It's just a rumor!

Anyways, Oppo ditched the headphone jack WAY back in 2012 with Oppo Finder. Darn thing came with Micro USB headphones! Two years later in 2014, Oppo released The R5, again without a headphone jack!

Then came the Moto Z, which was the first popular phone without a headphone jack and made headlines.

That's probably when Apple's CEO Tim Cook probably said to himself: "Hmm, lets copy Android." And that's what happened with iPhone 7!

One more thing:

Do I've to tell you which platform came first with:
1. Wireless charging?
2. Dual-Cameras?
3. OLED displays?
4. Edge to edge bezel less design?
5. Tall display with 18:9 or more aspect ratio?
6. Water resistance?
7. Fast charging?
8. Stereo speakers?
9. Raise and tap to wake?
10. Facial ID?

The only thing Apple has solely 'invented' is the obnoxious and totally useless 3D Touch. 3D touch is absent in iPhone XR and rumor has it that 3D touch will be absent in ALL future iPhones as well!

The iPhone XR shows Apple admitting 3D Touch is a failure

So... You were saying?

@k-four-nine
How is the camera of A1? is it worth switching from redmi 4x? and Mi A1 was released on July 17 so almost 2 years old, is it wise to buy it?

What can my redmi 4x fetch if i sell it and go for A1

[HellsGuardian]

its showing 23k on app as well :s

The camera is great for the price.

It take fantastic photos in broad daylight and well lit indoor environments. HDR effects are great too and it's surprisingly easy to take professional looking shots and the bokeh effect is convincing enough. Although the sensor struggles quite a bit in dark environments and auto mode tend to crank-up the ISO which result in noisy images.

On the video side; the phone can record videos in 4k (No other phone in 20k range can do that!) and 720p 240FPS slow-motion videos are also possible but it lack stabilization so... You may want to root your device and install Gcam which has fantastic EIS:

The 3d touch is just a gimmick. Everyone knows that. It is useful sometimes but nothing you can't live without.

[HellsGuardian]

But is it wise to buy a phone that was launched in July-17?

Secondly, i like MIUI and it has some very good apps. Do you think stock android experience is better?

[asharab.butt]

Id recommend it only based on it having stock android. It's very light and unlike a manufacturers skin on top this won't lag and stutter like hell after a year or 2 of use. Same is for iphones however since the iphones are old and quite possibly abused by the previous owner i always recommend a new phone over a used one unless you can thoroughly check a phone for faults.

Personally i have not felt any lag on MIUI and MIUI has some really good and handy apps. Is there a way to get those apps on stock android?

[crossfirex]

Mi A1 is good for those who like pure android

[k-four-nine]

The phone used to cost 30k and now it's selling for mere 20k, so yes it's a wise decision!

Stock Android vs custom skins is a long debate.

I personally like Stock Android UI but there are many who prefer custom skins with bold, flashy colors such as MIUI! If you're in doubt then consider the Redmi 5 Plus which has the same SoC, comes with MIUI although it lacks a dual-camera module, full metal uni-body construction and Android updates will be few and far between.

Both are great options, it's all up to you!

[k-four-nine]

Well…. to continue the discussion I can also pull records that favors apple. But why?

Because you can't!

I am a happy & satisfied user of Apple and will keep using it, even keep recommending it to others too.

Tell me one thing a used iPhone 6S does better than the similarly priced Mi A2 and I shall become your شاگرد for life!

One thing, that's all I'm asking for here.

Think about it!

I am just happy that you are comparing andriod's 2018 phone with 3 years old iphone. It tells everything. LOL .

Here we go again. The a2 is a hardly even a midrange phone while the iphone 6, although a couple years old was a flagship. Comparing these 2 phones should mean nothing especially somehow prove that apple is better. It would prove your point of someone was comparing an Android flagship from this year to an iphone from 2-3 years ago. The only thing comparing a midrange to an older flagship can prove is that that's how fast the world is moving. Today's midrange is as good if not better than a flagship from 2-3 years ago.

My redmi 5 plus records 4k videos.
Guys miui 10 is very bad for battery. What should I do now?

[k-four-nine]

What a lousy rebuttal!

A good condition iPhone 6S (64GB) goes for around 33-35k. Meanwhile; The Mi A2 (64GB) also costs 35k so here you go.

Anyhow, let's end this silly, childish albeit enjoyable (For me, NOT for YOU!) argument, shall we?

You threw me a loose ball and... I hit a SIXER with it!

Nothing personal, eh?!

[k-four-nine]

Wait for the stable release.

MIUI 10 was still in beta, the last time I checked.

[s15]

Wait for next update, i still occasionally suffer high battery drain even after reset.

Backup your data and do a factory reset.
