What the critics say (scores are out of 100)

86/100

NotebookCheck | Marcus Herbrich

The limited availability, Chinese software and insufficient LTE coverage make the Mi 6X hard to recommend to German users. All of this will change when the Mi A2 comes to Europe.

phoneArena | Peter Kostadinov

Overall, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better deal on a device with pure Android that boasts a similarly capable camera and comes with such a well-rounded hardware package, not to mention the software support that's on par with the Android flagships out there.

Mr Phone | Ershad Kaleebullah

... as a fan of premium, refined Android experiences, the Mi A2 wins my heart. Also, it doesn't hurt that it is far more affordable than another phone I absolutely loved this year – the Nokia 7 Plus.

If you reside in one of Xiaomi's markets, then you should definitely buy the Mi A2. It hits all of the right notes here and does a good job with just about everything.

I cannot deny that Mi A2 has a lot of positives, which stand out compared to other devices. The overall design, and how sleek the phone is gives it a premium look.

The Mobile Indian | Rohan Pal

Xiaomi Mi A2 is surely a true upgrade over its first Android One smartphone, the Mi A1. The phone comes with a premium design coupled with some sleek looks and the performance is smooth across various departments.

TechPP (Technology Personalized) | Nimish Dubey

... it does face challenges from the stock Android brigade in the mid-segment, most notably from the Motorola G6, the Nokia 6.1 (2018) and the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1, but it comfortably outperforms them in terms of general performance, gaming and camera.

India Today | Saurabh Singh

Mi A2 is still quite the deal as a stand-alone device and if you're someone who takes performance seriously and likes to click many good-quality photos then the Mi A2 is definitely the phone to buy.

Trusted Reviews | Jon Mundy

The Xiaomi Mi A2 is a phone that punches way above its weight. A few hardware shortfalls and limited availability drop it just short of an automatic recommendation, but this is deeply impressive stuff from Xiaomi.

91mobiles | Prateek Pandey

The Mi A2's camera capabilities, stock Android and the promise of timely platform updates are clear winners for sure, and if these aspects appeal to you, you can go ahead and pick up the latest from Xiaomi - it won't disappoint you.

The Xiaomi Mi A2 gets the cameras right and is amongst the best camera phones at this price point. However, there are a few chinks in the Mi A2's armour.

Pocket-lint | Mike Lowe

To look at you wouldn't necessarily think the Mi A2 is an, affordable phone. Its build quality, feel in the hand and general operation – especially thanks to the Android One software platform – make it a sleek and capable phone for a price that no other maker can quite match right now.

Firstpost | Nimish Sawant

A good sequel to the first Xiaomi Android One smartphone, but recommending the Mi A2 is not so easy.

Gadgets Now | Komal Mohan

At this price, Xiaomi offers a well-performing mid-range processor, solid camera performance and stock Android experience -- which is hard to find in competition at this price.Just make sure that if you use the wired headphones, carry the connector and put a cover to get rid of uneven back and you'll be set.

Android Authority | Justin Duino

The Palm Phone works, but at its price, you are better off getting an LTE-enabled smartwatch and use that when you want to leave your smartphone at home.

How HandsetExpert Works: We don't run ads on the site, or charge users to use the site. The site is funded using commission links, where we may receive a commission if a phone or tariff is purchased via HandsetExpert. Our editorial, phone scoring and recommendation system and deal-finding algorithms are not affected by this; we are fiercely committed to providing unbiased, independent information.

Important notes

  • We aim to compare as many tariffs in the marketplace from the UK as possible. However, we do not include every package (e.g. legacy tariffs no longer available, or tariffs only available to existing/specific customers), nor do we detail every aspect of every tariff (e.g. international out of bundle rates, on-network minutes, etc).
  • SIM only deals are limited to 30-day and 12-month plans, excluding shorter plans and Pay As You Go rates.
  • For tariffs which offer "unlimited" allowances, there may be times where traffic management or fair usage policies apply.
  • Additional charges for payment methods other than direct debit and for itemised/paper billing may apply.
  • Data only SIM cards, mobile broadband packages, and pay monthly tablets are currently not included in the comparison.
  • Out of bundle charges are not included in the calculation of Average Monthly Cost.
  • Contracts may not be available for some phone models in all colours and/or sizes, and a small number may only be available either as a pay monthly contract or a contract free handset, but not both.
  • Providers may increase the cost of your contract by RPI (inflation). However, if prices are increased that then cause a materially detrimental impact, you have the right to exit your contract without penalty. More details available from Ofcom plus comparative information on customer service and complaints handling & their guide on how to complain.
