MI 6 vs MI A1

Hello guys,
I need your honest opinion.
I need to get a new device. I only use blackberry old phone at this moment.
I am thinking of mi 6 or mi A1? Which one do you think is better?
I am thinking a1 for the price and stock android (what I love with oneplus before) but I like also to have snapdragon 835 and EIS for camera.
EIS also affect the quality of normal photos or videos only? I have shaky hands by the way.
Please advice.
Pricing:
mi a1 = 749 aed
mi 6= 1399 aed
Thanks guys

Mi 6 is better

Buy Mi 6 and install custom rom if you like stock.

Which custom ROM would you recommend? I couldn't find any with a battery performance and camera as good as the original one...

Mi 6 is flagship grade. A1 is midrange grade. The answer is very obvious.

imo
Brother! I have both the me A1 and the Mi 6 and the MI6 is so awesome and way better than the A1. Don't get me wrong, I like the A1 but the Mi 6 is so much faster and has many custom roms. If you look for the Mi A1 right now in the XDA forums there are no ROMs as of yet! The size of the Mi 6 is also much better than the size of the A1! I promise you brother!! You cannot go wrong with Mi 6!. It is an absolute pleasure to hold and to use!! And the dual firing speakers makes this a special beast! I personally love the MI6. I am selling my Mi A1

mi 6 is the best choice bro, good luck

Yep I had both the mi 6 was smaller in hand and snappier. Battery life similar on miui. Cam was also better
Mi6 my choice

I'd say if stock is more important to you and you dont mind weaker hardware - Mi A1.
You can install custom rom on mi6, but there will be bugs.
When my nexus died, I needed a replacement phone quick and A1 was not available. Having played with mi6 for a few month now, I'd probably bought A1 if I had a choice... or OnePlus5

Why don't you try LOS or AOSPA rom?

Basically two reasons:
I used custom aosp rom on nexus 4 when official support ended and while it works, you need to jump through some hoops to get everything working and wipe the phone (cba).
There is no Oreo roms. Updates will be late at least and most likely there will be bugs.
I know I should just get a pixel, but google has some issues with displays it seems.

Regular sized pixel 2 display is fine. Just the XL if seems.
So don't let it put you off.
Gf has it and is very happy and it is a little bit better than my mi 6 for software updates etc.
Performance is barely better like scrolling in chrome looks nice but google on Google will always be better with their optimizations.
If you need a performance device get one with the SD 835 its an amazing chip.
Blazing fast and no heat even on custom ROMs on Mi 6

Xiaomi Noise Cancellation Headphones OnePlus 3 Support?

I really admire Noise Cancellation in this earphone http://www.mi.com/in/earphonetype-c/ for 3k INR which is so impressive. I have found only premium headphones above 7k INR with this feature. Any luck this would play in OnePlus 3?
This Reddit post users says Either mic or Buttons might not work.
This Page claims that "Xiaomi Type-C headphones would only work with integrated audio Type-C smartphones" by any chance this in OP3

No Xiaomi uses priority setups. its like using apples 3.5 jack. not all things will work

anyone who've already bought or tried this earphone with Mi A1, please share whether it is this supported with active noise cancellation on Mi A1? I know that on the product page, its mentioned that ANC is officially supported in Mi 5 & Mi Mix 2, but considering A1 as Mi 5x variant (just release as android one software rebranding) considering the same identical hardware & specs, what can I expect?

You will be better off in the forum for that device. Most here wouldn't ever touch a Xiaomi device.

I do not agree.
I use three different Xiaomi earphones, very good value-for-money devices.
Unfortunately, ANC (JZEJ01JY) is not recognized by OP3.
Only USB AUDIO PLAYER PRO works with it ...

Go for a pair of pistons they're great Budget/Entry level earbuds

That doesnt mean much. I was speaking mostly about the developers that would be able to answer that type of question. Xiaomi is not popular on XDA, most developers wont touch their devices.

I have this earphone. The noise cancellation is good enough for me when I am on bus or subway. It works perfectly with my OnePlus 3.

Oxygen and LineageOS, I don't use Hydrogen.
I bought this earphone this June, I have not faces any issues since that. The compatibility is really good.

Noise Cancellation works?? I've heard we can't take calls with this earphone on oneplus phones

so, no one here properly uses it or test this earph with Mi a1 so that could say something about compatibility?

Have it it works! Using zenity Rom! But don't like it doesn't work with Arise, viper4fx, atmos still prefer my setup with the hybrid pro and it gets better cancelation noise.

recently Xiaomi release a 3.5 mm noise cancellation earphones, maybe them are compatible

Please can someone port MIUI on One plus 5t?

Is there someone who can port MIUI on this device?

Really that heavy skin instead of oxygen os . .
Sent from my ONEPLUS A5010 using Tapatalk

I personally hate the MIUI skin and the bloatware it adds with the ROM....
you might like it but OxygenOS is much more elegant

Ah the moment i'm on Liquid Remix 9 based on Oreo 8.1... It's a great rom but I don't like so much aosp based rom.... I prefer Miui or Samsung experience....

Up for this. Please make a MIUI rom.

+1, can sb port miui??

He bought a phone that is cheaper and developer friendly. The entire point of android is customization. He likes MIUI, you don't. Doesn't mean you are right or he is.

I wouldn't mind a MIUI port for it. Almost always running KLWP but just something with MIUI under the hood that feels more practical. OxygenOS, TouchWiz etc always leave me missing something. Then again, I been a MI phone user since MI2 so I might be biased

First of all my first phone is a Samsung S8 but I like customization and I can't customize a lot my S8 because I don't want to trip knox and loose warranty...
So I bought as second phone the 5t which is a great phone, quite cheaper and with a great community...
I use this phone for playing with customization...
Even if before this phone I had a Mi5 (which was a great phone) I didn't buy a new Xiaomi because I would have one phone with Amoled display...
That said, I simply would like to install other vendor ROM (like Miui, Samsung Experience or Emui) for playing with them..
I switched from iOS (ALWAYS JAILBROKEN) iPhone to Android Phone because of my intention to play and try theese Rom, but I would like to do this without having to buy from time to time different Android Phone...
And I thought that One plus 5t would have been a great phone even for trying vendor Rom...
For exemple: MIUI and Emui exist for One plus 3 or 3t... And Miui even for one plus 5...
So I simply would like that some of this Rom (or other vendor port) will arrive even for my 5t

Are you a former A1 user and now using the A2?

Hi,
As I consider to purchase an A2 and I wonder which pros and cons there are from the perspective of a former A1 user.
Which are the improvements?
Which are the disappointments coming from an A1?
Thank you very much in advance

I had A1 before A2 lite. Here are pros and cons for A2 lite. I got A2 lite only because of size and smaller bezels, but i hope to upgrade to MI 9 SE if it'll have global launch.
Pros:
- larger display size
- smaller bezels
- smaller device size
- larger battery
Cons:
- micro USB
- almost none custom ROM development

Yes, it gives you more mileage, but i think that full potential will be seen after we'll have custom ROMs.
Also i forgot to mention one more con: notch is sometimes annoying because when you have multiple icons/notifications in status bar it changes it to one dot because it doesn't have enough space for all icons and it's annoying when it does it almost every second for some period of time (because of network changes arrow or other changes). I don't know if you know what i'm talking about

I don't know if I know what you're talking about either.
Oh indeed, I can imagine that the small notification area is annoying.
It looks as If I keep my A1.
How do the cameras compare?
Thanks again!

I don't use camera very often and when i do i use stock camera app. So i can't compare picture quality. On A1 i used gcam but as far i can see there isn't fully working gcam for Pie roms, so i'm too lazy to search for the best working cam app.

Here's another one.
That's why I never upgraded my A1 since Fall '18. Too lazy to sort this Pie stuff w/ GCAM which is a must compared to the crappy X stock cam app.
Missing the FM radio app though.
Today the A2 lite arrived. Liked on first glance but Pie is not my piece of cake.
I still miss the old HTC UI as it was on my HTC M7.
(Reminds me a little about how I felt when Windows became unavoidable after having used Apple ][ DOS, CPM, MS-DOS. )
Damned I sound like my lovely grandmother!

I upgraded A1 to pie but i can't remember what i did with gcam :silly: and soon i bought a2 lite.
i think that stock aosp still doesn't have enough features like custom roms, aosp like lineage os would be great :laugh: and now miui looks very good, they have almost all aosp features + xiaomi ones
mi a2 lite would be perfect if they put features like amoled screen, nfc, usb type c. i was happy when mi8 se launched, but was very dissapointed when they annouced it will be only for china. so now i'm hoping mi9 se will be available for global market.
hahaha games for dos were dope.

Question Q¿Q

QQ I'm tired of sitting here on Redmi s2 and waiting for POCO F3. What do you say about him?

I'd recommend the Samsung A52s/A53 over the F3 for everyday use just because of how Samsung's OneUI is years ahead of the MIUI; plus the hardware is not bad at all. If you are gaming, however, get the F3.

Why would anyone stick to MEMEUI !
The hardware of F3 is pretty good. OS isn't a problem since this forum exists.

I'll tell you why people would stick to MIUI: Dolby Atmos & MIUI Camera.

You can get Dolby Atmos with magisk. As for MIUI camera. It's still not ported to A12 though it works on A11.
If those two are all what you're looking for! Why bother buying a badass phone like F3 !

Bruh. Have you ever tried any of the Dolby Atmos Modules? They sound rubbish. They don't use the Qualcomm Hardware Audio Capabilities. They only do Software-based Surround sound.
"MIUI Camera isn't ported to A12 yet": Yeah it's these things that make me stay on Stock ROM, you can hate on MIUI all you want, but at least there I get all features I paid for.
