Thanks to the two different lenses, the company claims you can get 2x optical zoom and blurred backgrounds. Starting off with the depth mode, we were able to take some great samples with bokeh effects. Most of our portrait shots had clearly defined edges but some did manage to overdo the blurring.

In completely dark spots, the Mi A1 struggled a lot and most photos were indistinct despite the autofocus working well.

The Mi Max 2 offers better low-light results.The Mi A1’s camera app guides you when you are in depth mode, showing warnings like It’s too dark now and Move farther from the object which will be helpful for new users.The 5-megapixel front camera took some good selfies in good light, and details were fairly good. Selfies taken at night were almost completely dark without some kind of light source around.Overall, the Mi A1’s dual cameras are a great feature to have at this price point, and results won’t usually disappoint you. Low-light performance, however, needs a lot of work.Xiaomi Mi A1 performanceWe found the Mi ht games like Subway Surfers and Candy Crash ran smoothly. We also found the 5.5-inch display great for watching videos. The Mi A1 managed to produce benchmark scores similar to what we have seen with the Mi Max 2 and Redmi Note 4.

The phone was able to latch on to networks even in weak spots, which is great.

Xiaomi says that this phone has a 10V smart power amplifier for enhancing audio through earphones, and it has audio calibration algorithms as well.

Our only issue is that this phone doesn’t ship with earphones.Xiaomi Mi A1 battery lifeThe 3080mAh battery in the Mi A1 lasted for roughly 15 hours with heavy usage. We had Outlook, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Telegram, Gmail, and WhatsApp running in the background at all times.
