You should try out Nokia then you'll never return to Xiaomi ever again.

Mi A1 still a better choice than the newer Xiaomi Android One phones, which are better if their best features are combined, such as USB Type C and Wifi AC support (A2) or SD card support and standard audio jack (A2 Lite only). Mi A1 has all these features plus 2x optical zoom in one fairly well-designed and well-built body. Only I like in Mi A2 Lite is the bigger battery. I don't like the Apple copycat screen. Major shortcoming of all the Xiaomi Android One phones is the lack of front camera flash. So no taking nightime selfies!

Nanook, 30 Aug 2018It has FM radio capabilities when you'r in test mode, but ... moreits useless to have FM Radio hardware but can only be access thru test mode, its very difficult to control the volume & channel, thought there is a apps in Google Play allowed us to skip the long code keying it still go to the test mode.

Stock Android is too bare for my liking, worse still Xiaomi put in there own camera apps which is a lousy one.

It has FM radio capabilities when you'r in test mode, but FM radio app is no where to be found, and there is no way of installing it except if phone is rooted. Very disappointing. That was a must have for me -.-

Subhapriya, 30 Aug 2018Dear All, I have updated my phone to August security patc... moreNO useful purpose will be served (by downgrading). My MiA1 is doing better with 8.1.0 Aug patch. Install app called Greenify (dev. by Oasis Feng), which needs privileges (works on non-root phones also) to run. Using this app, You can hibernate all user apps (when not needed). The system apps can only be stopped using Setting, App, etc. BUT BE CAREFUL!! There are some VITAL Sys Apps, leave them alone. You can also DISABLE quite a few SyS Apps as well (WARNING: be more careful). You can reverse this by Enable. Rebooting will bring back all (enabled) apps and some User apps. Back to Square one. Run Greenify and also kill Sys apps again. All these to save battery. I have been using Greenify since Feb 2013, daily, many times!! Of Course, YOU have to enable Battery Saver option in Android One (all the time) - Best practice used by me! Battery 100% to 15% in 60 hrs and 15% to 100% Charging in 1 hr 30 mins.

I didn't like Android One at first, so lean and thin, a real climb down from loaded and bloated Samsung Android 4.2.2 whose Phone app could be configured to do much; built-in FM rec. App! The Android One has the poorest phone app (and no FM app) and still is poor (Android 8.1.0). But NOW I feel the non-bloat, trim nature of Android One (on MiA1) is an asset and strength! But Android 9 will kill many apps like Phone-call-recorder (uprooted phones) and many unspecified. Google/Android teams think BIG and IGNORES the SMALL. This is going to be a real DISASTER!!
