Xiaomi's second smartphone to come packed with the Android One software, Mi A2 has been getting attention in India since it was launched in Madrid last month. Expectations with the Xiaomi Mi A2 are high as it succeeds Xiaomi Mi A1, a market favourite last year. An interesting point about this device is that there is no other smartphone with the same chipset in this price bracket. Xiaomi has been emphasising on the camera unit present on the Mi A2, with available camera samples pointing towards a strong performer in the optics department.
But the strong spec list will not be enough to give the Xiaomi Mi A2 an undisputed claim to the top spot in the upper end of the mid-range segment. The Honor Play, a recent launch with a similar price tag, seems to be a more than capable competitor for the Mi A2. A powerful Kirin 970 processor which does duty on higher priced devices and focus on efficient performance for gaming needs make the Honor Play a viable alternative to the Mi A2.
Here's a look at how these two likely competitors size up against each other:
Xiaomi has launched only one variant of the Mi A2 with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage at Rs 16,999. A higher placed variant with 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage will be launched sooner, the company as promised.
Meanwhile, the base variant of Honor Play with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage comes with a price tag of Rs 19,999. The higher variant of the device with 6GB RAM and 64GB internal memory will be available for Rs 23,999.
