“The phone would get the Android ‘O’ update by the end of 2017 and would be one of the first to get Android P”, he added.

“Starting from India, all MiA1 devices will come with dual pyrolytic graphite sheets which will help diffuse and radiate heat quickly”, the company said.

The smartphone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor coupled with 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage. The Snapdragon 625 Octa-core processor comes with 14nm FinFET technology.

Like other dual-rear camera smartphones, Mi A1 also supports ‘Bokeh’ style imaging.

“This is similar to what we find on iPhone 7 Plus,” said Donovan Sung, Director of Product Management and Marketing, Xiaomi Global.

A major highlight of the phone is the camera setup that comprises a 12MP + 12MP primary camera with a telephoto lens and a wide-angle lens, 1.25 um and 2x digital zoom and 10x optical zoom.

“Android One runs pure interface, a small number of preloads, keeping the phone simple for users with different choices,” Jon Gold, Global Director for Android Partner Programs, told reporters here.
