According to the listing on Geekbench, we can expect the unreleased smartphone to pack an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 clocked at 2.0 GHz. The smartphone will also run Android Nougat 7.1.2 based MIUI out of the box. We don’t know much about the smartphone apart from the Geekbench listing and the name ‘A1’. Recent reports indicated that the smartphone is likely to be **Xiaomi’s first Android One-based** device. The ‘A1’ in the code name matches up with the guess as it could mean Android One.
