Xiaomi teases telephoto camera for the Mi A2 and an updated portrait mode

Xiaomi is really eager to tell the world about the Mi A2 and Mi A2 Lite, so it keeps tweeting out hints. They are a bit confusing at times, but other times they are quite clear... or one might say in focus.

This tweet shows off soft bokeh, so we’re looking forward to a new portrait mode, which will be achieved with the help of a telephoto lens

This next tweet shows one of the lenses clearly magnifying more than the other. The Mi A1 had a 2x telephoto lens and portrait mode as well, but Xiaomi must have upgraded something to warrant these teasers.

Moving on, we may see a dual-tone paint job, or at least a Blue color option (the A1 is already available in Pink). As for the price... If that’s meant to be a bar chart, the Xiaomi Mi A2 will cost more than the A1 and the Lite will be the most expensive of the three. Which doesn’t make sense, so this teaser doesn’t actually tell us much about the price.

Xiaomi tweets: "Pink, blue or both?" • "Can you guess the price?"
