    Great phone my current one :)

    • Agreed, best bang-for-buck android I've owned I think.

    • minus the fm radio if not rooted

    Got mine a few hours ago, and the build quality, screen, responsiveness and android purity are all great.

    • Agreed with all except for the screen quality, looks a bit washed out to me and my mi5 was a lot better.

      Rear camera works well in good light with the google camera app. In low light both cameras struggle a lot.

  • How do I charge this phone since this brand don't have an official Australian charger plug?

    • It should come with an adaptor mine did from DWI), but any charger with USB-C lead will work

    • Any old USB plug will do the job.

  • You buy a universal adaptor. When I bought the phone through lightinthebox, they gave me a converter but not the Australian one. Maybe you could put a note in your order to tell them to include the AU adaptor.

    Alot of reviews put the Redmi 5 Plus ahead of the Mi A1 in terms of the speed, design and camera abilities.

    There was a recent YouTube video that shows the colouring of the A1 to be very dull compared to sharp colouring in the Redmi 5 Plus.

  • What version of Android does this run? - EDIT: Just seen, 7.0

    Is there regular updates for the Xiaomi Phones?

    • This one runs Android One from Google so will be updated a lot faster than the one runs Xiao Mi OS. I think some people already got 8.0 for the Mi A1.

      • yep it does OTA to oreo and a march security patch.

  • Sharp Aquos S2: better screen, band 28 and NFC.

    Was ~$210 Joybuy.

      Damn must have missed the OzBargain link…

  • How does this phone compare to others for around the same price?

  • How does this phone compare to the samsung S5? Thinking of updating

    • The S5's screen is better and has a few more niche features like the hr sensor, but if you don't use the latter, you will appreciate the increase in RAM and faster performance and a camera that is a tiny bit better. You might miss the screen, but that's more of a subjective thing. Oh and you get Android One, whereas I think the S5 is stuck on Android 6 (MM)

      • For me personally, I think the MI A1 camera quality is way worse than the Samsung S4 which is what I had previously. Everything else I have no complaints about…although my phone is very slightly bent - I guess they didn't just copy iphones design

  • Any deals for a phone with a larger screen?

    • 5 posts up, check out Redmi 5 Plus

  • Any idea when can we see deal for 'Redmi Note 5 Pro'?

    • still don't have any stocks for now
