Xiaomi Mi A1 sequel may have been uncovered with Snapdragon 660 chip
July 13, 2025
Xiaomi may be preparing aMi A1successor, according to a report fromXDA. The speculation is based on a new device’s firmware files, and it looks like it would be an Android One handset like the original.
The smartphone, codenamed “jasmine_sprout” and possibly being released as the Xiaomi Mi A2, would reportedly arrive with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chipset. The files also suggest it may be based on the recently revealedXiaomi Mi 6X(like the Mi A1 was based on the Mi 5X) and would runAndroid 8.1 Oreoout of the box, with Project Treble support.
For context, the Mi 6X comes with a 6-inch, Full HD+ (2160 x 1080) display, Snapdragon 660 SoC, 4 or 6GB of RAM and up to 128 GB storage, in addition to a dual 12MP + 20MP rear camera with 2x optical zoom and a 3010 mAh battery.
XDAalso found evidence of a potential Xiaomi Redmi Android One device, codenamed “daisy_sprout,” which would include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 chip. Xiaomi CEO Lei Jen hinted only acouple of weeks agothat the Redmi series would be getting its own Android One device, and the recently leakedXiaomi Redmi S2is said to include a Snapdragon 625 chipset, so there’s a chance the Redmi Android One phone will be based on this.
There were several clues in the firmware files that support the speculation, including the “_sprout” suffixes spotted in the two codenames, which are associated with Android One phones (the Xiaomi Mi A1 was codenamed “tissot_sprout”). The firmwares’ lack of MIUI system apps point toward Android One handsets too.
We don’t have any further details on the handsets or when they might be released, but we’ll hopefully be able to provide more information soon.
