It's the lite version. How do I get the best of the phone? Very boring

To get the best out of the phone you have to work at it and customise it yourself. Its actually enjoyable if you like phones and have time to spend.

As for the fm radio, update your OS to Android 9 ( its easy), the app will now be available.

Bros it is not an upgrade, you are justing changing over to another OS.

Most experienced Android users actually prefer stock android because they can tweak it the way they deem fit safely.

I suggest you go to Xiaomi thread on here and ask someone their to flash MIUI for you because I have a feeling if you do it yourself you will brick the phone.

Also, if you are indeed using Mi A2 and not the lite version you still will not have an inbuilt data-free FM radio app if you flash to MIUI. Your phone, like most stock android phones is really made for Europeans and they are not bothered about FM radio as they prefer streaming radio apps.
Tell him brother, this right here is stock AOSP ROM with nothing outta the box

Stock Android, not just stock rom, two different things. Stock Android is the way Google designed the Android Os to be. Its appearance is different from what you find in many big OEMS like Samsung, Huawei, etc. What you find in e.g Samsung, is the Android Os with modifications or additional features like icon packs, themes, wallpapers, gallery, file manager,etc. When such additions are made to the original Android Os, the Os is then referred to as skinned Android, not stock anymore. Examples of Skinned Android are the One UI on Samsung phones, Oxygen Os on Oneplus devices, Miui on most Xaiomi phones, Emui on Huawei devices, Xos on Infinix phones, etc.
you're always reliable . Kudos bros

Why not just sell the phone and go for another phone you would prefer?

There are several Xiaomi phones within that 70k region or even less with all the bloatware you need

If you don't have anything reasonable to say you better keep quite. Nobody ask for your opinion. I downloadd more than 10 radio apps, even when the developers says offline, u still need internet to use it. Many junk apps on playstore. You're saying I don't know how to use phone. Don't insult me

Thank you jare.
Any andriod one you see is stock Android, just Google apps only. The reason for this is to enable google to easily upgrade the phone from andriod os to another, but skinned android os are manufacturer dependent and not all manufacturers will want to spend resources in testing a new Android os, they rather make another phone with the new os. So once you get Android one, you get back to playstore and add what you want, you may need to google search (or use nairaland) to easily get reviews of such apps before heading back to playstore

Dude is on stock AOSP ROM and he's making noise, I use only stock AOSP ROMs on my Android devices. Very fast and you customize to your taste. cheesy

Start by going to playtore and download everything Google,
. Calendar gallery, contact, phonebook, music, fiiemanager, gcam

You've got a beast on your hands bro with no bloatwares to eat up your RAM and CPU cheesy
So 3gig ram is not 2.89?
