Chinese smartphone brand Xiaomi announced the Mi A2 two days ago at its Global Launch Event in Madrid, Spain, and, the company is all set to launch the Mi A2 in India next month on August 8. There are a total of three variants of the Mi A2 – 4 GB RAM + 32 GB storage, 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage, and, 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage. However, according to a latest report, Xiaomi won’t be launching all these variants of the Mi A2 in India.
According to a report by Gadgets360, Xiaomi will not launch the 4 GB RAM + 32 GB storage variant of the Mi A2 in India, which means the 64 GB storage variant will serve as the base model in the country. Moreover, Gadgets360 also reports that the Mi A2 will be available in four colors in India instead of the original three – Black, Blue, Gold – revealed during the unveiling. The fourth one will be the Rose Gold color.
That said, it’s currently unclear whether Xiaomi will only launch the 64 GB storage variant in India, or, it will also bring the 128 GB variant to the country that comes with 6 GB RAM. Having said that, the Mi A2 will also come with Quick Charge 4.0 support exclusively for the Indian market, with other regions having to make do with Quick Charge 3.0. But, do note that irrespective of which country you buy the Mi A2 from, you will still have to buy a Quick Charge 3.0/4.0 charger separately as the one that will come bundled with will be a 5V/2A (10W) charger.
