Xiaomi Mi A2 long-term review Comments
This is one of the biggest letdowns of the year, it's almost as if Xiaomi wanted to make it less appeasing to push it's MIUI phones instead. It's pretty much a downgrade from Mi A1. Yes we all wished Mi A1 had a better chip than the same old 625. And they did deliver 660 and flushed everything else good in the toilet. No microSD slot, 3.5mm jack, a camera hill (can't call that a bump) and shit battery. I'd rather buy the good old A1

Most of Xiaomi LCD screens look washed out and are generally terrible.

Daym that is such a great review. Top my hat off for you guys. I hope GSMArena team can provide more "long-term review" on a mid-range smartphone. Perhaps try pocofone for the next review eh?

I've been looking to get a new phone for a while but for me the biggest negative point is lack of a 3.5 mm jack in A2. So much so that i'm considering to get a Nokia 6.1 plus instead which is similarly priced and comes with SD 636 instead of SD 660 (A2).

Pumpino, 20 Nov 2018Xiaomi hasn't included RGB notification LEDs in any models for a couple of years. With OnePlus... moreThey have introduced RGB notification LED in their older mobile one example is Redmi 2

kgbme, 20 Nov 2018No NFC is a plus, one less security flaw to worry about; and nobody uses a phone without a pro... moreYeah, the Pocophone is objectively better than the Mi A2 for one simple reason: the Snapdragon 845 processor. And that one's not too far off in price.
Compared to the Mi A1, it's as if Xiaomi designed the Mi A2 to fail...

I have the Pocophone and a Redmi Note 5. I've installed custom Pie ROMs and the Google Camera mod on both. That way, I get phones with a large battery and perfect software.

With OnePlus ditching the RGB notification LED in the OP6T, I think there's only Samsung, Sony and HTC (orange/green only) that include them.

This phone should have RGB (color) LED notification LED instead of white. Not a big deal for some, but a big deal for me and some of us.

No NFC is a plus, one less security flaw to worry about; and nobody uses a phone without a protective case (why would you). So, basically the only issue is the rounded screen - which is, incidentally, why I'm not getting any such phones.
A huge plus is vanilla Android and Xiaomi's prices are unbeatable: they make it a point to limit their profits, purposefully. That's enough for me to only look at Xiaomi devices... Not being greedy is great, but I'm also in favor of not getting ripped off. :)

Ah, come on!
No comparisons to other devices?!?
Especially the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro/AI, Redmi Note 6 Pro, Mi 8 Lite, Mi 8 SE, and the Xiaomi PocoPhone.
People read these long-reviews to know the device intimately/properly, otherwise, anybody can read a Spec Sheet which doesn't give the full picture.
