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.
