And everything I love about MIUI is present here. While still on MIUI, this phone has MIUI version 9.6 on top on Android 8.1 Oreo. That explains why the 3000mAh battery on this device will do you a full day on normal social media, video and music usage. The A2 has considerably worse battery life compared to the 6X. The skin is not only well thought out, it is also really good on battery, as people have realised with the Xiaomi Mi A2 compared to the Xiaomi Mi 6X which are the exact devices with different skins the A2 running stock Android while the 6X running MIUI. And if you’ve read my previous review of the Redmi Note 5, you know that I really love MIUI, Xiaomi’s User Interface on top of Android. This is my second interaction with a Xiaomi device. There’s no fast charging but that’s not a big issue as in about 1.7hrs you will have charged it to 100%. Being a small phone with a low power processor, you can get close to two days on normal use. The 3000mAh battery may feel small in an era where everyone has a 4000mAh battery phone. In terms of viewing angles, and colour reproduction, one can’t complain. Also, being that it is a relatively small display, it means you’re getting more pixels per inch. Remember many devices, some up to 18k, still come with 720p panels. At this price point, no one has given us a 1080p panel. Unless you totally love big phones, then this isn’t for you. With the reduced bezels, it will feel like a really tiny device, but 5.45 inches is totally usable. Nothing here is compromised because it is a cheap device, no. The design is good, the finish is perfect. You also won’t mind it once you hold the phone. Also, this is my second Xiaomi device and maybe they just never have earphones included in the box.
But with the specs one is getting, and in a bid to cut price, I don’t see a problem with not getting earphones. You can watch my unboxing and first thoughts (remember to subscribe): When you open the box, this is what you’ll find inside: And the packaging will remind you before you even see the device. The packaging (as shown above) may appear big because it is a photo and perspectives can be deceiving. But first, if you don’t know the specs of the device, here’s a quick reminder: Xiaomi Redmi 6A Specifications: Displayĥ.45 inches IPS LCD 720 x 1440 pixels,18:9 Aspect ratioĢ/16GB version and 2/32GB Version, Expandable storage There’s a 32GB internal storage version that’s 11k, and that’s the one you should go with! If you want to understand why I am confident saying this is the best, then read on to the end, I promise I will explain. If that’s what you wanted to read, then you can go ahead and order one from Jumia where it is Ksh.
