Xiaomi Mi A2 will come with Quick Charge 4.0 exclusively for Indian market, others to get Quick Charge 3.0

Yesterday, at its Global Launch Event in Madrid, Spain, Chinese smartphone brand Xiaomi launched two new Android One smartphones – Mi A2 and Mi A2 Lite. The Mi A2 will be launched in India next month on August 8. While the hardware on the Mi A2 that will be sold in India and other countries will be the same, there will actually be one thing that Indian users of the Mi A2 will get to boast about – Quick Charge 4.0.

The Xiaomi Mi A2 unveiled yesterday comes with Quick Charge 3.0, but, Android Central has reported that the Mi A2 will support Quick Charge 4.0 in India. Not just that, Android Central also reports that Quick Charge 4.0 on Mi A2 will be exclusively available for the Indian market, with other regions having to make do with Quick Charge 3.0.

Having said that, it’s worth noting that the Mi A2 will actually come bundled with the standard 5V/2A (10W) charger, hence, you will have to buy a third-party Quick Charge 4.0 charger if you want to leverage this charging tech and get higher charging speeds.
