    Hi do you think this phone will get android 10? I know it's super early but still just a question

      Manab, 05 Feb 2019I have MiA1 since Sep 14, 2017, so longer than you have! I'... moreMay be you are correct.
      I have mine since a week after yours in September 2017.
      I am now waiting for a correctional update from Xiaomi as I have updated tp Pie last month and facing problems w.r.to GPS.
      I hope to get it soon ... at least Xiaomi has not disappointed in the near past.

        Vv5, 19 Jan 2019Happens due to ambient temperature. Summer has arrived. Whe... moreSUMMER in Jan 17 ??!! Are you in Australia/ NZ?
        If heating is the problem now, imagine what'll happen when it is May 17?
        My MiA1 does not get heated up like this, only feels warm. I have it since Sep 14, 2017, seen one blistering summer and one partial one.
        However, I do use Cleanup app Greenify to hibernate all possible apps when not required, One Warm restart per week, One Cold re-booting per month.

          Anonymous, 24 Jan 2019Since i am the among the first batch buyer of MIA1 when it... moreI have MiA1 since Sep 14, 2017, so longer than you have! I've gone through all the OS you mentioned except 9.0 which I REJECT and REFUSE to update to despite 3 notifications per day, every day.
          8.1.0 is very kind to my MiA1 and I'm loyal. The UI is so nice and familiar. I've 269 Apps installed, ALL function as expected. NO to AUTO updating Store Apps. Skip freq. updates, wait for 7-10 days!
          My NO to Android 9Pie is its design, complete break off from 8Oreo! Just like Windows 8 from 7. Too bad Microsoft HAD to come out with Win 10 (which allows features of 7).
          Bugs are bonus from Xiaomi/Androd for Pie users. I anyway didn't bother.
          A Bird in Hand is worth two in the Bush
          9.0 IS THE BUSH

                  anyone know if it s possible to install google camera app into this phone without root or deleting data?

                    Anonymous, 31 Jan 2019No solution for the time been, just wait for a few updates ... moreLet us be hopeful that Xiaomi has, the capacity and will solve these problems which might have arisen after Pie update.

                    and I still feel Mi A1 is a very nice phone (cost & performance wise ).

                      Most probably those issues you mentioned can be solved by May or June 2019 "I hope".. so cross your fingers & don't hold your breath.. lol

                        After updating to Pie, I am now having issues connecting via Wifi when Bluetooth is enabled (regardless if there is a bluetooth device connected or not). It seems that GPS is also not working properly after the update.

                        Any suggestion/s on how I can fix it.

                        Thank you.

                          After upgrade to Android Pie (Jan.5th release) GPS is not working as before on MiA1. Waze can not get connected to GPS. takes coule of minutes till get location when using google Maps. For me looks like sensitivity of GPS receiver is affected. Have tried different ways to get it working without success (delete A-GPS data, different power saving modes, different location accuracy, factory reset..) Nothing helps. Any ideas ?

                              Currently I am facing problem of recent apps not showing up. It always show no recent apps when I minimize the app. When I restart it will work for some time and same problem restarts again.

                                This is one of the best performance phone AT ITS PRICE. Give it an 9 out of 10.
                                I'm not sure if all the device will have the same weird error which I find in Mi A1 so dont rage at me please :)

                                1. Bad multitasking even with 4gb of ram - Force restart the game (ML) on catching a phone call, on scrolling whatsapp message. Some other apps such as FB do force restart sometimes when youre swtiching to insta or whatsapp to read some notifications.

                                2. Under performance of bluetooth connection - I usually connects to my carkit bluetooth for spotify streaming. The connection to the carkit is considerably slow. When the signal is weak, the whole pitch of the song went up and down. (LOL) I switched to Huawei's high end phone (Dont want to sound like im promoting) and non of this funny sound existed.

                                3. Well I do find the phone to be very laggy when google play is updating any apps. It is until a point you need to wait till it is finishing installing the apps to continue using it.

                                4. The mic needs to be highlighted as well. No problem when using handset, however, loudspeaker.. it retrieves most of the background music but not your voice. So it is tough for the other side to hear what youre saying.

                                5. Bad quality of network connection - Well Im not pretty sure how to address this. But when using 4g, a phone call came in, the phone lost all connection to network. However, if it is connected to wifi, youre kinda safe. (Doesnt happen to my new phone though). Wifi signal is alright.

                                6. Gaming performance.. Boo... If youre only playing angry birds, candy crush, and other light graphic games, this phone is alright for that. However, Pubg, Freefire, even mobile legend, framerate is considerably low under lowest graphic setting. The phone gets very hot and laggy after 30 minutes or so.

                                7. Overall UI performance - Crashes. I would say theres a lot of improvement needed for this phone. The newest updates seems to have fixed most of it, but its up to the current user to continue on. So good job on fixing the previous crashes~

                                8. Screen - Well Im having problem to tune the screen light high enough under sunlight. It is at its highest and i still cant really see my phone's screen.

                                With all being said, this is just my user preference when using a phone. The features i didnt touch on, are all great. Camera, speaker, design, fingerprint sensor, and etc, im very satisfied at it.

                                  Anonymous, 24 Jan 2019Since i am the among the first batch buyer of MIA1 when it... more...in fact I got my Mi A1 in the third week of September .. so 16 months of use . It is a nice device ...but with Pie update certain issues like hanging are seen occasionally.

                                    Anonymous, 23 Jan 2019To everyone that says android 7.1.2 is faster than 8.1 oreo... moreSince i am the among the first batch buyer of MIA1 when it first launch (October 2017), i experienced all 4 Android version ie Nougat, Oreo 8.0, Oreo 8.1 & Pie 9.0, all i can says is indeed Nougat been the smoothest & almost zero bugs, GPS is accurate & fast, Oreo 8.0 been the worst.

                                    I doubts anyone here have more experience on MIa1 than me, unless you are Xiaomi Development Staff.

                                      Optimal functionality-wise Oreo 8.1 is better than both Android Nougat & Android Pie.
                                      But for the sake of getting regular security updates , I had no other option except to update it to Android Pie

                                        To everyone that says android 7.1.2 is faster than 8.1 oreo, what are you smoking? Oreo is 2x as fast as nougat. Pie is trash though, f those gestures.
