Tim Schofield Very good review brother. But beginning with some nice graphics and some background music and your name will make your videos look even better what already is good. Cheers
As a Mi A1 user I'd like to point out a few things. 1) As you like smaller display size, go to developer options and change "smallest width" to 440 or something higher (built in android feature). 2) The fingerprint sensor delay was reduced a bit after an update. The sensor itself is super fast (verify it by just quickly tapping the sensor and it will recognise it, but will take time to light up the screen). 3) You are correct to try out the zoom lens with good lighting as it doesn't work in dim lighting. You can check the exif data to see which lens was used. To force use the sensor, go to manual mode and tap on 'Lens' so that it changes to 'Tele'. Now leave everything else on auto and it will take the pic with that zoom lens no matter the lighting.
Its already 2017,people still complaining about copying iPhone designs.I dont care,as long as Xiaomi is giving us practical price for the right specs thats more important than copying.
RebornChiekoGaming lmfao, y’all quick to say that; but when iPhone does it with the features like Samsung has... people still complain about iPhone copying them... 🤫
Hello how is the display? I'm just concerned with the display and a bit on the performance. Currently considering the A5 2017. So which do you think is better?
in budget range i think this phone smashed other brand full specification 4 GB RAM | 64 GB ROM | Expandable Upto 128 GB 5.5 inch Full HD Display 12MP + 12MP Dual Rear Camera | 5MP Front Camera 3080 mAh Li-polymer Battery Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 64 bit Octa Core 2GHz Processor Android Nougat 7.1.2 | Stock Android Version Android One Smartphone - with confirmed upgrades to Android Oreo and Android P
Halakaj the camera is actually pretty good, if you search UA-cam you'll see plenty of it's camera reviews and the bokeh effect is so good considering this price range
What a great backup phone if something happens to my pixel XL. Beautiful hardware and great software, what more could you really ask for. Great video as always sir.
people here complaining about Xiaomi copying iPhone needs to see each and every company including Apple is copying the bezel-less design which is first introduced by Xiaomi and don't even get me started about the Sharp Aquos, so if one company decides to sue another we'll be left with no phone at all #getalifepeople
Safiullah Saikat i mean they have their mouths so they can complain about whatever they want to even though they be talking shit most of the time. They don't need to get a life, they just need to get some knowledge.
Tim, will this phone with in the US with any carriers? Or is this review just for people in all other countries? Can you please clarify if I should be getting excited about this or not? Thanks in advance.
Erik Toman Search the bands that your carrier uses. Under the Connectivity & Wireless it shows what bands the phone will work on: www.mi.com/en/mi-a1/specs/
5.5 inches for a screen is a bit big for me (personal preference). I love the screen size of the Nexus 5x (5.2 inches). It's not too small and not too big. Even the Google Pixel 2's 5.0 inch screen looks good to me. But still 5.2 inches I feel is the perfect screen size.
How is the reception on this phone? In the U.S. what LTE band are you getting? Based on the specs. it looks like you are receiving band 4 on LTE and band 2 HSPA+
John Michael Lalata Mei up m6note is better camera and battery life , performance is similar , but of course mi a1 gets android updates and is cheaper, for 4/64 gb at least.
How are the software and security updates on this phone coming? Android One is supposed to update their phones way faster than Xiaomi does by themselves.
Side note: there's also a sim eject tool in the box!

Mi A1 vs Moto X4.

Playboi Millionaire both sides are stupid af
Yeahh for just 1/4 of the price of iphone people shouldn't be really complaining about the design
We need more of these in the smartphone market. Good hardware with stock Android.
I never expected you'd make a video on A1
Currently owning the device, it's great!

I mean the camera is bad but 4gb ram for a 200$ phone with stock android is great. Props to MI, they seem to be the next samsung

P will be potato
I think this is actually a very nice phone
Arianah Harvey so you like iPhone clones?
Dysfunctional Meta it's based of the iPhone 7 + design and you can't deny that
So you guys must consider OnePlus 5 as iPhone 7 clone as well
A1 = budget nexus resurrected
Zgembo121 kinda wht i was thinking good point there
Budget iphone design
Except that unlock the bootloader on Xiaomi is a bitch!
Tomorrow will be a week since i applied and still no code or any answer
No where close to Nexus. Still no Oreo update on a phone that should have launched with Oreo out of the box.
Zgembo121 you are right
That's the best looking iphone i've ever seen. But no really, that phone is GORGEOUS!
What a great backup phone if something happens to my pixel XL. Beautiful hardware and great software, what more could you really ask for. Great video as always sir.
Ayyy thanks for covering my phone..been using this for 2 months now..a very good phone with very good camera..

Safiullah Saikat they copied apple ...
Makayla Perez sadly yes
Where did you get the rose gold one? Here, we're stuck with black and gold
Been waiting for this one!
It's interesting to see you getting the Rose Gold variant. I love this color!
Thank you for Mi A1 video. Can you please make comparison video of both Android one phone you have ( Moto and Mi)
Nice one. Android One smartphone. Im an Android One user. Love stock android. 👍😊
This actually looks really good.
Nice review Tim!
There are many good good phones in this range but why is that Mi a1 is always in my mind
i was waiting for this one...
Thanks for reviewing my favorite smartphone
I like the color and the stock Android system
One of the best phone ive purchased. Xiaomi mi a1 all the way...

Ankur Gupta savage
Nice phone. Looks like the iPhone 7 Plus. Mainly because of the metal build.
I ordered today 👌
I love ur videos and watch it most of the time and now I realized I was not subscribed and did it now👍
Nice review! Love it!
In india this smartphone is th best budget smartphone
Looks like a great phone for the price. I wish they had used on screen buttons for it.
Schofield, one small request. Please check the signal reception of this phone in spotty areas...Some say, it's not that good...Thank you...
I hope you cover the charging speed using the native charger that comes in the box and the quick charge 3.0
Tim, will this phone with in the US with any carriers? Or is this review just for people in all other countries? Can you please clarify if I should be getting excited about this or not? Thanks in advance.

So many good budget phones nowadays
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge 128GB + 128GB microSD card (yesterday's flagship) and I'm thinking of switching to this.
I noticed a slight gap between the screen and the body ! Right?
Great review
Nexus nostalgia 😍
5.5 inches for a screen is a bit big for me (personal preference). I love the screen size of the Nexus 5x (5.2 inches). It's not too small and not too big. Even the Google Pixel 2's 5.0 inch screen looks good to me. But still 5.2 inches I feel is the perfect screen size.
I kinda want one
Me too but it's seems slow by coming on
Dysfunctional Meta how is it by the way?
I am gonna get one!!
William Parker-Rivera just get a iphone 7plus or 8 plus
Makayla Perez why the hell would I want one you isheep, they're more generic than your Snapchat dog filter profile pic
I own the phone now and it's great 🙂
Please make videos on rooting mi a1 and installing custom ROM.
Game of phones kothari kernel not yet available

Just subscribed today!!!
That what every Android phone should be! Clean software and no crazy ugly 3rd party bullshit ;)
Can we get a speed test between the moto x4 and this.
Moto x4 will win of course
Almost same software, but better specs
Xiaomi Mi A1 and Meizu M6 Note are the best for Europeans on a low budget ( ~ 300 euro)
AMPyro which one is better
John Michael Lalata Mei up m6note is better camera and battery life , performance is similar , but of course mi a1 gets android updates and is cheaper, for 4/64 gb at least.
Waiting for you to unbox that
hey, redmi note 5 or redmi mi a1 is good for gaming and battery?.thanks bro
Lol you got HK version 😂 feel proud to be Hongkonger

Will you review the HTC U11 Life when it comes out?
Some people have been talking about a problem in video recording .. some sounds of distortions , something like that .. did that happen ?
Please do a full review on Mi A1 .
Finally, someone reviewing this phone that doesn't worship a blue elephant
Android is nexus and pixel is google high end that google own branded without manufactured logo.
How's the build quality?
Thế Hoàng Nguyễn premium
Can project Fi work same on this device as other Google phone?
How are the software and security updates on this phone coming? Android One is supposed to update their phones way faster than Xiaomi does by themselves.
Art Dog The phone got Android Oreo a month ago and it's running the February security patch
Please do a review of this phone as well thanks tim
Please make a review on AndroidOne devices, Moto X4 and Xiaomi Mi A1. I'll be waiting. Thx.
Does It Have A Warranty Card In The Box?
IR blaster awesome 😂
please make full review if possible.
Did anyone ever mention that you look like Linus?
It's the Xiaomi iPixel
John Gardner lmao 😂
Please compare the Moto vs Mi A1!
People here complaining about the design being copied from iphone needs to look it cost just $230 what else do you want at this price.
A stock android phone that is available in my country!
Is it stock android make any difference
Is the fingerprint censor a bit slow in this phone? My screen first blacks out a bit and then it opens when I use the censor.
Not satisfied by screen protector removal. It should be removed at a 45° angle for maximum pleasure
Does it work with Google Project Fi and do you get 4g LTE
This phone doesn't have LTE band 12, 17, but has 2,4. Partially compatible with AT&T and T-mobile
I love it
Is it waterproof ..??
Will it work with my 4g LTE cricket sim card?
Well, this looks quite familiar... 🤔🤔🤔
Can you please do comparison video a1 and x4
Hit the like button as soon as he removed that screen protector!
Any word on the carriers supported
Sounds like a nerfed nexus program
I wanna get a Mix 2 but not sure where to get it from.
Johnny Le Check gearbest.com. It's the best place to buy items such as the Mi Mix 2.
The main attraction of this phone is stock Android obviously. The design is very uninspired.
Can see a gap between the screen and the body👀
Same phone i am using
tim, make root videos for mi a1 please
Where can we purchase the phone online that ships to the USA?
josh rosales Pretty much all of the foreign and online retailers ship to the US.

Warna ros emas cantiknya
im waiting for the updated version with OIS, sd660
