is this phone capable for encryption?? I am between this and the mi a2 with the 660 but cannot decide which one is better. I like the 4000 battery and the jack.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Real Life Review] thorin0815:
Mi A2 Lite uses encryption by default. As for the battery, I'm at 49% battery with 7:46h screen on time. With normal A2 my battery would have been to 0% approximately an hour ago. ;)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Real Life Review] saksoo:
ok thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Real Life Review] C302:
The Mi A2 Lite lags if you install Xposed Framework. I've noticed the difference in performance after installing Xposed. It's because Xposed doesn't fully Support -v8a architecture.

Hello, I'm creating an account in order to give my real-life review of this phone. The previous phones I had were HTC One M8, LG G6.

Please keep in mind that I am a light user.

I do not play games on the device and the most used apps on my phone are

-	Messages

-	YouTube

-	Outlook

-	Firefox

-	Microsoft Excel

While this device is rocking a 625 SOC, there is no lag at all. This may be thanks to stock Android. I am very confident to say that it is as fast as my LG G6 I had before.

Nothing to complain about.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Real Life Review] simone81:
the phone is very fast
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Real Life Review] DonAndress:
Does anyone have a hands on comparison with Snapdragon 800?

I am looking for a replacement for my Samsung Galaxy S4 but I don't want a slower phone (no games, just daily usage, facebook, whatsapp, tapatalk, opera or firefox, switching between apps)...
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Real Life Review] coolwei1:
Fast enough for daily usage.

I rooted it to use Battery Charge Limit and Greenify

No problem when playing pubg on smooth graphic setting.

I am also very satisfied with the battery backup and stock android experience.

Apps launch very quickly, and the animations are very fast. But it is obviously slower than a Snapdragon 845, for example. Reloading a feed such as YouTube may take a little bit of delay.

Nothing that I can consider annoying.

I noticed recently that I have very few apps open in recents. It seems to me like the phone is killing apps prematurely. Thankfully, app launch times are not that bad, so even with reloading it is not terrible.

Hello, I'm creating an account in order to give my real-life review of this phone. The previous phones I had were HTC One M8, LG G6.

Ram management in this phone is not the best in the world. I am not the kind of guy to tap of “clear all apps” all of the time. But if you keep an app open in the background and let it sit of half a day, it will have to reload.

While I pretty much never exceeds 3.5GB of ram usage, I wish apps could be kept open without reloading.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Real Life Review] simone81:
i have 4gb of ram its very smooth phone
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Real Life Review] blue4:
I changed LMK profil in Kernel Auditor to Light and turned off adaptive LMK and changed to 0mb for foreground and visible applications and I can use full ram whitout app reloading, but the phone is still smooth and fast and stable.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Real Life Review] Welicak94:
I have a problem with multitasking.... Processes of all apps turns off right after leaving them. Tried everything, went through all battery settings, developer's settings and such. Tried every option. Multitasking is simply impossible on Mi A2 Lite (Pie 9.0). Apps turns off instantly after I leave them. Optimization for each app is turned off, Adaptable battery turned off, Battery saver turned off, also. Nothing helps; So sad, and it seems there is no solution for this. :confused:

EDIT:

It works, phone needs restart in order for settings to be applied.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Real Life Review] HMMDR27D53-3002:
So far no problems encountered in multi-tasking, on Android 9. Not rooted.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Real Life Review] novak.vujacic97:
Has anybody found any fixes for this?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Real Life Review] calvez9:
It is terrible.

I use the original ram and if I copy text paste it to other app then go back to copy another when I go to paste it's already lost the first before the reload.

For example I copy a bank account number, paste it go back and copy the name and after gone. Because of reload the account number disappears.

And this is just one example how annoying it is
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Real Life Review] novak.vujacic97:
It is pretty bad. Although, I feel that it had been better before certain security updates, but I couldn't remember specifically which ones. Right now, at August update, I've got all optimisations turned off, battery saver turned off, adaptive battery turned off, individual app optimisations are also turned off, in developer settings I've got standard limit of background processes, killing apps is turned off.. I really don't know what else one could turn off, in order to render multitasking operable. I'm on stock with unlocked bootloader. Any help would be massively appreciated, because I am really frustrated by having two out of four gigabytes of RAM which is always free and unused, but my apps are getting killed almost instantly after I've left them.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Real Life Review] godoy.rafa:
My multitasking is better since I have disabled Adaptive Battery.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Real Life Review] novak.vujacic97:
Well, it should be, because, what this option does - it basically either kills all apps (if on) or lets them all work in background literally all the time (if off). That's why it's not really a good idea to keep it off because it will absolutely destroy your battery life.

I haven't updated since the October update and am not planning to - it is the last update that actually works properly regarding multitasking. All my optimisations are turned on and I reboot my phone every time after I've charged its battery - for some odd reason the multitasking works flawlessly after this.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Real Life Review] godoy.rafa:
Yes, if I do this even in November update, my multitasking is good. When I keep the phone on for a couple of days, it deteriorates. For a 3Gb phone, it makes no sense to have bad multitasking... Poor Android development I guess.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Real Life Review] perfect_:
Thats what i am talking about on my Ram Leak thread. Thank you for your comment.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Real Life Review] marstonpear:
Multi-tasking used to be waaaaay better in Android 8.1, but with Pie update it's worsened. I remember being amazed by how many apps could be held open in the background back then. I have the 4/64 version.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Real Life Review] DMaglaras:
I have the 4GB version and I do not really do multitasking (multiple open windows), just share to Telegram and copy-paste between applications. It is anything but snappy; sometimes it takes looong. It does not feel like 4GB memory.

Nothing to complain here. Without tempered glass. Light to slightly moderate user.

Even with tempered glass, my phone is smooth as f*ck. The only app where scrolling is kinda clunky is Firefox, but that's Mozilla's fault.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Real Life Review] pedramtt:
the phone gets hot with normal after one hour

and also gets hot when charging until it gets 70 % charged then it gets cool because it will lower the amp to 1100 approximate from 1700

I really didnt expect to see this 14 nm phone gets hot with normal use

but overal I am satisfied with it

Temperature

In idle mode, the Xiaomi smartphone remains consistently cool, showing no signs of any hotspots. Under load, temperatures rise especially on the front of the device, sometimes even crossing the 40 °C mark. This is still acceptable, though, and it should not pose any problems for everyday use.

The waste heat inside the midrange smartphone is of greater interest to us. We tested the Qualcomm-SoC's temperature behavior with the GFXBench battery test, which repeats a test scenario 30 times in a row while recording the battery level as well as the frame rate. The Redmi 6 Pro's throttling is negligibly low under load during the demanding Manhattan test (OpenGL ES 3.1). The results show a rather constant frame rate with fluctuations lower than 1%, so performance drops under load are unlikely.

This device is never hot. Even in early October, when temperatures could go upwards of 25C/75F, I never had any issues.

Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite heat issues!

Hello.

I have just bought a Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite 4GB/64GB Global Version.

I previously used a 2018 Samsung J3 device which has proved extremely cool (low temp) under any kind of heavy/multi tasks.

Now, with the Mi A2 Lite, after just surfing along the various apps , or just through the phone's menus, or even when idle inside the jacket's pocket, I feel the display area becoming quite warm, and a bit annoying especially when put into my jacket's pocket.

I would appreciate if you could see CPU-Z screenshots and tell me if these temps are normal, or provide a screenshot from your devices.

Thank you.

PS. These temps come even with the energy saver on that somehow keep lower the cores speed/performance (for obvious reasons).

PS2. I am a light/medium user. No gaming.

PS3. Since I am a new user, I cannot put automatic external links (!!!). Please, copy/paste below links to see screemshots.

As I test this device's camera, I think it's one of the weakest things this device can do. Noisy and blurry for a low-light shot.

Edit: I wish I have to reconsider/edit my rating as I also test my family's Vivo mid-range phones without enhancements but HDR (to compare with) can take pictures in low light even worse than this MI A2 Lite, although it's still noisy.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Real Life Review] HDinamarca:
Very bad results with low ligth
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Real Life Review] RFD80M-75679:
I have yet to revise this review again that, due to custom ROMs that fixed GCam focus, manually adding cam2api and GCam, the low light shooting did improved, although sometimes blurry, especially without tripod; but there's a huge improvement over stock anything.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Real Life Review] marstonpear:
Try painting what you see in low light. I'm sure you will get better results than the camera on this phone.

Hello, I'm creating an account in order to give my real-life review of this phone. The previous phones I had were HTC One M8, LG G6.

To my eyes, camera quality is very good. I enjoy the portrait mode.

Obviously, it can't compare to a shot taken with a Pixel 3.

I would say that it takes pictures as good as the LG G6 I had before.

For an everyday user, nothing to complain about.

I very rarely take pictures with this phone, though and I probably have taken only one or two pictures with the front facing camera.

For the price, nothing to complain about.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Real Life Review] rbs_uk:

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Real Life Review] celrau:
You are totally wrong, the camera itself is very good, the apps you have used are bad. Learn to make a distinction between the hardware and software. I'm not gonna advise on this or that app but I've tested the camera itself for possibilities and they are there. It also depends a lot on what you think a good camera is, of course. I'm sure a lot of people are gonna be flamed but trust me, I'm a photographer and I can tell good hardware, one of the reasons I bought this phone. Sorry for the intermezzo.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Real Life Review] rbs_uk:
Celrau,

I`m comparing to Galaxy s8. A2 has crap camera. Advise me on decent app then please.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Real Life Review] DonAndress:
Oh boy... So you're comparing a flagship S8 to a budget A2 and expecting A2 to win that contest? Seriously?

That's partially why A2 is 3-4x cheaper, don't you think?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Real Life Review] celrau:
S8 probably has the same or similar Sony sensor so the raw material is about the same, it's the app that makes pictures look "pretty" to some. Basically those apps reinvent reality. I found Xiaomi camera app to be pretty good by comparison to others. If people want quality pictures they should learn to post-process them, even the most expansive cameras don't do "picture-perfect" and all pros do post-processing to enhance whatever they see fit. Get SnapSeed, it's excellent, free and can really enhance pictures. It's not gonna make you look young and beautiful but it can bring out that punch and the satisfaction that you actually contributed to having a good photo.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Real Life Review] DonAndress:
Yeah, probably. Except it doesn't. S8 has Samsung S5K2L2 camera module.

Besides, Sony offers more than one sensor...

But why are we even discussing this in depth? Do you expect Fiat to have so refined interior as Mercedes has? Come on...

Are you for real, man? :D

You want casual amateur photographers to work on pictures like pros? People expect acceptable quality out of the box. Casual photographers don't even know what gcam is, I assure you. No offense, man but you need to get out of your cave (xda) once in a while ;)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Real Life Review] prydox:
The stock camera is pretty **** to be honest. The magic does gcam. It's like a blast and the pictures are so much better. I'd be very unhappy with the stock camera itself but try out gcam. Insane difference
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Real Life Review] Mohib86:
MI A2 Lite camera is very bad. I'm very disappointed. :(
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Real Life Review] lbsilva:
Camera is definitely not the strongest on A2L, and if you actually do care for quality cameras I suggest you to avoid buying A2L.

If you're like me and simply are a tech enthusiast I say you go for it, it's extremely easy to root and you get the best of both worlds: MiFlashTool support and an easy-to-unlock bootloader (since it has Android One, you don't have to apply for bootloader unlock).

Overall, if you're looking for a good camera, don't buy this phone. The reason why this phone has great specs for its price is because they put an average camera, it does it's job but it's no biggy.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Real Life Review] socioecologist:
I got a Mi A2 Lite to replace my crushed Galaxy S4. The camera is decent for daily non-professional needs. Yet, I am using it to document important office and family events. In broad daylight photos are sharp and detailed. However, in low-light particularly at night time, one should not expect lesser details and instead a soft image and it can be noisy. Yet, there is a low-light scene settings as a remedy for this, which I assume a digital enhancement (photo stacking?). In well-lit environment (i.e. outdoor or high lumen lighting), I found both portrait mode and the selfies are acceptable for prints. For the 1080p video, as a replacement of my S4, it is excellent in term of the additional (gyro?) stabilisation feature, which I always set on; and the natural contrast and ton . Someone said that you can crank it up to 4K resolution with a particular app. Back on photos again, the auto-focus is excellent in well-lit environment, however; if you keen on taking photos of moving objects like children or pets; sometimes it is not reliable.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Real Life Review] phonedriller:
Jesus dude comparing th S8 with the A2 lite is like comparing an Audi A3 with an Audi R8 , damn.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Real Life Review] HMMDR27D53-3002:
According to my tests, It's better for a daylight and extremely bright environment (especially at noon) yet it's not good at low-light environment. The 'bokeh' effect is also there (if desired), but not that deep. Note that I'm still using stock and no modifications made for my test.

And I'm not expecting for 'greater' camera for this device considering with the price range it offers. And yet there are other phones within this device's price range that can take photos even worse.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Real Life Review] thorin0815:
Neither do I, but there are budget phones which can do much better pictures, my old Moto G4 for example.
