no dual apps?
what do you mean by no dual apps? as in can't use apps side by side?
how is it different from dual space?
i thought its a feature for Nougat to have dual apps?

i see.. thanks for answering my question. Sorry if it's a noob question
so overall this phone is quite good right?
Thinking of getting one too

yeap. planning to go to directd and play with the phone.
thanks for the heads up

so how did you restart?
what actually happened to your phone?

How come like that bro? Is it because of the new update or because phone still buggy? :/

overall is it a good buy and worth the money?
I'm currently using Honor 6 as well. Battery started to swell up that even the back plastic is coming out from the frame. lol
I'm currently aiming for A1 too..
just reading for more reviews while waiting for Huawei Nova 2I ( 4 cameras )


Did you try inserting it fully?
last time I tried new earphone also, thought i couldn't plug in my earphones. Turns out because I didn't push the jack in fully only

Alright. Thanks for your input bruv. Might be getting this if my Honor 6 fail me soon.

No problem bro. Haha. Probably because phone is still new so the jack is a bit tight. How's the sound quality though? Most YouTube reviews said the sound is amazing and has built in amp

is it because of the band that maxis and celcom use?
from the xda review, they say that A1 is not really compatible with band 40 TDD-LTE.
so maybe maxis and celcom using the same band?

anybody here can help to confirm this problem?

so google play music is actually streaming and not playing from storage?
sorry, didn't use google play music before although i have it on my Honor 6.

ah I see. So A1 really does not have a music player installed in the phone when bought?
have to install music player to play music from storage if dont wanna upload and stream from Google Music?

True. It has its advantages. But then it requires data to stream music. Luckily I dont listen to music often from my phone.
But Malaysia is not entitled for music subscription on Google Music yet right?

has anyone tried using Spotify on A1 and use Google Assistant to open playlist?
Saw MKBHD use Google Assistant on Pixel to play his playlist from spotify.
Or is it because he linked his Spotify to Google Music?

now this is the sort of reply i was expecting.
I was asking what was cell broadcast and he replied me with an image of the notification.
Its like asking whether someone has eaten and that person reply you he's shitted.
like

yeah i know. i googled too. so I assume it was like mass sending of sms at one time.
yup my question was what is cell broadcast. but that dude replied me with an image of his cell broadcast being on?
irrelevant to my question right?
your answer though was spot on. Thanks

right.. i was thinking between these 2 phones.
1k of course performance quite important. A1 is tempting for the pure android experience.
nova 2i display is tempting too..
camera isn't a priority for me though.
which one should i get?

both phones almost have the same size and dimension.
nova2i have 6 inch screen because of the 18:9 ratio whereas A1 have normal 16:9 i guess?
so yeah.. but from the geekyranjit camera comparison video seems like A1 camera is a bit lacking.
Colour are much brighter on nova2i. However A1 have better audio recording but that focusing though. Seems like its a common problem among Xiaomi phones where in video mode the camera keep on seeking focus points

no money for flagship that's why im here nitpicking between nova2i and A1

right. Quite true. I think its time to compare these 2 phones in their specs.
If im not mistaken, A1 wifi is a/b/g/n/ac and nova2i is just 802.1 b/g/n?
correct me if im wrong.
will compare other specs and list here as well later.

Right. this is a comparison of the specs of the phones side by side


A1 l Nova2i
dimensions: both phones almost the same
display size: 5.5" LTPS l 5.9" IPS
battery: 3080 mAh l 3240 mAh
chipset: SD 625 8-core 2.0Ghz l Kirin 659 4x 1.7Ghz 4.2.36Ghz
Memory: 4 GB RAM 64 GB ROM
Camera: 1 wide angel 1 telephoto l 1x16MP and 1x2mp for bokeh only
Sensors: All the normal sensors l No gyroscope

this is just a brief summary. because other information are almost similar.

IMO, i think the A1 would perform better in terms of performance because of the pure stock Android and SD 625. I have never heard of Kirin 659, therefore do not know how well it will perform whereas SD 625 is already quite popular.
A1 LTPS display is also a type of IPS, therefore probably wouldn't differ much with Nova2i's IPS display.
A1 wifi also has all protocols but Nova2i only has b/g/n.
1 thing that I don't understand is why Nova2i does not come with a gyroscope sensor.

Currently, im quite veered towards A1 cuz of the specs.
