Everything is not hard with money.
Every increment in aperture size will cost more.
Other similar price phones that have bigger aperture would sacrifice other things(SoC, built quality, USB type, etc.) to make it stay competitive.
If they had not, they would slapped a premium price for it. Flagship for example.

I'm wondering, does Android One have similar features like MIUI's Second Space, Quickball, Dual Apps?

Why not hoping for lower??

Btw I'm not sure on this one. I'm used to MIUI. Quickball, Dual app, Second space, private data/media.
Probably can have these features by installing third party apps but built in nicer.
Another thing is Mi ecosystem. Auto backup/restore apps when you changing to another MIUI phone is pretty convenient.

The only thing nice is the dual camera but the cameras do not have any image stabilization(OIS, EIS) despite the phone marketed as camera centric phone/flagship camera phone.

Thought?

My Redmi Note 4 is capable of EIS and manual mode by enabling camera2.api (need to edit build.prop hence, rooted). Using modded Google Camera it can take better image and videos compared to stock Miui camera. MiA1 should be the same I guess?

Hoping for Xiaomi will release update to enable EIS on A1. Manual mode too if there isn't. Flagship camera phone is too much for the phone now. Think I avoid/hold A1 for the moment

for those that asking gps issue. my 1A don hv this problem, lock immediately. slightly fasster a bit compare with my redmi note 4. both actually also work well in gps.

1 night using experience :
gps ok
battery not as strong as rn4, due to small battery ?  battery 1 midnight drop 10% in my case with data and wifi on and connected to wifi. that time was insert with dual sim card.

this morning take out 1 sim card and will see the battery result from that, battery charge back to 100% at 630am. see how it last tonight.

camara ok , slightly better then rn4. for this price range. i consider it as 1 of the value buy already. good job xiaomi.

an pure android with sd card support , i always dream with, as previously my nexus phone no sd card de.

sound  / speaker i rate same as rn4

speed, well, of cos is fast. ram usage average 2.4g out of 3.5g, total 46 apps installed.

what i missed :
no dual apps , cant hv 2 whatsapp.
panel icon cant customize. with to have a short cut key to on off the sound .

what i gain :  split screen. but unlikely will use as ince split, both screen is so small for a 5.5".

previously use rn4 avarage make 1 hours plus of phone call everyday. lets see how this phone last today. now already makes 30+ min call.

The downside sad.gif
