today is set to take Xiaomi’s Android One series to a whole new level, especially with the exceptional photography experience they offer.
Mi A2 is a photography powerhouse with a 12MP + 20MP rear AI dual camera and a 20MP front camera. It is powered by the Qualcomm® Snapdragon TM 660 SoC with the powerful Qualcomm® Artificial Intelligence Engine (AIE). As a benefit of the Android One partnership, the device will have unlimited high quality photo storage with Google Photos to ensure users will never have to worry about running out of photo storage.
Mi A2 comes in two versions with the following pricing: 4GB+64GB for RM999 and 6GB+128GB for RM1199. Mi A2 will be made available as an early bird offer on 3rd August at KLCC Authorised Mi Store. It will be available at other Authorised Mi Stores as well as Lazada on 4th August.
The slightly smaller Mi A2 Lite is a great value package with a 12MP + 5MP rear AI dual camera and a 4,000mAh large battery. Mi A2 Lite will be available at 3GB+32GB for RM699. The device will be available starting 18th August at all Authorised Mi Stores and Lazada.
Steven Shi, Xiaomi Regional President of Southeast Asia and Oceania, said: “I’m so excited to be announcing Mi A2 and Mi A2 Lite in Malaysia so soon after their debut in Spain. With an amazing user experience that well exceeds people’s expectations, offered at an honest price, our Android One series has developed an excellent reputation.
