Xiaomi Mi A1 is official with stock Android

05 September 2017
The phone is the latest Android One device with the same hardware specs as the Xiaomi Mi 5X.

Nice. Too bad it doesn't have NFC. The only drawback for me.

    Moto G5s Plus will be better. I'm laughing how do they compare dual camera with iphone 7 or One Plus 5???

      You have to eat your own frying pan.

        Androidloveralways, 05 Sep 2017Why should I buy this phone over moto g5s plus? If it had 4... moreFor the Price you have to sacrifice something's

        But comparing with moto g5s plus it much better and add to that the updates you will get directly from google

        Its dual camera is better
        USB Type C
        IR blaster
        Stock Android [Android One ]
        Etc etc you can list various differences between the two

        Every single security update will be pushed out

        In Motorola's case you will get updates only one in 4-6 months

        I am not entirely sure but u think that this phone has fast charging cause its twin the Mi 5x has fast charging also this will sell a lot cause this is not targeted at a single market but in various markers around the world

            The hype for this phone got way out of hand, which makes this announcement now feel... underwhelming. In fact, at just bellow 200 Eur and yet still being an official "Android One", it really is an amazing piece of kit to run 3rd-party ROMs.

            Can't wait to see what the future holds.

              I think GSMA should test the battery endurance of the MIUI-running 5X and the Android One A1, to see whether MIUI brings down the battery life in any way.

              Nevertheless, I hope this pushes Xiaomi towards using a more stock-looking interface for their MIUI, kind of like the change Lenovo has incorporated into it's UI.

                      Good news.. Slightly premium though lesser battery than RN4. But its okay for USB-C with fast charging, Dual camera, Stock OS with updates, MI's premium build over RedMI's..

                        Why should I buy this phone over moto g5s plus? If it had 4000 mah battery, then it would have been perfect mid ranger. With 3000mah battery and no fast charging this is just the phone of compromise.

                          Will it have band 20? The countries list looks like it should, but who knows.

                              Seems very close to a perfect mid-ranger.
                              A single camera setup and a slightly lower price tag would be ideal.

                                stock android is always a good idea

                                  Boring.
                                  Stock android gets bored on longterm because of looks.


                                  Nexus user/IOS user/Grace UX user.

                                  I have used 3 stock androids in past,Galaxy Nexus/Lg Nexus 5 and android One phone for secondary purpose.

                                    Why does it have to copy the design of the iphone 7 plus?
                                    That's actually a turn off. it's a pity. Chinese brands need to realise that they need to have their own identity.

                                      Just a rebranded Mi 5x with stock android lol. Xiaomi has gotten free stock of Snapdragon 625 from Qualcomm it seems.
