Hi all, plan to buy an A2 for my mom to replace her very old Galaxy S5.. I am using OnePlus 6 (as I always value stock-ish Android) but OnePlus will be overkill for my mom who only needs basic functions.

I will not unlock or root her phone. Is there any major issues now? I read few pages back that battery can be an issue (cores locked at max frequency, etc).

lol. i am at nearly the same position as you, myself using a oneplus 6 but want to buy a phone for my sister. so far i have looked at asus zenphone max pro m1 (stock android), mi a2, mi a2 lite and redmi note 6. mi a2 128gb for less than 1000 looks like the best option.

yea I am only choosing from stock android phones because most phones with their own skin (Oppo, Samsung, Huawei etc) will eventually lag based on my experience. If Mi A2 doesn't have any major issues I think I will go for it.

Because you buy the phone then wanna roof that OS for your mom.
Is it she wanna play high end games or that processor cannot take it well to suit your mom.

For me no any issue with stock android and the overall preformed

4gb of ram has not issue for daily usage, if you more concerned about lagging, try to get 6gb/128gb model for her.

Camera wise, which better?

from few reviews i watched, max pro m1 seems to be the worst? although i think all abang adik la. mi a2 seems slightly better than the rest. i watched a few honor 8x videos yesterday and the reviewers is comparing it to op6. so far most videos i watch about honor 8x gives it great reviews though i am not sure whether those are paid videos.. from what i notice honor is really marketing hard for this phone. keep seeing ads everywhere so i am skeptical. sweat.gif

So given the release of Honor 8x, you will still opt for Mi A2 eh?

i might have to go to try it out first before i decide. i have tried mi a2 in digi center and its quite snappy.. havent had a chance to try honor 8x yet

depends. if not planning to flash custom roms, then maybe i will think about nokia which is more expensive than mi a2. with a cheaper mi a2, after the 2-3 years gerentid updates, i can flash custom roms for updates, which one can't do with a nokia.

if choose nokia 7 plus, just add rm 200 more and you will get an international set Oneplus 6, which is even more worth it.

so it's either mi a2 or oneplus 6 for me.
