Anyone else has it yet?
I own it for a couple of days and it's great, pure stock android straight from Google, nice specs, good battery life, build quality, looks, headphone jack sound quality (and I'm coming from the HTC 10) and powerful external speaker. The only thing not so good is the stock camera app but I've seen people getting much better results when adding the Google Camera (needs rooting) so there's hope Xiaomi fixes it with an update.
Cheers
 
Where do you live and what do you get for data?

I'm in the US, and it shows 4G now on T-mobile (at first I only had 2G service, but traveled into a 4G area and it's stayed on 4G ever since). I am trying to figure out which bands are being utilized for my 4G service, since I'd like to switch to Mint or Cricket.

Anyhow, I like it so far. For me, it's just an interim until something hits the market that I really like.

The built quality is phenomenal, camera is OK, screen is great but screen resolution much lower than I had before, and this phone is gorgeous but BIG.

I got it within 3 days from China.

I live in Portugal and get 4G constantly since this smartphone has all the bands used here in Europe.

I was wondering if you are still using T-Mobile US and how the service is? Are you getting LTE service or HSPA+?

I am also interested in the device and was wondering which site you purchased from.

Thanks.
 
Actually, i intend to buy this as my second phone, how about the camera? is that okay? i mean it is dual camera right, maybe can produce some great blur effect on the background..

So it is almost 3 month now since the last time you posted about this topic, so everything is okay? i mean battery life, smoothness and so on
 
Hi folks! Last night my A1 downloaded and installed the june security patch. After that I noticed a slightly different UI. When I looked Underwood settings. I realised we got 8.1. So it's basically a global rollout. Do you have Oreo 8.1 on your Mi A1 installed? How it feels like?
 
I just got mine 2 weeks ago from Amazon.ca (in Canada).
Updated right away to 8.1.
Loving it so far. Upgraded from a BlackBerry DTEK50
