More
hands on photos with the all
new Xiaomi M2A, alongside the more costly Xiaomi M2S, but from what we know of the
phone and the
specs we would happily by the cheaper of the two.
Xiaomi, being Xiaomi, made the rather odd decision to launch a
new low-cost Android
smartphone, which not only has a larger
display than their current
flagship model, but even adds features that the more costly
phone cannot physically have!
As the Xiaomi M2A is an all
new phone, the engineers in Beijing have given it a larger 4.5-inch 720 display, they have also given the
entry-level smartphone the same 8 mega-pixel
camera as the
flagship M2S (at least the same as the 16GB M2S the
32GB has a 13 mega-pixel camera),
NFC,
Dirac Audio and 5Ghz Wifi standard!
Even with all that and the more attractive and refined body on the M2A, Xiaomi are managing to sell the new phone at 500 Yuan ($80) less than the quad-core flagship phone!
The Xiaomi M2A is powered by a dual-core 1.7Ghz
Snapdragon 600 CPU, 1GB RAM, and 8 mega-pixel
camera. It uses the latest version of Xiaomi's
MIUI ROM, version 5 and will be on sale soon for 1499 Yuan ($242).
