Have been using this phone since its launch date, The phone itself is great but it seems either Google(?) or Xiaomi(?) purposely wants people to abandon Mi A1 and switch to their respective newer available phones by giving problematic updates.

GPS not working after upgrading from Android 8.1 to Android 9. I have waited long for a gps fix update and unfortunately even July 2019 update does'nt fix the gps issue. It's comical and outrageous at the same time!

4G issue is real! I have dropped connections multiple times everyday even though I live at a city and download speed are considerably lower from 9.9Mbps to around 6.5-7.5Mbps only!

Battery drain issue is there, but since I'm a light user I can get by each day no problem.

Helpful reminder : STAY on Android 8.0/8.1! DO NOT upgrade to Android 9!

              Memory started acting up after one year of use, I wasn't able to save absolutely anything so I checked various forums and turns out some Mi A1 phones have an issue with memory, apparently chip wasn't manufactured correctly. Really frustrating, but Pie firmware fixed the problem and so far no issues with the phone. Regarding battery drain for some users, mine actually consumes less battery now which is great. It's a russian roulette with this phone basically.

                      I have Used this phone from last one year and still i am using this one but as per opinion and review by the customer which is posted in this site is totally wrong this phone still working fabulous and i have not faced the problem like that.

                      If you are facing the problem then u have to remove unused apps and make ur phone Updated with latest firmware always clean ur history after using 1 hrs and switch off ur mobile for 2 hrs on a day.

                      delete extra folder with unnecessary data from file manager . Clear all catches from apps on week . Then You will never face the issue like this till die.

                          When I first got my MiA1 it was one of the best phones I have ever had. I have the International version purchased from Amazon USA. After the Pie and Security updates the phone battery drain issue is too much. I have even tried the hard factory and it did not solve the battery drain issue.

                          I loved this phone and love Xiaomi but am so disappointed in the lack of support. I have no choice but to revert to my Moto 5G.

                          So Sad!
