Just got the phone from Qoo10 today. I moved from IP6s to this phone as I do not wish to carry 2 phones (company provided 1 sim).

I noticed a few things about this pure kosong stock android Mi A1:

1. No notification badges (Counter of how many items you haven't read)
- Pro: no more ugly unread email counts on your gmail app
- Con: you might miss it unless you find them from the pull down notification

2. Missing blue light filter a.k.a Night mode
- Con: not good to your eyes and affect your sleeping
- Google force manufacturer to decide whether to include this mode or not in 7.1.2 onwards
- Maybe XiaoMi accidentally or purposely leave it out

3. Customization of pull down short cuts are limited... no switch for mobile data
- use 3rd party widget

Overall, I give positive feedback on this phone.

1 more thing to bear in mind this phone will have at least 1 android version upgrade and security updates 18 months after it launched into market.

Yeah, am using a Nillkin case so the grip is much better for me now.

I imported directly from a VCF file backup instead. As the manual link needs to be done on each individual contact, I'll see if it gets fixed or slowly link as and when needed. Don't feel like clicking a couple of hundred times for the entire address book

I use the notification slider shortcut and tap on the DND icon, it'll let you choose Silent or Priority from there. There's also an Automatic Rules section under DND where apparently you can set a schedule for it, needs testing.

Not an urgent issue for now...just would be nice to have for my use scenario.

I think Mi A1 no supports camera2 api, since there are no google phone have dual-cam setup yet.

Yes, mentioned in multiple reviews. That's why the software updates come from Xiaomi, not Google ... Like how it is for Pixel and Nexus.

Just hope Xiaomi will really upgrade the OS until Android P.

Gstore = Satu Gadget
Bought my HTC 10 from them on Lazada

Read the article. It was confirmed working on LG G6 and V20, both with dual camera.

Hi all,

Thank you~

hehehe, sorry not sure what means api2. But really thanks for Info.
LG G6 and V70? but donno Mi A1

gstore is not satu gadget. its mobile2go, a shop located at maluri and ss2. they are official reseller during the launch of mi A1. dont know why people keep spreading wrong info.

Mi A1 doesn't have Camera2 api does it? I've checked with Manual Camera compatibility app and it says this phone has no support for Camera2

My Redmi Note 4 doesn't support camera2api by default. But it can be enabled by editing build.prop (need root 1st). Now mine already have EIS for video recording and i can use that Google Camera app.

Any good tempered glass recommend? The white curve is annoying

Is it? Wow...! Ok thank you very much for the tip!

Root? How to root? , teach us teach us.
Any Pro or cons if phone root?
and what is EIS?

Thanks

I believe he rooted his Redmi Note 4, not Mi A1. The method is different for different device.

EIS=Electronic Image Stabilisation. Employed when a device doesn't have the hardware capability of OIS (Optical Image Stabilisation).

Hi all,

Did this phone support dual apps eg: dual whatapps?
