Xiaomi Mi A1 is for sure one of the best mid-range smartphones available today but it seems that the phone has started to feel some heat from the competition. Launched in September this year for Rs. 14,999, the phone has now received a permanent price cut. The announcement was made by Manu Jain on Twitter.

This is not the first time that the Mi A1 is getting a price cut. During the recently concluded sale on Flipkart, the phone was available for Rs. 12,999, its lowest price yet. That was, however, a temporary cut and the permanent price cut soon followed. The official retail price has been dropped by Rs. 1,000.
Mi A1 has been the preferred choice in the segment for many mainly because of the software experience it offers being an Android One device. Things aren’t the same now, though, especially after the recent launch of Honor 7X. The added advantage of the 7X over the Mi A1 is it’s taller 18:9 display with thinner bezels, making the phone look much more appealing and modern looking than the A1 does.
To sweeten the deal, Flipkart is also offering no-cost EMIs which allow you to get the phone with a monthly installment of Rs. 1,556. You can even exchange your old phone for a discount of up to Rs. 13,000. Axis Bank Buzz cardholders can get an extra 5 percent off on their purchase. Apart from this, for a payment of Rs. 149, Flipkart will buy your phone back for up to Rs. 6,200 after a period of up to 12 months.
The Mi A1 sports a 5.5-inch Full HD 16:9 display covered with 2.5D Gorilla Glass. It is powered by the good old Snapdragon 625 processor and is coupled with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. The phone also has dual cameras on the back of 12MP each. One of them is a wide-angle f/2.2 sensor while the secondary camera has a telephoto lens and f/2.6 aperture.
It does support dual SIM using a hybrid slot and still retains the 3.5mm headphone jack. There is a USB Type-C port at the bottom and a battery size of 3080mAh. It runs on stock Android 7.1.2 Nougat and is guaranteed to get Android Oreo and Android P. With the price dropped down, you can grab one for yourself for Rs. 13,999.
