Thanks for the info.
Thinking to jump to A1

You worry so much bro. Nothing really so serious.

U can try backup everything using Google drive.
I'm jumping from iOS.

That's why choose mi a1 since it is stock android.
Waiting for official release of Google pixelin Malaysia

Okay. Thanks for the reply

Hello guys,
I just updated my phone to Oreo. I find out that when I turn off mobile data, there will be a "x" icon at my mobile data bar there. Is that normal?

One more question can MI A1 show Bluetooth earphones battery level?

yes, its normal.

That is very normal. Off your mobile data there will be an "X" icon and on your mobile data it will show 4G or 3G. Simple than before.......

Yeah but apparently each A1 somehow face different bugs. I've read some pretty serious ones on xda forum. I think might be better that I hold back a month or so until most of them are fixed.
Some are having issues of phone restarting when use the fp sensor to unlock phone.

if you are not comfortable, no need to upgrade. wait until 8.1 release.

That's what I'll do

Hi, planning to get the Mi A1 next week. Should I get this over the Lenovo P2. The specs seems similar. Obviously the Mi A1 has advantage with stock android and probably better camera(doesn't matter to me) but 5k mAh battery and AMOLED display on the P2 is tempting.

I'm guessing since it's Android One, it's gonna get more updates than the P2. How's the screen on A1? Especially under sunlight.

Guys when you receive your phone do you need to open it in front of the courier guy?
Bcs the lazada shop I am buying from many reviews say they never bubble wrap the phone if I open the set once the courier guy is gone and if I notice screen crack would I have to pay for that repair???

The AMOLED screen and bigger battery is a huge advantage and 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.

Mine also does not have bubble wrapped and I only open the box after 2 weeks received it. No visible damage with the phone box, therefore I'm confident the phone should be in good condition. Since you bought from Lazada, you can always complaint back to them if there is any issue with the phone.

I was using P2 before A1. For my usage I must say P2 is a 2 day phone while Mi A1 is a one day phone mainly due to battery size. On average I get 10-12 hours SOT while for A1 I'm getting 5-6hrs SOT with messaging, gps and online gaming.

Software wise A1 will be getting more updates but P2 isn't too bad, with almost stock Android and very minimal skin.

Camera the P2 has better Sony sensor but loses on portrait mode due to its single sensor.

Screen, it uses Amoled so images will look nicer on P2.

Speaker A1 sounds louder but less bass than P2.

Design and physical size, A1 is more comfortable to hold due to thinner body and looks more premium although looks like iPhone 7+ clone.

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.

That's the reason Lollipop have 5.1, Nougat have 7.1. same goes to Oreo, I'll get it when it's stable or Oreo 8.1

Probably anxiety leads to instant gratification.

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 for those who upgraded to Oreo, is the fast charging feature enabled? Do you notice any difference in the charging duration?

I did notice that the charging notification now shows as "charging rapidly".

Mention previously, just a minimal reduce in charging time even it shows 'Charging Rapidly' using its own charger & cable.
But I like to know, if use reputable brand QC charger (or OEM), is that Mi A1 charging time reduce greatly?

I use LG V10 charger to charge it, show fast charge...so is QC enable...
