Maybe you’re yet to accept this change but gone are the days of “big-bezeled” smartphones and HD displays. The standard now is the bezeless infinity display ranging between 5.7″ to 6.0″ in size and bring in along the FHD+ resolution of 1080 x 2160. Awesome.
Most of the devices we’ve seen from Xiaomi this year have been exceptional, that shouldn’t be surprising since everyone knows that Xiaomi isn’t a company which has much interest in budget smartphones. Instead, they prefer the big guys. The Xiaomi Mi A2 aka Mi 6X is going to be a huge one. Let’s have a look at the full specs.

The Xiaomi Mi A2 (Mi 6X) is a much better one when compared to its predecessor, the Mi A1 (or Mi 5X) which was released in September 2017. The Mi A1 was a 5.5″ device with FHD display and of course, it lacks the infinity display and the vibe it brings along. And just as it is much better, it is also much expensive.
