I am currently using the rn4 4gb ram type. Actually I didn't feel slow on this phone. Mayb I not play games. I don see diff in the that I have and now use by my son .

The good about rn4 for my case is I no longer need to care battery left how many %. Sometimes I even let the phone become hotspot . I hope A1 will be the same

for those that asking gps issue. my 1A don hv this problem, lock immediately. slightly fasster a bit compare with my redmi note 4. both actually also work well in gps.

1 night using experience :
gps ok
battery not as strong as rn4, due to small battery ? battery 1 midnight drop 10% in my case with data and wifi on and connected to wifi. that time was insert with dual sim card.

this morning take out 1 sim card and will see the battery result from that, battery charge back to 100% at 630am. see how it last tonight.

camara ok , slightly better then rn4. for this price range. i consider it as 1 of the value buy already. good job xiaomi.

an pure android with sd card support , i always dream with, as previously my nexus phone no sd card de.

sound / speaker i rate same as rn4

speed, well, of cos is fast. ram usage average 2.4g out of 3.5g, total 46 apps installed.

what i missed :
no dual apps , cant hv 2 whatsapp.
panel icon cant customize. with to have a short cut key to on off the sound .

what i gain : split screen. but unlikely will use as ince split, both screen is so small for a 5.5".

previously use rn4 avarage make 1 hours plus of phone call everyday. lets see how this phone last today. now already makes 30+ min call.

I feel you bro. Good intention but need to smartly do your homework with her before decided buying a pure stock Android phone. Pure stock Android is for people who loves simplicity and fast updates and not everyone taste. For me GPS lock in must be stable and fast.  icon_idea.gif

Thank you bro for your contribution! GPS lock in inside house can or cannot? If outside roughly how many seconds to lock in? hmm.gif

Typical stock android interface. Smooth . No lag. Good choice to upgrade from nexus 5 to this . More over comes with ad card. Hope more custom rom arrive then can preloaded with more function

The reason upgrade from nexus 5 one of cos to hv up to date software. Secondly is to have a nexus phone with good battery . Manage to get 3 hours of battery with around 2 hours of call and 50 min with waze.

If want to compare with rn4 in battery life. Then rn4 same usage pattern and check battery left % at around 10pm is nr4 still hv 30% compare to A1 that left 9% in my case.

As for GPS lock at home. This morning try in kitchen. The Waze open up, after few second the map start turn and adjust the position . I consider it as manage to lock my house location already.

Forget about 11th street. Just buy from Qoo10 because it's the cheapest price you can get for the Mi A1 right now. Forget about the freebies. Buy a normal casing and tempered glass will do. Save your money!  nod.gif 
Congratz! Can you please remind us one day before the flash sale on 10/10/2017? In case I forgot and from which website? Qoo10 also?  icon_rolleyes.gif

Phone bought from Qoo10. Tempered glass and casing from CKY shop at Klang perade. CKY also got sell accessories at lelong. But since I stay nearby there so I prefer get the accessories from their shop and they help me to apply tg.
