The Indian variant of the Xiaomi Mi A2 also comes with Qualcomm Quick Charge 4+, unlike the EU variant that offered Quick Charge 3.0. We already knew the smartphone was exclusive to Amazon and now other details like the Mi A2 price in India, booking process, and release date have been confirmed as well.

Xiaomi also revealed that 10 million smartphones were sold in the last quarter in India. Read on for all the information from the launch event.
