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.

actually is the phone is running pure android.And Nougat is out for quite some time.
it's perfectly stable.nougat is rock stable.

Xiaomi MiA1 Pure Android with unlimited google photos space offers means-

Unlimited storage is available for 'high-quality upload',
which means your photos will be compressed to 2k ish pixels.
This is for all users.

Xiaomi MiA1 gives unlimited storage for original quality photos.
That is the different.

very good price.

Google is selling its own high-end phones under the Pixel brand.
Android One devices are for bargain hunters looking for stock Android
software and reliable updates.
So if MIUI is your 1st choice, there are so many models to choose from.

Received today.beautiful phone.

LOL look almost like iphone 7 plus

A quick day one summary.
Mi A1 goals is trying to attract those who were staying away
from the Xiaomi ecosystem (MIUI).
Having stock Android over MIUI is definitely something
that will makes it a very reliable smartphone.

In low light(2X optical zoom) just too much noise.
Hope can improve this with software updates.
Other than this, good camera that is capable of taking great shots.

Battery life is strong, but not the best in this price bracket.
The back is a bit slippery, better buy some kind of skin or cover
for this phone.

The metal body and overall finish are superb and that makes it look premium.
Side by side next with the iphone 7 plus, the build quality is almost as good.

The display and overall performance are good.
The fingerprint reader is located at the back, and it works very well.

Expanded(max) using a Sandisk 128GB microSD card(as external)
on the second SIM slot.Supported.No problem.(very good
decision from Xiaomi)
But you cannot install apps on SD card.

AGAIN IT IS REALLY ABOUT THE SOFTWARE.
The most important about this phone is Android Nougat without any
skinning atop it.

*This are for those using Nougat for the first time.
Mi A1 is tall at 155.4 mm in length,comes handy when
Nougat features on the device include split-screen multitasking that
allows users to work on two apps simultaneously(By holding on the "recent
apps")on the bottom left.

Mi A1 isn’t groundbreaking, just worth the money.Its a steal.
It is just being the “Pixel on a budget”.
I think Mi A1 is probably the best looking smartphone Xiaomi
has ever built in "this price segment".

setting>language and input>virtual keyboard>gboard>
preferences>disabled-vibrate on keypress

Bought a Nillkin's Tempered Glass Nillkin 2.5D,0.2mm for Mi 5X.
Hope it fits.

can please explain why Google Now works better than Google Assistance, for you?
I am using Google Assistance, and like to know the differences.

thanks for the explanation.

Do not notice any major lag on the phone even though I have a lot of apps on it.

By any chance, did you try using music manager to upload to Google Play Music?

I guess so because it I think your Music Library is empty(from the way I look at it.Sorry if I am wrong)

You can play directly from Google Play Music from your Music Library.

I see, so have not upload anything yet.Once you upload you will see something like this.

I think you have problems uploading.Maybe you can tell us what you have tried.
Then only some of us here may try to help you out.

Just to share (only for those who do not know)
Google Play Music allow you to upload 50,000 of your own songs onto
the cloud so that you can stream them from anywhere.The only requirement
that you have a google account.

yes, streaming only.Apple has something similar in iTunes match but has to pay.

Yes.That is correct.Google Music only allow uploading of your own song.As mentioned in the earlier post.
