How much slow is still a question. I've been using both and didnt really notice the difference on performance. It is not qualcomm to be blame, since currently there is lack of competition in midrange segment. They are competing on efficiency rather than performance, thus the reason why SD625 still one of the best chip for mid-low budget phone.

If your definition of upgrade is the improvement of cpu performance, then no other way except to wait and wait again. Actually I dont see why SD600-series user should upgrade to another SD600-series to get more performance. The real upgrade is should be SD820.

Impossible lorr..Indian price already Rm998. Need to include gst some more.

For now, at least buy at Lazada can get Rm50 off using MDK10A code.

All expired on 11/9. I got 5 and end up giving 3 to my friend on the last hour lol.

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?

Sorry I don't have because of some issues.
-Gcam on Miui rom doesn't look as great as in aosp or any custom rom I tried. Looks more grainy. So I don't really use Miui rom.
- On Miui rom, when enable manual mode, Miui camera forced close when use HDR mode, thus if I compare non HDR image with HDR+, ofcoz the latter is better.

I also don't have another unit to test so comparing both are impossible as for now.

Agreed. They should do that after all the talk about flagship camera smartphone. Xiaomi should at least enable EIS on all Mi series to differentiate them with Redmi.

In the article they said high quality image, not full resolution. Even my Redmi Note 4 have this option.

Nope. Since after Redmi note 2 no more berebut2 already. Everyone can buy one with ease.

Sounds like you missed the party lol. Lazada gave away alot 29% voucher maxed at Rm99 on 9/9 sale.

Anyone getting 4G+ on this phone?

Open mi cloud through browser. I think thats the only way to get back your files.

Even 1+5 also no ois, but then they came up with update to enable EIS and the video quality is superb.

Nope MiA1 doesnt have EIS. And it uses camera sensor from Omnivision, which is known to supply camera for midrange phone at best. I think last year's Sony IMX298 sensor on OP3 and zenfone 3 are much better than this.

Nope. Currently Mi5x already have ported AOSP rom from Mi A1 but its not the same as the Mi A1 rom from official Mi website.

Mi A1 to any custom rom also looks impossible for now since Mi A1 use A/B partition similar like Google Pixel.

1- Physically same, but they both have different codename (Tiffany vs Tissot). Thus, you cant directly interchange Mi5x rom with Mi A1 or vice versa.

2- 5v 2A actually is the speed of QuickCharge 1.0.

Nope, i read it doesn't work on ZTE Axon 7 since ZTE give no support for camera2.api, but i think most brand have no problem with that, including Xiaomi. Even my Redmi Note 4 can enable EIS.

Someone ported Mi A1 rom to Mi5x:
http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthrea...ghlight=mi%2B5x

However Miui rom for Mi A1 still doesnt exist at the moment.

Theoretically yes. Some LG G6 and OP5 users also using this. However, Mi A1 uses Omnivision camera sensor while most other flagship uses Sony sensor. I would say 50-50 it will work since the app does not work properly on Redmi note 4 with Omnivision sensor. Need some white rat to test it later lol.

It only takes 2-3 seconds to switch apps. And it is unlikely people use the optical zoom feature everyday.

Nope, OmniVision OV12A10 + OmniVision OV13880, unless someone can confirmed the unit sold here are using different lenses.

Mi5x doesnt have global rom.

My previous experience with power button on redmi phones:
Redmi note 2: dead after 8 months.
Redmi note 3: a bit unresponsive after exactly 1 year.
Redmi note 4: 3 month already feels unresponsive. Need to press hard which is very inconvenient at times. Luckily this one got DT2W.

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