I'm gonna hit myself in the balls and buy the Mi A2 Lite (I owned a Mi A1 phone but I broke it) and I want to check out this phone because why not? (Don't say it)
Did XIAOMI fixed their mistakes with the Mi A1? Missing EIS, broken updates etc.
People who already have the phone:
How is it? Good or bad for that price range? (I know I could get a better phone for the same amount of money so don't say it)
If anyone had a Mi A1 is anything better with Mi A2 Lite than with Mi A1?

Well, I don't know about the Mi A1, but I've been using the A2 Lite for a few days and everything looks great...if you can get the 64/4 for 180-200$ or the 32/3 for a bit less it's good enough.
You could get better phones, for me android one is the deal-breaker. I just like stock android, and hate OEM's skins.
Battery life is really good, camera is ok, no laggy UI and it's updated to the latest security patch (August 5th).
If Android One is what you're looking for then yes, this phone is good for it's price range.
It's not a camera phone, but it takes nice photos if the light allows it, and is not a gaming phone, but gets the job done on my day to day use (which consists in no social apps installed, only Boost for Reddit and Whatsapp)
For the most part is a smaller A1 with a bigger battery.
I come from an S8, and I don't miss a single thing. Maybe the USB-C, but I couldn't care less. I needed a phone with near to stock Android, good battery life and comfortable size. This is it. If you have other needs, you can get something else for sure!

1- I don't know. If I'm not wrong, no EIS by default, but with GCam I got some nice video stabilization compared to stock camera.
Only two OTA updates until now, both installed without problems, and they both come regularly in the second half of the month.
2- As you said, you can get better phones for the same money. The main reason I bought this phone is the 72 mm width, that you won't find at this price with all the features of Mi A2 Lite.
3- I don't have Mi A1 but the main differences with A2 Lite are the dimensions (A1 bigger than A2 Lite), the battery (3000 mAh on A1 vs 4000 mAh on A2 Lite) and the screen (regular 16:9 A1 vs 18:9 with notch on A2 Lite).

Too early to tell with the software but it does come with Treble so that is a bonus, It does see like EIS is included in the video and seems to work.

Coming from a OnePlus 5, I wanted something smaller and this was one of the few devices under ~72mm. The 625 is sufficient for everything I do (Mostly Calls, Texting, Youtube & Social Media) (No Games). Camera is acceptable, not great not unusable. 4000mAh is just an awesome bonus. Phone is nice and loud. The only other device that caught my eye is the Nokia 6.1 Plus but I'm skeptical because the camera might be worse, isn't widely available and audio quality is questionable.

Phone still kind of big prefer it was a bit narrow and shorter.
Yeah same here but there aren't many options.
I've just ordered the Lite from Amazon. I've had an A1 for 2 days, but it seems broken so is going back. Main reasons for not going full A2 are the battery, I have a million micro USB cables, and the size. I don't need a top end phone, so for £155 and Google One, the lite is a total bargain.
Just thought I would post at how good my experience has been with this phone, I was surprised to see that it is well over a year now since it was released (July 2018) and I got mine very soon after in August 2018.
The year has literally flown by in mobile phone terms, as I had normally found myself bored / unhappy with a phone after about 6 months, but this phone is still spot on and feels like a 'new pbone' still.
Android One is just by far the best OS, and coupled with a decent processor and fantastic battery life (which has not deteriorated at all seemingly) I can see myself using this for another year, especially as it is right at the maximum size physically to use one handed for me.
I have been tempted by the Mi 9T (and pro) but it is just that little bit bigger, and also, more so, it has Miui on it. If it had an Android One Version I would have got one, but it just seems there has not been any better Android One Phones since (the new Mi A3 has an awful screen, the Mi A2 has no headphone etc)
So a belated happy birthday Mi A2 Lite, hopefully there will be a great Mi A4 Lite in a year or so.
My previous phone is no longer fixable and that means I've to search for a other phone.
After a some time of searching work, I have now these two phones left at the list:
- Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite
- Xiaomi Poco X3
My requirements for the phone is:
- A free unlockable bootloader
- A price no higher then €320,00
- 128GB storage
- A good camera (I've a Instagram account and I post pictures there and because I want good quality pictures)
- More then 3000mah battery
- Good performance (Especially gaming)
- Running Android
I've watches many video's and readed many articles but I can't still decide which phone, so some advice is appreciated.
I readed that the Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite has a bad microlens camera and the camera feels sluggish, maybe someone here uses a Xiaomi Mi10T Lite and can tell me if it's true.
And the Xiaomi Poco X3 doesn't support 5G so it's less futureproof, because I expect to use the phone for some years I expect that 5G will be commonly avaible in my country then (The Netherlands)
I'm also impressed by by the latter and the Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite is the same in terms of performance as the Xiaomi Poco X3, but I'm very confused right now.
So the big question is, which phone is the best option for me if you look at my requirements?
I have zero experience with X3 (NFC), but 10T lite sounds like it ticks all your boxes. Macro camera is a joke (no autofocus), but it doesn't really bother me, I simply don't use it.
You can find some comparison between 10T lite and X3 in this Russian forum (use Google translate), the general consensus is that 10T lite is improved X3. And upcoming X3 PRO will be improved 10T lite.. I think that at the end it comes to the cost - if you're money's tight, go with X3, if you can get a good deal on 10T lite, buy 10T lite.
Update: I've chosen the Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite 128GB as my next phone.
It has a better processor as the Xiaomi Poco X3 128GB, although the latter has a smaller battery capacity I find performance more important than battery capacity so I don't really mind using a phone with a smaller battery capacity if I get a better performance in exchange.
That means the question is now answered so thank you for your help!
However, if my sister finds it too expensive and tells me she can't order that phone then it will be the Xiaomi Poco X3. (I'm only 17 years old and I'm not allowed to order stuff on my own)
Update: I received my Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite and I can say that I'm very impressed.
I'm amazed by it's battery life, camera and performance.
120hz is very smooth.
I had to first get used to MIUI because it's kinda different from the other Android UI's but I'm satisfied now.
MIUI is a very beautiful UI imo.
Very nice, you can get a custom ROM and tweak it if you like
My previous phone isn't repairable anymore so my next phone will be the Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite.
But does it come with a screenprotector applied out of the box just like the Xiaomi Poco X3?
Yes it does, but its a thin one, more like temporary until you get a new one.
Yes i found out only after i received the phone. The screen protectors i bought will be on standby.
It's a great phone, you won't regret your purchase.

The Mi 10T (Non Pro) in my country is 415$ and the Poco F3 450$
I think the performance is almost the same and I don't mind the LCD Panels (which will last longer I think) I was wondering about other aspects of the phone.
Quality, Rom support, Heating, Sounds, longevity, Build Material.. the things beyond the numbers. Could someone share their views on which is better and why?
Seems to me that F3 support will be very strong. After a few weeks we already have a Pixel Experience and a Lineage OS ROM, and an alpha TWRP.
I'm biased having owning a Poco F3. One of the best features is the AMOLED panel. It is so beautiful and I never want to go back to LCD after this. The other big feature is the amazing flagship level haptics. Overall smartphone performance is superb so I would recommend the F3. However, it comes down to your priorities. In terms of ROMs we're just getting started. Yesterday morning a private device tree went public and since then we've had LineageOS, Pixel Experience+ and TWRP unofficial releases. As a result I expect developer support on this device to be exceptional.
I have had both Mi 10T Pro and Poco F3. Since 10T (non-pro) lacks OIS and has a smaller main camera sensor I would choose F3. The screen is so much better on F3 It also have a better in-hand feel due to the lighter and thinner design. Battery life is probably slightly better on 10T and heating may be less of an issue of that phone as well. Build quality and haptics are also better on 10T but still good enough on F3. The only reason I sold F3 and kept 10T Pro was for the great camera on 10T Pro.
Ips on X3 is fine but that pixel response time is to slow and causes ghosting wich on Oled is much better.Black levels are fine to on X3, yes you can see difference when you look side to side.I am talking about x3 because I have one and I think 10t has the same screen only oc at 144hz.They all have same screens.F3 is a perfect phone with good not great camera.

Did not have any problems at all. Loved F3 for normal use. I actually miss that phone. It feels so good in the hand and the screen and fluidity are great.

Depends on what you value. Have you actually owned both decices or are you just guessing based on specs or reviews? As I already said. If you prefer a great screen and a phone that feels light in the hand. F3 is better. IMO the difference in screen quality is not small. The sceen on 10T / 10T Pro is good for an IPS but still have grey areas around the corners and the punch-hole typical for IPS-panels. The AMOLED-screen on F3 also feels more crisp and vibrant. If OP do not care about IPS vs AMOLED go for 10T.
On a side note. I assume that Mi 10T Pro and Mi 10T are the same phones besides the camera. I have only experience with 10T Pro not 10T. But anyway. Yes, haptics are good on F3 but even better on 10T Pro. Xiaomi is the new android king of haptics. Did not see that coming. Almost all new phones from Xiaomi have a great vibration motor. Was actually blown away by the haptics on 10T Pro. What is intresting is that haptics on Mi 11 is even better.

Mi 10T 5G is cheaper than the Poco F3 in my country that's why I'm asking if the difference is worth.
Mi 10T 5G Costs 415$
Poco F3 Costs 446$

I only worry that the AMOLED doesn't last as long but I do prefer a lighter and a thinner phone. I think I mostly made my mind on the F3 .. just waiting for it to be released as it has been announced for a month now and still no release

Where do you live?
In Sweden Mi 10T Pro is super cheap second hand. I bought mine for €250 a couple of months ago. It was in perfect condition. Was able to sell it for the same price last week. Mobile phones operators have great offers on Xiaomi phones so many people buy them cheap when they subscribe to a new contract and then sell them second hand. I just subscribed for a contract so I can get Mi 11i for €500 including mi wireless earphones and mi band 6. However, it is only required to pay one month and then I can cancel the subscription. I go for Mi 11i since I liked the in-hand feel and screen on F3 but want a better camera. Is it only in Sweden one can take advantage of offers like this?

I think other European countries and the US have the same carrier-phone relation but where I live (Egypt) there isn't offers like this sadly.
