We might be getting two Android One versions of the Xiaomi Mi 6X, after all. A phone named Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite has been spotted in the database of Singapore’s Infocomm Media Development Authority, the Philippines’ version of the National Telecommunications Agency or NTC.

The China-exclusive Mi 6X is the successor to 2017’s Xiaomi Mi 5X and its international version, the Xiaomi Mi A1 pure Android phone. So it is widely believed that the global variant of the 6X will be called the Xiaomi Mi A2.

The Mi A2’s existence has already been confirmed a week ago, on the website of regulatory body Eurasian Economic Commission. Meaning the phone might be launched in Europe in the future. It’s listed on the site with a still-unannounced Xiaomi Mi Note 5.

It’s now almost 100 percent possible that the smartphone with model numbers M1805D1SC, M1805D1SE, and M1805D1ST spotted on the site of China’s TENAA regulatory agency is the Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite, considering that the one that appeared in Singapore has almost the same model number: M1805D1SG. Only the last two characters are different.
Is this the Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite?
According to TENAA, the device has the following specs:
- 5.84-inch notched screen, 2,220 x 1,080 resolution
- Octa-core processor clocked at 2GHz
- 2GB/3GB/4GB RAM
- 16GB/32GB/64GB built-in memory
- Dual: 12 megapixels + a still-unknown sensor
- 5-megapixel front camera
- Fingerprint sensor (rear-mounted)
- 3,900mAh battery
- Android 8.1 Oreo
Of course, the Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite could just be the 4GB/32GB Mi 6X model that was announced two days ago, more than a month after the unveiling of the units with higher memory configurations.

The newly unveiled version is priced at ¥1,500 (roughly P12,271 or $234). The ones with 4GB/64GB, 6GB/64GB, and 6GB/128GB configurations, on the other hand, retail at ¥1,599 (P13,235 or $253), ¥1,799 (P14,891 or $285), and ¥1,999 (P16,546 or $316), respectively.
But we doubt it. We’re going with the TENAA bit. We’ll see how things end up in the coming weeks. Hopefully, the wait won’t be that long.
