Likewise, Xiaomi is not shy in comparing the handset to the iPhone 7 Plus, due to the fact that it also comes with a dual-lens camera setup. Both back cameras have 12MP sensor; the secondary camera has a telephoto lens which allows you to capture bokeh effect with blur backgrounds. You'll also have 2X optical zoom feature.
Being in the Android One program, the Xiaomi Mi A1 definitely has Android 8.0 Oreo on its roadmap of updates. Google will support the handset for atmost 3 years.
With regards to its pricing, the Xiaomi Mi A1 has been priced at INR 14,999 in India. If we are to convert it to Philippine Peso, it would be roughly Php 12,000. Considering that the Xiaomi Mi 5X is priced at Php 13,499 locally (in Widget City), it's safe to assume that the Xiaomi Mi A1 will settle in the Php 13K to Php 15K price when it reaches the Philippines.
Though we may have a "guesstimate" on its price, we could only cross our fingers that it'll reach the Philippines soon. Check out the rest of its specs.
