I am using this phone from the last 1 month and I found that this is the best phone under 15000 that I ever used.
The Xiaomi MI A1 is powered by an octa-core qualcomm snapdragon 625 processor and Ram 4Gb which we have previously seen under the hood of the Redmi note 4 and Mi Max 2.
The Mi A1 comes with a 5.5-inch full HD LTPS display that amounts to 1080*1920 pixels. The screen of the Mi A1 can get really bright and also because it’s not as reflective as the aforementioned phones.
The Mi A1 runs stock android 7.1.2 Nougat out of the box and will be updated to the recently announced android oreo by the end of this year.
The speakers of this phone are loud and you wont feel that there is only one set of speaker in the bottom and you get very clear sound.
Complete metallic body looks very premium. I have black edition which looks stunning but the problem is that a slight fall is enough to give dent on your metallic finish. So, any way you need a good case to protect the body.
The Mi A1 handles basic games quite well. Graphics intensive game are prone to some lag especially during extended usage.
It’s safe to say that the Mi A1 offers the best dual camera implementation on a mid level budget phone right now. The rear camera of this phone is above awesomeness. It really give DSLR feel in portrait mode but the camera struggle in the low light. The front camera of this phone is average.
The 3080mah battery in the Mi a1 lasted for roughly 15 hours with heavy usage. Full charging time is not more than 75 min.
Their is no problem in using 4G sim. Work fine with both my Jio and Airtel.
It’s safe to say that the Mi A1 doesn’t disappoint, as far as regular day to day is concerned.
