Xiaomi announced their first smartphone that supports stock Android and a dual-rear camera setup in India today. The device is priced at Rs 14,999 and the Chinese company has partnered with Google's Android One project to make this phone a possibility. When Android One was launched in India back in 2014, the goal was to get the next billion people online by providing them with high quality, affordable phones. It seems like the dream may come true with the Mi A1.

The smartphone will be available to purchase from September 12 onwards via Flipkart, Mi.com and Mi Home stores. The company will also be partnering with large retails stores such as Vijay Sales, Croma, eZone, Hotspot and others to capture the offline market. If you are an Airtel customer, you can avail 200GB of additional free data with the purchase of the smartphone. The smartphone will soon launch in other regions i.e. Europe, Middle East, Africa, Mexico and Asia Pacific.

During the launch, Jon Gold, Director, Partner Programs, Google, said, "As phone manufacturers continue to innovate by delivering high-quality devices at accessible price points, keeping the inside of one's phone innovative, fresh and secure is critical to a great experience. We're extending our commitment to Android One by working with more partners to build phones that run a software experience designed by Google."

The Mi A1, in terms of specs, has a 5.5-inch full HD resolution display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor, 4GB RAM and 64GB storage (which is expandable), and a 3000 mAh battery. The rear camera has two 12MP+ 12MP lenses while one being telephoto and the other being a wide angle lens.

The Mi A1 also has the 'bokeh'/portrait mode which is the key highlight of the device. Thanks to the dual camera setup, users can now take portrait shots where the background is blurred out while keeping the subject in focus to give the DSLR effect. The smartphone has a unibody metal design with subtle antenna lines at the back of the smartphone. The smartphone will be available to purchase in three colours i.e. Black, Gold and Rose Gold.
