Mi A1 Review : A Clean Stock Android Dual Camera Smart Phone

Need a Camera Based Smart Phone? Mi A1 Might Fulfill Your Needs

Hey folks!, TechnoSports here, is back again with another review of the newly launched Xiaomi’s Redmi Mi A1. This smartphone was launched by Xiaomi with the collaboration of Google. The most exciting part of this device is that it does not run on the typical MI UI as Xiaomi smartphones are known of but it runs on pure stock android. The Xiaomi Mi A1 represents the reboot of the Android One project. And, developing this device was also a part of the above said project and it truly is the future of Android One, which makes it clear that the project is no longer just about for entry-level phones.

Mi A1

The Xiaomi Mi A1 has been heavily marketed as created by Xiaomi and powered by Google at the launch event. The Mi A1 has already been guaranteed to receive an update to Android 8.0 Oreo by the end of this year. Also it will be receiving an update to Android P within the said time or in the early 2018. The Mi A1 appears to have decent specifications for its price. The dual cameras are a great addition which not only enhances the looks of this device but makes it look like a flagship device having premium design features.

This phone comes in Black, Gold, and Rose Gold colours. The front display panel boasts of 2.5D curved-edge Gorilla Glass, which makes the phone feel look premium. The rounded chamfered edges and corners provides a decent fit in a ones hand (even though it gives a bit of a slippery kind of feel without any back cover or case). So go and get a case for it and pop it in and you r good to go!, and the 7.3mm side profile gives it sleek appearance.

Mi A1

A1, A Copy of iPhone 7?

It is very much a look alike of the Apple’s iPhone 7 Plus due to the very similar kind of camera placement, the antennae lines and the fingerprint sensor on the back of the Mi A1. There are capacitive Android navigation buttons below the screen. The power and volume buttons have a good tactile feel, and are placed on the right where they are easily accessible with the thumb or any finger depending on which hand you are using the phone with. The hybrid dual-SIM tray is on the left, while an IR Blaster is placed on top.

The bottom has a USB Type-C port, a speaker grille, and a 3.5mm audio jack. The fingerprint scanner is located at the back, and it works well. The dual cameras protrude slightly from the rear, and are accompanied by a dual tone LED flash. There’s no branding at the front but you will find the Mi logo on the lower back, along with an Android One logo.

Camera Review :

[slideshow_deploy id=’461′]

The dual cameras on the Xiaomi Mi A1 makes up one of its biggest features. Thanks to the two different lenses, the company claims you can get 2x optical zoom and blurred backgrounds. Starting off with the depth mode, we were able to take some great samples with bokeh effects. Most of our portrait shots had clearly defined edges but some did manage to overdo the blurring. Colours are natural and edges were defined well when there was adequate light, but this took a hit in low light. No manual effort is required, and the effect does work pretty good in this device of this budget oriented price range. Autofocusing on the Mi A1 is quick, and is mostly accurate even in different light conditions.

We noticed ample amount of noise in the evening and night time shots, even with light sources around. In completely dark spots, the Mi A1 struggled a lot and most of the photos were indistinct despite the autofocus working well. Xiaomi claims that the Mi A1’s camera app has a low-light enhancement feature, but we didn’t find
any differences with it enabled. The 5-megapixel front camera took some good selfies in good light, and details were fairly good. Selfies taken at night were almost completely dark without some kind of light source around.

Overall, the Mi A1’s dual cameras are a great feature to have at this price point, and results won’t usually disappoint you. Low-light performance, however, needs a lot of work.

Here are some the camera samples that we managed to take in different lighting conditions:-

PICTURES TAKEN IN LOW LIGHT CONDITIONS(STRUGGLES A LOT!!)

PICTURES TAKEN IN MODERATE LIGHTING CONDITIONS(STILL STRUGGLES QUITE A BIT BUT NOT THAT MUCH)

PICTURES TAKEN IN DAYLIGHT CONDITIONS(SO MUCH BETTER AND CRISP)

POTRAIT MODE IN DAYLIGHT CONDITION(VERY GOOD!!)

POTRAIT MODE IN LOW LIGHTING CONDITIONS(STILL STRUGGLING)

POTRAIT MODE IN MODERATE LIGHTING CONDITIONS(QUITE GOOD)

 

 

NOTE:

The speaker output is really very very good. It’s loud and clear and the headphone output through the 3.5 mm headphone jack has completely BLOWN us away in the first attempt, even without using any kind of top of the line premium, paid Music Players, not even with the Graphic Equalizer ON!!.The output is phenomenal!!. It can drive heavy headphones of high impedances (greater than 16 ohm like of the 300ohm range) like of that of the AUDIO TECHNICA, SHURE, AKG, etc. If Xiaomi had claimed it to be the MUSIC PHONE, it would have really made a remarkable sense all all the audiophiles out there!. Thanks to the dedicated 10V smart power amplifier for audio enhancing quality.

Mi A1

 

Battery :

The 3080mAh battery in the Mi A1 lasted for roughly 15 hours with heavy usage.on having Outlook, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Telegram, Gmail, and WhatsApp running in the background at all times and it managed to run for near about 11 hours on a daily basis depending on how extensively you use the smart phones.

Mi A1

OVERALL IT IS A VERY POWER PACKED SMARTPHONE IN THIS BUDGET ORIENTED PRICE RANGE BY DELIVERING DUAL CAMERAS, AN OCTACORE PROCESSOR, 4GB OF RAM AND 64GB OF ROM, ANDROID NOUGAT 7.1.2 DIRECTLY OUT OF THE BOX, 5.5″ FULL HD SCREEN AND PREMIUM FLAGSHIP LOOKS! IF YOU ARE UPTO ON BUYING THIS PHONE, YOU WON’T REGRET AT ALL. JUST GO FOR IT AND HAVE IT IN
YOUR HANDS.

Indian skipper Virat Kohli kept Indian hopes alive with an aggressive innings( 65 of 42) & former captain MS Dhoni made 49 of 37 but it was not enough to take India past victory.

Kohli Played a Good Innings

New Zealand’s opener batsman Colin Munro hammered an unbeaten 109 0f 58, which consisted of 7 fours & 7 sixes. He made his 2nd international T20I century.

New Zealand’s spinners were bowling short of the crease & were attacking the middle & leg stumps making it difficult for Indian batsman to get underneath the ball. Especially Dhoni was finding it difficult to time the ball & started a slow innings later he hit many boundaries & over boundaries, but it was not enough.

Real Madrid’s poor run of form

Real Madrid’s poor run of form

Real Madrid has suddenly seen a recent slump in their form after they lost their la liga match to Girona 2-1 in the weekend and again lost their champions league group stage match against Tottenham Hotspur 3-1. Real Madrid’s defence was no match to Tottenham’s attacking trio of Hary Keane, Dele Alli and Ericksen. The absence of Keylor Navas from goal and Varane and Carvajal from defense due to injury, was the main reason of the lackluster display of Real Madrid’s defense, which led to the breaking of the record of never losing a champions league group stage match to any English club. This new team without Pepe, Danillo, Morata and James lacks in depth of the squad which also played a major role as many of the star players are injured. Bale and Kovacic are injured too for months.

Zidane : “We weren’t able to get the result today. We’ve lost a league match and a Champions League match. That’s two defeats in a row and we can’t be happy, neither can we be emotional. It’s a bad time, but you have to accept it. When you win it’s accepted and we’re happy. When you lose you have to hold your head up high and think that this is football and we have a lot of games still to play and time to turn this around and that is what we’re going to do”.

Following the clash between Real Madrid and Tottenham at Wembley, Sergio Ramos spoke to the press about the result: “The score line is a bit deceptive, not to take anything away from Tottenham. They played very well, they’re a great side, with a great stadium and fans who really make a difference. We’ve benefitted from Borussia Dortmund’s draw and we’re still well in the mix. We would have liked the result to be different, and to be fighting to be top of the group. We did certain things quite well but that’s overshadowed by the result. We understand that the fans could get disillusioned after recent results, but Real Madrid always fight back and if anyone thinks that we’re done for, we’ll put them in their place. From my experience at Real Madrid, when you lose a couple of games, people begin to talk about a crisis. You have to stay calm and be united. We’re alive in our favourite competition, the Champions League. We must stay calm, remain united and convinced that the Real Madrid we know will be back very soon”.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored Real Madrid’s goal in what was their first ever competitive game at Wembley, and he spoke to the press after the final whistle: “It’s a bad result because we’re used to winning. We’re on a poor run but we want to change it and I’m sure we’re going to do so. It’s just the beginning, we’ve got a long time to improve and I’m convinced we can do it”.

“We can’t play great all the time, we have to change things and admit we’re not where we wanted to be, but we must stay calm. I don’t think things are too bad, I don’t think the team is playing that badly, so we have to keep the faith. We’ve got to stay positive, because it’s the end the counts, not the beginning”.

Modric: “We must keep going and look for answers. Tottenham deserved to win and we must move forward and try to find solutions to get out of this run. It’s not nice but we’ve been like this before and we’ve always come out of these situations. I’m sure we’ll do it again”.

“It is not a physical or mental problem because we’re physically in good shape. The biggest problem is how we’re playing, we’re not playing like we can and as we have done for a long time. We have to do everything possible to re-find our style of play. We’ve not played how we’d like and we’ll have to find out why that is”.

bdsv

And, at last a good news for all the madridistas out there. Gareth Bale has returned to training and we can expect him to play within few matches only, which can be huge moral boost for the whole squad.

They haven’t just beaten Real Madrid, becoming the first team to win a group game against the EURO CHAMPS since 2012, but simply they’ve outplayed them.
Dele and Christian Eriksen were the scorer’s for the Spur’s where it was only Ronaldo for Real Madrid. Madrid’s poor defence and their inability to resist the counter attacks resulted for their loss this night.The crowd at Wembley was mesmerizing as they never stopped to cheer the home team.
“Real Madrid always bounce back and I’m sure we’ll see the team we saw in Cardiff come back”, said Modric.

Google Pixel 2 vs iPhone 8

So The Battle has begun Between The 2 Premium Phones : Google Pixel 2 & iPhone 8. See Who wins It….

After the launch of iPhone 8, Google has finally brought the Google Pixel 2. Google Pixel will be available from November 2017(1st of the month for Indian customers). You might get confused which 1 to buy so we have brought you the best between the 2 of them. Excited to know who has won the battle? Well then let’s start off the battle :

Design :

Well none of them look astonishing, but in comparison with Pixel 2, iPhone is much better in looks. Due to the all-glass backs iPhone 8 is more elegant, also they support wireless charging too.

The Pixel 2 measures 5.7 x 2.7 x 0.3 inches and weighs 5.01 ounces, while the iPhone 8 is 5.5 x 2.7 x 0.29 inches and weighs 5.22 ounces. So Google gets points here for delivering a bigger 5-inch screen (versus 4.7 inches) in a lighter design.

The Pixel 2 XL delivers a 6-inch screen in a 6.2 x 3 x 0.3-inch package that weighs 6.2 ounces, while the iPhone 8 Plus (6.24 x 3.1 x 0.3 inches, 7.13 ounces) is taller and wider and heavier, despite having a smaller 5.5-inch screen.

Overall iPhone 8 wins because of the premium glass back design and its comfortable feel.

Performance :

Pixel has just been kicked off in this segment. Apple’s A11 Bionic chip has paced the iPhone to record-breaking results in synthetic benchmarks, but it also outpaced the Pixel 2 on real-world tests. Though Pixel has 4GB RAM but the Embedded M11 Motion Coprocessor Processor in iPhone 8 makes it run the fastest. On Geekbench, which measures overall performance, the iPhone 8 hit 10,170, compared with 6,282 for the Pixel 2.

No doubts at all iPhone 8 is the king.

Display :

Well in this section Pixel 2 has gained a lead over iPhone 8 finally.  The Pixel 2 has OLED panel and the 5-inch Pixel 2 (1920 x 1080 pixels) look richer and more saturated, and whites are more of a pure white. With the 4.7-inch iPhone 8 (1334 x 750) gives much sharper images rather than the Pixel 2. Unlike Google’s phones, the new iPhones sport True Tone displays, which means the white balance on the screen automatically adjusts based on ambient light; this could make reading easier on the eyes.

So Pixel 2 has a much richer screen than the iPhone 8.

Camera :

Well this section does matter a lot to customers, let’s see who wins. According to tom’s guide,  iPhone 8 and 8 Plus have the edge when it comes to sheer photo quality. Apple’s handset delivered more vibrant colors and better contrast in a series of shots. With 12.2 MP the Pixel 2 offers better detail and more consistent exposure. Plus, both the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL are capable of taking Portrait shots that blur out the background from both the front and back cameras, thanks to advanced post processing. iPhone 8’s advanced 12 MP rear camera packs a larger and faster sensor, a new color filter, deeper pixels, and optical image stabilization for photos and videos. The camera enables digital zoom up to 5x. Also the iPhone 8 Plus can do portraits with its dual back cameras.

No doubts that iPhone 8 has beaten Pixel 8 straightaway.

Battery Life :

The Pixel 2 has beaten i[hone 8 in this segment. With its 2700 mah battery, it lasts much longer than the Apple’s beast. According to Tom’s Guide Battery Test, which involves continuous web surfing over LTE, the Pixel 2 lasted 11 hours and 7 minutes, and the Pixel 2 hit 12:09.

At the end of the day Pixel 2 lasts longer.

Special Features :

Both support wireless charging but iPhone 8 has the advantage over the Google phone because but Pixel 2 don’t support the Qi standard, so they simply won’t work with a growing number of wireless charging pads. But Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL offer more compelling special features overall, as Google Assistant is smarter and more versatile than Siri, and you can access it with just a quick squeeze of the bottom of the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL. With the new Google Lens feature can recognize objects (anything from landmarks to businesses to signs with phone numbers) so you can instantly act on that info. Also with accessories like Daydream headset for VR and Pixel Buds the phone is more smarter.

Google assistant is a better personal assistant than Siri.

Google Spotlight Stories: Son of Jaguar Trailer

Watch the trailer for “Son of Jaguar,” an interactive, 360°, VR tale, created and directed by Jorge Gutierrez. Watch the full 360 film here: https://bit.ly/2IIPknJ In the most important match of his life, the once mighty masked luchador, Son of Jaguar, faces his legacy, his family, and what it means to be a part of something bigger than himself.

Cost :

Pixel 2 is cheaper a bit than the iPhone 8. Pixel 2 will cost you $649 with 64GB of storage. You can up that to 128GB for $100 more. The iPhone 8 starts at $699, and it will cost you an extra $150 to get 256GB of storage.

The Pixel 2 XL starts at a fairly high $849 for 64GB, and you’ll pay $949 for 128GB of storage. The iPhone 8 Plus has a lower starting price of $799, but you’ll pay $949 at the top end for twice the storage of the Pixel 2 XL at 256GB.

The Pixel 2 is the better value than the iPhone 8, but the iPhone 8 Plus is cheaper than the Pixel 2 XL.

So, we can conclude that in respect to all aspects iPhone 8 is more  valuable and better than the Google Phone. The iPhone 8’s strongest wins come in the camera and performance categories, and it has a slight edge in design.
