Strangely I bought a Global version but it came installed with Indian firmware, plus some Xiaomi apps installed. If someone knows where to download the official stock global Nougat firmware for Mi A1, I'd be very thankful.

After experiencing Nougat, Oreo & Pie, i would say Nougat 7.1.2 is still the best, Oreo been the worst, if you are on Oreo now then update it to Pie, but if you are still on Nougat then just stay in Nougat.

My phone hasn't been updated since buying. I'm afraid to update because of any software problems that might occur, but it started slowing down so I assume I have to update it. Any suggestions: should I update or leave it like this ?

The phone actually supports 256gb, I'm using it.
A good phone with good community support, except for the small battery.

What you mentioned is beta version of custom ROM 'Pixel Experience' of Android 10.
Bleak chances that it will get official Android 10.

The performance still good in 2 years operation. Still good to playing modern game like Call of Duty and PUbg. But the multitasking isn't good.

But you claim to be using it from 2.5 years. How is it possible?
Anyway it's a great phone and can go on for at least a year more without any issues. Till then it will be time for 5G compliant phones. I would suggest to buy any new Android One phone ( Nokia would be reliable) in 2020.
Till then have great time with mi A1.
Till this day I have had no problems with it.

Everybody who has problem with gps try this.
Kick your phone upper backside where is gps antena. I ve found this advice on some forum and it really works. It seams it's a hardware problem. I was long time looking for solution.Tried everything. Even install custom rom and nothing helped.For info I'm on pixel rom. And what really matters my phone was never dropped. It could be a bad contact on housing.
Please somebody confirm or I m wrong.

MiA1 has very snappy GPS back in 2017 when i first bought it, the issue begin after November 2017 update & get worsening after Oreo update on 31st December 2017, since then the issue never able to resolve till date, certain month update improves it slightly & then it get totally useless, that's why i suspect it's due to the firmware update.

GPS connection has been a consistent issue with
Mi A1 for the last 1½ years. And most of us were blaming the updates that were received during the course of two years period, but to me it looks like a hardware issue on this device.
Will someone enlighten us about GPS situation on subsequent Xiaomi devices.....
