me too... still using N5 although start lagging n battery cant last long.
luckily got XiaoMi come rescues me... if not got to buy iphone X d...
just buy saja... pure rom wont go any wrong since we are coming from Nexus series.
Also at the price of RM1099 (some even get it at RM919) so it is really a steal...  rclxm9.gif  rclxm9.gif  icon_idea.gif

my N5 still no lag, the secret?..i dnt update my phone
i stopped updating my phone since 6.0.1, i notice since long ago..the more u update to the newest version, the more lag is becomes
and that kind of resolves my phone and tablet lag issue

im not worried abt the OS part, im afraid because its a xiaomi
im also targetting a used pixel after new pixel is announce soon, also targetting a used one plus 3 and above

How much do u think the old pixel will cost when the new pixel release?
I don think it will be at rm1k rigth cause the new 2016 pixel sell at the same price as iphone 7...
*
not 1k of course
now used around close to 2k
so when pixel release, after sometime, it should fall to around 1.5k which is still an acceptable price actually
which is also around 50% of the price of the new pixel

i'm still using N5 as well....still working well.....n.....battery also replaced new one myself....

you can't update to Nougat or Oreo officially ....so still stuck with 6.0.1 but i wish Google will provides security updates for longer period....hopefully as what they announced recently......

will wait for pixel 2 to see what kind of breakthough technology they are going to announce ....still...no excuse to change phone yet....sigh..phone still surviving!!!
*
ehh, mine can oh
i have updates pending actually, just that i refuse to proceed with the updates
because i know the more i update it, it will eventually lag

By the way, anyone know how to straight transfer my old Nexus 5 (stock rom: 6.0.1) app setting and data to new Mi A1?
saw from on9 here, https://www.androidcentral.com/how-restore-...w-android-phone
it said that need to use Google Drive but my drive din show the "Manage backup - list of apps" icon...
*
setting im not sure
but all the apps in your own phone will be downloaded into your new phone automatically
they hold the list of apps u have(your google account)
all the contact are backed-up at your google account as well, automatically can see one login to your new phone

pls do A1 vs N5 speed comparison.....t drool.gif  drool.gif  drool.gif

how is that a fair comparison
N5 is old
A1 is light years ahead of N5
way newer processor, way more ram, way way more storage laugh.gif

i always update to the latest rom, no lag too. just depends on user maintenance of the device system la actually. if know how to tweak and tune ur phone will do. eg, go to developer option change the animation scale from 1.0x to 0.5x, force gpu rendering in 2d.
*
i dnt need to do that, just dnt update will do laugh.gif
plus my storage finished already, left 200Mb

I dont think so, if you refer to the settings in Google Photo, it just provides Free Unlimited Storage at high quality , which is not at full resolution(original).
[attachmentid=9166175][attachmentid=9166176]
*
if am not wrong is unlimited(with resolution limitation) when google mention its unlimited
16MP resolution if not wrong
which i think refers to "high quality" there

oo , yup u are correct, i also saw somewhere else say that over 16MP will only be compressed. I try out le , found that it really no different in the resolution in choosing high quality or original. If u set your camera frame 4:3 , you will always get 12MP , while 16:9 will get 9MP.

Google Photos "High quality" vs "Original": What's the difference and should you care

for me its useless since i dnt backup pic into google photos

I understand that while some ex MIUI users might not feel comfortable with this phone as it lacks many features in the REDMI series, please bear in mind this is only Android One and Xiaomi's first project with Google.

Next year there would be probably a Mi A2 and I strongly believed that more add ons will be in store but I also stressed that it should maintained as simple as possible.

I think the Mi A1 overall respond is good and also probably the cheapest for a pure stock Android smartphone.

*
there is no such thing as "more add ons" or because this is android one
THIS IS how pure android looks like, and its not gonna add anything more things into it, its how google released it
its not that it "lacks feature"...all the feature u need are all in there...just its not directly accessible from the front page
u need extra steps to trigger it from settings or added by the company itself separately and those are the stuff that makes the whole OS lag
those MIUI, they added shortcuts for the features thats you're talking abt

that blurring is your self edit or from the camera?
if from camera, that software is doing a very bad job
that blur effect is very inconsistent with no pattern

the camera autofocus should get it right
not your fault, its the camera software...if this came out of "auto" thn the software is doing a very bad job
