the most drawback is it a 2016 model phone. Not sure but thinking that P2 might get Oreo update too, but as for Mi A1, guarantee update to at least Android P. Overall I'm still satisfied with the Mi A1 screen despite it's not an AMOLED screen.
This is probably the factor that will decide if I'm getting A1 or P2. I'm currently using the OPO since launch. Thanks to the people at xda, I'm updated to Nougat. The P2 has been out since 2016 but there isn't much of custom ROMs and they're not fully functional.

In summary, if you are a heavy user P2 will be more suitable but if you don't mind charging your phone once a day rather than once in two days, A1 will be more easy to handle and lighter.
I'm charging my OPO twice a day, I guess once a day is okay and I'm not gonna play games on it, so hopefully can last longer.

I'm ex user of P2, "advantage with stock android " errr this one it depends for some user ... Some complain because lack of built in apps (like no long screenshot, call recording) although u can install a 3rd party apps but some feels hassle. U need get use to it fir sometime
Those 5k, amoled, dual speaker really a killer spec. I miss it so much (if it wasn't stolen i will stick with p2 for a long time)
For camera dept mi a1.. i dont have much to say.. since i got my mirrorless... For my use, phone camera it's just for quick snapshots.
But in general xiaomi mi A1 i would say its a good phone.
So many praises for the AMOLED screen. Tempted lol but I guess newer phone is better and I prefer something like LineageOS but stock Android is also nice since the missing features I can just add with Magisk and Xposed. Camera doesn't really matter since I also got a mirrorless for that.
Thank you everyone for the input. Guess I'm getting the A1 soon.
