Xiaomi Mi A1 offers more than just pure Android experience

Xiaomi India launched its first stock Android-based ‘Mi A1’ smartphone on September 5. The phone is priced very competitively at Rs 14,999 and will go on sale starting September 12 through offline and online channels.

The Mi A1 smartphone from the stable of Xiaomi got the stature of Android One, a platform created by Google for budget smartphone makers with a promise of pure Android experience and quicker software updates.

The Mi A1 is the first Xiaomi smartphone to run on stock Google Android Nougat out of the box. Xiaomi has infused the camera app, Mi Store app, Remote app and app for feedback in the OS but other than that everything else is pure Android. The software offers no frill design and is clean to the core and, therefore, there is no clutter anywhere.

What is important to note here is that the device will get Android latest Oreo update soon and the phone will be one of the devices to get the ‘Android P’ first. The information was shared by the company’s official at the launch.
