Android One is a software and hardware standard through which Google controls the development and design of the devices while leaving the building to partner manufacturers in each country.
The program is essentially designed to bring affordable but good quality mobile phones to more people.
It also has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor, 3080mAh battery, a 5.5-inch curved glass display, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB internal storage.
Priced at INR 14,999 ($234), the Mi A1 will be initially available in India, but Xiaomi has revealed that it will land in more than 40 markets globally, including Indonesia, Vietnam, Russia, Poland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Ukraine, and Mexico.
“[The] Mi A1 is a strategic device in our global expansion, marking a milestone on our quest to bring innovation to everyone,” noted Xiaomi senior vice president Wang Xiang.
