Working can get A1 or Redmi 5 plus for 6" screen at least also bigger capacity of battery.
Mi A1 can get anywhere while the Redmi 5 plus still not available in MY.

Mi A1 or Redmi 5 Plus? Undecided

This is a very subjective question.
Ultimately it all depends on your preferences bro.

Anyone know where can get good deal for mi A1? i prefer walk in instead of online.
I know Lazada now the cheapest - RM869.. As long as walk in deal can match or near the price ( high abit but with freebies) i will get it

Guys i am a phone noob la. I really need to know this kind of cheap phone can last how long till it become laggy? What the manufacturer have in mind when they build this kind of phone?

Bcs if this phone is just meant to be use for 1 year then throw, i think it will be cheaper in the long run to buy a phone like s8 right? How long do you guys think this phone can last for?

You're wrong here.
Cheap phone didn't give in bad image.
Nowadays cheap phone already come with 4gb ram, never laggy like expensive phone such as Samsung.

Main purpose is the software design.
I get to used my iPhone after 1.5 years battery Kong , iOS feel laggy.. time to change phone , it's keep you non stop to improve yourself.

actually u will never know how long can a phone lasts.. LOL in term of hardware or software aspect.. if a moderate hardware maybe can lasts u about 1.5~2y without laggy.. a flagship maybe can lasts u 3~5 years..

but sometime u have hardware failure in 2/3 years time.. always recommend to buy & enjoy now..

so far this is android one phone which xiaomi & google collaborate and work together.. google will support software update as per promised. software part - cleared.. hardware part - snapdragon 625, one of popular mid range chipset.. probably may refer more article and choose the best suit smartphone for yourself.. probably u may list down your priority features for your usage

there are some features in flagship but seldom people will use it like NFC, DSEX, LDAC, NFC Payment type, note 8 pen, MHL, and etc.. look for what u want and get it..

some of colleagues buy for Apple / top flagship smartphone, but in the end use for social media apps, after 2 years, cannot ady.. change again..

To be honest my old mi note LTE, can feel laggy due to 3gb ram only, but processor is Snapdragon 801.
Even worst than Snapdragon 625 series.
So far just let go and instead of mi A1 so far so good..

Hardware cannot guaranties and even now you own a flagship.

Yup just buy now and enjoy now.. biggrin.gif

Nahh... 4 years phone with original battery still can last 8 hours for heavy usage.

Can share how to take care the phone like yours in pristine condition? Mine (Mi A1) already 2 times dropped & cracked all tempered glass. This is my 3rd tempered glass.
