Xiaomi has today unveiled the Mi A2 Lite smartphone at an event in Spain, alongside the Mi A2. The Mi A2 Lite is one of the most affordable Xiaomi devices to feature a notch-equipped display that will be available in the international market, following the Redmi 6 Pro which was recently announced in China.
