Mi A1 thoughts

Hi guys.
I currently use a Iphone 8 and I was always using Android and iOS flagship devices.
Currently I am thinking about switching to mid-range phone and I am very interested in buying Mi A1.
I just want to know what is your experience is with the A1.
Does it lag, stutter and should I buy it?
Thanks.

I used too flagships (Samsung) , my only regret is : the quality of the camera (no stabilization, poor quality in low light ). But with MiA1 : Good battery life, no lags or shutters, I confirm. If you don’t care about photos , go !

I haven't faced any lag issues or stutters
For 200$, this phone is excellent

It has been a month since I got this phone and I am completly happy. Im medium user who doesnt play games but chat a lot and use bluetooth a lot and Im really impressed. I got in average 6,5-7 screen on time (SoT). Performance is awesome, I tried PUBG and you can play it on 60 fps without problem (with some tweaks in dev options) Camera is crazy, especially the portait mode, pictures look realistic and they have vibrant colors. But you musnt have shaky hands. If you dont have them, pictures are sharp as hell. The 4K video is the same, sharp, vibrant, awesome. Everything good. This phone is just great.

The only lag or stutter I experience in this phone is during browsing In Chrome when you try to load another website or to cycle between tabs,but it is very rare. If I compare xiaomi mi a1 to my other phone Samsung S7 I mostly prefer the mia1 because of the sound and software.

Multitasking/RAM

You're busy and don't have time to wait, which is why you need to stop reading this thread and get back to organizing your Pogs. Rate this thread to express how the Honor 8X performs when multitasking. A higher rating indicates that the Honor 8X keeps many apps in memory so that they don't need to reload, and that when moving between apps, transitions are smooth and performance is excellent.

can easily switch between applications. but yes, EMUI kills app in background like FB, twitter though not a big deal for me

I agree that EMUI is a bit weak but you know what really sucks its the REDMI NOTE 6 PRO

No. Honor 8X is good choice. Don't mind those social media applications are closing. Not a big deal
Sent from my Honor 8X using XDA Labs

Honor 8x is great at holding many apps in background (10 apps and more with 2 games...it may hold more because 2,5 GB were still available) but you have to disable one setting called App launch under the Battery settings.

I don't really dislike Redmi note 6 pro but I have handled that device and I feel Honor 8x is better. Purely for software point of view, EMUI felt more natural and matured than MIUI. On 8.2, I haven't came across any issue that I felt like reporting whereas in MIUI there are such issues that you won't even know how to explain it properly and it goes months within any fix.

Redmi Note 6Pro is not that bad.

If you see Redmi Note 6Pro has Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 Chipset and Honor 8X has HiSilicon Kirin 710 Chipset, where Honor 8X has Mali-G51 MP4 Graphics and Redmi Note 6 Pro has Adreno 509. Rest all are mostly the same or similar.

As I have used miui extensively I can tell that EMUI is a more differentiating factor for me.

Here it goes

Overall speed

Would you say that the Redmi Note 8 Pro is "fast" in day-to-day use? A higher rating indicates that you think the Redmi Note 8 Pro exhibits fantastic performance. Like, is it as fast as your tears when you watch The Titanic?

When I compare my previous RN7 and this new RN8 pro, the speed is absolutely better on 8 pro.
You can notice the difference and its big.. phone is super fast.. battery is amazing..I get about 11SOT,and camera..
I am looking for some tutorials , because camera is unbelievable..
And have so many options..

Compared to my Mi MIX 2s there is no difference in speed / performance. Though I'm not a gamer.

Super fast

Super speedy
Very happy with speed. Noticeably quicker than note 7 and plays games with ease. Also haven't experienced any over heating.

Is the Redmi Note 8 Pro really good? Because I am planing to buy for my brother.

I've been testing just moved from a huawei y9 2019, it has way better memory management, and it is faster overall, just a couple of micro lags when intensive multitasking.

Better version or RN7 , much better..
When I change RN7 and buy RN8 pro I was amazed with speed, with smooth.. camera..
Mediatek chip is much better than Snapdragon 660..

Word around the campfire is there coming out with a SD 730.

After a lot of time thinking i decided to buy this and now there might be a 730G version, i must wait now..

I'll bet it won't be as good. I run mine this morning on antutu benchmark 3d and I was in with 845 SD what they was doing. The SD 730 was very low on the benchmarks. Ill keep this there working on development and things are going to happen. Mediatek is releasing source codes so things are going to take off.

https://www.gizchina.com/2019/11/16/redmi-note-8-pro-with-snapdragon-730g-is-just-a-rumour/

I keep reading about people having this phone stutter. I don't know what they're doing, but I have about 9 gigs taken by my Apps and it still manages to do everything blazingly fast.
The installation speed is also amazing, at least 2-3 times faster than my friend's galaxy S8 plus (which ,arguably, has same performance) and the latter has started to stutter.

Redmi Note 8 Pro is fast.
There is a brand called Honor, which is a sub-brand of Huawei. At present, Honor has a higher market share in mainland China than Redmi. For young people, Honor has developed and configured Huawei's high-end Mate series and P series functions, which are cost-effective. Currently there is only Redmi by XDA, so I think I need to share this good thing.

The phone is absolutely unbelievable, G90T beats Midrange Snapdragon in terms of gaming, with Custom ROMs, it feels as fast as a older flagship device, amazing work Xiaomi!

Redmi note 8 pro is beast but never paired it with MIUI

USD 445 "ru.aliexpress.com/item/4000312079469.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.f09933edirzTlP"

I have ordered one (6+128) in China @rmb 2,799 (US$400). The Pro version (8+256) is RMB 3,499 (US$500). The price is not very competitive comparing with other phones with S855 CPU in China. But my main concern is the camera instead of the CPU as I can live with a less powerful one. I will try it when I receive it.

I own cheaper and worse Mi 9T and I am quite happy, especially with gcam mod. Considering reviews, you should be more than happy

I have received mine in the US. I paid $500 from Gear Best.

How good is the quality of the photo in google photos? The reduction from 108 mpx to 16 mpx must be a lot to know thanks

Mine arrived on Monday and I love it!
Battery life seems pretty good and I've been really impressed with the camera so far. The natural bokeh on the main sensor is fantastic!

Yes, the camera is impressive except the saving time of 108M is a bit long. I don't find big difference between Night mode and normal mode. In some night shots, I find the white lamps looks bluish. I hope Xiaomi can fix it in updates.

Excellent camera !!!

I also ordered a MI 9T PRO home on 12/11 and it is still not shipped.
How to cancel and be reimbursed before the end of the sending period ???

just found this tread, very happy with this phone, the photo quality is just superb(for a phone obviously) and the main reason for me to buy it.

for me is super smartphone from 99point i put 91
- 2 point for QHD Display
-2 point for IP68
-2 for 90HZ refresh rate
-2 for SD855+
overall is the best smartphone on market right now with this price

I Paid 474 Euro I ordered it from gearbest arrived at the expected time to Italy, no problems and it works as it was invented to work, it needs some bug fixes here and there but with time and updates it will be an even more fluid phone. I would say it worth the price for me i could obviously buy an S10+ from a second hand but i can't say nothing other than this phone is more for me, it has everything the Snapdragon 730G works smoothly with Adreno 618 every game is solid 60 fps on mid settings on high settings 30 but not a lag or anything in PUBG; COD MOBILE and other GPU/CPU intensive games. It is smooth even only using social and the internet speed with Vodafone Italy is 80Mbps so i can say this phone is staying competitive without the latest Snapdragon 855 Cpu and the latest GPU. The battery is more than enough if i play a PUBG Solo match from 100% it drops to like 93% and lasts all day long using instagram watching youtube videos or anything, the fast charging makes more interesting this phone. The display with HDR+ is something that i seen in the last Samsung Models but even compairing the Xiaomi MI Note 10 with Samsung Galaxy S10+ i would still be happy using my Xiaomi the screen doesn't in the group of the brightest ones but it's enough even when the sun is directly reflecting on it. The face and fingerprint sensors are really fast without waiting it unlocks itself suddenly.

Hi everyone by then end of the year I would like to spend on the Mi Note 10, and I have an Mi 8.
For me the quality of photo and battery counts a lot, the processor I do not care about that.
Now the price, blocks me a little because I saw that the interface of the camera is a bit slow as on my Mi 8 during a switch from one mode to another.
I would like to have a constructive opinion on this phone.
Thank you [emoji4]

I had both and I recommend mi 10.
Photo quality difference is vast in favour of mi 10. I think screen quality is better too
Processor definitely better on mi9 but can't spot any significant difference in everyday use.
Battery life is impressive.
The only negative is bulk and weight

I was surprised at the microphone.

In what way?

i went from an lg g4 to this phone , and i was surprised in a good way

I had both Mi 10 Lite and Mi 10 for one week. To my surprise I ended up selling Mi 10. I prefer Mi 10 Lite since it has a flat screen, is lighter and has better battery life compared to Mi 10. Performance in day to day tasks is slightly better on MI 10 but the difference was so small that I could only notice the difference when comparing them side by side (opening apps). The camera was much better in low light on Mi 10, however, when using the gcam mod on Mi 10 Lite the difference is less pronounced. Haptic feedback is also surprisingly good on Mi 10 Lite.
