Favorite Phone Under $250 - Mi A2​

Year 2018, The most important phase in smartphone segment where $1000 era for a device is around every corner! but Mid-range $250 smartphones were the backbone to all of it.!

Just 5 years back, the maximum Camera of a flagship models is 8Mp - 12Mp Single lens, whereas now dual to triple camera lens were on the way, we actually have to thank all the smartphone manufacturers for bringing the best devices which can perform equally in every department, moreover they can compete against flagship models under the price tag starting from $250 - $300 Maximum.

I personally a Honor Fan, have to thank them for bringing lot's of mid-rangers starting from Honor Holly series to Honor X series.!

I am huge fan of Honor Smartphones, after Honor 6x, Honor 9 Lite, Honor 8 Pro, Honor 10 & latest addition to my family is Honor 7a but my favourite this time is Mi A2 even though i didn't own it.!

It's very difficult for me to go with any other brand from Honor, but still i have to choose a favourite one,

Mi A2 - Android One

Launch Year - July 2018

Storage Options - 4gb - 32/64gb or 6gb/128gb

Price - $235 / ₹16,999 - 4gb/64gb

Favoritism​

Operation System - Android One, These two words is enough!

Price - Under $250, it's enough for me with 4gb/64gb with Unlimited Google Photos option comes in handy as well.!

Camera - 12 MP, f/1.8, 1/2.9", 1.25µm 20 MP, f/1.8, 1/2.8", 1.0µm, PDAF (Front as well)

Chipset & Hardware - Snapdragon 660 AIE with Qualcomm Quick Charge 4.0, Bluetooth 5.0 & Corning Gorilla Glass 5 display.

Compromises​

Headphone Jack, Big Battery & Notched Display 19:9 ratio

I personally won't mind about "Headphone Jack" or "Bigger battery" since It's Android One it's capable of running a day! & can spend a few bucks for USB Type-C Headphone as well.!

People will always go for right price with right specifications, even though it required a few bucks around Minimum $50.!

Request to Honor:-​

Honor is the first smartphone which has bought budget to mid-range with Holly & X series devices which performed in every aspects! But Honor missed Holly series in later 2016, given space to other brands but thankfully now Honor 7a & 7s value for money with decent cameras! The most dependable series is X series where you people did great with Honor 6x, Honor 7x & now Honor 8X is already looks stunning in every corners!

I personally felt where Honor given space to other brands is that why Honor went on launching Honor 9i, later on Honor 9 Lite and now it's Honor 9N/9i 2018 with same Kirin 659/655 processors!!?? that's where the other brands had a upper hand.! Yes Honor 9i or Honor 9 lite launched with Quad Camera's but at least it should have been renamed as Honor 8x with Quad Camera's with Notch design, then Honor would have been the first smartphone manufacturer to bring those features in Mid-range series like you guys did in 2016 with Honor 6x with Dual lens camera.

Ok fine! but at least, should have considered about launching anyone of Honor 9i/Honor 9 lite with Snapdragon 625/636 with EMUI or Kirin 659 EMUI with Android One, anyone of these would have been a game changer in Smartphone segment of 2017-18!

If other brands like Mi, Asus can do means why not Honor.!? with Kirin / Android One or Snapdragon / EMUI - I hope like me, many users would love to see this happening in near future! Moreover, i would like to share more thoughts/ design concepts to Honor Team, if there is any opportunities like this in coming days!

Thanks alot XDA Team & Honor for bringing this wonderful opportunity to share our thoughts :)
