          M0J007, 30 Jun 2018Wow so much hate! "Created by Xiaomi, Powered by Google ... moreMiA1 is not 100% pure Android, Xiaomi add in there own camera software & Mi Feedback, Mi Remote Control, So the update need to go thru Xiaomi, before it reaches consumer, Google only update directly to Pixel phone.

          Nokia despite same Android One phone is more stable then Xiaomi, this mean Nokia team do better job.

          In conclusion is Xiaomi fault.


            radhiv9319, 30 Jun 2018Interested to buy this phone for my little brother, please ... moreI recommend max1 pro ,only the camera is weak but it beats other phones mentioned in every department plus you get Android p ,note 5 pro will only get Oreo

              Mi is spending more resources on releasing new phones every other day than working on the software as in result ,it's just all bugs ,I remember Oreo was so buggy when they released last year ,and 8.1 will be same ,I guess I am done with mi phone ,even though they give good specs at affordable price ,what's the point if they keep pushing buggy software updates and you are stuck with nougaut even after buying their 2018 phone like note 5 pro ,their software development needs to improve otherwise they are looking at downfall

                Really Nokia is always reliable for android one. They have previous nokia employees and have experience on OS stability.
