Xiaomi Mi A1 vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 4x - Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers

Hello guys. My Google Pixel died and Google is refusing to repair it (long story), so I need another phone, but I don't want to spend another 600 dollars.
I have many options: Huawei Honor 6X ($200 5.5 3GB RAM 32GB), Moto G5 Plus ($230 5.2 4GB RAM 64GB), Xiamomi Redmi Note 4x ($213 5.5 4GB RAM 64GB), or Xiaomi Mi A1 ($240 5.5 4GB RAM 64GB).
I understand this forum should be biased towards the Xiomis, but I was wondering if any of you would give an honest opinion on why one or the other, or maybe another phone for no more than 250?
I don't play games, I am mostly using for calling, whatsapp, facebook, and the casual photo. Good quality of pictures are very nice to have, as it is a battery that last a day. I am also not that interesting on ROMs as long as the standard one is updated with security fixes.
Any comments? Thank you!

You mentioned updates, choose the Mi A1. It has a pretty decent camera but the pictures are subpar if you compare this with the original Pixel.

[RUMORS] MI MIX 2+ at the end of March?

Hi Guys, are You speaking about "Mi Mix 2 is the new Mi Mix"?
WRONG!
Mi Mix 2 is just a new version of Xiaomi Borderless smartphone.
At the end of march/first days of april, Xiaomi will have an event to show a new device:
XIAOMI MI MIX 2+ (Mi Mix 2 Plus)
same design of the Mi Mix2 but with 6,4" Oled display.
Other technical features:
94,3% display area
Qualcomm 945 (not confirmed)
8Gb ram
256Gb memory
MicroSD + Wireless Charge (we all hope....)
Miui 9 with Android Oreo
same NOT good camera like Mi Mix/Mi Mix 2 (but with 4k 60fps Video) :crying:
*Source internal worker, confirmed from gearbest friends
What do you think about Mi Mix 2 Plus?
1) Source?
2) March/April is 7 months away (long time) and its near the launch of the Mi 7 so I think its not worth the wait.

2) i Know, 7 months are so much... but is completely different device 6" and 6,4" so if your necessity is just a normal display device is good Mi Mix 2, if like me you need bigger display, will be better to wait
So long time to be disappointed(again). Lovely job Xiaomi.
if what you say is true, than I hope so, because the one they release is a disappointment, it's hardly an updated version .

I'm impressed that they knew another device was being made. Whoever said the camera was crap in the Mi Mix 2S must have been trolling though lol

MI 6 vs MI A1

Hello guys,
I need your honest opinion.
I need to get a new device. I only use blackberry old phone at this moment.
I am thinking of mi 6 or mi A1? Which one do you think is better?
I am thinking a1 for the price and stock android (what I love with oneplus before) but I like also to have snapdragon 835 and EIS for camera.
EIS also affect the quality of normal photos or videos only? I have shaky hands by the way.
Please advice.
Pricing:
mi a1 = 749 aed
mi 6= 1399 aed
Thanks guys
isn't one plus 5 vs mi 6 a better comparison.
i agree however oneplus 5 is out because of my budget
The A1 is easy to unlock bootloader and root. After that you can enable EIS in the build prop and install ported Google cam with HDR+. It's excellent.
The SD625 actually performs quite well on the A1. It may not be as fast as an 835, but it's always smooth and probably more battery friendly.
MI6 has NFC I think, which the A1 doesn't so that could be something to consider.
For the price, stock android AND a great camera, you just can't go wrong with the A1 imo.

Honor 7X vs Xiaomi Mi A1 from Battery, Design, Camera and more?

Honor introduced a new budget competitor in the Indian smartphone market with the recent launch of the Honor 7X. Unveiled at an event in London in December, the Honor 7X carries everything that makes it stand apart from the rest of the budget line-up prevalent in the Indian market. A bezel-less display, dual camera setup and Honor’s own processor coupled with its own user interface comes as quite a bold offering by the Chinese smartphone manufacturer at its price point of Rs 12,999.
Speaking of Chinese OEMs, another player in the market has been dominating the budget segment for quite a while now. While Xiaomi started out with its Redmi Note series, with the Redmi Note 4 being the most sold smartphone in the country this year, the company also experimented with its line-up by launching an Android One smartphone in 2017. Xiaomi Mi A1, another budget offering by Xiaomi, came as a refreshing change from its existing line-up which mostly ran on Xiaomi’s own MIUI. The Mi A1 boasts of a pure Android experience, along with a dual camera setup for the photography enthusiasts. Having the same price tag at Rs 12,999, a clash with the new Honor 7X is inevitable for the Mi A1. Hence, here is a comparison between the two smartphones revealing where they come out on top and where they lack.

Design
Honor 7X has an unarguably premium feel to it with the metal casing and rounded edges. The front dons an 18:9 display with minimum bezels and looks neat. The upper bezel simply sports the in-call speaker and the selfie camera, while the bottom bezel elegantly displays the ‘Honor’ sign. The smartphone comes in an aluminium chassis and sports a fingerprint sensor at the back.
Xiaomi Mi A1, on the other hand, looks just like any other Android smartphone. It carries a minimalistic design with prominent bezels on both the top and the bottom. The Mi A1 comes in a full metal design and also sports a fingerprint sensor at the back.
Display
The Honor 7X sports a 5.93-inch near bezel-less, Full HD+ display with a 2160 x 1080 pixel resolution and a Corning Gorilla Glass protection on top. The near bezel-less display comes with an 18:9 aspect ratio display. During our use, we found the display of the Honor 7X to be an absolute treat at its price point, with ample colours, optimum brightness and a crisp viewing experience.
In comparison, the Xiaomi Mi A1 carries a 5.5-inch display with a 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution and is protected by a Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The Mi A1 display comes with a 16:9 aspect ratio, like the one on most of the budget smartphones in the market. We found the display to be decent in our use, with the ability to cater to users looking for a regular budget smartphone experience.

Firepower
Just like any other Honor smartphone, Honor 7X is powered by the company’s own HiSilicon Kirin processor. The one backing the 7X is an octa-core Kirin 659 SoC, which is further coupled with a 4GB RAM and a 32GB internal storage, which can be further expanded up to 256GB using an external microSD. The smartphone runs Honor’s in-house EMUI 5.1 on top of Android 7.1.1 Nougat. Currently, there is no confirmation on the Android Oreo update for the Honor 7X.
Xiaomi’s Mi A1 is powered by Qualcomm’s tried and tested Snapdragon 625 SoC with eight cores. In addition to this, the smartphone carries a 4GB RAM and a 64GB internal storage, further expandable up to 128GB using an external microSD. As a change from Xiaomi’s regular smartphone line-up, the Mi A1 skips the MIUI interface and instead runs Android 7.1 Nougat, being Xiaomi’s first Android One device in collaboration with Google. Xiaomi is currently looking for Beta testers for the Android Oreo update for this smartphone. There is no official confirmation for the release of the update as of now.
Camera
Honor has been known for the camera capabilities of its smartphones, ranging from the Honor 8 Pro, right down to the Honor 6X, which set the trend for affordable dual camera smartphones. Honor 7X now builds on that reputation and carries a dual camera setup with a 16-megapixel primary lens along with a 2-megapixel secondary lens for adding depth effect to the images. Overall, the camera is able to deliver very good picture quality. At the front, the Honor 7X houses an 8-megapixel selfie shooter, able to work at 1080p resolution and also deliver Bokeh effect to the selfies.
Xiaomi Mi A1 also sports a dual camera setup, with a 12-megapixel primary and a 12-megapixel secondary lens which together offer depth effect in the images and boast of a 2x optical zoom. At the front, the Mi A1 sports a 5-megapixel selfie camera with similar 1080p resolution capability.
Battery
Honor 7X is backed by a 3340 mAh battery, edging just over the 3080 mAh battery sported by the Xiaomi Mi A1. As the figures indicate, the Honor smartphone is able to last for a couple of hours more than the Mi A1 in practical use as well, despite the Honor 7X display consuming more battery for its daily run.
Verdict
There is no doubt that both the smartphones offer ample features at a budget price of Rs 12,999. While Xiaomi Mi A1 offers pure Android experience to its users, the Honor 7X delivers Honor’s own added features through the interactive EMUI. The cameras and the performance backup of both the smartphones are more or less similar, with their own minuscule pros and cons over each other. The Honor 7X, however, rises on top in terms of the display quality and the battery backup that the smartphone offers. Finally, the Honor device takes it away when it comes to the overall visual appeal of the smartphone, thanks to its near bezel-less display.

If you like this please hit your thanks.
I am an old 7x user. Sold it and bought A1. 7x is good. Good design and good battery backup. A lagfree OS. Never faced any lags or stutter in 7x. EMUI is well optimized OS.. No doubt in that...
My reasons for selling 7x is
Terrible charging time. 3 hours for full charge
Poor Potrait camera
Normal Rear camera
Developments
Stretched videos in YouTube
Some games really sucks....
Headphones output is average.
7x can't stand in front of A1 with charging+ camera+ development..
7x selfie camera is superb. Better than A1. Also the battery backup is fantastic in 7x.

This is how posts should be instead of rooting in fanboyism..
TBH I would've waited and bought the Honor 7x, but the 64 GB version is costlier. I want both of my SIMs AND my 30GB music
Ended up buying Mi A1. The phone is decent mid-ranger, but -
> Camera sucks in low light.
> Headphone hissing still not fixed.
> Fastcharging should've been included.
> Though build quality is premium, I wished it didn't have the camera bump. I'd have preferred it to be a bit thicker which a slightly bigger battery.
> Light sensor is janky AF. Auto brightness is thrash.
But good things... well you hear it all the time. Enough performance, fast FP reader, good display (though not crisp enough). Funnyly, I've never gotten 5+ hours SoT, while other people claim to get around 6-8 hrs SoT.

1. Yeap. Camera sucks in low light...The only fix is Google Camera HDR+. But unfortunately u need root. Good thing is now u can take Potrait shot with flashlight using Google Camera HDR+
2. Honestly i don't have that issue. Running Oreo and using Sony MDR in ear phone. Never experienced that hissing issue.
3. Yeap. Fast charge is good if they included but its charging really fast. For me its took 1 hour 44 minutes to charge with Samsung adaptive fast charger.. Even my old S7 Edge ( sold due to family issues) took almost 1 hour 33 minutes to charges from 1 to 100 ...
4. Auto brightness is slightly improved in Oreo IMO
5. Me always getting around 5 to 5.30... Never touched around 6. But thats pretty decent for my usage......
I have to admit the rear camera is very good on my A1 but I am not much of a camera guy and want a phone to be extremely snappy with a big display, My problem with the mi A1 was that while using the device you can feel there is something lacking in the software even after 3 update cycles and that really bugged me and with the 7x I get a gigantic display, excellent
Since all Honor phones are getting Project Treble with their Oreo update, the Honor 7X might also get that. That would put it ahead of Mi A1 Stock android as it would get updates just as fast and maybe even beyond Android P, while the Mi A1 only will update till P.

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.

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.
