We very recently heard rumours that Xiaomi may announce the supposed Mi A2 later this month as part of a global launch, but a Polish website now reveals that there might not just one smartphone that Xiaomi is planning to launch.

Mi.com[/caption] A Polish publication named GsmManiak in a report has just revealed that a second smartphone, touted as the Mi A2 Lite will also likely be launched. As the name suggests, the Mi A2 Lite will be a toned down version of the Mi A2, but there is a surprise element here revealed by the leaked renders of the smartphone on an e-commerce website named X-kom . The images were later removed by the retailer but folks at GsmManiak did manage to get a screengrab before they were removed. The Mi A2 Lite comes with a display which has a notch and looks very similar to the recently launched Redmi 6 Pro in China. Unlike the Redmi 6 Pro though, it is seen running Android One, which is a welcome sight. The A2 Lite is expected to feature a 5.84-inch display at a resolution of 1080x2280 pixels. Inside, were expected to see a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 chipset along with 4 GB RAM and 64 GB of onboard storage. As for optics, there is a slight downgrade from the Mi A2’s dual-camera setup. On the back of the A2 Lite, expect to see a 12 MP f/2.2 primary sensor along with a 5 MP secondary sensor. There is no word on the front camera yet. Powering the phone will be a larger 4,000 mAh battery. [caption id=“attachment_4733001” align=“alignnone” width=“1280”] Render of the Mi A2 and A2 Lite.

The 4 GB RAM/32 GB storage variant of the Mi A2 is expected to be priced at 1,299 polish Zloty (which is approximately Rs 23,999) while the 4 GB RAM/64 GB variant comes in at 1,399 Polish Zloty (approximately Rs 25,800) and the top 6 GB RAM/ 128 GB storage variant will set you back by 1,599 Polish Zolty (Rs 29,500).

Now, these prices do seem a little inflated so do expect the Indian pricing to be cheaper by a margin.
