Mi A2 is backed by a 3,010mAh battery and the Indian variant will support Qualcomm’s QuickCharge 4.0 technology. However, there’s no special fast-charger in the box.
On the camera front, Mi A2 features dual rear sensors, a combination of 12MP Sony IMX486 lens with f/1.75 aperture and a 20MP Sony IMX376 secondary sensor with a f/1.75 aperture. The front camera is a 20MP one with LED flash. The camera is capable of clicking some stunning shots in proper lighting conditions. The Portrait mode on dual rear cameras is actually quite good. The selfie camera is impressive for the price.
