    Hi all,
    I currently have a miA and pretty happy with it. My daughter cracked the screen on her phone so I was thinking of upgrading and giving her my mia1.

    I was looking and am in between the MiA2 and the Redmi 6 Pro. Seems better performance,usb c and android one on the A2.....but the screen and battery are a draw on that phone.
    Any advice? Or is there some other model that Id be better off with?
    Budget is ideally under 200.

    thanks

    you want to get the a2 lite , not the redmi 6 pro. the phone specs are the same but a2 lite has stock android.

    a2 - better camera and cpu

    a2 lite - better battery life (over 1/3 more), more modern looks. along with headphone jack and sd card expansion.

    eglobal.eu probably the cheapest buying option but you could be in a for a wait - 10 days usually but if there is a stock shortage more

    honorbuy.com if in stock with the europe option in a few days

    A2 lite does have the same snapdragon 625 but it runs super smooth and fast on android pie - it's enough unless you want to play PUBG at highest settings.

    so I'd still recommend it. it looks more modern than the A1

    if you're happy enough with the A1 battery life maybe go for the A2 then.

    the main draw of the A2 lite is the long batttery life.
