USB Type-C for charging/data syncing
The Mi A1 may come with a smaller 3,080mAh battery as compared to the Redmi Note 4's humongous 4,100mAh battery but unlike the latter, the former ships with a USB Type-C for charging and data syncing: a rarity in phones in this price range. The Mi A1, in addition, also ships with a 380V charger so it can withstand India's varying voltage fluctuation needs.

Pre-order from AliExpress

seller from lazada advertised rm1099 with mi malaysia warranty

this year not a single fire work voucher but i still saw mdk10a at lazada front page

maybe can use it for 10% max rm50

but i will hold first pending camera reviews and comparisons

Nope. Mi A1 is slightly taller in height than the 5X. There are videos by geekyranjit in youtube that shows you the physical dimensions of both phone. They are only similar in terms of hardware specs. And yes, any cases made for the Mi 5X will not fit onto the A1.

Sorry, my mistake. After checking thoroughly thru multiple sources, YES, the dimensions are similar. I can't seem to be able to locate the video that i saw earlier. Maybe i was mistaken it with taller bezels, not dimensions. Arrangements of the buttons and camera bump and FP scanner not sure whether it's identical or not. If Xiaomi is recycling excess stock of 5X to the A1, everything on the outside should be similar as well.

not your mistake. i also view review from geekyranjit. he compare dimension a1 vs note 4. a1 a bit taller.

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?

Agreed.Bought one this morning.Delivery next week.
Stock Android experience.
Pure Android Nougat out of the box.
2 future updates, Android Oreo and Android P and
free unlimited cloud storage on Google Photos.
With all this, I think it a good bargain.

Bought one unit for my mom. Seems like the body got scratches out of the box. Hmm..

Online. Mi Malaysia. Tried really hard wiping it with cloth and it went away. Guess it not a scratch after all.

But damn, I hope the casing is easy to find at a physical store.
