Xiaomi Mi A1 review

12 October 2017
With the Xiaomi Mi 5X confined to the domestic Chinese market soon after launch, its double, the Mi A1, is called upon to boost the brand's global presence. Steered by Google, Android One is full of potential and Xiaomi's looking keen on getting its message across a wider audience and, of course, making some profit in the process with the Mi A1.

To all those who think that MI A1 gives Corning Gorilla Glass 3 Protection.
My answer to them
MI A1 does not have any Gorilla Glass Protection whatsoever. The quality of the screen glass is even worse than any smartphone, I repeat, the screen glass quality is worse than any smartphone available in the Indian market. I was using this phone till Dec 30, 2017 when it slipped from my hand and believe me in just a single fall, the screen broke so badly that it was even difficult to receive calls because the broken glass use to sting on my face and ear pinna (outer ear); forget about navigating the screen with bare hands.

So friends, before going ahead with buying this phone, think more than twice about the product's build quality. Because product's durability does matters in the long run. Would strongly recommend other brands over MI for care-free usage.

        Nick, 25 Dec 2017I'm using mi A1 in one month very very worst product Hangi... moreI was also facing the freezing problem for over two months on almost daily basis. called customer care and was advised to do factory reset..reason given- one of the previous monthly updates had corrupted the software..
        wasn't sure whether to go for it or not...but post reset and it's been 2 weeks...not faced the screen issue even once..

        wish i had done it earlier...still happy and no more complaints :)

                        Should I purchase the Xiaomi Mi A1 or the Xperia XA1 Ultra? Seems like:

                        Mi A1 advantage:
                        Faster processor and Android One

                        Mi A1 disadvantage:

                        Inferior cameras to XA1 Ultra

                        Thoughts?
