ROUND-UP

and Second Space (which lets you create a separate
environment on your phone and is handy if someone
else is using it).

Verdict
Xiaomi phones can be off-putting for users in the UK
because of their MIUI interface and lack of support for
Google Play, but that is not the case with this Mi A2
Lite. It’s running Android One, with full Google services
preinstalled, and you don’t need to import it from
China. It offers excellent value for money and easily
surpasses other budget phones at this price point, with
a good all round spec that includes a premium design,
decent cameras and great performance. Marie Black
