Mi A1 screen is the same as Mi 5X?

I'm considering the A1 however judging from videos i've seen on Youtube, the screen is washed out compared with the Mi5X and others Xiaomi phones.
Is that really the case here, and does it have an option to calibrate colors in the settings section. Thanks in advance
I'll have both in my hands this weekend, and maybe I can return with comparison.
In advance, I can say that Redmi 4A and Redmi 4 Prime both have much more light than my screen (Mi A1).
In terms of quality, colors, other stuff, I'm too newbie to comment, but brightness is surely much more, making it waaaaaay better to see stuff in daylight.

Nice, thanks for the feedback i'll wait then.
Ok, I compared both, and Mi A1 brightness is much smaller than Mi 5X.
I'm not sure If I forgot to take the picture, or if I took it and it's lost on someone's phone... Sorry, family parties, new year, I can't remember...
I would say that Mi 5X on 50% is the same as Mi A1 on 100%.

This price is joke. I wouldn't buy even for 399
Hi end phone with low end software
For that price I would definitely buy OP5T
What do you mean with low-end software though? Afaik xiaomi is one of the few vendor who updates regularly even their 5 y/o devices & always update android's latest security patch & their flagships line-up get comparably faster in update of latest android version. From customer's standpoint, that is pretty high-end maintenance there.

Exactly even I also think same for the price it offers. OP5T is a fantastic device in its price range even beats all competitive devices like LG V30 Plus, Honor View 10 & Samsung devices :fingers-crossed:
I have both the OnePlus 5T and the Mi6 Blue ceramic.
They are VERY different phones.
The OnePlus is excellent - very fast, very smooth and the OS has the biggest development community on XDA.
The Mi 6 is excellent also. If you know what you're doing, it photographs better, the oleophilic coating on the screen is much nicer, the feel in the hand is better than any other phone out there. And it's fast.
It's like BMW vs. Mercedes. Very different. Very capable.
The biggest difference is that the OP it's OLED and the Mi6 is LCD.
So.
I'm looking forward to seeing the Mi 7.

Mi 6 is good but the price is the main factor that we all should look before buying the device. In my opinion, OP 5T is a fantastic device that offers worth for bucks what we spend on it. :fingers-crossed:

What about asking these questions in your device's section next time as here's not for your device but Mi 6? But I'm sure all of them are asked there dozens of times and answered as well.

Looks like you'll be at mi a2 forums as the two devices are actually identical apart the software that they're shipped with.

Not really. Xiaomi thought about this so they f'd up some things. Mi 6X has only Treble A partition while A2 has AB.

Mi A1 Vs Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus

Hello everyone, I'm intending buying a new phone in the Middle range prices and after some researches i sticked to this 2 choices: Mi A1 and Redmi 5 Plus, i'm not fascinated by the 18:9 aspect ratio, i'm just looking for handy Value for money phone especially in terms of future supporting by developers.
what do you think?
After my Redmi 4 Prime i can say you one thing..
NEVER BUY A REDMI PHONE.
Redmi Note and Mi series are ok.
Sent from my Mi A1 using XDA Labs
Got a Mi A1, in love with !
Mi A1 Best choice for me
I'm satisfied with my A1, no issues.
Running latest stock Oreo, Jan 1 update.

Buy Redmi Note 5 pro
Few weeks back, my biggest headache was to choose between the A1 or Redmi Note 4. Both phone are great, and of course the rn4 has big battery. And undoubtedly, the rn4 developer support is really really great. Unlike Mi A1 right now, well, there is development going but..hmm..
The rn5 looks nice with that 18:9 screen.. not sure bout how will the dev support be for that device tho. Anyhow, loving my A1 :victory:
Easily redmi 5 or 5 plus. Mi A1 is good but the redmi will probably be so much supported on xda and that 18:9 display is gorgeous. And the battery!
It really depends on the taste of android u want. Mi a1 offers pure stock vanilla Android just like in Google pixels and redmi note 5 offers miui a heavily skinned custom Ron with loads of features.
Also mi a1 has dual camera for portrait mode shots and redmi note 5 doesn't ( I suppose). If u are a big fan of the latest updates offered by Google then mi a1 is the way to go.

Since Mi A1 didn't get any stable custom roms yet even though Xiaomi releases the Kernel Source, i'm afraid the developers left this device!
Hopefully redmi 5 and 5 plus get Xda developers Support, but till now no independent
thread for both of them

developer support for the phone is a MUST!
I was going to buy Meizu M6 note... same Mi A1 price and defiantly beats it specially with both Cameras, but since it doesn't have any Supporting i left it!

If developer support is a must for you, then I guess you should wait for xiaomi to release rn5 pro kernel sources and then get that phone. The A/B partition in the A1 might be one of the reasons why the A1 have not been getting much love..

Go for Redmi Note 5 Pro period.!
I have the Meizu m6 note and it's a great.
Great battery, good camera, no lag, but also no development either.
I have the Redmi 5 plus on order and had hoped it would be here by now. Ordered it January 29.
Hopefully it is supported.

IMO, since the 18:9 screen doesnt fancy you, then it comes to camera vs battery. A1 for camera and R5+ for battery.

According to camera comparisons, Redmi Note 5 has a vastly better camera even though it's single vs dual.
Not much seems to be going for A1 unforunately, except Oreo.

do you buy this phone today?

I need change my nubia z11 mini s, the volume of calls is unusable is so low, never was good at all. I have found an offer about 200 euros is like new on amazon, i was looking to get redmi note 7pro, xiaomi 8 or meizu 16 I love meizu design and camera looks pretty nice but lacks of support and scene. Maybe in a future I will buy nokia 9 pureview.
I am not sure about to do, I had a desire and keeping good memories. But it just have one camera, could i have bouquet efect pictures? The frames really doesn't like me but and size. I am looking as well a good mic for calls, before the z11 I had a sony z3c and as well fails on mic calls was horrible in the end of phone live.
The phone is still worth it? Seems that doesn't have too may scene and rooms. In Spain this brand is dead literally really few people have it.
Do still buy it nowdays?
Thank you
Edit: I can buy brand new mi8 about 300 euros, mi mix 2s 290 euros or htc u11 like new on amazon about 200 euros. Which do you prefer?
If you don't mind missing regular updates, buy u11.

I agree.
U11 has really a great camera, that can not be compared with other mobiles mentioned.
Also system is really fluid and user experience is very polished.
Last year from U11 I went for Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S: i kept it about a month then got a U12+

buy htc u11 and you will have no regrets!
just yesterday I sold an oneplus 6 to go back to the htc u11: it's a fabulous phone, nice touch & feel, fantastic camera, nice display, fantastic size, superlative videos with super 3D audio, fingerprint reader very fast to unlock it.
Even today I think the htc u11 is a fantastic phone that can compete with all the other top on the market, even in 2018-2019.
It has only one defect: the updates.
If it's not a problem for you, you can not spend your money better.
And then you also have Amazon's guarantee!
On what Amazon did you find it for 200 euros?
Forgive my English: I use Google translator.
I got HTC U11 for about 250 USD around a month back. It is a great phone. I bought it keeping it as a backup phone and using Note 8 as a main phone but it happened vice versa.
Absolutely recommend even in 2 years from now you won't regret it !

Suggest to go for U11, the main problem is hard to get new software and probably no official Pie to taste. I've got U11 and RedMi 5 Plus and my friend just got a Mi 8 Lite yesterday.
The camera is superb on U11 and Mi 8 Lite(the same camera with Mi8 without OIS and aperture down to f1.9 from f1.8) is far away from U11. I've also got a Sony Z5 Compact and the photo/video quality on Mi 8 Lite is only about the same to Z5c in reality with faster dual pixel focus, never fully believe reviews on net, some are paid. I guess the Mi 8 does better but won't come close to U11 in real life usage.
If you are looking for RedMi note 7 pro, the good is 4000mah battery with sd675 u will receive least 50% more battery life over U11 with downgraded cpu and camera.
Nokia 9 is good only for taking photo with a crazy 12.4 stops dynamic range but photo lacking of details and the video quality comes out from Nokia 9 is bad too.
EDIT: https://twitter.com/htc/status/1105203212477292547
HTC said U11 Pie is still working on so I think we will receive latest security patches later.
U11 all the way. Its way underappreciated phone. Excellent screen, speakers. Superb camera with/without gcam port. Good battery life. Has custom ROM development as well with unlockable bootloader. Its the last issue-free phone from HTC.

Hi,
I bought one last week, loving it so far. I came from a Samsung S7 and there are almost identical apart from nice large screen on U11 and better front camera.
It has a nice UI, ROMS on here are good. Battery life good.
I got one on EBay for 185 Euros in perfect condition.

I would recommend it, if you can purchase it at a decent price, and if you are comfortable installing LineageOS. The combination of the U11 hardware, the LineageOS software, and the Google Camera app make this phone still, to this day, one of the smoothest phones that can take great pictures.
I have owned it for 2 years and plan on holding onto it for another year, or until there is significant improvement in the Google Pixel line.
In my case the camera especially when you use stock camera app. isn't good. Too much noise, but if you use Google camera mod it changes everything. Battery backup is decent, even when my device is 2 years old now.

Is it worth upgrade from Mi A2?

Hello, i'm currently on Mi A2 and i was really look forward upgrade to Redmi Note 7 Pro, but since there is no Global version for Pro my question is pretty simple.
Is it worth upgrade from mine Mi A2 to Redmi Note 7 or keep it for now and wait for another possible device?
Anyone who can tell actually difference? Because on paper devices look almost identical expect camera and if its really worth only because of camera. I mean Mi A2 with gcam have really good results.
Thanks for any advice!
I suggest you to wait for another better device, RN7 isn't that much difference as I hold the device in my hands now, the camera doesn't act like a real 48MP camera, so.. if you are confused you can watch the phone's reviews on YouTube and then make your final decision
