Love Miui pls get one Xiaomi phone then experience it.
You will wish to get Moto UI and its apps when you are in a Xiaomi's device - old story.

Their devices you got poor performance, so how can expect to get good things on a porting rom?

Actually I have no issue with their hardware at all. mi3 had snapdragon 800 before three years. Tip end spec. Miui software is degrading

I owned redmi note, redmi 1s and redmi 2. Mi3 was best among them. Unfortunately, xiaomi is not doing well on software front. I guess most xiaomi users feel the same way, who have used their devices for two to three years now.

The Mi 6S/7

So I was abit surprised there has been no announcement for their next follow up. Im guessing they're not taking the OnePlus route I.e. same specs different design.
I had a hunch they are waiting for the snapdragon 845 and turns out I was right. http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/12/05/news-snapdragon-845-exists/
So who will be getting their next flagship. I most likely will because of specs and price ratio. Hopefully they have a much better camera. I found the Mi 5S to have a better camera thab the Mi 6. The olmain downside is waiting a few months (6) for kernel sources.
If they release with Oreo then project Treble unless they do a sly move like OnePlus and release with Nougat to avoid Treble.

Kernel sources will be released at release time from now on.

Wait, what? Do you mean when the phone is available to buy, kernel sources will be published also?

Source?, xiaomi has been very bad on kernel source releases.

Yes, I've talked with Ivan and he said that they intend to release sources at time of device release from now on to improve their global market.

Any thoughts guys?

I'll wait and see if it's any good first or wait for mix 3

Too early. Still a lot of speculation.
There aren't a lot of news about SD845 as of today. And looking back how I anticipate Mi 6 release, there were lots of misinformation floating around from one site to another. And in the end, Mi6 is almost different from the rumor I read.

As long as they release a Ceramic Mi7, I'm all in.

Those of you who voted no, whats your reason(s)?

Display size

I will only buy when they release kernel source max 2 months after phone released and it will be cheaper ca 100 USD than otp 6.
If not , I will buy otp 6. I can't imagine, based on mi6 story , to wait 9 months for lineageos and I can't imagine to use crappy MIUI soft.

Well, it depending on how big development on mi 7. If there is a lot dev who bought it, and I'm in.

Still no news :/

So what do you lot think about the Mi 8 and Mi 8 SE?

For me only mi 8 explorer edition is option and only after kernel released
Two others, for that price I would rather buy op6

Apparently it doesn't have a translucent back, its a sticker so I'll probably go for the standard model and the SE depending on how much the resellers are charging.

When Xiaomi going to release kernel source for our device and when are we going to ..

No Kernel source and so no custom roms
very disappointing ,They said they are going to release some quality source but Its been full 3 months now.
Jan is at its end which makes this almost 4 months

xiaomi released kernel source for mi max 2 after six months, so I guess they will release kernel source for our device after that same amount of time

Guys,Check this out but I don'no if its true?!

He is just a mod in forum, I don't think he has anything to do with development. I have read his all reply stating not an employee of xiaomi

Well, Seppe looks like a normal mod, he occasionally posts on mi community and his Twitter looks normal, he said he got "internal sources" (maybe friends?)... Why would he lie? He had nothing to gain... This is interesting

Sources to be Released
Kernel Source released atlast......
Let the devs work their magic on....

Redmi Note 5 Pro vs Mi A1 (Or wait for Mi A2?)

Both have the same price for 4Gb 64 Gb Variant:
From what I gather:
Camera : Note 5 better
Battery: Note 5 better
Processor: Note 5 Better
Software: Mi A1
Build Qualty: Mi A1 + Supports USB C
The biggest factor is the SD636 is a LOT faster than SD625. It is 40% faster than SD630 which itself is faster than the SD625.
I hate the MIUI so it is a automatic win for Mi A1 in software department, but I can live with it if it performs well. The first thing I do in a MIUI device is change the launcher!
Like last year if there is a Mi A2, it will probably have same specs as the note 5 pro.
So which is better? Mi A1 or note 5 pro or wait for Mi A2?

Don't wait
Bro don't wait for a2 xiaomi mi a1 is not series a1 means android one a2 doesn't come :laugh::laugh:

Mi A1 wont have a successor?

Mi A1 is not guaranteed to have a follow up. The A1 Generation 2 phone is just a rumour unfortunately, other manufacturers haven't made a follow up to their Android One phones either

Mi A1 *Will* have a sucessor. When we say "Mi A2", we are talking about it. Some people just cant understand.

People saying A2 are talking about the Mi 6x and are just assuming the 2nd gen A1 will be based off the 6x with no particular logic or reason besides a few fake images..
A2 is a dumb nonsense name

The initiative is called Android One is it not? Xiaomi called it A1 because of that. To call it "A2" for the sake of succession in numbers makes it meaningless with no more connection to the Android One program. There is no such thing as "Android Two" is there?
I will be surprised if A2 is the official name for the A1 Gen 2 if it ever exists

There is no rule that an android one device has to be named "A1". And Xiaomi has a history of adding a number to successive generations, so it will most likely be called Mi A2.

who cares about the name. A2 is there just to call the successor of the A1.
i would like to have the same A1 design with the 18:9 ratio, other than that, Note 5 pro Hardware is enough.

Guys I really think Mi A2 will ever see the light of the day. Xiaomi hates Stock android.
They thought people would actually compare MIUI with Stock Android and go with MIUI.
They really boast on MIUI & thinks it is better than Stock Android. (It may be for some people ) but for me it isn't.
They want to give MIUI a push not Android One program. On the other hand if u want a stock experience you can always flash a custom rom and enjoy the fluidity of Stock & Switch back to MIUI whenever you want..
So I personally don't know A2 is coming anytime soon (or ever. )
As Far as the choice is concerned I would tell the OP to go with Redmi Note 5 Pro.
Just go with it and If u get tired there will be tons of roms like RR, LOS & Pixel Experience to save your day.

Nokia 6.1 got pie, no update for A2 a more premiere phone

We know we will get it by year max as per expectations, but no beta yet... So does anyone has any update on this

What can we do except waiting! -_-

Company is focusing on pocco f1, mi 8se, both received beta..... This one is android one phone and not even beta by now..... I bought this device for early updates and one program only.

How come the Mi A2 is a failure if it's one of the best selling Xiaomi phones on Aliexpress and other markets?
If you don't like it, sell it and buy a new phone, it is that simple, no need to be a martyr.
If you want custom roms, how about you develop it yourself instead of complaning that no one took their free time and knolowedge to make you free roms? I can only speak for myself, as I have no desire in developing for such an arrogant and whiny user base as of the Mi A2's. Or I can develop a Pie AOSP rom and charge for it, how about that?

Android One responsibility are complicated..
So far away for pie
Just talk about some bug on current 8.1 rom (like slow emmc read/write speed, unresponsive proximity sensor n etc) and some miss faeture and support like arcore, camera2api, tap2wake...
Im sure they work on it but not fast like miui
To be honest mi a2 are overshadowed by redmi note 5/pro, and poco f1, so this phone not much attracted/interesting for some community developer...

That was one of the more refreshing posts I've seen in awhile. Thanks for posting it.
Having some from the HTC 10 forums, where the users are pretty respectful, some of the Mi A2 users here do seem particularity whiny and demanding of attention.

It's really the worst XDA experience for me so far. Threads with the same topics all over and constant demanding and whining instead of being happy about a cheap good phone

its a big mistake to buy this mi a2 with this very little battery, horrible suport, a lot of bugs, a new 1401 clock bug, no pie, no twrp, no suport, this is the worst phone i ever buyed, now i will sell this, i cant handle this feilure phone

I'd rather have a smooth and bug free phone than a rushed update. I mean, both the A2 and A2 Lite are full of bugs. Nokia is working with only Android One phones, while Xiaomi have so many to work on. They are slow anyway.

Guys, my topic says its a premium phone and don't have any problem with it. Getting superb screen on time, pics, android one, fast charging and dont need much.
But just curious about pie update as even nokia 6.1 got it... Don't be upset with it. If anyone knows can tell otherwise its ok

pie got new gesture based navbar and legacy navbar tho (same with recent apps. pie got both new vertical and legacy horizontal one)

Pie update is in testing, Xiaomi sells far more A2 than all Nokia combined, so the extra care, whatever pie update should come in few days with November update.
Sent from my Xiaomi Mi A2 using XDA Labs

The main reason why I bought the phone was Android One. I expected to receive updates as early as possible just like the damn website on Android One is saying.
Until now, Xiaomi is a big f*cking disappointment because of bugs, CPU frequency lock (I have a phone that can't be used with Fingerprint and those morons at Xiaomi don't even want to acknowledge that), slow updates, no camera2api enabled by default (I had to erase the phone!), TWRP etc.
This is by no way a premier/premium phone. The Galaxy A5 2016 I had for two years was way better because it felt and ran like wind.

No, I'm very confident, also its Xiaomi goal to announce it before Xmas sales season begins to push A2 sales yet not as good as the A1's.
Besides Android Pie goodies, another improvement is to include Bluetooth LDAC support, and maybe improvements on camera.

We received the November security patch now, so i think we will be receiving pie in December only..... Thanks for your reply
