We have some good news for Xiaomi fans in Pakistan. Xiaomi Mi A1 is finally coming to Pakistan. You can expect to see the phone in online stores by the end of this month.

Xiaomi’s representatives for Pakistan have confirmed that the phone will be up for sale during the latter part of October.

Xiaomi Mi A1 Android One smartphone was built with collaboration between Google and the Chinese smartphone giant. The Android One programme is one of Google’s projects which aims to provide affordable smartphones for 3rd world countries with quick Android updates.

Design and Display

The Mi A1 comes in a unibody metal frame complete with a dual camera setup and a fingerprint sensor on the back. The phone looks relatively simple from the front however.

For the display, Mi A1 uses a 5.5 inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution IPS LCD display.

Internals and Storage

Powering the Mi A1 is an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor, a mid-range staple. It has 4 GB RAM and 64 GB of expandable storage. Unfortunately it has a hybrid microSD/SIM card slot meaning you can’t go for a dual SIM+ microSD card combo.
