Xiaomi
A leading mobile production company of China, which has set its legs in India, has again hit the market with a beast. Under the 20,000/- segment, the Xiaomi Mi A1 has landed well with this product as well. Xiaomi, a privately owned company that develops, designs and sells smartphones is based on the Android OS.

Camera
Well, the camera is the USP of this phone. A dual back camera with 12 Megapixel and a front with 5 Megapixel. The dual camera has the portrait mode and perks of having a portrait mode is that you can actually make your photo look like a DSLR shot photo!
Processor

Connectivity
When we talk about the connectivity, it supports Infrared, Bluetooth, GPS, Wi-Fi, OTG, USB, 3G and $g. The 4G support is Band 40 used by LTE networks in India. A 3.5mm Audio Jack but, but, but there is no FM available. So, all those radio fans will have to sacrifice with the traditional FM. And, it does not come with the earphones/headphones. That means you will have to spend some extra to enjoy the 3D sound experience.

The sensors that are present in the phone are, Proximity sensor, Compass Magnetometer, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Ambient light sensor. To my surprise, the temperature sensor is absent!
