#Xiaomi Mi A2 design

The Xiaomi Mi A2, the brand's latest entry to the segment, is definitely one that can shake things up. Design and Construction When we first got our hands on this phone at the launch event in Madrid, the design immediately stood out to us. It's impressive because both facets of design, aesthetics and build quality, are above average. We will dive deeper into software later, but we need to address this now because a smartphone's UI on screen is just as much part of the overall design as the actual hardware -- we saw this with the Mi A1, but seeing a Xiaomi device not running MIUI is visually different, and a breath of fresh air for someone like me who prefers stock Android. On the left side, we have a dual nano-SIM tray without a place for a microSD card, which is perhaps one of the Mi A2's biggest design caveats. This can be remedied by using the jelly case that Xiaomi includes in the box. The camera app is one of the only things truly 'Xiaomi' about the Mi A2, as it uses the one found in MIUI. Features include HDR, HHT (Hand-held Twilight), Beautify, Panorama, Portrait, Tilt-shift, Straighten, Group Selfie, and Manual Mode.
