My Mi A1 is going to complete three years in about 30 days time.
Battery, power and volume switches are troubling now.
Waited for an Android One from Xiaomi but they have disappointed by discontinuing Android One program. So bye to Xiaomi as I have decided to look for pure Android experience elsewhere .. from other manufacturers.
Any suggestions.

I have a spare Moto G3 phone where I use custom ROMs. I change its ROM every week.
Once a buy a new phone, even MiA1 of mine will be up for custom ROMs.
However, for regular usage I still prefer Pure Android. No nonsense and I get my stuff done without the need for any additional features in terms of software.

This is a huge problem when coupled with delayed software updates. More than half of the time you are spending on updating the Samsung apps which you cannot delete, which are occupying the space and are actually duplicating the functions already available on Google apps.
That's why I prefer Pure Android OS phones.

So it's time to start looking for an alternative which gives clean Android.
Got few on list and have also conveyed to Xiaomi about future of Android One devices.
Will wait till October end. Then will take an appropriate decision.

A bad news for those waiting for Mi A4. On GSMArena it was posted that there would be no more Android One phone from Xiaomi means Mi A3 was last in the line of Android One phones by Xiaomi.
I will hold on to my Mi A1 as of now. It would be 3 years next month that I am using this phone. Absolutely no problem at all and working butter smooth.

But we bought it besides knowing about it. so, we can't complain. It is working well except for buttons.
For a budget phone and knowing how updates would come, I don't think we can complain more but still, I believe it is wrong practice that phone companies would stop with version updates.

I am using power button and volume controller app. If I somehow need to restart the phone, it becomes really hard. I wish they added better hardware buttons.
Is there any double tap to wake app that we can use that doesn't drain the battery?
