Xiaomi Mi A1

Mi A1

I bought this product back in December 2017. I am using this device for almost 1 year and 5 months and now I got the chance to give my full review with the help of MOUTHSHUT.COM. Review will be in the form of Pros and Cons. so let’s start

PROS:

1. The best device under 15k as compared to all other devices of this range.

   
   




2. Battery backup is awesome whereas it has only 3000mah battery but it gives you a full day backup(normal daily usage).

   
   




3. Android one gives u all the latest updates for up to 2 years according to google and yes it is giving as per promised. When I bought this device it was running on android version 7 now it is running on android version 9 with the latest security patch of March 2019.

   
   




4. Camera setup is dual for rear and single for front. Rear camera is 12mp X 12mp with PDAF and 2x optical zoom with dual led flash quite incredible in normal daylight and indoor lights. Its depth effect is awesome it will gives u DSLR type of pics. U will get awesome pics quality which u are getting in high end devices. Front camera is 5 mp and it gives u good pics in normal daylight and indoor lights with beauty modes.

   
   




5. CPU is 2.0 ghz octa core which gives u a better performance and no speed and lagging issues.

   
   




6. Ram is 4gb for a better device and gaming performance.

   
   




7. Screen size and quality is awesome as it comes with 5.5 inches screen and resolution of 1920x1080 corning gorilla glass 3 which gives u a better viewing experience.

   
   




8. Built quality is really good. It feels like a premium android device.

   
   




9. Video recording in this price segment amazed me. This phone is having video recording in 4k yes that’s right in this price range you are getting 4k video recording feature.

   
   




10. Storage you are getting is 64 gb and u can upgrade it to 128 gb so storage is not an issue in this device.

    
    




11. You are getting a Stock Android experience because it runs on stock android.

    
    

Cons:

1. Dual Hybrid sim slot is a con for me because you can use 1 sim if u want to use a memory card with it else you can use 2 sims.

   
   




2. Camera. as it is a camera centric phone but it struggles in low lighting conditions and at night as well. It works well only in day light conditions.

   
   




3. EIS [ Electronic Image Stablization ] is missing in this device. If you are recording videos in any resolution you have to be very steady otherwise recording will be very shaky.

   
   




4. It does not support fast charging. You are getting a normal charger of 5w at 2amp.

   
   




5. Fingerprint sensor is slow as compared to other devices in this price range.

   
   




6. Speaker for call and loudspeaker was really good when I bought this device but after some updates it drops down and now I have to use headsets to talk or watching videos.

   
   

These are the Pros and Cons as per my experience.

All I want to say about this device is it is a good handy phone in this price range. I completely recommend this device.

Thanks
