Nice phone for the money.
Be better if kernel source were released so the xda wizards could
do some development.

Already own this. Enhanced version.

do we know if this device gets official MIUI V6 or KitKat in general ?????

MIUI 6 for sure.

This is indeed a nice device.
One question does this device has screen protection such as Gorilla Glass or Dragontrail Glass like Redmi/Hongmi 1s?

Doesn't list it in the specs. Just says it is an IPS-LCD Screen.
IPS stands for in-plane switching. An IPS-LCD is a type of thin display that offers better viewing angles than TFT-LCDs. IPS-LCDs feature two transistors for each pixel, where TFT-LCDs use just one. This requires a more powerful backlight, which delivers more accurate colors, and allows the screen to be viewed from a wider angle. The downside is that an IPS-LCD may consume more power than a TFT-LCD.
IPS-LCDs typically are found on high-end cell phones and portable devices. Apple's iPhone and iPad both feature IPS-LCDs, as does the Motorola Droid.

where can you buy the 16gb version?
i found the 2gb ram version here but it says it only has 8gb
with regard to the 2g/3g it says it supports:
2G: GSM 900/1800/1900MHz
3G: WCDMA 900/2100MHz
does this mean i would get full HSDPA speeds on the Three network in the UK like i do currently with my Galaxy Note 1 (N7000)

No

May not get. It won't take time to do so for them. When indian companies like xolo did for many 1 year old phones immediately after release, why can't Xiaomi?

http://en.miui.com/thread-67454-1-1.html
All Redmi phones will get MIUI 6 developer version and stable version; We will try our best to release some beta versions by the end of Dec. 2014

I think the device is pretty great for the price tag.
Got some really nice specs of you ask me.
Works great in general use, web surfing with chrome is butter smooth and sweet gaming performance as well.
My only hardware issue is with the camera, despite being a 13 MP camera, it's pretty lame, but still you can get "okay" photos out of it.
And yea Btw, blame Mediatek for the source code. [emoji16]

These are my proofs about this Issue

Does any body knows how to fix this Issue And why it is like this ?

Lol, It has 12mp + 20mp, 12 mp is main camera, 20mp is for night photos, it switches automatically but somewhere I read that you can switch them manually too,

There is a BUT to this

You are saying that each pixel is smaller, even if that is true still morr pixel means better picture quality, my problem is that why should Mi A2 main camera be 12MP and not 20MP one ?

Yeah its true that Megapixels size bigger is better when it has same sensor...
In mi a2 / mi 6x case, the 12mp camera is have better sensor than the 20mp, so the 12mp is the main camera, 20mp is just help 12mp on low light.
12mp use Sony IMX 486
20mp use Sony IMX 376

Tell me more about it
Wow, that could be the only explanation. Can you please tell me where ti find details on A2 camera ?
And may I ask why not just an awesome camera plus 2MP for depth of filed ?

Got device yesterday. Getting less than 3 hours of SoT. Should I return?

Here is my SoT. Also, I don't even have my sim inserted yet. Just using wifi

cpu bug is not fixed in oct update as they just recently submitted this bug to qualcomm

Bug is because of fingerprint sensor. Disable it and reboot until fix

Also 51% after 18h doesn't look bad to me. My old phone used to have 51% after only 4-5hours with just 4g / no SOT LoL

In that case will hold till cpu bug fix before buying.
After all for this price range it feels good.

I returned mine after a month of use. Wasn't happy at all with it.

This is why people rooted there phone it actually helps if you can control the CPU.

I almost bought the A2. After reading about the bugs in the A2 held off.
Get the Nokia 7.1 Plus instead, 4/64 price is just a bit more than the A2, but :
Android One
SD710
micro SD Card
3.5 mm audio
FM radio
Type-C
most of all ( I need a good camera) :
(dual) Sony IMX363 sensor, f/1.8 aperture, 1.4-micron pixels, dual-pixel autofocus
ZEISS optics
OIS
Camera 2 API Level 3 support (most prob)
Puredisplay, DCI-P3 wide color gamut ,500 nits brightness.
EDIT : 3500mAh
EDIT2 :
https://www.phonearena.com/news/Nokia-7-1-Android-9-Pie-update-testing_id110073
Fortunately, HMD Global did confirm an update to Pie by the end of October and, seemingly staying true to its promise, this version has already been spotted in testing.

That looks nice, only question is the price. I got two A2 from Amazon at 202€ (4/64 black) and 194€ (4/64 gold), with Nokia I'm not sure I could remain under 400€ for two phones. My dad needs a new phone, if the 7.1 plus is at a reasonable price I'll get him that and say bye bye to Xiaomi.

Is it worth paying this much amount for this phone considering there are many other good phones available in same price range?

What does the ROM development scene seem like? I know it's too early to say anything yet, but is it easily unlockable/rootable?

It is very easily rootable. Matter of fact, the 12 Pro that I bought off tradingshenzhen comes pre-unlocked.

i am waiting for 7 days for unlock..
btw i couldn't find the 13.0.4 version of the rom anywhere. It shows as global rom. but when I searched I got 13.0.3, 13.0.5 & 13.0.6
anyonw has link to 13.0.4?

I'll probably end up buying this then. Xiaomi Phones + Custom ROMs are the best

Question Is the Ultra still king of the hill?

If you want the best Android camera experience, is the M11 still the best option more so than the Pixel 7 Pro and other recent releases?

Top 2 android contenders right now would be 12S ultra or samsung s23 ultra apparently.

As far as I know Mi 11 ultra is better than 12s ultra camera wise.

Based on camera samples I have seen on several popular (and not so popular) YouTubers, the best overall is the Samsung Galaxy Ultra phones. I do like a little bit (just subtle) of vibrancy in my pictures.

Well, guys above don't know what they are talking about...

11 Ultra is better than S23U and comparable to 12S Ultra but 12SU doesn't have full res in SGCam yet, 11U has full res in all sensors.

S23U ist not at all better. The sensors are really small, the Mi 11 Ultra has superior sensors, only the image processing of the S23U is more up to date (but you can fix that with GCam on the Mi 11 Ultra)
I've testet many different phones now, the best cameras at the moment are the Vivo X90Pro+ and Oppo FInd X6 Pro - unfortunately both are China only.
One of the best main cameras is the iPhone 14 Pro (Max) if you shoot in Apple ProRAW (50MB+ per file, but the quality is great) but the ultra-wide and the tele sensors of the iPhone are not good.
So right now if you have a Mi 11 Ultra or 12S Ultra and you live outside of China, be happy and keep your Xiaomi

One thing to add, you can literally beat ProTRASH with the GCam 12MP RAW, so can't really agree on that point.
