The Best Xiaomi Phone EVER!

In this video, we're taking a trip down memory lane. We're discussing Xiaomi's journey in India, how it rose from nothing, took the market by storm, became market leader and then lost its way in recent years. We'll also talk about some of Xiaomi's best phones, the success and failure of Redmi Note series, their great leadership team's departure, and more. We have also included one very important suggestion for Xiaomi in the video. Now, this video is quite different from our usual videos and we hope you appreciate it and share it on your social feed.

My first Android phone after using Nokia Lumia for more than 5 years. It was an amazing phone with very capable camera and amazing audio quality. I had a lot of fun installing custom ROMs on this device. This device will always have a special place in my heart.

[@harman.]

I remember wanting to buy this phone soo hard, it really was the OG at that time. Nostalgia hitting hard. It still looks stunning, I mean just look at that sexy unibody metal design with those antenna lines. Love it.

I'm commenting this from MI A1 itself. Been using it since 2018 and never found its worthy replacement. Every other phone feels like a compromise in front of this phone.

[@tonyd.u.y7262]

Proud owner of the Mi A1 for more than 4 years. Great build, great software, custom rom support is also very good

[@DocThinks]

My Hot Take: if ads (that can be disabled) can give me a better hardware in the same price, I'm all for it I just can't seem to understand why people are so appalled by bloatware or ads ... it's sooo so easy to uninstall / turn them off

[@am-I-shinchan]

Yes bro you are right. In Indian market we want better specs in lowest price, so if company give uninstallable Bloatware then I think there is no problem 😊

[@VikrantKoushikOfficial]

Phone was soo ahead of time, that I had to sell it after using for 6months due to my travel habits and lack of type C in my circle. Seriously

[@amunra797]

I tought that Xiaomi phones are the best till the day I started to use oppo/realme. Since that day in October 2019, 0 ads, 0 unwanted apps, 0 lag, 0 problems, absolutely brilliant software, smart and useful. Stellar multi tasking, the best on the market. Besides phones I'm a big fan of Xiaomi brand.

[@prathameshberde5541]

Proud A series owner

[@anubhavroy2309]

My favorite was redmi 2. It was so good for the price at the time that any phones other than the pretty expensive ones failed in comparison. The images were so amazing, I don't know how they managed that.

[@pranjalsharma35]

I had the Mi A1 for about 2 yrs and the software experience was just brilliant. Than switched to Redmi K20 Pro which I used for 5 yrs. The MIUI was so buggy in that phone and the updates were also late always with added bugs every time. Now shifted to Samsung Galaxy S23 and having peace of mind using the OneUI.

[@booptidyscoop7790]

I still have it and it still works

[@AbhijitBiswasDBZ]

My Mi A1 was stolen from my pocket in Mumbai local trains 😅😢😢😢😢😢 I was a student from a very poor family, 3 months no phone then...

[@abhishekmukherjee4063]

I still remember that this phone was in direct competition with Moto G5s plus (as both had very good dual camera setup & both started the trend of dual camera setup), & i bought a Xiaomi phone in 2017 (just before this phone launched) & within 6 months, its motherboard got damaged, because of which it left a bitter taste in my mouth abour experience with Xiaomi, hence i moved to Moto, but after buying Moto , when this A1 came, i later started to regret as i loved its stock android experience over Moto 's stock Android

[@shivamtripathi809]

Mi A series was a budget friendly pixel for everyone

[@okaybossiamonyoutubeakkskd]

ah Proud owner here, got after my 10th boards in 2018, still runs okay. Gotta say, this device habituated me with clean UI experience. Also something a whole lot of people don't talk about is the speakers and the dual flashlights. Good times

[@roxydragon77]

Bought Mi A3 4 years ago. It still sometimes gave a tough competition in camera to today's smartphones. Unfortunately, a year ago my Mi A3's motherboard died. Still miss my Mi A3. R.I.P.🙏

[@dannnnn809]

Why did Xiaomi abandon Xiaomi Android One? This is because Xiaomi doesn't get money, if you use MIUI/HYPEROS you can include ADS.

[@am-I-shinchan]

Yes bro you are right. In Indian market we want better specs in lowest price, so if company give uninstallable Bloatware then I think there is no problem 😊

[@shbhmk]

Stock android or light skins are amazing and i don't understand how people use phones with heavy skins. Stock android is the reason I've been a moto user for so long. I'd buy a pixel if i could afford one. I'll definitely buy one when I get a job after college.

[@kanishkasamanta7645]

I owned a Mi Max 2 phone, I thoroughly enjoyed it, but due to some reasons, there was a charging issue, and the service center told that the part was unavailable. I wish I could use the phone till date. It's just a piece of memory now!

[@rajanpaudel8596]

I think k20 pro was the most worthy.

[@nordlyssrlys6945]

The problem for Xiaomi in India is that Indians are putting greater budget for phones and the Indian mentality is that Xiaomi makes value for money phones but not flagships, unlike the reputation that Samsung, Apple, Google and OnePlus has made in India

[@shubhranshumukherjee1963]

just use custom roms in latest supported devices, it fullfills all the criterias

Was an avid fan of the classy A1 but as had already got the Max 2...didn't switch...they never launched Max 3 in India & eventually shut down the Max series...quite sad..considering even 6-7 years before it had a large display with 5500 mah cell translating to fab battery life...but favourite has to be the legendary Poco F1...simply an outstanding all rounder that ticked almost all the boxes...!!
