Xiaomi Mi A2, a rebranded version of Mi 6X launched in China in April, is expected to make official debut soon. The company has already shared teasers of a global launch event, where Mi A2 could be launched. Now, a live image of the upcoming phone confirm the existence of Mi A2 and that it will run stock Android version. The smartphone image shared by tipster Slashleaks has ‘About phone’ tab in Settings open, which reveals key specifications of the device.

Xiaomi Mi A2 will ship with stock Android 8.1 Oreo version with no MIUI skin. The phone will also come with May 2018 Android security patch. It will be powered by Snapdragon 660 processor, something that has been hinted previously as well thanks to leaks. To recall, Xiaomi Mi A1 (Mi 5X in China) was the company’s first Android One phone. It runs stock Android version and was launched globally at an event in India.

Last month, Xiaomi India put out a teaser on Twitter for a new smartphone. Though it hints at a global event, there is no reference to the venue, date or time. Since the tweet has posted on the Mi India handle, many believe the company is likely to launch the Mi A2 in the country in the coming days.
