Just when everyone was starting to think Google's Android One project did not live to it's hype, top chinese smartphone maker, Xiaomi, have announced the Xiaomi A1, the company's first Android One device.

The Xiaomi A1 packs all the awesome features of Android One plus an upgraded hardware. The phone will cost about $234 (~ N84,200) that's way more than the usual $50 - $100 Android One devices which had been released earlier.

The change in pricing could be a strategy by Google to reach more high end users and initiate them to the Android gang.

Of course, a higher price means higher end hardware, and Xiaomi doesn't disappoint here. Let's take a look at the specifications of the device.
