GadgetMatch Hey team! Another quality work. One request, can you make a review on Doogee Mix 2. It's mid-range with dual-camera as well. Unbox Therapy made a review on Doogee Mix. I think the brand is a making a name already, would love to see you guys making a review before it becomes big. Love the work, as always!
I hope huawei do an android one version phone also. They are pumping out phones all over the place and this would be great opportunity to test the waters.
I'm currently typing from Mi A1 4GB + 64GB (Black) It's pretty good, fast & responsive. BTW, edit that price range because now it's been cut permanently to $210
I have Mi A1 & it charges in just 1 hour & 30 minutes from 0% to 100% but sometimes it took two hours also It's a superb mid ranger which gives looks of a flagship in hands with very bright display and fast performance with no lag in gaming specially An excellent performer with great camera (Specially Portrait mode in daylight) & battery life, Stock Android works fine but we have no option of black theme in it just white theme in it , (Maybe in OREO Update which is about to come they include black theme also ) Anyhow in my point of view it's better then H.7X , mate 10 lite & Oppo f5
I use the same wire which comes with box but i dont use box charger infact i use another Mi Fast charger which i bought from Mi Store some months ago ... 100-240VAC , 50/60Hz , 0.5 A ( 5V=2A /9V=12A/12V=1A ) these things are mentioned on My Mi Fast Charger & believe me it just took 1-hour and 30 minutes to charge from 0% to 100% but some times dont know why it took two hours also but mostly probably it took just 1-hour and 30 minutes ,,, I also read somewhere in forums that after latest updates Xiaomi Reduced charging time , Maybe your reviewed unit need to update Cheer's
I got one today! First impression things i like 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 1. Design & built 📱 2. Camera of course 📷 3. Pure android, oreo very soon 🐙 4. Battery backup 🔋 5. Audio quality 🎧 Price worthy 9.5/10
Thank you GadgetMatch I was waiting for you guys to review this phone coupled with the Nova 2i, thanks for making it easy for me to decide on my xmas present!
GadgetMatch Yes..! They make Xiaomi Redmi 5A Prime (Y1) with 16MP Front Camera. And They just released Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus with 18:9 Aspect rasio. That would be dreamy phone.. 😅
You forgot to mention that the sound quality of it is incredible at this price point, witch is one of the strong's of this phone. Edit: Holy this got highlighted!
soy gordo T 👍👍👍agree. When I heard the music via headset for the first time . wow... The bass really good👍 great phone. this what I've been looking.. Budget phone with nice bass
1:11 - "You get an app draw" - Yes, an app draw which misses many apps which other phones I've known contain. Notepad, sound recorder, email, & weather apps I needed to search for & download because they weren't included. And my older phones had a nicely integrated email app, for example, better than ones from the store. There is no such email app in this phone, & also few widgets. I'm a bit confused by this.
Great smartphone, and inspired choice, I've had mine 4 weeks now. I came from iPhone 6 cost £699 in Sept 2014, loyal to iOS for 10 years. Very happy, and I hope Xiaomi bring out Mi A1 Gen2 as I will stay loyal, Pure Android is the way forward for me. Duel sim is very handy, I get 7hrs SoT. I use the Samsung browser, Outlook and Pixel 2 'Live wallpaper' waves on beach, all very nice. Oreo due soon, but will pass till Feb '18 (check reviews first) as device is working so well. I bought mine from banggood for £182 Pixel 2 flagship smartphone of the year 2017, Mi A1 mid range (at crazy reasonable low end price) smartphone of the year 2017. Three Mi A1 for one Pixel 2, think family of four, plus Duel sim capability so Mi A1 overall winner. Did I mention the headphone jack? Great review btw Michael.
Can you compare A1 camera with Nexus 5x/6p camera?Old models with good camera.It is time to change Nexus,but still want pure android and have no money for Pixels.
How about compare the MI A1 with the honor 7x, I would like to know which is better cuz it's difficult for me to choose between those two, so can u help me out..
Please compare the camera of Mi A1 with Nova 2i. Bcz my uncle bought nova 2i and now he wants to exchange his nova 2i with a1. So please compare the cameras...
We don't like ZenUI and all the bloatware it comes with, so our vote goes to the Mi A1. The Oreo update on the Zenfone 3 still hasn't rolled out, but it'll likely come to the Mi A1 in the next few weeks plus you're more likely to get up to Android P update next year as well. The dual camera and really cheap price tag are just a great bonus to add.
Im planning to buy a new phone this January, is this a good choice? Do you know a fairly new model that has the treding borderless displays? I cant afford the iPhoneX, maybe around 400-600 USD. Any suggestions?
Watching this is in my black Xiaomi Mi A1 I got from Widget City. 😁 The rear camera is great. You should've mentioned how good the implementation of portrait mode is, especially in the price segment. (Been comparing it to my mom's Nova 2i). It can also run games smoothly like Asphalt 8 unlike Nova 2i that has countless skipped frames.
It's better than Nova 2i yes, but it's not really that good. We don't have a lot of decent samples, a lot of them have awkward cutouts still, but the one we showed in the video was a really good one.
Your reviews makes me to pay attention lol and from what I observed, I think the photos taken are kinda blurry. I don't know if I am right. Btw, does it have a corning gorilla glass protection on the screen?
Samir Kool depends on ur taste...if u care about stock android u have no choice other thn a1....bt if that doesnt matter nova 9i is the best choice cuz it has a better battery life, bigger screen fr the same footprint and slightly better camera
I got a xiaomi redmi note 4x. The phone is awesome, but for my experience cameras are not that good on xiaomi phones. My sister got a xiaomi mi note 3. 13Mp+13Mp camera which is actually really really awesome for around 290€, with 128 GB fast storage, usb typ c, 3500mah battery for 2 days useage and so on xd
GadgetMatch BTW, my A1 back label reads "Made in China", bought it from a legit (local) reseller a couple of weeks after the launch as it really felt as my Gadgetmatch (no pun intended) Cameras, processor, design & performance all checks out. 👍 Have gotten the prompts to download the monthly security updates & successfully installed them which had made at least an improvement on the charging time from 2 hours to 1.5 hours (at least for the Dec 2017 update) 😁 Still no QuickCharge which is an SD625 capability that was not 'turned on' for the A1 but, echoing MJ, "I'm not complaining" 😎 #stockAndroidFTW
why is that Xiaomi are not that available here in the philippines even mindanao, the only way to buy is to order from lazada and waited for too long, they dont have even a typical store. whyy 💔
Is this one better than honor 9 lite? I'm looking for a budget phone and this one caught my attention. Hope someone help me to decide 😊 I'm excited to buy..😅
Buy the Mi A1 here: goo.gl/WF1Zcs
GadgetMatch Pls review blackview s8 😊
Bakit walang Philippine price
Philippines is not on the list goo.gl/g56ddQ

Will this phone work on straight talk?
Just came here for the nostalgia. The best phone I have ever bought! Infact, I still use it as my primary phone, no need to upgrade yet!
@Will The video is nostalgic 🙄
I hope huawei do an android one version phone also. They are pumping out phones all over the place and this would be great opportunity to test the waters.
Agreed
Aggre
They did a fantastic job with Nexus 6P. Hope they'll be back!
I think you knew what happened now
I'm currently typing from Mi A1 4GB + 64GB (Black)
It's pretty good, fast & responsive.
BTW, edit that price range because now it's been cut permanently to $210
On GearBest?
PS we love the black one
GadgetMatch Nope, I'm Indonesian & it's available through LAZADA (Now, It's out of stock) & the Mi Official Store (On some provinces)
hi, how do you find battery life and camera quality ?
may i ask, i heard that it got heating issue when charging or same? is it true also how is the heat management when you use it heavy?
Mi A1 the best mid range😍
Karr Bondoc huawei nova 2i is better
Mi A1 is the best, I'm typing on it right now
I have Mi A1 & it charges in just 1 hour & 30 minutes from 0% to 100% but sometimes it took two hours also
It's a superb mid ranger which gives looks of a flagship in hands with very bright display and fast performance with no lag in gaming specially
An excellent performer with great camera (Specially Portrait mode in daylight) & battery life, Stock Android works fine but we have no option of black theme in it just white theme in it , (Maybe in OREO Update which is about to come they include black theme also )
Anyhow in my point of view it's better then H.7X , mate 10 lite & Oppo f5
What charger do you use? We don't get those results :(
I use the same wire which comes with box but i dont use box charger infact i use another Mi Fast charger which i bought from Mi Store some months ago ... 100-240VAC , 50/60Hz , 0.5 A ( 5V=2A /9V=12A/12V=1A ) these things are mentioned on My Mi Fast Charger & believe me it just took 1-hour and 30 minutes to charge from 0% to 100% but some times dont know why it took two hours also but mostly probably it took just 1-hour and 30 minutes ,,, I also read somewhere in forums that after latest updates Xiaomi Reduced charging time , Maybe your reviewed unit need to update
Cheer's
I also heard this somewhere on other review. It support fast charging but fast chargers aren't provided.
I got the MiA1 earlier today! You guys were a great help. I was really skeptical about non-mainstream phone brands. Thank you for illuminating me.
Mi A1 is REALLY AWESOME ❤️❤️❤️
Abhishek Bhattacharya best thing is portrait mode, my friend own c7 pro but he dont portrait lolz
I'm so glad that I live in Busan. I can't expect to see Busan in your video. And I watch this video through Mi A1.
Chay loved Busan!
Oh and we have more photos from Busan here :) www.gadgetmatch.com/24-hours-busan-xiaomi-mi-a1/
GadgetMatch Thanks :)
홍영기 Aren't Koreans using Samsung mobile phones?
Kam Chan Yeah many koreans use Galaxy S series. But I prefer pure andorid OS , So my previous mobile phones are Nexus series.
I got one today! First impression things i like 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
1. Design & built 📱
2. Camera of course 📷
3. Pure android, oreo very soon 🐙
4. Battery backup 🔋
5. Audio quality 🎧
Price worthy 9.5/10
Thank you GadgetMatch I was waiting for you guys to review this phone coupled with the Nova 2i, thanks for making it easy for me to decide on my xmas present!
Best Short In-depth Review. Great
Your video keep on improving and I really liked the content and the simple graphic used.
Keep up the good work, guys!
Yup.. I bought it and am more than satisfied! My cousin is changing his iPhone 6s for a Mi A1 :)
•IFST• Flight Simulator Channel can I know which web site you purchased it on I don't want to be scammed
@@bruno-fornite1262 amazon if you have got one already
I think i will wait Xiaomi MIA1 2nd generation next year. Hopefully they can make it 18:9 aspect rasio, 16MP Selfie camera, OIS &EIS, Fast Charging.
That sounds like the dream phone!
GadgetMatch Yes..! They make Xiaomi Redmi 5A Prime (Y1) with 16MP Front Camera. And They just released Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus with 18:9 Aspect rasio. That would be dreamy phone.. 😅
If the price remains the same, then it woild be awesome..
Oh indonesia
yes this. I'm also waiting for a 2nd gen xiaomi mia1.
You forgot to mention that the sound quality of it is incredible at this price point, witch is one of the strong's of this phone.
Edit: Holy this got highlighted!
soy gordo T 👍👍👍agree. When I heard the music via headset for the first time . wow... The bass really good👍 great phone. this what I've been looking.. Budget phone with nice bass

You guys deserve more subscribers, always succeed in the reviews.

"I'm Michael Josh, Thanks for Dropping By"
Just bought one, 2 hours ago. Loving it.
Could you compare the Asus Zenfone 4 Max and this?

Did I mention the headphone jack?
Great review btw Michael.
I'm rocking the black version in September 2018, recently updated to Android 8.1 and it's still an awesome phone. Fingers crossed for pie!
Finally a review with a clear speaker. Just ordered the phone.
Glad you found your gadget match.
Hey bro. Nice review. I like how you provide all the points that should be taken. Like the ccharging.
I just got and I can't wait to start using it, for a small price I don't expect much but people are happy with it so I hope I will be too
Which should I buy the mi a1 or the redmi 5 plus
Thank you MJ, finally gadget match release this mi a1 video 🤘👌
🤗
Great review!
Watching it on my Mi A1 😎
Best review ( in depth ) about miA1 🤗🤗🤗
Can you compare A1 camera with Nexus 5x/6p camera?Old models with good camera.It is time to change Nexus,but still want pure android and have no money for Pixels.
I subscribed mainly because I actually understood every word. I hope to see more videos of yours.
How about compare the MI A1 with the honor 7x, I would like to know which is better cuz it's difficult for me to choose between those two, so can u help me out..
which is better xiaomi redmi 5 plus or xiaomi a1 ? please notice me.. thanks
THIS IS QUALITY, well done!
Any chance you can compare this to the Huawei Honor 7X & Honor 9 Lite? Thanks!
Dude I'm using this phone...Its really beyond imagination with this price range of 15k ....
Agreed 🙌🏼
There you go ,, subscribed you man😍😍
i have an iphone 5s and im looking to upgrade. I was considering getting the iphone 6s or the galaxy s6. Is this phone as good as those two?
Please compare the camera of Mi A1 with Nova 2i. Bcz my uncle bought nova 2i and now he wants to exchange his nova 2i with a1. So please compare the cameras...
The best review ever i seen in youtube bro you are great i watch you first time i love you bro 🤔😇😇😇
in terms of hardware specs, should i go for the zenfone 3 or the mi a1? i mean they got the same SD625 inside and a great camera.
We don't like ZenUI and all the bloatware it comes with, so our vote goes to the Mi A1. The Oreo update on the Zenfone 3 still hasn't rolled out, but it'll likely come to the Mi A1 in the next few weeks plus you're more likely to get up to Android P update next year as well. The dual camera and really cheap price tag are just a great bonus to add.
*PLEASE COMPARE MIA1 TO HONOR 7X PLZZ*
Hi! Should I buy a mi a1 right now or wait for a newer model if it’s coming soon?
There are a lot of new Android One devices coming up in the same price range. The Nokia 7 Plus is promising. Video is coming very soon.
I'm waiting for the Nokia 6 (2018) to be available in the Philippines.
Currently using the Mi A1 32GB version and it is one hell of a phone for its price
How much is this? Fan of Android one here since cherry had one before.
Beautiful video and great overview. Thanks so much keep it up!
Xiaomi Mi A1 or Huawei Nova 2i/Mate 10 lite, which is better?
Mr. Grey I was considering all 4, after a long research, I ended up buying Mi A1.
Mi A1 how is it?
Mi a1 definitely
Jinsang slumpin music is osm 😘😘🤗 thks bro
Im planning to buy a new phone this January, is this a good choice? Do you know a fairly new model that has the treding borderless displays? I cant afford the iPhoneX, maybe around 400-600 USD. Any suggestions?
+GadgetMatch
How much does the Huawei Mate 10 cost in your country? That’s a good, solid alternative. The Mi A1 is too cheap for your budget :)
I recommend Hwawei
They have solid camera
And now oreo stable is finally out with fast charge! Which makes this phone even more appealing.
Watching this is in my black Xiaomi Mi A1 I got from Widget City. 😁
The rear camera is great. You should've mentioned how good the implementation of portrait mode is, especially in the price segment. (Been comparing it to my mom's Nova 2i). It can also run games smoothly like Asphalt 8 unlike Nova 2i that has countless skipped frames.
It's better than Nova 2i yes, but it's not really that good. We don't have a lot of decent samples, a lot of them have awkward cutouts still, but the one we showed in the video was a really good one.
Here are more sample photos :) www.gadgetmatch.com/24-hours-busan-xiaomi-mi-a1/
Is Honor 7x better??
Can u please do a comparison video
Please do a comparison with the nova 2i
Your reviews makes me to pay attention lol and from what I observed, I think the photos taken are kinda blurry. I don't know if I am right. Btw, does it have a corning gorilla glass protection on the screen?
They’re not blurry, except maybe the spider since that was taken with the second lens. Selfies are not the sharpest. Yes, Gorilla Glass 3.
6:34 WAIT WHAAT THIS MEAN ITS NOT AVAILABLE IN THE PHILIPPINES :( PLEASE REPLY!
Are the Home, back button with light?
can i use sd card as storage for my apps like samsung?? like move to sd card
really luv ur videos!! luv from india!! and do tell me mi a1 or honor 9i or honor 7x??
Samir Kool depends on ur taste...if u care about stock android u have no choice other thn a1....bt if that doesnt matter nova 9i is the best choice cuz it has a better battery life, bigger screen fr the same footprint and slightly better camera
We haven’t tried the Honor 7X. Agreed with Abdullah said. Another thing to note is depth effect on the Mi A1 works better than the Nova 2i.
and what about the overall performance and manual camera stuff thnxx!!
Compare with lenovo k8 note dual camera ,, please ,, both gives excellent value for money , but many of us are confused which one to buy
Hello, which camera is better, the huawei p8 lite 2017 or the xiaomi mi a1?
Ted Ehioghae a1
why? and sorry, it's now i saw your comment. I have already bought the huawei
just now
Ted Ehioghae ok no worry it's just my opinion 😎
I got a xiaomi redmi note 4x. The phone is awesome, but for my experience cameras are not that good on xiaomi phones. My sister got a xiaomi mi note 3. 13Mp+13Mp camera which is actually really really awesome for around 290€, with 128 GB fast storage, usb typ c, 3500mah battery for 2 days useage and so on xd
Redmi Note 4X better camera and better batterylife
It's funny how he reminds me of Gary Coleman.
Should i upgrade from RN4 to MIA1 🤔
Hmm might be wise to just wait for now. Unless your Redmi Note 4 is already dying?
GadgetMatch nah , its still fine but the camera quality is really bad 😂.
Try Google camera mod with hdr+, made my redmi note 3 pro camera 4 times better
Akin nalang yan. HAHAHA Merry Christmas !!! 💖🎄
gadgetmatch, what is the title of the background song for this video? its relaxing and just gives a feel good vibe. hope you reply, thanks
You didn't talked about portrait mood. Seems like you haven't used it as your main device..
Great review! Nice to see that Xiaomi can do Google too. Do you think you can do the Moto X4 since that one also is an Android One device?
We might do a video on it next year.
You haven't talked about the dac included 3.5 mm audio port and the loudspeaker quality because both these are also top-notch
This is my phone!
Thanks for the review!

GadgetMatch BTW, my A1 back label reads "Made in China", bought it from a legit (local) reseller a couple of weeks after the launch as it really felt as my Gadgetmatch (no pun intended)
Cameras, processor, design & performance all checks out. 👍
Have gotten the prompts to download the monthly security updates & successfully installed them which had made at least an improvement on the charging time from 2 hours to 1.5 hours (at least for the Dec 2017 update) 😁
Still no QuickCharge which is an SD625 capability that was not 'turned on' for the A1 but, echoing MJ, "I'm not complaining" 😎
#stockAndroidFTW
Watching this at my mi a1 Love it 😍
great review , also Mi A1 is a great phone. totally worth it
Watching this video on the A1.
Great video!
What color do you guys have?
Nice! We have the black Mi 5X. That one is sexy.
GadgetMatch I have the Gold one 😛
Jishnu how is your mi a1 faring? I heard there is an issue regarding its LCD did you encounter some problems ?
Fav tech reviewer 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
pls give a comparison and suggestion between Moto G5s plus Vs Mi A1... especially camera specs in image capture and video stabilization... thanks
which better,this or Sony Xperia XA2 ?
Muhd Shafiq XA2, snap630
only if it had a 4100 mah battery.
Swapnendu Kar Well i am a Mi A1 user, the Battery is fitted for day to day use.
Do you feel like SAR values are a threat?
In overall performance which is better? Mi A1 or Redmi 5 plus?
From what you can see, basically almost the same.
On paper, Redmi 5 plus has a superior CPU, but not by much.
Snapdragon 625 vs Snapdragon 636.
The Asian Brownlee. Outstanding review!
I'm currently using Nexus 5. I'm interested in getting this.
for the price, this phone is amazing and I love clean android one
Im from India and i love your review
Can you compare Huawei P Smart with this MI A1
Nubia M2 is similar and goes now for 160$, which is better?
can you compare it with xiaomi s2?
how is the audio recording quality ?
Bro loud speaker quality and head phone quality is outstanding in this price point......
Why are you guys not reviewing of the Oneplus 5T?
why is that Xiaomi are not that available here in the philippines even mindanao, the only way to buy is to order from lazada and waited for too long, they dont have even a typical store. whyy 💔
Darwin Jay Nuevo join mi a1 group pre. dami ibang seller ng xiaomi sa pinas

Nice review. Micheal, please review Redmi 5 Plus. thanks
Is this one better than honor 9 lite? I'm looking for a budget phone and this one caught my attention. Hope someone help me to decide 😊 I'm excited to buy..😅
Love your videos...can you compare Huawei p smart Vs Xiaomi Mi A1
