You guys will prefer A1 or Mi5X?

anyone found any bumper only casing? the back panel so wasted if hide inside the casing ... LOL

i'm in dilemma too between nova2i and Mi A1.
my main concern is about the battery life.

Whatsapp, fb, phone call most of the time. Not gaming fan.
Currently using RN2, the battery very bad - need to recharge after 5-6 hours.

Hi guys. Interested on the M1 A1 as replacement for my Nexus 6p. Need the double SIM for work.

What's the latest security update patch now on the A1?

Don't expect this to be bang up to date compared to Nexus ... in fact just flashed Oct security update now.

But hoping better compared to my spare Redmi Note 3 which is still stuck on July security patch.

Ok ... that's not bad. Do let us know when you receive the October update.

Was worried that there will be delays as the updates are being pushed out by Xiaomi themselves due to the camera app and other apps customised by Xiaomi.

yes, monthly security update already pushed for the 1st time since last week.

Some initial impressions so far :

1.) Size is slightly unwieldy but I'm coming from a One Plus X (5 incher)
2.) Lighter than the X and seems to run cooler. Using a Nillkin cover which adds slightly to the weight now.
3.) Having the bug where the Contacts and Whatsapp are duplicating ie. 2 records for the same person when I open up the Dialer.
4.) Screen scrolling is not looking right, sensitive to lag and I can feel it's not smooth enough. Hope future updates will improve it.
5.) A forum member was asking whether we can swap the Back and Recent keys, I'm doing that with an app, Button Mapper. No stock option to do so unfortunately. Maybe will try to root once stable and see if we can directly edit the keymap.
6.) Notification light is white colour only...seriously? How much more would it cost to get a multicoloured one? Dunno why but it feels really annoying, like a nickel and dime decision.
7.) I do miss the X's hardware slider to activate Priority and Silent mode. Useful when I'm working or walking to a meeting etc.
8.) Any way to get a tap or double tap to wake gesture?

Press either volume up/down key, when u see the volume slider just press on the bell icon, the phone will goes to silent (vibrate) mode. Of course u can only do this with the screen awake.
Pressing the bell icon again will goes back to normal ringing mode.
