The Mi A1, much like any other Xiaomi phone, looks ( and feels) like an expensive phone, but it isn’t expensive at all. Boasting of a full-metal body and dual rear cameras, the Mi A1 would - invariably - remind you of Apple’s iPhone 7 Plus, especially from the behind. The same is true about the phone’s front as well. Everything from the 2.5 D curved glass - which is Corning’s Gorilla Glass 3 for your reference - on the front to the antenna lines placement on the back, screams the iPhone. The only visible difference is seen in the fingerprint scanner placement. As opposed to the iPhone 7 Plus that comes with a front-mounted fingerprint scanner, the Xiaomi Mi A1 sports one on the back. The Mi A1 further comes with physical capacitive keys on the front which are back-lit.
